Davao is the Philippines' largest city by area and its most surprising destination—a sprawling, orderly metropolis at the foot of Mount Apo, the country's highest peak. Known as the durian capital and home to the critically endangered Philippine Eagle, Davao offers a rawer, more adventurous Philippines than Manila or Cebu. Samal Island's pristine beaches lie minutes offshore, while the city's night markets and cultural diversity reveal Mindanao's complex, fascinating character.

Business class flights to Davao start from $2,700 round-trip. Philippine Airlines via Manila offers the most direct routing with their upgraded business class cabins featuring lie-flat seats on long-haul segments. Singapore Airlines via Changi provides world-class service with onward connections. Cebu Pacific offers competitive premium economy on domestic legs. BestBusinessClass.com sources fares to Davao from $2,700—typically 25-35% below published prices.
The journey to Davao requires 17-21 hours total travel time, typically routing through Manila or Singapore. Philippine Airlines operates nonstop flights from LAX and JFK to Manila (MNL), followed by a 2-hour domestic hop. Singapore Airlines via Changi connects to Davao through SilkAir partner flights. The Manila domestic connection is frequent with hourly departures.
Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO) is modern and efficiently managed—a reflection of Davao's reputation as one of the Philippines' most orderly cities. The city center is 15 minutes away. Davao's strict no-smoking, no-jaywalking ordinances create an unexpectedly clean urban environment. Taxis are metered and reliable, and ride-hailing via Grab operates seamlessly throughout the metropolitan area.
The Philippine Eagle Center houses the country's national bird—one of the world's largest and most endangered raptors with a wingspan exceeding two meters. The center's breeding program is critical for the species' survival. Mount Apo, at 2,954 meters the Philippines' highest peak, offers challenging 2-3 day treks through mossy forest and volcanic terrain. Eden Nature Park provides accessible highland adventures with zip lines, fishing, and horseback riding through pine-scented grounds.
Samal Island—officially the Island Garden City of Samal—is a 15-minute ferry ride from Davao's waterfront with white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and resort development that remains tastefully low-key. Pearl Farm Beach Resort, built on stilts over turquoise water, channels a sophisticated island aesthetic. Hagimit Falls cascades through jungle on the island's interior. Talicud Island, further south, offers even more secluded beach escapes accessible by bangka boat.

Davao is synonymous with durian—the pungent 'king of fruits' that divides opinion worldwide. Try durian candy, durian ice cream, and fresh durian at the Magsaysay Fruit Market for the full experience. Beyond durian, Davao's night markets serve grilled tuna belly (arguably the best in the Philippines), kinilaw (raw fish ceviche), and sinuglaw. The Roxas Night Market stretches for blocks with barbecue smoke and affordable seafood feasts.
Davao offers the Philippines beyond the tourist trail—arrive rested and ready to meet the Philippine Eagle, scale Mount Apo, or kick back on Samal Island. BestBusinessClass.com optimizes Manila and Singapore connections so you maximize your time in Mindanao's fascinating capital.

Business Class
Fleet type matters enormously here: only the A350-900 delivers a true lie-flat bed, so always confirm aircraft type before booking, especially on Manila–Australia or intra-Asia routes still served by A321s or A330s with angled or recliner seating. For the best experience, prioritize Manila–Los Angeles, Manila–New York (JFK), or Manila–London routes, all operated by the A350. Domestic and regional business class should be viewed as a premium economy-plus product rather than a full long-haul business class experience.

Not all Singapore Airlines business class seats are equal — the A350, 787-10, 777-300ER, and post-2017 A380 cabins offer excellent fully flat seats, while some regional aircraft (including certain 737 MAX 8 and A330 configurations) feature older, less private seating. Always check the specific aircraft type via ExpertFlyer or the booking confirmation before selecting a flight, and where possible prioritize routes operated by A350 or 777-300ER aircraft for the best experience.
