There’s a new country on the Cebu Pacific flight path and it’s the eclectic and beautiful Vietnam. Cebu Pacific is starting up two new routes to Hanoi and Hoh Chi Minh. Hanoi is the arts and culture capital, where romantic old buildings sit on wide tree-lined boulevards, good food and original art can be bought and there’s the evocative Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, 1,000 years old. Hoh Chi Minh is embracing the rigors of modernisation and worth a visit fast, before it changes pace even further!

The lowest ‘Go’ fare to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh starts from PHP999 one-way, still more than 65% lower than the current fares for these routes.
The Manila-Hanoi service starts on April 10, 2008, and is offered three times weekly, (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays), aboard Cebu Pacific’s A319 aircraft. The flight departs from Manila at 10:50pm, arriving at Noi Bai International Airport at 12:25am the following day. The return flight leaves Hanoi at 1:10am and arrives in Manila at 4:45am.

Flights to Ho Chi Minh City will begin on April 11 and will run every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Using Cebu Pacific’s 150-seater A319 aircraft, the flight leaves Manila at 10:50pm and lands in the Tan Son Nhat International Airport at 12:15am of the following day. The flight back to Manila leaves at 1:00am and arrives at 4:25am, leaving plenty of time to explore the cities, and be back in time for work the next day!
Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Product announced, “We are very excited to be flying to Vietnam because we know that this is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in Asia. With the launching of these new international destinations, we hope to further encourage trade and tourism between the Philippines and Vietnam.”
