EXPIRED: London from Auckland for $1202 NZD

Great fare to London from Auckland return for $1,202 NZD ($1,144 AUD) flying Philippine Airlines between July to November 2017.

Flights leave Auckland to Manila 4 times weekly at 7.15pm with a stop in Cairns for a hour before arrival into Manila at 3.30am (A320). Unfortunately there is a 8hr layover in Manila before your board your flight to London Heathrow (A343), with a final arrival time of 7.35pm.

The return leg is much better with flights departing London at 10pm and arrival into Manila at 7.45pm with a 3hr layover before arriving into Auckland at 3.15pm (again with a 1 hour stop on Cairns).

Transiting in Manila is not a nice experience. So I would recommend (especially with a 8hr layover on the way there) you stretch your legs and leave the airport and head to the mall of asia which is 1 hour away by taxi. Australia and NZ nationals get a free 30 day tourist visa if you wish to enter the Philippines.
