Vietnam and the Philippines have just gotten closer with the launch of Cebu Pacific’s new direct flight from Manila to Danang, Vietnam. The first flight between the two cities took off on 7 December 2023, setting up a quicker and more economical route for travellers in the Philippines to visit the biggest city in central Vietnam. Cebu Pacific will fly three times per week to Danang on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Cebu Pacific is the national airline of the Philippines.

Journey to Danang Made Easier
Before the new flight route, travellers from Manila previously needed at least 10 hours of travel time to get to Danang via connecting flights from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or a neighbouring country. Travellers no longer have to worry about paying for or waiting at a different airport for a layover, thanks to this new non-stop flight. They can reach Danang in three hours and save at least seven hours in travel time.
Cebu Pacific is the biggest Philippine airline to serve Danang, making it one of the most visited cities in Southeast Asia. This is their third destination in Vietnam. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are two other Vietnamese cities that are served by Cebu Pacific flights.
Tourists flock to Danang to experience its world-class resorts, stunning architecture, and mouth-watering cuisine. In addition to introducing visitors to the historic village of Hoi An, My Son Sanctuary, and the Hue Imperial Citadel, this location is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in and of itself.
A series of inaugural Cebu Pacific flights in diverse locations are allowing travellers to experience destinations that used to be hard to get to, according to Xander Lao, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Cebu Pacific. Once again, Cebu Pacific lowers the barrier to entry for Filipino travellers by introducing a new route from Manila to Da Nang.
Cebu Pacific flies to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations spanning across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. For more information, visit www.cebupacificair.com.
