THE country’s flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced that it is making Siargao more accessible with more flight options via Clark and Cebu.
PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said these routes complement the flag carrier’s Manila-Siargao route, improving connectivity for travelers to the popular island destination and Clark International Airport’s location makes it easy to get to from most areas of Luzon, making it an ideal choice for most travelers. Tourists in Metro Manila are also easily able to access the airport using available transport.
Additionally, Villaluna said travelers can take the Manila-Cebu flight and transfer to Siargao. Cebu’s fast and efficient layovers are sufficient to facilitate smooth transfers between flights. This route provides a suitable alternative for accessing the island, making it possible for visitors to have more choices to meet their travel requirements.
“Cebu, being the business and tourism center, gathers visitors from surrounding islands and provinces. PAL Cebu-Siargao is particularly geared towards travelers who want fast access to the island’s surf breaks, most pristine nature, and lively community, for a spontaneous weekend getaway or an extended holiday,” she said.
According to PAL express President Rabbi Ang, “granting Siargao alternative air connections via Clark and Cebu addresses the appeal for air access and encourages local tourism and economic activity. We are happy to play a leading role in the steady development of Siargao, wherein both the visitors and the residents will prosper due to expanded air transport opportunities.”
Ang said that PAL continues to have direct Manila-Siargao flights, which serve residents and tourists of the country’s capital as well as travelers connecting from international flight routes.
He added: “The Manila-Siargao route remains a viable PAL service, ensuring that visitors from all over the world have convenient access to the Philippines’ famous island paradise. Travelers can take advantage of PAL’s special one-way base fares on Economy Class for as low as PHP 4,388 if they book now.”
He assured that PAL’s award-winning service and commitment to safety remain central to its operations and travelers flying to Siargao from Manila, Clark, or Cebu can enjoy spacious seating, smooth boarding and in-flight service that showcases Filipino hospitality.
