Embrace the sun and sea with direct flights to Cebu and Boracay in just 2.5 hours

For those looking to escape the cold, spending the holidays on Pacific islands is a great choice. Cebu and Boracay are popular destinations in Philippine island tourism, and Philippine Airlines has added direct flights during the Lunar New Year holiday, not only with well-timed flight schedules but also with a flight duration of just 2.5 hours. Sunshine, sea breeze, sandy beaches, ocean, coral reefs, and tropical fish—this is the perfect destination for a classic blue vacation.

The popular Lunar New Year Philippine Airlines charter flight packages are now on sale, and Phoenix Travel has also planned special charter-exclusive itineraries for the holiday season. The top recommendation is the “Crystal Boracay 5-Day” package on February 13 and 17, with direct flights to Kalibo Airport. With ample time, you can stroll along the 4-kilometer stretch of fine white sand before dinner, admire the crystal-clear sea and sky, watch tourists playing in the water returning on their crab boats, and see people lazily enjoying massages on the beach—a truly relaxing and laid-back experience.

The “Crystal Boracay 5-Day” itinerary includes must-do marine activities. First, experience a snorkeling lesson at White Beach, then take a ride on the locally unique crab boat for offshore activities such as sea fishing and snorkeling. The next day, you’ll enjoy water sports like sailing and banana boat rides, and a beach massage is also specially arranged for travelers. In addition, there’s a complimentary ride in a four-wheel-drive vehicle for an in-depth land tour of the northeast coast, visiting less-crowded beach areas and a butterfly garden. In the evening, head to a local popular bar to experience the alternative nightlife of Boracay.

For the Cebu itinerary, the “Starfish Cebu 5-Day” package with direct charter flights on February 13 and 17 takes travelers to the famous Apo Island Marine Sanctuary for snorkeling, as well as bamboo rafting experiences on Bohol Island, visits to the unique Chocolate Hills, and encounters with tarsiers.
