Cents per mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

Small things travellers like to know about Manila.
- Manila traffic is heavy and unpredictable — budget generous buffers, especially to and from NAIA, and favour ride-hailing (Grab) over street taxis.
- NAIA has four terminals that aren’t walkable to each other; check your terminal before travel and allow time for inter-terminal transfers.
- Carry small peso notes for jeepneys, tricycles, and market stalls; cards and e-wallets (GCash) are common in malls but not on the street.
- If you’re connecting to an island (Palawan, Cebu, Caticlan for Boracay), leave a long buffer between the international arrival and the domestic departure.
