Cebu Pacific

The Philippines' leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), expands its Asia Pacific footprint as it resumed its direct flights to Sydney from Manila on July 2, 2022, following the easing of travel restrictions both in the Philippines and Australia.

CEB operates flights between Sydney and Manila three (3) times weekly, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. 5J 40 flies out of Sydney at 11:20AM and arrives in Manila at 5:50PM (local time).

Meanwhile, its flight from Manila operates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Flight 5J 39 departs the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at 11:20PM (local time) and arrives in Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport at 9:50AM the following day.

“With this route resumption, we are pleased to fly once again to and from this destination after more than two years. We know that many are excited to visit our beautiful country, boasting of its beaches, natural beauty and charm. This also enables Filipinos to reunite with friends and family. We will continue working on boosting seamless connections across our network to address demand,” said Xander Lao, Chief Commercial Officer at Cebu Pacific.

To continue enabling everyone to fly, seats to Manila are up for grabs for as low as AUD299 base fare from July 1 until July 6. Travel period is from February 1 to June 30, 2023. This is on top of the month-long seat sale for as low as AUD309 for travel period from August 1, 2022 up until January 31, 2023.

Australian nationals are allowed to enter the Philippines without a visa for a period of 30 days. Boosted travellers no longer need to take a COVID test pre-departure.

Coming back to Sydney, arriving tourists need to present printed copies of their COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate upon check-in. Travelers must also complete and submit their Digital Passenger Declaration form at least 72 hours before departure.

For more information, passengers may refer to the CEB Travel Reminders page for the latest updates and complete travel guidelines to their destination.

CEB continues to offer its guaranteed low fares to stimulate travel across its flight network which covers the widest Philippine destinations. It continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety, while it operates with a 100% fully vaccinated crew, 95% of whom have been boosted – all to ensure everyone flies safely and conveniently on Cebu Pacific.
