Lowest fares from Calgary to Manila
What to know before you book Calgary to Manila
There's no nonstop from Calgary to Manila. Most trips connect in Vancouver, where Philippine Airlines and Air Canada fly nonstop to Manila, or through Asian hubs such as Tokyo, Taipei or Seoul. December is by far the busiest month, so book Christmas trips months ahead; June to September is usually cheapest.
Via Vancouver or via Asia?
Connecting in Vancouver keeps the long flight nonstop and the whole trip under about 20 hours with a good connection. Trips via Tokyo, Taipei or Seoul are sometimes cheaper, but compare the total time.
Bags
Check that the first leg from Calgary has the same baggage allowance as the long flight. On a single ticket it usually follows the international allowance; on separate tickets it may not.
Book Christmas early
Demand from Calgary's Filipino community peaks in December. Start watching fares five to six months ahead for Christmas.
