This corridor carries a demand score of 2/10 in our route file and is flagged as a leisure, VFR and business corridor. Loong Air. 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 Hangzhou connects the Philippine capital directly with a major city of eastern China, with around 3 flights a week. The route carries business travellers, traders and tourists, and passengers connecting onward across the region. Block time is about three and a half hours.

Airlines on this route

1 carrier — Loong Air — is catalogued nonstop on MNL–HGH, filing about 3 one-way departures a week. ₱8,392 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02. 2 out of 10 is the demand score this site assigns the corridor editorially.

A single nonstop operator changes the arithmetic in two directions. On price, there is no competitive floor on the nonstop: the cheapest seats open and close on Loong Air’s own inventory cycle, so the usual advice to wait for a fare war does not apply — connecting itineraries on other carriers are the only real competition, and they cost you hours. On disruption, a cancellation has nowhere obvious to go. With one operator there is no same-day sister flight unless the frequency itself is high, and rebooking onto a competitor requires an interline or alliance link. If your dates are fixed — a reporting date, a contract start, a family event — the risk-managed choice on this pair is an earlier departure with a day of slack behind it, not the cheapest one closest to the deadline.

Loong Air operates Manila to Hangzhou, flying the route as a low-cost service with a lean base fare to which baggage and extras are added. With a single carrier and a few flights a week, the schedule is the main thing to plan dates around.

PHP fares

₱8,392 is the cheapest MNL–HGH one-way in this site’s fare cache. It is a cache floor for one date and fare class, not a held quote. 3 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 1 carrier on file.

That ₱8,392 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–HGH at the moment it was polled, for one specific departure date, in one specific fare class. Nothing about it is averaged, none of it is a return fare, and no one is holding it: the seats at that price are usually few and can sell while you are still comparing. 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.

Fares are quoted in PHP and move with demand. Prices climb around Chinese New Year, the Chinese summer holidays and the December period — for those dates, booking two to three months ahead is sensible. For quieter weeks, four to six weeks of lead time usually secures a low fare.

About Hangzhou

1 arrival airport serves this route: Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH), at Hangzhou, China. 3 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 1 carrier on file. ₱8,392 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.

On arrival you are landing at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, ICAO ZSHC, serving Hangzhou, China. Worth checking before you compare two prices: the code is an airport, not a city. 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.

Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang province in eastern China, a historic city famous for West Lake, its gardens and its tea culture, and a growing technology centre. For travellers from Manila it is a business and tourist destination in eastern China.

When the cheapest MNL–HGH fare is not the nonstop

9.0 hours is the elapsed time on the cheapest cached MNL–HGH itinerary, against a scheduled nonstop block of 3.5 hours. The cheapest price on this pair belongs to a connecting itinerary, not to the nonstop. 3 one-way departures a week are catalogued on the pair across 1 carrier on file.

This is the trap the word direct sets. A nonstop MNL–HGH is catalogued at 3.5 hours of block time, but the lowest fare in our cache carries an elapsed time of 9.0 hours — the difference is a connection, and on a gap that size, quite possibly an overnight one. In airline language direct only promises that the flight number does not change; it can still touch down somewhere, and a through fare built on two flight numbers is not direct at all. Before you take the cheaper number, price the layover: a night you have to sleep somewhere, a transit visa you may need for the intermediate country, a second security screening, and the risk that a delay on leg one turns leg two into a rebooking. Sometimes the saving is still worth it. Decide that on purpose, not by sorting on price alone.

FAQ

6 questions below are answered from our own corridor, carrier and fare records for MNL–HGH. Where a number is a cache floor it is described as one, and where a rule does not hold universally the gaps are spelled out.

Delays and cancellations: what actually applies on MNL–HGH

2 rulebooks cover MNL–HGH 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. China 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–HGH. Read that as a statement about our source list, not as a finding that China has no rules of its own: states routinely regulate departures from their own airports, and the civil aviation authority of China 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. Be clear on its limits: it sets service standards and refund duties, not a fixed cash scale, so a EU261-style flat payment is not what you are claiming.

What is the cheapest Manila to Hangzhou fare on record here? ₱8,392 one-way — the lowest price the fare feed returned for MNL–HGH when this route was last polled on 2026-08-02. That is the minimum of one record for one route, not of the whole cache: a floor for a single date and fare class, not a held quote, and it excludes checked baggage where the carrier sells it separately.

Can I claim delay compensation on MNL–HGH? Not under any scheme this site sources. The fallback is the carrier’s conditions of carriage plus Montreal Convention 1999 liability limits, and China’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.
