Sunlight Air makes a full day in Cebu simple, with flights that let travelers begin in Manila and enjoy a packed itinerary before returning home in the evening.
It’s a schedule made for both business and leisure—whether sealing deals in the city, sampling Cebu’s famed culinary scene, or slipping away to the beach. With one-way fares starting at P888, the route offers a mix of convenience and accessibility that makes Cebu feel closer than ever.
Last week, Sunlight Air brought several members of the media—including this writer—to the Queen City of the South for a stay at Shangri-La Mactan Cebu. The trip highlighted how the airline is carving out its place in the domestic market while connecting Manila-based travelers more seamlessly to Cebu’s mix of work and leisure.

For larger groups, such as incentive trips or corporate outings, Sunlight Air also offers special rates and charter options. This fits neatly into Cebu’s growing appeal as a destination that blends productivity with play. The city’s thriving IT hubs, convention centers, and hotels stand side by side with heritage attractions and outdoor adventures—from diving off Mactan to road-tripping across southern Cebu.
The airline is also enhancing the travel experience through partnerships. Passengers on the Manila–Cebu route receive perks like discounted Hertz car rentals and dining privileges at Puso Bistro & Bar in Quest Hotel. At Mactan-Cebu Airport, travelers can enjoy 30% off walk-in rates at the Plaza Premium Lounge, which provides comfortable seating, complimentary refreshments, and work areas for those who want to stay productive before boarding.
Sunlight Air currently flies a fleet of ATR 72-500 aircraft, a reliable turboprop designed for short-haul island routes. With bases in Clark and Cebu, it connects travelers not only to the Queen City but also to Coron, Siargao, Boracay, and Manila. The airline’s focus on service—offering personalized assistance and a smoother passenger journey—sets it apart in a competitive domestic market.
For Cebu-bound travelers, the Manila–Cebu route doubles as both gateway and getaway. With Sunlight Air, it becomes an experience in itself, linking the country’s capital to a destination that continues to define the balance of business and leisure in the Philippines.
