The Gokongwei Group’s Cebu Pacific Air, the Philippines’ leading carrier, is operating direct flights from Cebu to Osaka starting Oct. 15, 2024.
In a statement, the airline said it will be the only airline to offer direct flights between Cebu and Osaka. It will operate flights between Cebu and Osaka four times weekly – every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday – in addition to daily flights between Cebu and Narita.
“We are thrilled to launch direct flights from Cebu to Osaka. With Japan being a top-of-mind destination for many Filipino travelers, the new route will surely give them the opportunity to visit one of the country’s dynamic cities.
“We also hope that this launch can encourage more travelers from Japan to explore the beauty of the Philippines,” said Cebu Pacific President and Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao.
Travelers may book flights from Cebu to Osaka for as low as P1.00 one-way base fare, exclusive of fees and surcharges, until July 31, 2024. The travel period will run from October 15, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
With flights to Osaka made more accessible, Cebu travelers now have more reason to explore the popular rides and attractions at Universal Studios Japan, get a selfie at the Glico Running Man sign at Dotonbori, or indulge in Osaka’s must-try seafood specialties.
Passengers may use their existing Travel Funds to book flights and avail of other add-ons. CEB also offers other payment options, including credit or debit cards and e-wallets.
Cebu Pacific currently flies to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
