  • What airports serve South Africa to the Philippines flights?

    Travellers can fly from South Africa to the Philippines at the O.R. Tambo International Airport, which is located in Johannesburg about 20 minutes outside of the city. If you are leaving from a different part of South Africa, you can also find flights to Manila at the Cape Town International Airport, which is just 20 km from downtown Cape Town. Both South African airports have taxi and public transit service available.

  • Which airlines fly directly from South Africa to the Philippines?

    Unfortunately, there are no nonstop flights between South Africa and the Philippines. Instead, there are multiple single-stop flights available from both Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Typically, flights include one stopover which extends travel time to anywhere between 17-23 hours.

  • What are the stopover options on flights from South Africa to the Philippines?

    Etihad has a 20-hour flight from the O.R. Tambo International Airport to Manila with a single stop in Abu Dhabi.

  • Do I need a passport or visa to fly from South Africa to the Philippines?
