Cheap flights from Manila (MNL) to Calbayog City (CYP)

Calbayog is the main gateway to Samar's rugged coastline, sinkholes and the famous rock formations of Biri Island further north, and Philippine Airlines flies it nonstop several times a week.

Which airline flies direct from Manila to Calbayog?

Philippine Airlines operates the nonstop service on this route on select days each week. Cebgo also serves Calbayog, but with a stopover in Cebu rather than flying direct from Manila.

How long does the flight take?

The nonstop flight takes about 5 hours 5 minutes.

What drives the fare

With a limited weekly nonstop schedule, fares from AU$119 tend to move mostly with how far ahead you book, and rise around Holy Week and the Christmas-New Year period when domestic travel across Samar picks up.

Where is the airport?

Calbayog Airport sits close to the city centre, one of the more conveniently placed regional airports on this network. Taxis and tricycles run from outside arrivals; there's no rail link, so onward travel is entirely by road.

What you need to travel

Manila and Calbayog are both in the Philippines, so this is a domestic flight and a government-issued photo ID accepted for internal travel is normally enough.

Time difference

Manila and Calbayog are both on Philippine Standard Time, so there's no clock change on this route.

Where to go next

Samar pairs naturally with other eastern Philippines hops, including Manila to Legazpi further along the same coastline.
