7 one-way departures a week are catalogued on MNL–FUK, flown by Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific, with a scheduled block of 4.0 hours. The cheapest one-way in our cache is ₱17,909. 7 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 2 carriers on file.

This corridor carries a demand score of 6/10 in our route file and is flagged as a leisure, VFR and business corridor. Read that number for what it is: an editorial 1-10 ranking of estimated Filipino-language search interest, built for prioritising which pages we research first. It is not a passenger count, not a load factor, and not a quality signal about the airlines involved. High-scoring corridors are the ones where seats on the cheapest fare classes disappear first and where the gap between an early booking and a two-week-out booking is widest; low-scoring corridors tend to hold their price longer but give you fewer departures to choose from if a plan slips.

Manila to Fukuoka connects the Philippine capital directly with the main city of southern Japan, with around 7 flights a week, one a day. The route carries leisure travellers in both directions — Japanese visitors heading for the Philippines and Filipino holidaymakers bound for Kyushu. Block time is about four hours.

Airlines on this route

2 carriers — Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific — are catalogued nonstop on MNL–FUK, filing about 7 one-way departures a week. Base economy checked baggage runs 0–23 kg across them. ₱17,909 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.

What each operator brings to this pair, from our carrier file:

• Philippine Airlines (PR) — alliance none (ex-oneworld observer); hubs MNL/CEB; 23 kg economy checked; +10 kg OFW uplift; PH brand strength 10/10.
• Cebu Pacific (5J) — no global alliance; hubs MNL/CEB/CRK/DVO/ILO; 0 kg economy checked; PH brand strength 10/10. Cebu Pacific sit outside a global alliance, which matters at exactly one moment: a disruption. An alliance partner can usually be rebooked onto without a new ticket, an unaligned carrier needs an interline agreement to do the same thing, and if neither exists you are buying a fresh seat at walk-up price.

Two carriers fly Manila to Fukuoka: Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. Philippine Airlines is full-service with a checked allowance included; Cebu Pacific flies it low-cost, with a lean base fare to which baggage is added. The pairing gives a clear choice between a full and a budget ticket.

PHP fares

₱17,909 is the cheapest MNL–FUK one-way in this site’s fare cache, on Cebu Pacific. It is a cache floor for one date and fare class, not a held quote. 7 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 2 carriers on file.

We take one reading a week and keep it. Over 7 of them the low was ₱14,814 in 2026-W19 and the high ₱23,492 — a 1.6× swing on an unchanged route, which is the single most useful thing this series says. Week to week the last move was down ₱1,151 (6%) from 2026-W29 to 2026-W31. Method, so you can discount it properly: each point is the cheapest one-way the feed could see in that ISO week, not a booked price and not an average of the market, and a week where the poll caught a promotional seat reads lower than the week either side of it. The band is the signal; individual weeks are noise. A fare inside the lower third of that band is a good one on this pair; a fare above the top of it is worth re-checking a week later before you commit.

Fares are quoted in PHP and move with the Japanese travel calendar. The cherry-blossom spring, the summer holidays and the year-end are the busiest and most expensive — for those dates, booking two to three months ahead is sensible. For quieter weeks, four to six weeks usually secures a reasonable economy fare.

About Fukuoka

1 arrival airport serves this route: Fukuoka Airport (FUK), at Fukuoka, Japan. Local currency is JPY. 7 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 2 carriers on file. ₱17,909 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.

On arrival you are landing at Fukuoka Airport, ICAO RJFF, serving Fukuoka, Japan. Kyushu gateway. Across the whole Philippine market, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific are the carriers our destination file records as serving Fukuoka from home — a wider set than the ones flying this particular pair, which is why a Manila routing sometimes opens options Manila does not have. One habit worth forming on any arrival: read the airport, not the city name. Multi-airport cities are common, the discount is usually attached to the inconvenient field, and the ground leg quietly reclaims both the money and the hour. Check which airport your fare actually lands at before you compare two prices, and if you are connecting onward from a different airport in the same city, treat that as a separate journey with its own buffer — no airline protects a connection that involves a taxi.

Fukuoka is the largest city on the Japanese island of Kyushu, a port city known for its food culture, its relaxed pace and its position as a gateway to the hot springs and volcanoes of southern Japan. For travellers from Manila it is a leisure destination with an easy, direct connection.

The cheapest MNL–FUK fare we have on file

₱17,909 is the lowest one-way the Travelpayouts feed returned for MNL–FUK when this route was last polled on 2026-08-02, on Cebu Pacific, nonstop, for a August 2026 departure. The cached itinerary runs 7.8 hours end to end.

