PAL reviving Cebu-Los Angeles flight in May

January 21, 2020

Philippine Airlines on Tuesday said it is reviving a non-stop flight between Cebu and Los Angeles this May  after suspending the service for more than two years.

“Our upcoming service from Cebu to LA is a vivid demonstration of our commitment to build up Mactan Cebu as a global aviation hub, a dynamic gateway, not only to domestic points, but to major international destinations," said Gilbert Santa Maria, PAL president and  chief operating officer. 

 "Los Angeles and the USA now joins Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Nagoya and Seoul in the list of PAL overseas destinations served from Cebu,” he added. 

PAL previously operated Cebu-LAX flights from March 2016 up to May 2017.  

The new service will help boost Philippine tourism, as US-based leisure and business travelers can now avail of the fastest and easiest travel option:  a single flight nonstop to the Queen City of the South, vs. less convenient options that involve transfer flight connections via other Asian airports. 

 The launch of the new service will increase PAL's network offering to a total of 64 flights weekly to the USA, Canada and the U.S. territory of Guam.  

PAL's Cebu-Los Angeles flights will depart three times weekly for Los Angeles from the new Terminal 2 of the Mactan Cebu International Airport, utilizing PAL's largest aircraft, the 370 seater Boeing 777-300ER. 

As part of PAL's 2020 New Year Sale, the airline is offering promo fares for flights between Cebu and Los Angeles for as low as $420 (base rate) exclusive of government taxes. Booking period for this special offering is from January 20 until January 24. Travel period is from July 1 to December 10, 2020. DMS
