I just checked and good news cebu pacific air is having a 25 peso deal in all it's domestic flights. Travel dates would be from june 1 to sept 30. good news, I'm planning to go on vacation so i logged in and wait...and wait...and wait. what the heck it's been an hour and the page for booking won't load. Can cebu pacific upgrade their system to accommodate more visitors when they're on sale?

I guess it would be more advisable if you check them out on their booth.

I haven't thought of that option. on second thought, is that really possible? because if we go to a booth and the agent at the counter will access the site on their computer then i think it's not going to make a difference. Not unless, they already have reserved tickets which i doubt since most likely what will be offered to you is the regular fare.

Yes you can actually go directly to their physical branches and they will accommodate promo fares. Ive done that before, since I don't have a credit card, I cannot register and reserve online, I went to the nearest branch and I was able to get a flight w/ promo fares.

By the way I forgot to say, promo fares are in a book and buy scheme. You need to buy the ticket right away since they are discounted.

My daughter's gangmates got a one peso deal a week ago.... They are now gallivanting along the shore lines.... Did you get your bargain sale?

But the girls were able to book flights. Cebu Pacific probably could not say no to the youth. My family is also planning to go swimming in the good ol' Laguna hot springs pool. Bora Bora had lost its pristine shores and we have not seen it yet. Like you, another time...

Nope. It's all fully booked when I heard about it. Another time, I guess.

Wow! That's cool, unfortunately my plan to travel is before June. What about International? Have not checked on Cebu Pacific lately.

Check their website, they have lots of promos in there. The good news is, it's not only within the philippines but some countries as well. but be warned that it's not that easy to get a reservation for domestic flights. I just don't know with flights to other countries since not everyone want's to travel outside the country.

I agree. I tried booking today but I could not get through. Plus there are only limited seats available and it is difficult to make your booking. This happens all the time whenever they have promo and they should have done necessary upgrade to avoid such problems in the future..

We have to thank cebu pacific for giving such promos and giving everyone to travel by plane more where the fare is cheaper compared to travelling by bus or boat. The only problem really is the limited number of seats and frustration in logging in and making a reservation on online. I tried most of the day, even when i reached home and the same problem is still there until i gave up. Maybe some other time i would lucky enough.

True. They have enabled lots of us the opportunity to travel for minimal costs. I think we should all be thankful for such promos. I just hope that I get lucky next time, maybe the piso fare promo? I'm sure there are more in store in the future since they usually have them during special occasions or holidays :)

wow! I just got the information about it just today and here in mylot! LOL! I will be checking domestic fares and hoping I could get my sweet reservation/ I wonder how much will be the tax and other miscellaneous fees.

@danitykane, syoti has already given the answer. @syoti, thanks for the valuable information. If we sum all the fees that need to be paid the promo fare is still cheaper compared to bus or boat fare but the most important thing about it is you can reach your destination with so much faster compared to travelling by land or sea. That few hours can really make a difference especially if your vacation time in limited.

I think this is the one you are afraid of. * Quoted fares are one way * Limited availability. * Fare are exclusive of government fees and taxes. * Fares are non-refundable. * Flight changes must be made more than 24 hours before scheduled time of departure. * Go Lite Fares are available upon booking for guests traveling without check-in baggage. * Add P 100 to fare upon booking if traveling with check-in baggage. * CAB approved terms and conditions of carriage apply.

Thanks for the information, we are planning to go somewhere in Visayas during the off-peak season. Well, sometimes their site really sucks. There are times that you would need to refresh the page over and over again if you have a new query. Their Facebook promo actually gathered a lot of complain too, because they cannot accommodate a lot of participants. Agree, they should upgrade their overall online services.

An upgrade would certainly help a lot, this would also avoid complaints from those who are not able to reserve. Most of the disappointments really, is caused not because they were not able to reserve but the time they have to wait just for the page to reload. We are all aware that it's a first come first serve basis so the least the airline can do is put a note that all seats are already taken so in case those who are still hoping to get one will be informed and don't have to waste their time waiting for nothing.

I got an email regarding that promo, and I think the P25 Go Lite seat sale for domestic flights is a one-day promo on February 26 or until seats last. The promo on international flights however starts today until February 28 or again until seats last. I guess there are too many people logging in to avail of this promo resulting in the difficulty in accessing the booking page.

That the only reason i can think of also since i haven't encountered problems logging in to other sites except cebu pacific's. There are just too many people trying to avail of the promo all at the same time. I tried taking my chance most of the day but all it get is a blank page when i reach the booking section. Well, better luck next time.

I've been checking their website since lunchtime and all i get is a blank page when i try to book a flight. I wish they would upgrade their system so it can accommodate more visitors at least at time when they have promos.
