HOW TO GET TO THE PHILIPPINES
Manila (MNL) and Cebu (CEB) are the two main international travel hubs in the Philippines.
From the U.S.: Philippine Airlines offers non-stop flights to Manila from major cities in the United States, but there are plenty of other great air companies to choose from, including Cathay Pacific (Hongkong) and EVA Air (Taiwan). These three airlines also offer flights from the U.S. to Cebu with no more than a single stop.
From the U.K. & Europe: EVA Air and Cathay Pacific also offer flights to Cebu and Manila with a single stop out of major European cities. For those of you who reside in the U.K. Cathay Pacific is the best option. Emirates also offers flights into these two cities although the stopover in Dubai will extend your travel time by a few hours.
From Asia: Lucky you! There are plenty of direct flights available to both Manila and Cebu, whether you reside in Singapore, Hongkong, Kuala Lumpur other major Asian cities. You can choose from many carriers, including low-cost carriers like AirAsia. Planning a dive trip to the Philippines is really easy!
