Cebu Pacific is adding more flights from Manila to Dubai beginning July 2, bringing its total to 10 times weekly.

The low-cost carrier will operate the additional Manila-Dubai flight every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, scheduled to depart Manila at 10:20 p.m., and arrive in Dubai at 3:25 a.m. the next day.

This is on top of daily flights with 7:20 p.m. departure from Manila, and 12:45 a.m. arrival at Dubai.

“This is a chance for every Juan to experience a bit of what Dubai has to offer – from its megastructures, shopping, food, and cultural heritage. With the easing of travel protocols in and out of the country, travelers also need not to worry about hassles when coming back to the Philippines,” Cebu Pacific chief commercial officer Xander Lao said in a statement.

Travel requirements when flying to Dubai include a valid tourist visa, passport valid for six months upon arrival, applicable Philippine Travel Tax Certificate, and any of the following:

  • Valid vaccination certificate(s) (in Arabic or in English) that reflects the completion of doses of vaccine approved by the World Health Organization or the United Arab Emirates, provided with QR code;
  • Valid negative COVID-19 test certificate (in Arabic or in English) based on a molecular diagnostic test issued within 48 hours from the time of collecting the sample and from an approved health service provider, with a QR code;
  • Valid medical certificate (in Arabic or in English) issued by the relevant authorities that the passenger has recovered from COVID-19 within a period of one month (the date of recovery and the date of arrival) provided with QR code system

Fully vaccinated travelers coming to the Philippines are exempted from presenting pre-departure COVID-19 test results for entry if they have received at least one booster shot.

Cebu Pacific urges its passengers to check with the authorities of their destination for the latest protocols and requirements.

The airline has been increasing its international services with the easing of COVID-19-related travel restrictions.

For the rest of 2022, Cebu Pacific in an earlier statement said it sees a better business outlook driven by domestic recovery and re-openings of international destinations.

In the first quarter of 2022, the airline flew 16,521 flights, 128% higher versus the same period last year while passenger count likewise improved by 272%.

As of March, Cebu Pacific operates a route network serving 62 domestic routes and 16 international routes with a total of 1,839 scheduled weekly flights, as it gradually increased its operations brought about by the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
