Month-by-month price guide for Manila to Hanoi flights
💡 Pro tip: The cheapest months are June, July, and January — often ₱5,000–₱8,000 roundtrip without any seat sale. Avoid Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year, early-to-mid February) and December 20–January 5 at all costs — those are the two most expensive windows of the year, and Tet's exact dates shift with the lunar calendar so always double-check the current year before booking a February trip.
📅 Hanoi events & fare surges
MNL → Hanoi fares spike hard around these dates — book early or avoid entirely
🧧 Tet Nguyen Dan (Lunar New Year)
Feb 6, 2027 — holiday period roughly Feb 3–11
+100%
avg fare surge
Vietnam's biggest holiday of the year and the single largest fare event on this route. Businesses close for days, hotel rates spike, and Vietnamese communities abroad book out flights home weeks in advance. Normal ₱6,500 fares surge to ₱14,000–₱16,000 roundtrip. Tet follows the lunar calendar so the date shifts every year — always check the current year's dates before booking a February trip.
💡 Book by November for Tet-window travel — or shift a week earlier/later where fares reset fast on either side of the holiday.
🎄 Christmas & New Year
December 20 – January 5
+80%
avg fare surge
Hanoi's French Quarter goes all-in on Christmas — St. Joseph's Cathedral lit up, decorated cafés, a genuinely festive Old Quarter. Filipino travellers heading out for the holidays overlap with regional Christmas tourism demand. Fares routinely hit ₱9,500–₱17,000 roundtrip. Book before October for December travel, or wait for January's post-holiday lull.
💡 January 6–20 is the quiet window — fares reset and Hanoi is still atmospheric with none of the holiday premium.
🍂 Autumn Peak Season
Late September through November
+35%
avg fare surge
Hanoi's most-loved weather window — cool, dry, and golden — is also when Halong Bay cruise conditions are best and international tourism peaks. It's not the sharp spike Tet is, but demand from regional and Western tourists steadily lifts fares and hotel rates through the season.
💡 Book 6–8 weeks out for October–November travel — the best-value guesthouses and Halong Bay boats sell out before flights do.
🇻🇳 Vietnam National Day
September 2 (long weekend effect)
+30%
avg fare surge
Vietnam's National Day creates a domestic long-weekend travel surge that also lifts inbound demand and hotel rates in Hanoi, since many Vietnamese use the holiday to travel themselves, tightening availability across the board for a few days on either side.
💡 Fly a few days before or after September 2 rather than on the exact weekend — fares and hotel rates both ease quickly once the holiday passes.
🇵🇭 Filipino Teacher Contract Season
April–May and end of Vietnamese school year (May–June)
Unlike MNL–Dubai or MNL–Riyadh, this route doesn't see a huge OFW Christmas exodus. Vietnam's ~3,000 Filipino teachers are mostly on renewable contracts tied to the Vietnamese school calendar, not fixed-term labour contracts — so the mild demand bump clusters around contract renewal season and school-year breaks instead of December.
💡 If you're visiting a teacher friend or relative, April–May and late May–June are when they're most likely to have time off to host you.
📊 How to read this: Surge percentages are averages vs the same route in a non-event week. A +100% surge on a ₱6,500 base fare means ₱13,000. Tet is the single most extreme fare event on this route — bigger than anything tied to a Philippine holiday. The single best thing you can do: subscribe for alerts and check the current year's Tet dates before booking any February trip.

Is Hanoi cheaper than Bangkok? Yes, on both food and lodging. A bowl of pho in Hanoi runs ₫25,000–50,000 (~₱59–117) versus ₱90–140 for an equivalent Bangkok street dish. Old Quarter guesthouses start lower than their Bangkok equivalents too. If you're stacking a Southeast Asia trip and trying to stretch a piso fare budget as far as possible, Hanoi consistently edges out Bangkok and comfortably beats Singapore, where the same ₱500 barely covers one hawker meal.
🇵🇭 Filipino traveller intel — Hanoi edition
Things a Skyscanner page would never tell you
Starting July 1, 2026, Vietnam requires a Health Declaration from every arriving traveller — visa-exempt Filipinos included. This is brand new and separate from the 21-day visa exemption, so a lot of Filipino travel groups are still catching up on it. Complete it online within 7 days before you fly, ideally at home in Manila on stable WiFi rather than at the boarding gate. It's free through the official portal — don't pay a third-party site for something the government gives you for nothing.
