How to get the best deal on a Kota Kinabalu — Manila ticket

  • Book your tickets at least 4–6 weeks before departure, as the route is served by the low-cost carrier Z2, whose fares tend to rise closer to the flight date.
  • Use the low-price calendar on this page to compare adjacent dates — sometimes shifting your departure by 1–2 days can save you AED 93.
  • Pay attention to the baggage allowance of Z2: the minimum fare often only includes carry-on luggage, and paying for a suitcase online is significantly cheaper than at the airport.
  • Keep in mind that with flights scheduled 3 times a week, demand is higher for weekends, so mid-week departures are usually more cost-effective.
