Cebu Pacific (CEB) will become the first Philippine airline to fly directly from Manila to Siem Reap, Cambodia, when it launches thrice-weekly flights on April 19.
“Adventurous backpackers usually travel by land from Ho Chi Minh or Bangkok to Siem Reap, just so they can visit Angkor Wat, part of the Angkor World Heritage site. Now, Cebu Pacific can fly them to Siem Reap on its trademark lowest fares,” said Candice Iyog, vice president for marketing and distribution at CEB, in a press statement.
Angkor is considered as one of Southeast Asia’s most important archaeological sites, with the Angkor Archaeological Park being a home to remains of various capitals of the Khmer Empire between the 9th and 15th century, including the famed temples of Angkor Wat, Bayon and Angkor Thom.
To launch its latest international route, the budget carrier is offering P888 seats from Manila to Siem Reap from January 27 to 29 or until seats are still available, for travel between April 19 and May 31, 2012.
The latest route is due to leave Manila at 7:50pm every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and arrive in Siem Reap at 9:30pm, while return flights will depart from Siem Reap at 10:30pm and arrive in Manila at 12:10am.
