Sale on to the Philippines!

Cebu Pacific is a cheap and cheerful low cost carrier, flying direct to Manila.

From: MEL from $159, or $280 return
From: SYD from $169, or $302 return
Dates: various from Apr to June
Bags: Carry-on included

For full hyperlinked post with dates and prices, see the original post here

Accommodation in Manila, from $5 a night, but I highly recommend not lingering there and heading out to an island, like Palawan. El Nido is fantastic!

Never again. Flown CebuPacific more times than I can recall..After they decided Melbourne route wasn't happening almost a year after we purchased our tickets they left us high and dry (and that was only the beginning).

  This. Back when I was still in the Philippines Cebu Pacific was my go to but after what they did to all the people who purchased for the MNL > MEL flights and vice versa they are not my to-go airlines for flying back home. I'd rather take Singapore Airlines and have a layover at Singapore rather than use Cebu Pacific and risk my flight being cancelled.

  I've got a return trip to MNL in Sep and some domestic flights within Phils and they have changed the times of 3 of my flights so far. Doesn't look promising. Hope it doesn't get completely cancelled cos I also booked some domestic Jetstar flights to get to the departing airport from my place

      The planes would still fly. At most a day delay if its a really bad storm and the airlines pays compensation. Its more like what you plan to do in Philippines when its pouring day and night.

Be careful to check where the MEL-MNL flight stops , and for How long!!!

The prices looked good , then I realised most of the Melbourne to Manila trip includes a very long stop in the middle -

a 13 HOUR 40 minute layover in Sydney,
OR
14 hours in KL
OR
18 hours in (BRUNEI)

One of them was even a Stopover in KL AND Singapore!

edit - even though the website showed it all as CEBU Air, when I click to book, both Legs of MEL -MNL are actually AirAsia / AirAsiaX
x x on 14/02/2023 - 10:42

How do you book the return flight? When i click on it with the return dates, it only shows one way departing but won't let me book a return flight. What a shit website, they don't make it easy
- Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 14/02/2023 - 11:04
  
  Which one did you click on? It should just show you the return ticket as per the link you clicked. Eg https://bookings.beatthatflight.com.au/flights/MEL0507MNL180…

    Look at this: https://bookings.beatthatflight.com.au/flights/MEL2104MNL010…
    Why does it only show MEL-MNL when i have return dates? How do I book the return leg on May 1st? The top box shows the return date but down below ALL the flights shown are departure only

      Tried it, looks ok to me?
      https://imgur.com/a/6w1jBmM
      
      That first $509 one - you'll note it's leaving at 00:25 on 21st April, and below that, returning at 18:00 on May 1st?
      - x x on 14/02/2023 - 13:14
        
        @beatthatflight:
        
        why does yours show $509 for May 1 and mine shows $159 for the same date: https://i.imgur.com/i851luL.png
        
        your screenshot only shows flights for MEL to MNL. I want to book the RETURN leg MNL to MEL. How do I book the RETURN flight? The top box shows the return date but down below ALL the flights shown are departure only
        
        Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 14/02/2023 - 13:24
        
        @x x: 1) Yours is one way ($159) and mine is return ($509).
        2) No, my screenshot definitely shows flights from MEL to MNL and back. As I said - "you'll note it's leaving at 00:25 on 21st April, and below that, RETURNING at 18:00 on May 1st".
        
        Note how my screenshot shows two flights next to the $509, as it's a return flight, while yours is showing $159 for a one way flight.
        
        I've made another screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/7hGVb1M - you can see it has two flights. MEL -> MNL, and MNL-> MEL. Red is outgoing and Blue is incoming.
        
        Have you tried a different phone/desktop/browser? Same link? I've tried it on 5 browsers on 2 devices and it works fine, and given I can see bookings coming in it's working for others too.

- mrcee on 14/02/2023 - 22:01
  
  It is your typical budget air carrier something comparable to Jetstar and slightly better than an Air Asia. The check-in process will be more chaotic (I'm not sure why but they always have ridiculously long lines). The plane itself is fine but there won't be any entertainment on the flight (not hard to bring your own iPad or you know just sleep). In saying that last time I flew Philippine Airlines in 2022 they weighed everyone's carry on luggage to the last kg and saw them fining some poor old ladies for being over for a couple hundred bucks. I'd say definitely not worth the extra $$$'s for PAL which honestly feels like a budget airline anyway!
  - pao2x on 14/02/2023 - 22:25
    
    Since they dont have in flight entertainment you can carry a laptop bag with all your electronic accessories on top of your 7kg cabin bag. I basically travel checkin luggage free and skip that massive luggage checkin line at the airport.
- Kontiki on 15/02/2023 - 16:26
  
  My work had to send us over to Manila and had to choose between Qantas/Jetstar and Cebu.
  The travel agent was like '(profanity) no, you are not flying Cebu. I'd lose you as a client'.

AircraftFreight on 14/02/2023 - 22:38

I really hate MNL airport - corrupt border officials at customs and during transit trying to scam you out of crap. Takes a flash of an APEC card to scare them away but it shouldn't happen in the first place.

Airline is meh, if you are moderately sized you are in for a treat (really really small seats (3-3-3)) in comparison to the old Jetstar A330-200s being 2-4-2) Everything is extra - bag was 1.9kgs above the limit and was quoted $294 at MNL airport from MNL-CEB.

TLDR; Dont bother :-)
- Mr Bob Dobalina on 14/02/2023 - 23:57
  
  Are you allowed to record video on your phone at the airport? That should be a deterrent for any corrupt official.
  - AircraftFreight on 15/02/2023 - 08:24
    
    Generally not - you can be arrested for it when filming in a highly controlled zone such as immigration, customs ect sadly
  - Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 15/02/2023 - 08:24
    
    Phones generally aren't allowed to be used in security areas at most airports.
