Philippine Airlines has a direct flight departing Ninoy Aquino Intl. Airport (MNL) at 11:05AM and landing at LAX at 9:35AM — a flight duration of 13 hours and 30 minutes. Pick the best available seat, bring a magazine to keep you entertained and enjoy the ride.
Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Ninoy Aquino Airport to LAX last minute?
Booking your flight from Ninoy Aquino Intl. Airport (MNL) to Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) last minute could save you some dough if you happen to find an amazing deal. However, airfares don’t usually get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you’d prefer to play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. It’s worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airline has the least delays from MNL to LAX?
Recording an on-time performance of 64%, Philippine Airlines is the airline that’s likelier to get you from Ninoy Aquino Airport to Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) without any travel delays. Flight delays aren’t just an annoyance — they can also make you miss an important connection that could ruin your entire vacation. You can keep updated about delays by reviewing your flight status through the Expedia App before you head for the airport. If you’re already at your gate and the delay will significantly affect your plans, head to your airline’s customer service desk to find out what your options are.
What airports do you fly into for Los Angeles from Manila?
From Manila, you can get to Los Angeles via Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX), Long Beach Municipal Airport (LGB) and Bob Hope Airport (BUR).
