If you’ve been putting off booking a trip to the Philippines because of the price tag, this one’s worth a look. Korean Air has a roundtrip fare from Dallas (DFW) to Manila for $919, including all taxes, according to a July 2 post from The Flight Deal. The sample dates the deal was spotted with run August 27 – September 3, though as with most fare-sale posts, that’s just one example itinerary — the same price window may open up on other dates too, so it’s worth checking a flexible date search before you assume it’s only good for that one week.
Why this one stands out
Long-haul international fares from Texas to Southeast Asia tend to carry a hefty price tag, so a sub-$1,000 roundtrip that already includes taxes is the kind of fare that’s easy to overlook until it’s gone. Deals like this typically move fast because airlines release only a limited number of seats at the sale price before it reverts to the regular fare.
Who this is best for
- Dallas-Fort Worth families with relatives in the Philippines. If a trip to see family in Manila has been on the calendar but the flight cost kept pushing it back, this fare window is a chance to lock in a ticket without waiting for a bigger sale.
- Flexible travelers who can plan around late August/early September. The sample dates line up with the tail end of summer, which can work well for anyone whose kids go back to school in the fall and wants to travel just before the semester ramps up.
- Value-conscious travelers open to a longer-haul international trip. If Manila has been on your list but the flight cost was the sticking point, this is the kind of fare that makes the trip pencil out.
A couple of caveats
- The $919 fare is tied to the sample dates shown in the original post — always confirm the price and taxes at checkout, since fare-sale pricing can shift by the day or sell out on specific dates.
- Roundtrip fares to Manila from Dallas on Korean Air will typically involve a connection, so budget extra time when comparing your options and double-check the full itinerary before booking.
- This is a fare alert, not a guaranteed price — book directly with the airline or a flight search site once you’ve confirmed your dates.
Bottom line
If a Manila trip has been sitting on your travel wish list, this is the kind of fare worth acting on quickly rather than waiting to see if it comes back around. You can see the original fare alert, including the sample itinerary details, at The Flight Deal.
