Philippine Airlines (PAL) is opening up more ways to reach Siargao, the country’s surfing capital and one of the Philippines’ top island destinations. With new flights connecting through Clark and Cebu, travelers now have more flexibility and convenience when planning their trip to the island. These routes complement PAL’s existing Manila-Siargao service, strengthening the airline’s role as a gateway to Siargao’s beaches, waves, and vibrant culture.
More Choices from Clark and Cebu
For travelers in Luzon, Clark International Airport offers an accessible hub that’s easy to reach from Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Its location makes it a convenient jump-off point for tourists who want to avoid the busier Manila airport while still enjoying direct access to Siargao.
Meanwhile, passengers from Manila can also connect through Cebu before heading to Siargao. Cebu’s efficient airport operations and strategic location ensure smooth transfers, giving travelers another reliable alternative route to the island.
As the Visayas’ premier business and tourism hub, Cebu draws visitors from neighboring provinces and islands. PAL’s Cebu-Siargao flights are perfect for spontaneous surf trips, weekend escapes, or extended island holidays, offering quick access to Siargao’s surf breaks, unspoiled natural landscapes, and lively community spirit.
Boosting Local Tourism and Economy
“By opening alternative connections to Siargao via Clark and Cebu, we are responding to the demand for greater access while boosting local tourism and economic activity,” said PAL Express President Rabbi Ang. “We are proud to support the continued development of Siargao, benefiting both visitors and the local community.”
Direct Manila Service Still Available
In addition to these new options, PAL continues to operate direct Manila-Siargao flights, catering not only to domestic travelers but also to international visitors connecting through the capital. With one-way base fares on Economy Class starting at just PHP 4,388, PAL makes the dream of visiting Siargao more affordable than ever.
PAL’s Signature Service
True to its reputation, PAL ensures every flight is a seamless experience, with spacious seating, smooth boarding, and in-flight service infused with the warmth of Filipino hospitality. Passengers can easily book through PAL’s website or mobile app, track flights in real-time, and enjoy support from dedicated customer service channels. Frequent flyers also enjoy added perks through PAL’s Mabuhay Miles program.
