Because direct flights are not available from T. F. Green Airport (PVD) to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), travelers must choose between shorter total travel time with premium fares (fewer/shorter layovers) or lower-cost itineraries with longer connections. Connecting through major hubs such as Boston (BOS), New York (JFK/EWR), Chicago (ORD), Tokyo (NRT/HND), Seoul (ICN), or Taipei (TPE) provides numerous scheduling choices. In February, consider connections that minimize night-time transfers and allow 3+ hours for immigration and re-checking baggage when switching from international to domestic sectors in the Philippines.
Recommendation: If comfort and speed are priorities, pay for shorter-layover itineraries; if saving money is the goal, hunt for one-stop routings with reasonable layover windows. Always account for winter weather at PVD and BOS when planning tight connections.
