Every year, Filipinos look forward to the Holy Week as a time to reflect and reunite with their families and loved ones.

May it be to participate in religious activities or go on a much-deserved vacation, every Juan should have a comfortable travel experience.

As airports are expected to get busy at this time of the year, here are a few reminders from Cebu Pacific to make air travel much easier:

  1. Be on time at the airport. Passengers must allot time for traffic going to the airport. Passengers must be at the airport at least three hours before departure for domestic flights, and at least four hours for international flights.
  2. Check in online. Long lines may be avoided at the airport by checking in via the official online website of the airline, about two days up to one hour before the scheduled time of departure for domestic flights, and up to four hours before the scheduled departure for international fliers. Passengers who checked-in online and do not have checked-in baggage only need to show their digital boarding pass to enter the terminal.
  3. Accomplish eTravel forms. For a smooth experience at the immigration counters, passengers traveling internationally are encouraged to register or update their eTravel forms within three days before departure from and arrival to the Philippines, then save the QR code generated at the end of the form.

For round-trip international flights, passengers are required to accomplish the eTravel form twice — once for the departure flight, and again for the arrival flight.

eTravel forms can be accomplished by accessing www.etravel.gov.ph

  1. Pack your bags accordingly. Passengers may board the flight with one carry-on bag that fits in the overhead bin, and one personal item like a purse, small backpack, or laptop bag that fits under the seat on the plane. Both bags must not exceed seven kilos. Bags that are not within the allowable size or weight will be intercepted, and charged overweight fees at the boarding gate.
  2. Checked baggage policy. Passengers are encouraged to purchase prepaid baggage online to save on fees.

Cebu Pacific has recently enhanced its baggage policy where passengers may now avail up to three pieces of 20-kilo baggage.

For every piece of baggage purchased, passengers may also add an extra four-kilo, eight-kilo, or 12-kilo weight allowance on top of the initial 20 kilos.

Passengers can save on fees if they pre-purchase baggage allowance or extra bags online, which is up to four times cheaper than airport charges.

Customers may buy the prepaid bags as they book their flights, or add additional baggage allowance up to two hours before departure.

  1. Self-tag luggage for select domestic destinations. Guests flying out of select domestic destinations (Manila, Davao, Clark, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Bohol, Iloilo, Siargao, and Zamboanga) are reminded to self-tag their check-in luggage at the designated kiosks at the airport, prior to proceeding to counters for bag drops.
  2. Check flight information, closing times. Check-in counters close 45 minutes before the scheduled time of departure for domestic flights, and one hour for international flights to ensure there is ample time for all necessary pre-flight procedure.

After checking in, we encourage passengers to immediately go through immigration and final security to avoid delays. Boarding commences 45 minutes before the scheduled departure.

  1. Check the airport terminal assignment of your flight. Passengers must check their itineraries and boarding passes before proceeding to their designated airport terminal. (PR)
