you have no better options in terms of connections because all other options are to travel to AMS,FRA,MUN,LHR or CDG first

Re: Help. Flights to....
Christmas holiday is ultra high season.
Again: don't rely too much on booking sites. Go to Joker and explain your problem. Try to be flexible with your travel data. With some airlines the price difference is almost 50% if you travel before or after 15th December to Asia. Return is not the big issue.
Complete bonkers alternative:
Mahan air.
euh?
You fly from Düsseldorf for 599 euro ( high season price ) to BKK via Tehran ( where the females have to wear a vale going to the terminal ) and you buy another cheap ticket Bangkok-Manila. ( I guess about 250 euro )
Other option: Airasia ! ( aha, Ozzie, you didn't think about that one did you ! )
Flight Stansted-Kuala Lumpur and than again with Airasia Kuala Lumpur - Manila.
Only problem for you is to get to Stansted. But the Ryanair freaks will help you out with that one
But a quick look at the site shows that those 3 tickets together will not save you a lot of money. Maybe 100 euro all together a person. And than you will have all the hassle of checking inn 3 times.
OK serious now. The Germans have sometimes great prices. 1060 euro with China Southern Airlines Bru-Ams-PEK-MNL

Re: Help. Flights to....
Christmas is indeed the most expensive time to travel to Manilla.
My parents went a couple of years ago around that time. They flew from DUS with Emirates, around 900 euro/person I believe.
My advise: hurry to a travel agency, they can find you the best deals, often cheaper then online with this destination and period. And don't wait with booking, it will only get more expensive, and flights to Manilla will be full before you know it.

Booking engines are great to prepare a bit back at home.
But for some cases it is best to go to the travel agent.

Christmas is absolutely the worst time of the year if you want cheap flights to the Philippines. Every OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) and his dog wants to go back home for Christmas, so flights are fully booked months in advance.
I would suggest booking early (you're a bit late for that already), or searching for days on end on just about any airline ticket website you can think of. Alternatively, just go to Joker or Connections or Nouvelles Frontières, and ask them for their prices.

Re: help.Flights to....
Forgot to say you could always book a flight at a travel agency to the Middle East or South East Asia and then book your own flight from there to the Philippines on an airline website (Cebu Pacific, Zest Air, AirAsia...)

Seriously now,Ozzie, this is in fact terrible for the poor Phillipino expat worker who just can travel in this period. While Hadj flights are made cheap, why is there no action for the millions of Phillipino's who want to see their children just once a year - if possible ?
Strange idea: can the church not be involved? To keep the families together around Christmas. Some chartered B744 would do a great job. Just a naive idea, I suppose.
Re: Help. Flights to....
hold on a second...
I got something different for you. Looking on some German sites ( they have a pretty large Phillipino community ) I found this: Departure from ...Frankfurt. I know, it is 4 à 5 hour drive. But take into account the number of tickets. Stay the day before in a local Gaststätte 20 km from Frankfurt and you have a pleasant flight with... China Airlines ! Frankfurt-Taipei-Manila for 980 euro a person - see simulation here under.
Roughly calculating ( car + local cheap hotel included) it would be a saving of 600 to 700 euro.

I checked it on the Joker website and they also offer exactly the same solution for the same price.
