Airlines on this route
0 carriers are catalogued nonstop on MNL–DAC. The corridor is flown as a connection, normally through Manila, so the itinerary is built from two flights and the protection you get depends on whether they sit on one ticket. ₱37,323 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
The one choice that changes your exposure on a connecting Manila–Dhaka journey is whether you hold one ticket or two. Manila handled 50,100,000 passengers in 2024 (MIAA / NNIC), so the transfer happens inside a very busy building. On one ticket the carriers accept the connection as their problem: the bag is checked through to DAC, the minimum connecting time published for the airport is what protects you, and a delay on the domestic leg obliges the airline to move you onto the next available onward flight at no charge. On two separately bought tickets none of that holds. You collect the bag in Manila, clear out of the terminal, check in again from scratch, and if the first flight runs late the second airline is entitled to treat you as a no-show and keep the fare. The cheaper two-ticket combination is genuinely cheaper — right up to the first delay, at which point it costs more than the difference it saved.
No carrier flies Manila to Dhaka nonstop. Connecting itineraries route through a Southeast Asian hub, where carriers continue to Dhaka. A single through-ticket protects the connection and is the simpler option for travellers with checked baggage.
PHP fares
₱37,323 was the cheapest MNL–DAC one-way in this site’s fare cache on 2026-08-02, on AirAsia. It is a cache floor for one date and fare class, not a held quote. ₱37,323 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
That ₱37,323 is a cache reading, not a quote, and the difference is worth stating plainly. It is the lowest one-way price the fare feed returned for MNL–DAC at the moment it was polled, for one specific departure date, in one specific fare class. It averages nothing, covers one direction only, and is not reserved — that price normally sits on a small block of seats that can disappear mid-search. Three things it also excludes: checked baggage where the carrier sells a bags-free base fare, seat selection, and any change or refund flexibility. Treat it as the floor of the range you should expect to see, then compare the all-in total once the bag you actually need is added back.
The combined PHP fare covers both legs. Prices rise around the December holidays and major regional events; for those dates, booking two to three months ahead is sensible. For ordinary travel, six to nine weeks of lead time usually secures a reasonable combined fare.
About Dhaka
1 arrival airport serves this route: Dhaka / Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC), at Dhaka, Bangladesh. ₱37,323 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
On arrival you are landing at Dhaka / Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, ICAO VGHS, serving Dhaka, Bangladesh. One habit worth forming on any arrival: read the airport, not the city name. Big metro areas usually have several airports, and the cheapest fare tends to land at the most distant one — where the transfer into town can cost more than the fare saved. Check which airport your fare actually lands at before you compare two prices, and if you are connecting onward from a different airport in the same city, treat that as a separate journey with its own buffer — no airline protects a connection that involves a taxi.
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and one of the most densely populated cities in the world, the country’s political and commercial centre on the Buriganga River. For travellers from Manila it is most often a business destination, reached through a connection.
