What DPS to MNL looks like
The DPS to MNL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Bali DPS to Manila MNL is a medium haul sector of 2,665 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,665 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 54m.
Bali DPS is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 61 scheduled destinations and 211.1 departures a day. Manila MNL has 80 destinations and 426.8 departures a day.
Bali and Manila keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on DPS to MNL from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPS to MNL | 2.86 | 20 | Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines |
| MNL to DPS | 2.71 | 19 | Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines |
Two carriers hold the sector, Cebu Pacific Air and Philippine Airlines, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 39 departures a week on DPS to MNL, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 3h 54m block time on DPS to MNL. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 25 of them join DPS to MNL.
| Connecting at | DPS to hub, flights a day | Hub to MNL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jakarta CGK | 29.86 | 1.57 | 3,771 | 6h 49m |
| Ho Chi Minh City SGN | 3.14 | 4.57 | 3,982 | 7h 05m |
| Singapore SIN | 18.14 | 14.14 | 4,046 | 7h 25m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 3 | 15.71 | 4,602 | 7h 53m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 14.43 | 9.14 | 4,454 | 7h 56m |
| Xiamen XMN | 1.14 | 2.57 | 4,872 | 7h 58m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at DPS in the afternoon actually flies on.
25 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Jakarta CGK, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through CGK the routing covers 3,771 km against the 2,665 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 49m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 2h 55m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Ho Chi Minh City SGN at 7h 05m and Singapore SIN at 7h 25m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for DPS to MNL in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
