Philippine low-cost carrier (LCC) Cebu Pacific formally launched its direct flights between Manila and Chiang Mai on Tuesday, 29th October.
This latest addition to the Cebu Pacific network offers travellers a seamless and affordable way to visit the mountainous region of northern Thailand from the Philippine capital.
The Manila-Chiang Mai flights will operate three times weekly: every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The airline celebrated the launch with an event at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, attended by Thai ambassador to the Philippines Tull Traisorat and Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) director Yatika Kaewborisoot.
In his speech during the event, Cebu Pacific president Xander Lao highlighted the airline’s commitment to offering passengers more opportunities to explore the country and the world.
Lao said: “For years, Cebu Pacific has been dedicated to connecting Filipinos not only to essential destinations, but also to popular places that were previously difficult to reach. More than adding to Cebu Pacific’s growing network, the launch of the Manila-Chiang Mai also serves as a testament to Cebu Pacific’s commitment to making air travel more accessible for everyone.”
A more efficient way to get to Northern Thailand
With the launch of this route, travellers will now enjoy a shorter and more efficient journey to Chiang Mai, cutting up to eight hours of the passenger’s travel time.
Travellers will also save up to 64 percent on their flight costs with the direct service.
As direct flights between Manila and Chiang Mai commence, more Filipino travellers can now experience the popular Lantern Festival every November, take home renowned Thai handicrafts, and visit the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, one of the most venerated temples in Chiang Mai.
To commemorate the event, passengers of the maiden flight were treated to Thai snacks and other travel essentials from TAT prior to coming aboard.
