Return flights to Manila for £388 with a free checked bag included. Shenzhen Airlines are running this December through March, which means you're looking at decent winter-break timing without the usual premium.
The deal
£388 return per person to Manila with Shenzhen Airlines, valid for departures December 2026 through March 2027. Includes one free checked baggage allowance — that's the bit most budget carriers charge extra for.
Why we like it
The price is genuinely competitive for a return long-haul to Southeast Asia, especially with baggage sorted. The Philippines is a solid choice if you want beaches, decent food, and reasonable onward connections to the rest of the region. One catch: you'll likely route through Shenzhen, which means you're looking at a longer journey than a direct flight, but that's the trade-off at this price point. Worth noting that December-March is peak season for the Philippines, so you'll want to book accommodation quickly.
How to book
Head to Shenzhen Airlines and search your dates. These deals move fast, so if the price looks right, don't sit on it. Check baggage allowance terms on your booking confirmation — occasionally "free bag" promos have weight or size restrictions, though this one appears straightforward.
