Yesterday wanderlust struck me and I was wondering where to go next. Then I stumbled upon the Cebu Pacific twitter account.
They announced a promo sale for flights from Dubai to Manila. That sounded interesting, certainly because I have never been to the Philippines
This morning I opened skyscanner and played around with some dates and there you go: in November 500 AED (136 USD) for a 9 hour direct return flight from Dubai to Manila.
To be honest I paid around 900 AED (245 USD) to check in luggage and have an exit row seat. But still it is a nice price for such a flight.
Another random unplanned trip for this year. Keep an eye on airline promotions and be flexible with your dates in skyscanner. Tip: use the “whole month view”.
