Jetstar has just announced it will soon be flying to the Philippines direct from Australia. From November 2025, you'll be able to hop on a direct flight to the idyllic isle of Cebu or the bustling capital of Manila.

The Perth-Manila route will commence on 27 November, 2025, while the Brisbane-Cebu route starts the following week on 3 December.

Both routes will operate three times per week.

Flights will depart Perth for Manila on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, at 21:10 and land at 4:15 the following day. Return flights from Manila to Perth will take off on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:35 and land at 13:00.

Flights will depart Brisbane for Cebu on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 12:30 and land at 17:15. Return flights from Cebu to Perth will take off on the same days at 20:15, landing in Brisbane at 5:05 the following morning.

Flights will be available aboard Airbus 321LR jets from Perth to Manila or from Brisbane to Cebu.

The biggest hub in the country, Manila is the launch pad to the Philippines' pristine beaches, soaring volcanoes, rushing waterfalls and lush jungles.

But don't look past the city itself. From the historic Intramuros area to the dizzying heights of Makati's skyscrapers, there's plenty to do in the bustling city too.

Meanwhile, Cebu has quickly become a playground for Australians. Canyoning at Kawasan Falls, snorkelling in Moalboal and swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob are just some of the draw cards to the island.

Brisbane Airport CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff said: "We know Queenslanders love to experience new destinations and Cebu will deliver in spades with gorgeous islands and people, rich Spanish colonial history, and vibrant street food culture, it is a tropical getaway waiting to be discovered.
