No Manila stop needed: Cebu Pacific brings Bangkok, Singapore flights back to iloilo

Travelers from Western Visayas will soon have an easier way to reach two of Asia’s most popular destinations as Cebu Pacific restores its direct Iloilo flights to Bangkok and Singapore this November.

Starting November 23, the budget carrier will resume nonstop services from Iloilo to Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport and Singapore, giving passengers another option to travel abroad without having to connect through Manila.

Both routes will operate three times a week, with outbound flights from Iloilo scheduled every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The Iloilo-Bangkok flight will depart at 9:30 p.m. and arrive at 12:25 a.m. the following day, while the Iloilo-Singapore service will leave at 10:50 p.m. and land at 2:25 a.m.

Return flights will begin November 24 and operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Flights from Bangkok will depart at 1:25 a.m. and arrive in Iloilo at 6:10 a.m., while Singapore-Iloilo flights will leave at 3:25 a.m. and land at 7:10 a.m.

The revived international routes are expected to strengthen Cebu Pacific’s Iloilo hub while giving travelers across Western Visayas more convenient access to major Asian tourism and business centers.

For Ilonggos looking for a quick overseas getaway, Bangkok offers its famous temples, night markets, shopping districts and Thai cuisine, while Singapore remains a favorite for its world-class attractions, food scene and retail destinations.

₱199 fares up for grabs
The route announcement comes as Cebu Pacific rolls out a seat sale running until August 31, with one-way base fares to selected domestic and international destinations available for as low as ₱199, excluding fees and surcharges.

The promotional travel period runs from August 16, 2026 to January 31, 2027, covering the reopening of the Iloilo international routes.

Cebu Pacific currently flies to 35 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

Passengers may also purchase additional baggage allowance, pre-order meals and pay for bookings and add-ons through credit cards, debit cards and supported e-wallets.

With Bangkok and Singapore returning to Iloilo’s flight map, Western Visayas travelers will soon have two more reasons to skip the Manila connection and fly straight abroad.
