The service will take off three times a week from Manila, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, leaving at 8 pm and arriving at 11 pm. The return flights will be an hour later, at midnight, landing back in Manila at 5:05 am.

Cebu Pacific is offering a discounted base fare of 999 pesos (B724), before fees and taxes, for a one-way ticket from Manila to Phuket through its website until Thursday (May 23) for the travel period between August 16 and October 31.

The website is currently quoting a promotional Phuket-Manila-Phuket return fare of B1,598, but this comes lumbered with fees and taxes that almost quadruple the price to B6,045.

“Cebu Pacific is proud to make the island of Phuket accessible to even more travelers,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog. We encourage everyone to take advantage of CEB’s trademark lowest fares to this world-renowned tourist attraction.”
