The Cheapest Time to Fly to the Philippines
Consider departing on Monday and Tuesday to score cheap airfare to the Philippines. Avoid flying on Saturdays to avoid higher-priced tickets. While the Philippines is a year-round travel destination, the cheapest time to fly there is during the low season, from June to October. This period coincides with the wet season, with less favorable weather conditions and a higher chance of typhoons. However, it’s also when it has fewer tourists, resulting in lower airfares and accommodation prices.
