5 hours LA/SFO to Hawaii, 8hrs Hawaii to Manila
Philippine Airlines (PAL) is the best way to go! Direct flights to Manila from San Francisco or LA, may have a refueling stop (2hrs) on Hawaii on some flights.
During this coming holiday season, good luck on getting a seat! May have some business or Mabuhay class seats, but expensive.
I have personally taken 12 round trip flights on this route by PAL, this is the only way to go from the west coast of the US to Manila. Other airlines has a least one stop and a wait for another smaller plane to Manila. A big waste of time.
PAL is also in the new Manila airport, they have their own terminal.
These flights leave SFO or LA around midnight west coast time, arrive Manila two days later in the morning. Hotels in Manila are open to early check in to sleep off this long flight. Drink plenty of fluids and get lots of sleep.
Have a safe trip
