Those one-stop trips took between 20 hours 50 minutes and 33 hours 40 minutes, so weigh the time against the fare.

Philippine Airlines operates at LAX from the Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B) and sells nonstop service to Manila. The one-stop fares in our check were on Air China, China Southern and Asiana, and their journey times differed by almost 13 hours depending on the layover. Delta has also announced its own nonstop from LAX to Manila starting 28 Mar 2027, three times a week at first.
The Philippines requires arriving passengers to register on eTravel. Registration opens 72 hours before you land, and you need proof of it before boarding. It is free and only available on etravel.gov.ph; the official site warns about look-alike sites that charge a fee.
US citizens can stay in the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days on a first entry. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay, and you need a return or onward ticket.
Asiana's economy allowance on US routes is two checked bags of up to 23kg each, plus one carry-on of up to 10kg and a small personal item. Allowances differ by airline and ticket, so on a one-stop trip ask our advisors which allowance applies to your whole journey before you book.
Manila's airport has three passenger terminals. The airport authority's list as of 10 Mar 2026 shows Asiana at Terminal 1, China Southern at Terminal 3, and Philippine Airlines at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Check the terminal on your ticket before arranging a pickup. The terminal operator lists taxis, ride-hailing, airport buses and shuttles for getting into Metro Manila.
