Booked a run on 10/31/2015 arrives MNL 11/1 at 21.05, outbound departs at 22.55 arrives LAX at 11/2/2015 at 04.48. Can anyone tell me if the 1 hr 50 min is enough time in MNL and is there a in transit option so I don't have to clear customs and security?

All I can say is move fast.... its not a great airport to transit.

I've taken this flight a few times, and you may be OK.

Usually less than an hour to get out of Immigration and Customs, but it can take a while to go back though to get airside.

I was on a similar itinerary last week. IIRC, there is a transit option when you get off the plane. I was staying in Manila a couple of days, so I went through customs and immigration.

Even if you go through Customs/Immigration, I believe you should be OK. Terminal 1 is a relatively small terminal that caters to "secondary" international airlines. Our flight from Guam arrived about 25 minutes early and it only took 5 minutes to go through customs.

Departing Manila, it only took 5 minutes to go through Security (this was around 8 pm). There were only a few flights/airlines leaving Terminal 1 at that time.

When I checked in at the United counter, they gave me a pass for the Miascor lounge. I'm assuming you'll be OK with just a boarding pass.

The Miascor lounge is OK with some 3 hot food entries. It was very warm/crowded and they had several fans around the club. The lounge does not have a restroom (there is one right outside the entrance). Also there are no showers.

Good luck

So is this bookable or what?

If thing has not changed since a couple years ago, there is a transit desk just before immigration and custom so you don't need to go through the immigration and custom at all. The transit desk shall be able to issue you the boarding pass and point you to the security check point to get up-stair to the departure gates.
