Emirates Boosts Dubai–Manila Flights With Four More Weekly Services Starting April

Dubai–Manila travel is getting easier. Emirates is adding four more weekly flights between Dubai and Manila starting April 2, giving passengers more choices and smoother connections—especially if they’re flying onward to North America or Europe.

Here’s what you need to know.

Four New Weekly Flights From April 2

The additional flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

  • EK330 departs Dubai at 12:45pm, arriving in Manila at 1:25am the next day

  • EK331 leaves Manila at 3:25am, landing in Dubai at 8:25am

All times are local.

With these new services, Emirates’ total flights to the Philippines will jump from 28 to 34 weekly flights.

Better Connections to the US, Canada, and Europe

The expanded schedule means shorter and more convenient connections to and from key destinations, including the United States and Canada, as well as late-morning European departures like London, Milan, Budapest, and Athens, all via Dubai.

That’s good news for long-haul travelers who hate tight layovers.

Boeing 777 Comfort on Every Flight

All flights will be operated using the Boeing 777-300ER, offering:

  • 8 private suites in First Class

  • 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class

  • 304 seats in Economy Class

Passengers also get Emirates’ full onboard experience, including regional meals and the ice entertainment system with over 6,500 on-demand options—plus content in Tagalog.

More Flights, More Cargo Capacity

These additional flights aren’t just about passengers. Each Boeing 777 can carry up to 20 tonnes of cargo, boosting trade flows between Dubai and Manila, and connecting markets in Europe, the US, and the Indian subcontinent.

Timely Expansion Amid UAE–Philippines Trade Deal

The move comes as the UAE and the Philippines recently signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (Cepa), with Emirates well placed to support growing travel, trade, and business ties between the two countries.

Tickets for the new flights are now available via the Emirates website, app, travel agents, and retail stores.
