It’s exciting times for Qantas customers wanting to travel Round the World with a stopover in the Philippines, as the airline flies their first direct flight from Brisbane.

The Route

Qantas has reinforced its commitment to the region by offering this convenient gateway to the vibrant Philippine capital. 

Travellers wanting to see more in one trip will now get additional options to Asia, and more specifically Manilla, with our Qantas RTW fare or a oneworld RTW fare.

The first flight departed from Brisbane on Monday evening and will continue to operate four times a week. Guests flying Round the World will be able to fly the route on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7.15pm. 

Now adding more than 100,000 seats between Australia and the Philippines each year, there is more capacity for Round the World passengers wanting to visit the tropical destination. Qantas already flies daily services to Manilla from Sydney, meaning this addition will just strengthen the airline’s presence in the market. 

Keep in mind that when flying home you may want to book an extra night in your hotel, as the Manilla to Brisbane flight departs at 2.45am and arrives at 12.20pm. 

Get in touch with an airfare specialist and add Manilla as a stopover on your next RTW trip. 

Qantas A330 Business Class for RTW Travellers

Onboard the A330 in Business Class, you can expect 27 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, each offering direct aisle access and converting to a fully flat bed.

When flying Round the World, why not travel in extra comfort on a Qantas RTW Business Class fare.

Passengers will enjoy an 80-inch flat bed on the night flight, allowing travellers to get some shut eye before the early morning arrival in Manilla. 

With USB charging and AC power outlets, Business Class travellers can enjoy entertainment from their own devices for longer! Or be impressed by the 16-inch seat back touchscreen on selected flights, where you can wirelessly stream inflight entertainment to your personal device.

In terms of storage, Business Class guests flying Round the World will find a seat back pocket, storage under the console and a cocktail table for extra space to work. Passengers will have more ease for dining with the extendable in-arm tray table.

From Qantas

Qantas CEO Cam Wallace has commented on the new route and the benefits for Round the World passengers.

“The Philippines is a very strong market for Qantas and we are pleased to be responding to demand for our services with new flights from Brisbane,” Wallace says.

“We know a lot of customers travel to Manila via Sydney, so this new direct flight will make it easier and faster for Queenslanders to get to the Philippines in a single hop.”
