Manchester Airport (MAN) is the third busiest airport in the UK. It serves international destinations worldwide and has excellent local transport connections with Manchester and further afield. Manchester Airport has regular connections with Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in the Philippines.

There is a train and bus connection to the airport from central Manila, and you can take official taxis from the airport arrivals area. The airport is also served by local jeepney routes.

UK citizens can enter the Philippines without a visa for up to 30 days. If you plan to stay longer, you can apply for a tourist visa from the Philippines Embassy before you travel. This will allow you to stay for up to 59 days. You can then extend this, when in the Philippines, at the Bureau of Immigration. You will need a valid passport that extends beyond your planned date of return. When you arrive, you will likely be asked to provide evidence of a return flight or a ticket to another destination outside the Philippines. The immigration authorities take the overstaying of visas very seriously and act on infringements.
