Philippine Airlines will operate seasonal direct roundtrip flights between Guam and Cebu from December 17, 2026, to January 7, 2027. The schedule aims to meet increased holiday travel demand while allowing passengers to bypass Manila when reaching the Visayas region.
Why it matters
The route provides a streamlined travel option for those visiting the Visayas region during the high-traffic Christmas and New Year period. By connecting these hubs directly, the airline reduces the logistical burden of transiting through Manila for international holiday travelers.
The six-flight rotation will run from December 17, 2026, through January 7, 2027. Flight PR121 will depart Guam at 4:55 a.m. to arrive in Cebu at 6:30 a.m., while the return PR120 leaves Cebu at 9:40 p.m. to land in Guam at 3:25 a.m.