A fourth airline just entered this route — AirAsia Philippines launched MNL–Hanoi in March 2026. For years this was really a three-carrier route split between Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and Vietnam Airlines. More competition on a short-haul route usually means more frequent seat sales as each airline fights for share. Compare all four before booking instead of defaulting to whichever airline you flew last time — the cheapest carrier on this route has already shifted more than once since AirAsia arrived.
Tet, not a Philippine holiday, is what actually wrecks fares on this route. Unlike MNL–Bangkok, where Songkran collides directly with Philippine Holy Week for a double squeeze, Vietnamese Lunar New Year (Tet) usually falls in a different window than Holy Week entirely — so a Filipino booking around Holy Week on this specific route isn't automatically fighting a second, unrelated surge. But Tet's dates shift every year with the lunar calendar, so check the current year's dates specifically before assuming a February trip is safe.
Cebu Pacific and AirAsia's advertised base fares don't include checked baggage — factor it in before you compare. A ₱5,000 Cebu Pacific fare can land closer to ₱6,500–₱7,000 all-in once you add a 20kg bag each way for the pasalubong you'll inevitably bring home. Philippine Airlines and Vietnam Airlines fares often include one checked bag, so the "cheaper" budget fare isn't always cheaper once bags are factored in — do the full math, not just the sticker price.
The cheapest MNL–Hanoi seats disappear within hours of a seat sale announcement. With four airlines now competing for this route, sales have been getting more frequent, but the best seats — including AirAsia's ₱888 introductory fares — went fast. piso-fare.com monitors this route 24/7 and sends email alerts within minutes of a fare drop, across all four carriers, so you're not relying on a Facebook screenshot the next morning after the good seats are gone.

No. Philippine passport holders can visit Vietnam visa-free for up to 21 days for tourism. You do not need to apply for a visa before travelling if your stay is that short. Bring a passport valid at least 6 months with 2 blank pages, and ideally a return ticket and proof of accommodation. Starting July 1, 2026, you must also complete Vietnam's new online Health Declaration within 7 days before travel — it's free and separate from the visa exemption.
Direct flights from Manila (MNL) to Hanoi take approximately 3 hours 25–40 minutes. Hanoi has one international airport, Noi Bai International (HAN), served by Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, and — since March 2026 — Philippines AirAsia. Unlike Bangkok or Manila, you don't need to worry about which airport your flight lands at.
June and July are consistently the cheapest months — Hanoi's hot, humid season keeps regional tourist demand low and fares drop to ₱5,000–₱8,000 roundtrip even without a seat sale. January, before the Tet run-up, is another reliable low window. The worst months are the Tet holiday period (early-to-mid February, dates shift yearly with the lunar calendar) and late December (Christmas). Book by November for Tet-window travel, or by October for December trips.
For base fares, Cebu Pacific and Philippines AirAsia are usually cheapest. But always check the all-in price — budget airline advertised fares don't include checked baggage (₱1,000–₱1,800 each way) or seat selection. A ₱5,000 Cebu Pacific base fare with a 20kg bag can end up costing about the same as a Philippine Airlines or Vietnam Airlines fare that includes luggage. Compare all four airlines' all-in prices, not just the sticker fare.
A piso fare is a promotional fare — popularised by Cebu Pacific — where base fares drop to ₱1. On the MNL–Hanoi route, piso fare and introductory sales (including AirAsia's ₱888 launch fares) have pushed all-in roundtrip prices below ₱3,500–₱4,000. These sales typically last 24–72 hours with very limited seat availability. Subscribe to piso-fare.com alerts to be notified within minutes of a fare drop — don't rely on seeing it on social media the next morning, by which point the best seats are gone.
No. Unlike Bangkok's two-airport split (Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang), Hanoi has a single international airport — Noi Bai International (HAN) — used by all four airlines flying this route. It's about 25–30km from the Old Quarter; budget 35–60 minutes by taxi or Grab, or take the cheaper Bus 86 Express (₫45,000, ~₱106) if you're not in a rush.
