Emirates boosts Dubai-Manila flights

From 2 April, four more weekly frequencies for faster connections to and from Canada, the United States and better connections with European departures including Milan, London, Budapest and Athens

As part of its growth strategy in Southeast Asia, Emirates is expanding its offering to the Philippines by introducing, starting from 2 April, four additional weekly flights between Dubai and Manila

 

Hours and operations
On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, flight EK330 will depart Dubai at 00:45, arriving in Manila at 01:25 the following day. Re-entry EK331 will take off from Manila at 03:25, landing in Dubai at 08:25 (local time).

 

On board
The flights will be operated with Boeing 777-300ER configured with 8 private suites in First Class, 42 full-flat seats in Business Class and 304 seats in Economy Class. The expansion offers more choice to business Travellers, marine operators and the large Filipino community within Emirates' network, which includes key markets in the Middle East, Europe, North America and Africa.

 

Faster connections
The new frequencies improve connections via Dubai to Canada and the United States and optimize connections with European departures in the late morning, including Milan, London, Budapest and Athens.

 

Travel experience
Passengers will benefit from Emirates' award-winning service in all classes: regionally inspired cuisine with complimentary drinks and the ice entertainment system with over 6,500 on-demand channels in more than 40 languages, including Tagalog, including films, TV series, music, games, audiobooks and podcasts.

 

Historical presence and local partnerships
Operating in Manila since 1990, Emirates now serves the Philippines with 28 weekly flights, which will increase to 32 from 2 April. Through the partnership with Philippine Airlines, passengers can continue to additional domestic destinations in the Philippines (five via Manila, seven via Cebu and three via Clark) with baggage routed to their destination.

 

Emirates World Store in Manila
In 2025, the company inaugurated the first Emirates World Store in Southeast Asia in Bonifacio Global City (Taguig City), at Shangri-La The Fort: a space where you can discover iconic products, such as the A380 lounge bar, and a selection of Emirates-branded merchandise and travel accessories, including the NBA collection.

 

Reservations
Tickets are available on emirates.com, via the Emirates app, at online and traditional travel agencies and at Emirates outlets.
