How to Get the Best Airfare from Toronto to Manila

Monday, April 21, 2025

Booking a flight from Toronto to Manila isn’t just about choosing a date and clicking “Buy.” For many of us, it’s a trip home, a family reunion, or a big expense we’ve been saving up for.

So, how do you make sure you’re getting the best possible price for your ticket? At Reliable Travel and Tours, we help Filipino travelers in Toronto save money and avoid stress when booking their flights to the Philippines. Here’s how we do it.

1. Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates

This is one of the biggest secrets to finding lower airfare. Ticket prices can change a lot depending on:

  • The day of the week

  • The time of year

  • How far ahead you book

If you’re willing to leave a day earlier or later, we can help you check several options and find the best value. Even shifting your travel by one or two days can sometimes save you hundreds of dollars.

2. Ask Us to Search All Routes, Not Just One Airline

As a travel agency, we use a tool called a Global Distribution System (GDS) (We use Travelport Galileo GDS). This lets us check multiple airlines and connections at once, including those with layovers that may not show up on regular websites.

We look at:

  • Major airlines and alternative carriers

  • Stopover options that cost less

  • Departure and arrival time combinations

This is especially helpful when you’re booking for family or a group. Sometimes, flying into Clark instead of Manila - or choosing an airline with a longer layover - can drop the price significantly.

3. Book Early, But Let’s Check Together

We’ve seen some of the lowest fares for flights to the Philippines come up about 6 months in advance. But airline calendars for return flights can vary. Sometimes, you can already book return flights up to 10 months ahead - other times, certain dates won’t appear until later.

That’s why we always tell our clients - if you’re unsure about your departure or return dates, call us first. We’ll check flight availability together using our live GDS system and look at all options in real-time.

This way, we can:

  • Help you find the cheapest available dates

  • See if your return date is already open on the airline’s calendar

  • Suggest alternative routes or timelines if needed

Booking early can save you money, but doing it with the right information saves you from problems later. We’re here to help you do both.

4. Avoid Booking During Peak Seasons

If you want to avoid sky-high prices, try not to fly during:

  • Holy Week

  • Summer break (June to mid-July is high season, August is shoulder season)

  • Christmas and New Year holidays

These are the busiest times for flights to Manila. Airlines know this, and ticket prices often increase considerably. If you can fly just before or after these dates, we can help you save a lot.

5. Work With Someone Who Understands Filipino Travel Needs

We’re not just a travel agency - we’re part of the community. We understand what you’re looking for:

  • Affordable fares for the whole family

  • Flights with enough baggage allowance for pasalubong

  • Routes that won’t leave Nanay or Lolo too tired

At Anette's Reliable Travel and Tours, we treat your trip like it’s our own.

✈️ Let Us Help You Find the Best Deal

We don’t issue tickets ourselves - we work with a trusted consolidator and follow GDS rates - but we do everything we can to find you the best options.

If you’re ready to book, or just want us to help you check your options, reach out. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
