Flying between the UAE and the Philippines is about to come with more options. Whether you’re heading home, traveling for work, or planning a long-overdue trip, Emirates Airline has announced an update that’s worth knowing about in 2026. Starting April 2, it will add four new weekly flights from Dubai to Manila.

When booking a trip, travelers will be able to choose from 34 weekly flights between the UAE and the Philippines. According to Emirates, the additional flights will provide shorter connections to and from North American destinations and also align with late-morning European departures.

Here’s the schedule of additional Emirates’ flights between the UAE and the Philippines:

  • EK330 departs Dubai (DXB) at 12:45 PM and arrives in Manila (MNL) at 1:25 AM the following day
  • EK331 departs MNL at 3:25 AM and arrives in DXB at 8:25 AM

The flights will be operated using a Boeing 777-300ER, offering First Class private suites, Business Class seating, and an Economy cabin. If you want a bit more comfort without paying huge prices, Emirates also offers Premium Economy on many destinations. You can check the details and see which routes already have it available.

With a strong focus on passenger experience, it’s no surprise that the airline has been getting attention worldwide. Emirates Airline recently ranked among the world’s top five safest airlines and was also named Best World’s Airline in 2025.
