How to get from Astana to Manila: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Astana and Manila — the Philippines are not among the direct destinations from the Kazakh capital.

The best option is a single connection at an Asian hub. Via Guangzhou you spend about 9 hours 25 minutes in the air, via Beijing about 9 hours 55 minutes, via Da Nang about 10 hours and via Seoul about 10 hours 50 minutes. Routings via Dubai and Istanbul are noticeably longer but can be cheaper.

When comparing options, look at the layover length, the transfer terminal and the baggage rules as well as the price: with tickets on separate carriers you may need to collect and re-check your bags. Be sure to check whether a transit visa is required in the connecting country — this matters especially for stopovers in mainland China.
