Cheap Flights from Calgary to Manila (MNL)
By Fond Travels · Updated August 11, 2026
Calgary and Alberta are home to a large and growing Filipino community, and Manila is one of the most-travelled routes for visiting family back home. There's no non-stop from Calgary (YYC) to Manila (MNL), so the key is picking the right connecting airline and travel dates. Here's our IATA-accredited guide — all priced in CAD.
Best airlines & routings from Calgary to Manila
- Philippine Airlines — via Vancouver (PAL flies non-stop YVR–Manila)
- Cathay Pacific — via Hong Kong
- Japan Airlines / ANA — via Tokyo
- EVA Air — via Taipei
- Korean Air — via Seoul
Connecting through Vancouver on Philippine Airlines is often the most direct option; Asian-hub carriers can be better value depending on the season.
When to book for the best fare
- Peak (most expensive): December holidays (Pasko) and the July–August summer break.
- Best value: the shoulder months and the wet season (roughly June–October, outside holidays).
- Booking window: 2–4 months ahead; earlier for December — it sells out fast.
Tips for Calgary travellers
- Add a domestic Philippine flight (Cebu, Boracay, Palawan) — we can bundle it in.
- Check your baggage allowance early — balikbayan boxes and extra bags add up.
- Travelling as a family? Ask about family fares.
