The new flights will serve the route utilising PAL's 199-seater Airbus A321 which offers Business, Premium Economy and Economy classes of service.
Free baggage allowance, Wi-Fi connectivity, inflight entertainment and new inflight meals are among the offerings passengers will enjoy on board the 3.45 hour journey.

Return flight PR579 (BKK-CEB) leaves Bangkok at 1:30AM local time every Wednesday/Friday/Sunday and touches down at 6:15AM. Cebu to Bangkok fares start from £134 one way including taxes.
Travellers from Thailand now gain a convenient direct link to 'The Queen City of the South' and can connect to any of the following Philippine destinations flies to from Cebu, namely: Bacolod, Busuanga, Butuan, Cagayan, Caticlan, Davao, Camiguin, General Santos, Iloilo, Kalibo, Legaspi, Ozamiz, Puerto Princesa, Siargao and Tacloban. From Cebu, visitors may also take PAL flights to Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Seoul (Incheon), Singapore, Chengdu and Beijing (Peking).
The Central Visayas consists of the two major island provinces of Cebu and Bohol, the latter of which is home to the famous Chocolate Hills and the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary in Corella. As the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines, Cebu has some of the country’s most iconic heritage spots. Visitors can retrace historic journeys, play golf, hike mountain trails and laze on pristine white sands or dive on exotic coral reefs.
