…this is what I’m seeing.

The tail end of the typhoon that hit the Philippines has finally left and we woke up to spectacular sunshine in Boracay. The waves are still rough and the wind is still blowing hard, but that’s not stopping anybody from frolicking in the cool turquoise waters.

Seair recently increased their flights to Caticlan, with departures from Manila and Cebu. Currently, they are the only airline flying in and out of Caticlan, the jump off point to Boracay Island.

This is in line with SEAIR’s mission of helping the Philippines’ tourism development, especially tourism to the island of Boracay. SEAIR has been serving this route since 1995 and has the longest history of uninterrupted service to Boracay direct via Caticlan.

SEAIR’s fleet of DO328’s and LET410’s have proven very good performance in short runways. “Our aircraft, the Dornier 328 and LET L-4110, are both capable of Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL). They are aerodynamically designed in a way that it is capable of landing and taking off in about 750 meters with full pay load. These aircraft are the most appropriate for small runways where bigger commercial airplanes cannot land,” said Avelino Zapanta, SEAIR president.

You know what’s even better? I did a quick check for fares over at the Seair website, and I was able to find round trip tickets from Manila to Caticlan for only Php716.80! That fare already comes with the complimentary transfers from the Caticlan airport to the jetty port to Cagban port in Boracay Island, and back again. Talk about great value. Now isn’t that reason enough to hit the beach?

Also, the great thing about flying Seair is that there’s hardly ever a long line at the check in counters, check-in baggage are quick to be taken out of the aircraft and flights to and from Boracay can be as short as 35 minutes! Mas matagal pa ang byahe ko from my house to the airport!

Are you based in Cebu? No worries, Seair got you covered. Seair has recently relaunched the Cebu-Caticlan route, with flights every Fridays, Sundays and Wednesday. Perfect schedule for a weekend getaway.
