About Manila

Manila is a lively gateway to the Philippines, where Spanish-era landmarks, buzzing street life, and a fast-evolving food scene sit side by side. From the historic walls of Intramuros to skyline views along Manila Bay, the city offers a mix of heritage and modern energy that’s easy to dive into.

In May, Manila is typically hot and humid, with daytime highs often around 32–34°C (90–93°F) and warm nights; brief afternoon showers can start to appear as the wet season approaches. Plan sightseeing for early morning or late afternoon, then cool off in air-conditioned museums, malls, or cafés. Travelers can explore Intramuros and Fort Santiago, sample Filipino favorites in Binondo (one of the world’s oldest Chinatowns), and catch a classic sunset promenade by the bay.

How to Book

1. View all Vancouver to Manila flights we found on MintFlying to see current prices
2. China Southern usually routes Vancouver–Manila via Guangzhou (CAN); pick longer layovers (2–4 hours) if you’re checking bags to buffer delays.
3. Most of these fares include 1 carry-on and 2 checked bags.
4. Verify transit requirements for Guangzhou (visa-free transit rules and terminal transfers can change), especially if your itinerary involves an overnight or airport change.

Tips for This Route

• In Guangzhou (CAN) transit, follow the “Transfer/International” signs early—China Southern’s connections can involve a second security check and occasional gate changes, so don’t wander far until your next gate is posted.
• China Southern’s in-flight entertainment library skews heavily Chinese; preload Netflix/Spotify on your phone at YVR, and bring a 3.5mm adapter if you dislike their basic headphones.
• Arriving Manila, have small PHP bills ready: airport taxis often “lack change,” and tipping is modest—round up fares or add 20–50 PHP for help with bags.
• If you land during the rainy season (roughly Jun–Oct), plan extra buffer for NAIA traffic and flooding; Grab can be faster than airport taxis but expect surge pricing.
