Mga sis nakabook kami ng daughter ko to dubai sa april
May nakapunta na ba sa inyo ? Just asking how was the flight experience medyo
mahaba din kasi yung byahe and its my first time to travel abroad so medyo kabado
Give  me tips and advices naman mga sis pano makaiwas sa mga horror stories sa cebupac
Kasama ko pa naman daughter ko kaya gusto ko din mag ingat. Thanks

[mama squeak!]

^sis, care to share what horror stories you are referring to?

[glacy_rein]

^^magbaon kayo sisng enough food kasi one meal lang daw ang kasama dito eh.. but if night flight kayo which means puro tulog lang then ok lang din

[msals2007]

hope somebody can help me with this, its my first time to book with cebupac. We searched for a flight, round trip for 2, manila singapore, total is around 6k plus, then after clicking continue, we arrived at the add on page, naging 11k plus na. So the 6k plus does not include pa pala the insurance, baggage allowance and meals. The basic fare is P99 pero ang magiging total namin including everything na is 11k plus. Mura na ba yun?

[mama squeak!]

True to all low cost carriers you will have to pay for all extra amenities as compared to premium or full-service carriers where everything is included in your ticket fares. Cebu Pacific is a low cost carrier therefore you pay for all the extras like meals, check-in bags, advanced seat reservations, flight kits (pillow, blankets, eye masks, etc)

Since Dubai is a 9-hour flight CebuPac has two meal services per leg. When my parents left for Dubai last year I bought them one meal per leg/flight. The flight leaves Manila around 3-4PM so I got them the 1st meal service which was equivalent to dinner. On the way back home the flight leaves Dubai at 11PM so nakapag-dinner yan na sila and arrives Manila at around noon so I got the 2nd meal service which was the equivalent of breakfast. Meron din silang baon na snacks in case they get hungry during the flight.

My parents also brought their own neck pillows and blankets/jackets since merong bayad yung amenity kit on board (of course you get to keep them since you bought them nga). For entertainment naman my Mom had her iPad while si Daddy dinaan na lang sa tulog. If you have gadgets with you make sure they're fully charged since walang sockets on board.

CebuPac also offers WiFi on their regional/international flights for a fee just like the other carriers be it low cost or premium/full-service airlines.

i see. so yung mga nababasa ko palang post dito that they were able to get around 2k to 3k plus na round trip promo fare, base lang pala yun? wala pa yung sa mga baggage allowance, etc. i thought all-in na.

[vain_kixie]

For what i paid cebu pac for my manila-dubai-manila flight, i have no right to complain lol. 14k round trip for an 8 hour flight is cheap. Very cheap. Pero so far all my international promo fare travels with them have been good. Syempre my expectation is i wont get full service kasi low cost carrier siya and i have to buy everything. But even if i buy everything, it still comes out cheap.

[mama squeak!]

^I paid around that amount too for my parents, bale 15K each sila including bags, seats and meals. I bought the tickets during their Php888 promo.

@msals2007 , madalas akong nakakakuha ng 3K all-in RT for my Manang on her Tagbilaran flights. Abang ka lang ng seat sale.

[msals2007]

thanks. mura na siguro yung nakuha ko. P10314 for 2 pax, round trip manila singapore. including na yung baggage allowance and insurance. so nasa P5200 lang per person, round trip, all in na. except of course yung terminal fees.

[shakeshake]

hindi parin ba kasama ang terminal fee sa tickets? akala ko binago na nila T_T

[glacy_rein]

^hindi pa sis. sa PAL ko to naranasan kapag nagbobook kame via Mabuhay Miles.

hindi ako nagaavail ng travel insurance so for 99promo mock booking 3,4XX No baggage 4,3XX with 15kg and 20kg no meals also pero hanap pa din ng mas mababa para mamaximize ang budget.

[mama squeak!]

hindi parin ba kasama ang terminal fee sa tickets? akala ko binago na nila T_T

This is only good for domestic flights ex Manila, Cebu (not sure kung meron na rin ang Davao) on all Philippine carriers (CebPac, PAL, etc). But for regional and international flights, you still have to pay at the airport.

 

[shakeshake]

owwww got it! thanks mama squeak! 

[msals2007]

when you say no baggage allowance, that means wala kang checked-in baggage di ba?

[mama squeak!]

^Yes. Handcarry ka lang ng 7kgs on their A319/320 and A330 flights while 5kgs on their ATR flights.

[hikarichan]

^^sis msals2007, kelan ang flight nyo? Kakabook ko lang din dahil sa P99 sale, manila-bangkok rt 5.8k with 15kg baggage. Mura na kasi sa end of feb na ang byahe ko.

[msals2007]

March 13 to 18 sis. Manila Singapore RT naman with 20kg baggage allowance, no meals. Roughly P5,150 each. Tapos plan namin mag 1 day Malaysia trip if kakayanin.

[ms_ldr]

did a mock booking round trip mnl-pps, 2 adults and 2 kids, umabot ng 8,200php., travels on May 2014. looks cheap already. magkakaron pa kaya ng promo lower than 99 in the future?

napansin ko kaya biglang nagmamahal kasi naka automatic na yung mga add ons. i kept the insurance though, pero inalis ko yung seats. atsaka isa lang samin ang may bagahe. 15kg lang.

actually sis meron nakakakuha na rt 2k to 3k lang na airfare. I remebered nung nag book ako ng SG trip ko January ko kinuha then Feb yung flight, I was able to book it for 3.4k lang. Nung Nag HK naman kami I was able to booked rt fare for only 3k lang. Sabi pa ng mga friends ko mahal pa daw yung nakuha ko na fare. Hehe. Minsan tsambahan din sa promo fare pero I noticed nga medyo pahirapan na sa paghahanap ng mura talagang flights. Noon naalala ko yung ibang friends ko nakakakuha pa ng rt tickets to local destination na around 800 pesos lang.

Ngayon nga nung na-book kami ng friend ko for Davao trip this May, 1 way palang inabot na ng 26++ not bad na rin
