New direct flights between Davao and Kuala Lumpur as of February 2018

For a while, there have been direct flights from Davao City to Singapore. Cebu Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Silkair serve this route. They may however be quite expensive, Cebu Pacific being the cheaper among them.

Fransisco Bay Airport, Davao City

 WHY DAVAO?

The Airport of Davao City (DVO) is a very nice, modern airport, with few travellers compared to Manila for example.
And if you destination is Mindanao island, and even other locations in the Philippines, why not enjoy going directly to the safe, friendly city of Davao? From Davao there are a lot of domestic flights, so it might be a good idea to touch down here, and avoid Manila with all the hustle and bustle that you can experience there, going from one airport to another.

I travelled from DVO directly to Singapore last year with Cebu Pacific, and the whole journey was fantastic. Great service, no hassle in the airport or check in. However, there was not much of choices when it comes to foods served there, so I ended up with hot noodle soupe from a small kiosk.

Since I was flexible concerning dates, I found a very cheap ticket booked one month in advance.
Be aware that some people have bad experiences with those cheaper airlines, like Cebu Pacific, so if you can afford it, better pay more and get better services of course. But I write this article for people who are on a small budget, and love to travel.
Before comitting to buying a ticket, always compare with other options, as they usually have different baggage allowances, charges for meals and services, different seating sizes etc.