That ₱17,909 is a cache reading, not a quote, and the difference is worth stating plainly. It is the lowest one-way price the fare feed returned for MNL–FUK at the moment it was polled, for one specific departure date, in one specific fare class. It averages nothing, covers one direction only, and is not reserved — that price normally sits on a small block of seats that can disappear mid-search. Three things it also excludes: checked baggage where the carrier sells a bags-free base fare, seat selection, and any change or refund flexibility. Treat it as the floor of the range you should expect to see, then compare the all-in total once the bag you actually need is added back.

Checked baggage and the OFW uplift on MNL–FUK

10 kg is the largest OFW uplift on this route, carried by Philippine Airlines on top of a 23 kg economy base — 33 kg in total for a qualifying passenger. 7 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 2 carriers on file.

Checked allowance on this pair, from our carrier file:

• Philippine Airlines — 23 kg economy base, +10 kg under Overseas Filipino Bayani Program (extra baggage 10kg + handling) = 33 kg for a qualifying worker.
• Cebu Pacific — 0 kg economy base, no OFW uplift recorded in our carrier file.

The uplift is the part people get wrong, so here is where it does not reach. It is granted to a person under a programme, not written into a fare class, and the desk issues it against paperwork — an OEC or OFW Pass and, usually, the employment contract. Book a bags-free base fare on a low-cost carrier and there is no base allowance for the uplift to sit on top of. Book the domestic feeder as a separate ticket and the uplift does not follow the bag onto it. Fly a segment operated by a partner airline under a codeshare and the operating carrier’s own rules apply, not the one whose code is on your ticket. And the allowance is per passenger, not per booking — you cannot pool it across a family unless the airline’s own pooling rule says so. Verify the number at booking; excess bought at the airport is priced per kilo and is the most expensive kilo you will ever buy.

Delays and cancellations: what actually applies on MNL–FUK

2 rulebooks cover MNL–FUK from the Philippine side: the Civil Aeronautics Board’s Air Passenger Bill of Rights, which governs the departure from a Philippine airport, and the Montreal Convention 1999, which caps liability for delay and baggage. Japan may operate its own scheme for departures from its airports; this page does not track it.

None of the statutory compensation schemes this site sources — EU261, UK261, the Saudi GACA regulation, Canada’s APPR and the US DOT consumer rules — reaches MNL–FUK. Read that as a statement about our source list, not as a finding that Japan has no rules of its own: states routinely regulate departures from their own airports, and the civil aviation authority of Japan is the body to check before you conclude that nothing applies. What definitely does apply in both directions is the Montreal Convention 1999, which caps a carrier’s liability for delay and for baggage that is damaged, delayed or lost. Montreal reimburses proven loss up to a cap; it pays no fixed sum for the inconvenience itself, so keep receipts rather than counting hours.

On the Manila end, a flight departing a Philippine airport is covered by the Air Passenger Bill of Rights administered by the Civil Aeronautics Board, which obliges the carrier to offer rebooking or a refund and to provide amenities as a delay lengthens. It is a service and refund standard rather than a compensation tariff, so the outcome is rebooking, a refund and amenities rather than a set payment.

Entry rules for a Philippine passport in Japan

1 rule governs entry here for a Philippine passport: Tourist visa required (waiver in negotiation but not active as of May 2026), at Free (consular fee waived), for a maximum stay of 15 days (tourist), 30 days (visiting relatives). Verified 2026-05-18.

• Japan — Tourist visa required (waiver in negotiation but not active as of May 2026); fee Free (consular fee waived); max stay 15 days (tourist), 30 days (visiting relatives). Apply via accredited travel agency in PH (NOT directly at consulate). Allow 7 working days processing. Official source

Two things this table does not cover, and they are the ones that strand people. A visa grants permission to apply for entry — the officer at the border still decides, and a return or onward ticket plus proof of funds is what that decision usually turns on. And a visa for your destination says nothing about the countries you transit: several major hubs require their own transit visa or a same-terminal, same-ticket connection to be exempt, and the exemption is lost the moment you have to collect a bag and check in again. Visa rules change frequently. Use this as a starting reference only; verify with the destination’s embassy or official immigration portal before booking. For OFW employment visas, follow the DMW deployment process — that is separate from tourist/visit visas.

Can I claim delay compensation on MNL–FUK? Not under any scheme this site sources. The fallback is the carrier’s conditions of carriage plus Montreal Convention 1999 liability limits, and Japan’s own civil aviation authority is worth checking for departures from its airports. Separately, a departure from a Philippine airport is covered by the Civil Aeronautics Board’s Air Passenger Bill of Rights, which mandates rebooking, refunds and amenities but sets no fixed cash scale.
