Philippine Airlines Business Class: NY Return from $5,135 (BNE) / $5,219 (SYD) / $5,394 (MEL)

No end dateNo end date in the post — check with the merchant

Philippine Airlines business class to New York (one stop in Manila each way), checked bags included. Lowest return fare is $5,135 from Brisbane, with Sydney from $5,219 and Melbourne from $5,394, for travel between Feb and Jul 2027. Usual market price for the same route sits around $9,000–$12,000, so these fares save roughly $3,900+. Catches: some return dates have a 17 hr 50 min layover in Manila (total door-to-door over 42 hrs); not every date hits the low fare; tickets may be non-refundable, so check change/cancel rules before paying. Perth and Adelaide departures are much dearer.

Something wrong?

Quick take

Good for
  • Travellers who need business class to/from New York (visiting family, business)
  • Those willing to trade long layovers for a large saving
  • People with flexible 2027 plans
Not for
  • Anyone needing refundable or flexible tickets
  • Travellers who cannot tolerate a 17+ hr airport wait
  • Those who only need economy class
Why it's worth a look
  • Saves $3,900+ versus usual market price
  • Checked bags included
  • Seat product, lounges, and meals match a $9,000+ ticket
Watch out
  • Very long Manila layover on cheaper dates (up to 17 hr 50 min)
  • Possible non-refundable fare conditions
  • Low price only on select date ranges
