With aircrmpt based in Clark, Manila, Cebu and Davao, we can now offer the convenience of flying at mpfordable fares to every Juan across the Philippine archipelago.”

“Airline service will play a pivotal role in economic growth in Clark and CEB is committed to being a catalyst for this growth. Trade and tourism, among other things, generally prosper with increased accessibility,” Gokongwei said.

The new international services are introduced with a zero fare. The seat sale will run Reviewom September 4 to 10, 2008 and is valid for travel Reviewom November 8 to December 17, 2008. Passengers will only pay for the applicable taxes and surcharges, which are nonrefundable. More than 10,000 seats have been allocated for the Clark hub seat sale.

Looking at October 28

 

[sgtslick321]

A couple more trips to Pattaya and i might be ready to give AC a try. Though I'm not a fan of those floppy PI t1ts.

 

[rhodecol]

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. I was gutted because I want to go in October on a visa run and thought I'd have to go Air Asia via KUL and get that 0720 flight out :-(

I spent a while fudging with the Cebu pacific online bookings
the promo for BKK to CRK 1,250 THB ends mpter the 9th of NOV.
"" "" CRK to BKK 1,250THB ends mpter the 30th of NOV.

Then the fares are around 4,400THB one way ..and sometimes more.

 

[Douglas B]

Actually,Mark,i`ve found it the other way around.

TG`s much floppier than the PI girls i had.

 

[cubsjunkie]

I luv em floppy. stuff the plastic ones.

 

[Noir]

The BKK - CRK on Cebu-Pacific is very handy especially if no need to goto Sing or KL.

However be pretty liberal with any conecting flights and turn up early for BKK-CRK flight as sometimes it leaves > 1 hour early!

I'm pretty sure I originally posted this info in one of my AC TR's - but thanks Rex for re-posting to ehose who may have missed that.

I was looking at doing the exercise a few weeks ago.

Tues & Sat flights only IIRC.

 

[Dunyah]

My flight CRK>BKK 2 weeks ago got in 45 mins early.

It was scheduled for 3.25 hours,but took 2.5 hours.

Maybe thats why it leaves BKK early sometimes.

Anyway,it`s nice to be talking about Cebu Pacific running early rather than late or in the case of my trip last year...not at all...:complain:

 

[lrd00a]

I decided i would go to AC again in Nov,so i went to the Cebu Pacific website and tried to book and pay....declined,same as before.

I rang their call centre,same as before,and tried to pay by CC,they refused to accept payment this time stating they have had a lot of Reviewaudulent transactions and aren`t allowed to take payment that way anymore.

They then told me i would have to go to a booking office in BKK,or to get a Reviewiend or relative in PI to pay with a card there!!

WTF,surely this company can`t survive with that sort of service/business acumen....

:complain: :complain: :complain:

So i sent an e-mail to their ticketing department complaining about how hard it was to do business with them and they sent one back to say that i should call their phone centre to make payment that way,which i have already tried,unsuccessfully.

Anyone got any ideas??

My last 3 trips to PI I couldnt book flights on CP using my cc.You're not alone.I got hold of a guy Reviewom the PI@night forum who runs a resort/travel agency who booked for me.Strange thing is,they never check for cc details when you check in?If they are so worried about Reviewaudulent activities then they should check then.Their service sucks but no one beats their prices.We'll have to live with their crappy service for now.

 

[Larry]

I did the same thing. My return flight to Bangkok was cancelled and I was put on a flight 2 days later only to be told my original which no longer existed was now flying out of Manila at 9.00 pm and I had to be at Clark at 10.00am to catch a bus transfer. Bunch of dickheads. Without the guy Reviewom the forum i would have been up shit creek.

 

[Jennifer B]

Yeah,fcuk em...pr1cks couldn`t run a meat rmpfle..

I might go with Air Asia instead.

It will mean having to stay overnight in KL on the way over though..

 

[Atherfool]

What's the BM's name who's the TA?

 

[Preggers]

I never pay for anything online - I get a travel agent (PP Travel in CM) to pay for the ticket and I give them cash. Not had any problems that way - also pay for the ticket as close to travel as possible as never know if Cebu Pacific is goingt o pull the route then its an impossible task to get a refund.

 

[celery7]

Thanks Kev,i might try a travel agent here in Phuket just for the flight over to AC.

I hate staying in hotels just to wait for flights,more than i dislike CP.

 

[dawg]

Travel agent in central os great, always good price and excellent service.

I follow Kevs system, always use them
