Fly to Vietnam Three Times A Week!
Cebu Pacific will operate flights on this new route three times a week—every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. To celebrate the launch, the airline is offering promotional fares, including its popular Piso Sale, making travel more affordable and accessible to a wider audience.
The Cebu Pacific fleet, designated as 5J, will use its A320 and A321 aircraft for these direct flights between Cebu and Ho Chi Minh City. Both Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Cebu Pacific will be operational on this route starting May 2, 2025.
Both Cebu and Ho Chi Minh—also known as Saigon—are key economic and cultural centers in their respective countries.
