The flight takes around 1 hour 40 minutes. Direct routes have increased as Siargao\\&#8217;s popularity has grown, but seats fill fast \u2014 book early, especially for peak season (December\u2013May).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Journey time:<\/strong> ~1 hour 40 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> from ~\u20b11,500\u20134,500 PHP ($27\u201380 USD)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Airlines:<\/strong> Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines<\/li>\n<li><strong>Airport:<\/strong> Sayak Airport (IAO), General Luna \u2014 about 30 min from town<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Manila\/Siargao-direct\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=manila-siargao-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Manila \u2192 Siargao direct tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Via Cebu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If direct flights are full or expensive, fly Manila to Cebu (1 hour 10 min) then Cebu to Siargao (50 minutes). This adds time but often opens up cheaper fares. Cebu Pacific operates the Cebu\u2013Siargao leg regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manila \u2192 Cebu:<\/strong> ~1 hour 10 min<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cebu \u2192 Siargao:<\/strong> ~50 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total:<\/strong> 3\u20135 hours including layover<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> sometimes cheaper than direct, especially with promos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sayak Airport to General Luna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sayak Airport is on the northern tip of Siargao, about 30 kilometres from General Luna (the main tourist town).

Pacifico in the north is quieter and suited to travellers who want to escape the crowds. Tourism Rd in General Luna has the highest concentration of accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f3e8; <strong>[Travelpayouts widget: Hotels in Siargao via Booking.com or Agoda]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long is the flight from Manila to Siargao?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 1 hour 40 minutes on a direct flight.
