Cebu Pacific expands its footprint in North and Central Luzon with the opening of its Clark hub. With Bacolod to Clark flights, people from Bacolod City and Negros Occidental have easier and faster access to destinations up in northern Philippines.
The Launch of the Bacolod to Clark Flights by Cebu Pacific
Last August 2019, the Philippines’ leading carrier, Cebu Pacific opened up more doors to Luzon. They launched three new flights that will all lead to the Clark International Airport. Flights came from Bacolod City, Iloilo City, and Narita, Japan.
CEB is the first Philippine carrier to mount direct flights between Clark and Tokyo.
Flights from Clark to Bacolod and Iloilo take place daily, while direct service to and from Narita is scheduled four times weekly. They have scheduled flights every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Now, Cebu Pacific is also serving the Clark and Puerto Princesa in Palawan route.
Evening Flights
The flight from Bacolod City is almost midnight, so passengers will arrive in Clark the following day. You have to carefully check the time and dates of your departure in order not to miss your flight.
In the same way, the return flight is in the evening, around 9:40pm. The flight takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, depending on weather conditions and air traffic. While this travel schedule is a bit tiring, it wasn’t stressful. I kind of like it because for the number of nights that you stay in Clark, you get two whole extra days that you can use to rest or for sightseeing.
For our recent family vacation, we spent 3 nights in Baguio and 3 nights in Clark. But all in all, we stayed in Luzon for 8 days, which is awesome because we got to visit many places and do many things. We are a homeschooling family anyway, so we are not very concerned if the kids will be absent from school. Yep, the beauty of freestyle education–vacations throughout the year!
Additionally, I like the fact that it’s in the evening because even if you stay for only one night in your hotel, you can still avail yourself of the breakfast buffet. The kids really love their buffet breakfasts because they have the freedom to sample many different food items! That is why we really try to make it to the breakfast buffets in hotels.

Note: We went to Clark in the middle of the panic for the nCoV (covid-19). Thankfully, Cebu Pacific has stringent measures in disinfecting their planes. But as passengers, we also need to do our share. Read more: nCoV Scare: Don’t Panic But Be Careful About the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak.
Let’s stay safe in the midst of the covid-19 scare but let’s not forget how to live. Love you, guys! 🙂
on my gosh! Clark is in my Bucket List. Thanks for sharing your Travel Adventures with the kids in Luzon. So exciting!
Magandang balita po yan mommy.. Kung sa NAIA pa subrang layo pa ang byahe.. Na try ko na din po mag Clark to Bohol.. And so far, okay naman siya.. Medyo malayo lang po talaga ang byahe from Manila to Clark, but still sulit.. Mas mababa ang pamasahe..
Been quite some time since I’ve visited Manila and it’s good to hear Cebu Pacific now has Bacolod to Clark flights. Now we may finally push thru with our visit to my sis-in-law in Pampanga. 🙂 Thank you for sharing the wonderful news
Namiss ko na umuwi ng Negros, Cebu Pacific po talaga lagi sinasakyan namin, maganda din naman po ang service nila
Wow! Sana matapos na ang airport sa Bukidnon para may flights na din ng Bukidnon to Bacolod! Sana include ng Cebu Pacific.
Sarap po talaga mag travel .. sana matapos na ang pandemic.
Parang ang sarap naman po sumakay dito sa Cebu Pacific Airline. Never pa po ako nakasakay ng eroplano eh. Magandang experience po siguro ang makasakay dito..
