Hello All,

Are there any airlines that you know of that have non-stop flights from Manila to anywhere on the East Coast? Or even one stop in China, Korea, etc and then onward to the East Coast?

Also, say you are flying to Dulles, Washngton DC, but a flight flies from Manila to Las Angeles and then another flight to Dulles? Can you wait to clear immigration/customs until your final destination versus Las Angeles in this example?

I didn't even see a non-stop flight into Las Vegas and I know I have read some Vjers who cleared immigrations in Las Vegas...

Thanks

The first time you step foot on US soil, you clear immigrations/customs. Therefore, if you fly into Los Angeles, with a connecting flight to Washington, your Point of Entry is Los Angeles, and you cannot delay it until Washington.

To answer your 1st question.. There are no non stop flights from the East Coast to Manila. If your in the East Coast, depending on the Airline, Your stops are either Japan, South Korea, or Taipei.

If you want non stop flights.. You have to fly to Vancouver, Las Vegas or LAX to get Philippine Airlines non stop flights to the Philippines.

Korea airlines flys from Manila to Korea. From Korea, they have a non stop flight to Dulles in washington dc and also New York (JFK)

Take care

the flight on PAL from Manila to Las Vegas is listed as a non stop. they stop in vancouver for fueling only. my understanding is they dont take on new passengers there. they just pull everyone off for the fueling and then put them back on.

i think Cathy Pacific might have a non stop as well. Manila to Los angeles.

Thanks all for your responses. For those of you and/or your fiancees who have went through Vancouver, were there any issues at the airport and do you recommend the route?

Try putting the search into Orbitz.com and that will find any flights with just on stop in Japan or Korea then on to Kennedy or Dulles.

Thanks What I use and that's the Airline my asawa will fly when coming here in the next two month.

For me... Who ever has the best deal.. But my target airlines are Cathay and Korean..

These are the nonstop or (kind of) non stops that I know of.

Phillipines Airlines Daily
LA to Manila (makes fuel stop in Guam on the west bound flight) no fuel stop on return flight(Because of prevailing jet stream over the Pacific)
SF to Manila (same fuel stop in Guam)
Las Vegas to Manila - Stops in Vancouver but you do not leave plane but some boarding.

Northwest Airlines daily
Minneapolis to Manila -- Fuel stop in tokyo
Detroit to manila --- Fuel stop in Tokyo

korean airlines= manila-seoul-jfk

also try asiana airlines- manila-seoul-jfk the flight from seoul to nyc is 13 1/2 hours from manila to seoul is about 6??? you will clear customs in nyc . both airlines are great, I prefer asiana, the food is better lol

you can get pal from manila to sfo, then take delta to nyc u will clear customs in sfo good poe experience gud luck

The OP is asking for a EAST COAST NON STOP FLIGHTS to/from Manila..

Which there isn't...

I live in Charlotte North Carolina....about 4 hours drive to east coast. When I travel to the Philippines, it's USAIR non-stop to Los Angeles or San Francisco, then Philippine Airlines non-stop to Manila. That's about as close as it gets to a direct flight.

I am not aware of any non-stop flights from Manila to the US. Most stop in Japan or Korea.

true, but he did comment he didnt even see a non stop to vegas. most are answering his comment on that. not the comment on east coast destination.
