Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, inaugurated on October 29 its direct flights from Manila to Chiang Mai, offering more Juans a seamless and affordable way to visit the mountainous region of northern Thailand.

Manila-Chiang Mai – 3x weekly (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday)

CEB — which is the only carrier in the Philippines that offers direct flights to Chiang Mai — celebrated the launch with an event at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, attended by His Excellency Mr. Tull Traisorat, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the Philippines, and Ms. Yatika Kaewborisoot, Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).

In his speech during the event, CEB President and Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao highlighted the airline’s commitment to offering passengers more opportunities to explore the country and the world.

With the launch of this route, travelers will now enjoy a shorter and more efficient journey to Chiang Mai – cutting up to 8 hours of the passenger’s travel time. Travelers will also save up to 64% on their flight costs with our direct service.

As direct flights between Manila and Chiang Mai begin, more Filipino travelers will 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 boarding their flight. 

CEB operates in 35 domestic and 26 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
