Best time to fly
Cheapest pockets are February-March at late September through early November, with PHP 60,000-75,000 roundtrip via one-stop carriers. Avoid Pasko-New Year (Dec 15-Jan 5) at European summer peak (Jul-Aug Oktoberfest), kasi tumataas to PHP 110,000-140,000. Spring shoulder (April-May) at autumn (Sep-Oct) ang sweet spot for sightseeing — mild weather, manageable crowds, mas tipid fares. Christmas market season (late November-December) is romantic but expensive. Book 12-16 weeks ahead for best fares.
