Why You Should Book December Flights to the Philippines Almost a Year in Advance

Why You Should Book December Flights to the Philippines Almost a Year in Advance

Don't get shocked by holiday airfare prices - discover the smart way to book flights early and save big for your trip home to the Philippines.

If you're planning to visit the Philippines this coming December or on future December months, here’s something you need to know: airfare in December is almost always expensive - and it gets worse the longer you wait.

At our Filipino travel agency, we’ve seen many people surprised by the high prices when they inquire just two or three months before.

Some even ask in May or June (6 to 7 months ahead), hoping to book for December, only to be surprised and find that while seats are still available, the cheaper ones are long gone - leaving only the more expensive fares.

Anette Soriano of Reliable Travel and Tours, who’s been helping travelers for years, always gives this tip:


If you’re flying in December, buy your ticket at least 10 months in advance - or as soon as your return flight becomes available in our GDS system (usually 11 to 12 months ahead).

Why so early?
Because flights during the holiday season - especially in December - going to the Philippines is very popular with balikbayans, Filipino expats, OFWs. Seats fill up fast. Airlines know this, and prices go up quickly.

The earlier you book, the better your chances of:

Getting a good price

Choosing your preferred dates

Avoiding the stress of last-minute planning
