Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers flights to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from CDG to MNL take around 14 hours 30 minutes, including the layover, and bring you to Terminal 3 in Manila.

Upon your arrival in Manila

To get to the city centre from the airport, we recommend taking a taxi as it will get you there in approximately 30 minutes. A variety of other public transportation options are also readily available from the airport and will get you to the major hotels or attractions in Manila. The UBE Express is another convenient option, with the shuttle departing from Terminal 3 at regular intervals.

A Brief introduction to Manila

Captivating historical attractions, rich culture, and must-try dining experiences await those who travel to the bustling metropolis of Manila.

We recommend starting your journey with a visit to the walled city of Intramuros, which is located right in the centre of Old Manila. While here, be sure to explore and learn about the history of the 16th century San Agustin Church, Manila Cathedral, and Fort Santiago - a former citadel and military prison.

Art enthusiasts will appreciate the many galleries dotted throughout the Philippines capital, with some of the most notable being the National Art Gallery, Ysobel Art Gallery, and Ateneo Art Gallery.

The city also boasts the oldest Chinatown in the world, making it one of the go-to destinations to sample a wide variety of culinary delights. Be sure to sample local delicacies like Asado pork and ‘kare-kare’ (oxtail stew in peanut sauce), which is infused with Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences. We also recommend dining at one of the many restaurants along the palm-lined promenade of Manila Bay as they are the ideal location for a tantalising seafood dinner and offer picturesque views of the gorgeous Manila sunset.

At night, Manila becomes a nightlife hub as many of the bars and clubs, especially those in the districts of Makati City and Manila City, remain open until the early hours of the morning.

For a day of family fun, pay a visit to Manila Ocean Park, where you can marvel at an exotic array of ocean creatures, including sharks and stingrays, from the bi-level viewing facilities.
