Every airline has at least 1 stop before the US. It may be just a quick stop with no plane change but they all have it even PAL. Try Hawaiian airlines also.

I have Flown PAL 3 Times to LAX from Manila.It is a direct Flight with No Stops from Manila to LAX.

united.com is who ive been dealing with directly. as long as your schedule is flexible you can get some really good deals, rather than dealing with a travel agency. for example i paid $867 RT from Arcata,CA(prop plane), to SFO, to Japan to . there was NO price difference flying from ACV or SFO, so I basically got a $400 rt from ACV to SFO for free!!! while my fiancee's ticket going ONE WAY costs $765.

you can find good deals typically 2.5+ months in advance, sometimes you can find good deals just a few weeks away from departure, but you risk it going that route. what I did was look for the cheapest fare over the next 365 days,you'll see the lowest price they offer and look for the cheapest earliest flight that best suits you.

Right now Delta has USA - MNL (various cities) on sale for as low as $950 RT within the week. You should search for flexible dates. You might leave Saturday and come back after 10 days and see it for $950, but if you left Sunday it would be $1800. Just hit or miss.

I have flown domestic in the USA 3 times in the 1990s and I think Delta was one of them. In October 2010 I flew on Asiana Airlines from Seattle, WA to Korea, to Manila. I loved Asiana Airlines. The food I thought was very good! Service was wonderful. The flight assistants were very friendly, and it was just a wonderful experience for me! I joined their club and now I have about 10,000 miles for my next flight, whatever that means! I would recommend them highly from my experience, and I would love to fly with them again when I get a chance! :)
