Airlines Flights (Cebu)

[AsianPursuits]

Flight schedules as of now are still limited to Angeles (CRK) & MNL.

Philippine Airlines will fly CEB-CRK 'most' days around 11 am departure. Strangely not available on Thursdays, no PR flight.

Cebu Pacific CEB-CRK is currently like midnight each day they operate so it wasn't an option for me. I've sat too many times in those Cebu departure lounges and just watched as the departure times fade and get delayed.

With the limited arrivals into CRK there are also limited blue taxies available. The hawker "private taxi" types were offering P500 to Walking St hotels. Trying to book a Blue taxi through Grab app was not successful as they did not want to risk the new stupidly long drive to the new terminal. Fortunately I picked up a random that had done a drop off. P200 on the meter to my hotel.

For the ones coming from Europe (like me) there is now a direct connection to Cebu with Turkish Airlines 3 x per Week with a short stop in MNL:

I am flying PAL from Cebu to Clark in the morning. Picking up my girl at Clark and driving to subic to stay two days there. Then I bus to Manila and she returns to angeles area, (she is not a bargirl just lives near there). I decided to go with Clark because I hate Manila airport. I could have bused my girl to subic and me flown into manila then traveled to subic. This will cost me more to do it the way I am but to me it is worth it to avoid manila airport. Plus I have not seen clark before and I want to see it. Any suggestions for my bus trip to manila from Subic. I will be staying at the H2O in manila.

Looks like H20 is midpoint between the Cubao and Pasay City bus terminals. Take Victory Liner express to Cubao or Pasay City bus terminal and then taxi to your hotel. Your suitcases are free on the bus. BTW the buses only take a very small carryon underneath the seats and no more than 8-9 inches thick in the overhead.

T2 is in operation. I departed on international flight last week. The terminal is beautiful and spacious. The AA check in was efficient and orderly. The gate numbering is not in numerical order!

Now for the budget mined, price for bottled water is P75 and most other items are higher price than T1. Other than the loud mass of Chinese and / or Koreans it was pretty good.

Hi,

I will be flying from manila to Cebu.

I've done a little search on fares etc but one thing I keep noticing is the extra paid option for increased baggage allowance.

Obviously I'm flying into PH long haul so I've got more than 20 kg of luggage, the paid options are offering me up to 20 kg, this seems crazy as everyone, I'm assuming arrives on a long haul with 20+ kg of luggage, the cheap domestic price I'm getting quoted is now seeming like its going to be double that price after being stung at check in for overweight baggage.

Anyone else had this issue flying long haul then domestic?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Standard practice, nothing new here, pay the extra before you check in or pay through the nose at check in. Either way you pay or no bags fly over the 20 kgs. These are effectively budget airlines in country and I use a lot so I always modify my baggage or pay. I was away for 7 months with 25 kg bag including books etc so it is possible.

And why does any monger need lots of clothes when laundry is so cheap and half (or more) of the time you will be naked with a cute LOL.

I can remember years ago I flew to Europe. The international allowance was 70 pounds. Flying from France to Italy the allowance was 50 pounds or even less, possibly 20 kilos. I was shocked in the extra baggage fee I was hit with.

The Phil airlines have pre paid options up to 40 kilos unless you are on a propeller plane which has a limit of 20 kilos.

I know on Cebu Pacific they have an extra fee of P250 per kilo on any extra weight above prepaid baggage. Best to buy a little electronic baggage weight thing and prepay baggage at a little higher limit than you think you might have. Also be aware of the 7 kilo carryon limit. They used to weight your carryon at check in. I haven’t seen this recently. But one time it cost me P750!

You might wear the heaviest clothes and layer them on and shoes at check in to avoid the baggage weight. LOL.

Btw, most 25-26 suitcases weight 14 pounds or more. I have found the duffle bag with or without wheels weight a lot less. There are plenty of airport porters to carry your bags for a $1 or $2. Lot cheaper than the overweight charges.

During a recent visit from Cebu to Davao, flew on PAL. In Davao, asawako's colleagues told us that they had taken the newly inaugurated Airasia flight from Cebu to Davao, and their fare on Air Asia was less than half of our fare on PAL. Plus, their Air Asia flight arrived in Davao half an hour ahead of schedule. Our more expensive PAL flight on the same day was 1.5 hours late.

We had our "revenge" though. Our return flight on PAL was a mere 1 hour late, while their Air Asia return flight the same day was 1.5 hours late.

PAL= Plane Always Late.

Just checked the Air Asia website, and it seems that AA has now raised their Cebu-Davao airfares substantially, although still generally lower than PAL. Of course, Cebu Pacific is the third option. Interesting to compare fares on any given day.

YMMV.

From today a rival to Cebu Pac (well as rivals go not much of one but then beggars can't be choosers LOL).

Four times a week and will be much welcomed by a few members I know who like the route.

Has anyone flown Vanilla Air between CEB-NRT? If so, would appreciate your impressions.

Domo / Salamat.

Guys should recheck the whole new line-up for Cebu Pacific flights.

The "new" badged airline as part of Cebu Pacific is called "CebGo" will be departing from Terminal FOUR, the oldest of the 4 NAIA terminals.

Lots of new flight destinations scheduled along with additional flights to current destinations.

Also PAL is now promising some flights out of CRK to CEB. Will wait to see those.

The other thing that I noticed with the new CP timetable is that it actually meshes with some other arrival times. For instance, there is now an afternoon flight CEB-SUR meaning that people can arrive on Cathay or Silkair flights to then transit onto SUR. It does do away with an overnight stop.

Its also not possible to go SUR-CEB CEB. CRK in the same day, once again previously an overnighter or via MNL and driving.

Of course, all of these connections rely on things going to schedule.

I'm also a fan of using CP to connect to Cathay flights out of HK. Where as CRK-HKG then HKG to Australia is usually an overnight in HKG, if I connect with CP it can be done in about 14 hours with no need for driving AC to NAIA.

RK, what is the best way to see the entire overview of their flights?

Finally Cebu have loaded the promised daily flights CEB / CRK. Not quite daily but now up to 6 flights per week. New timetable starts 27 March.

It will take me a while to sift through how this can work best for me. With the new schedules I hope I can just slip into Cebu for one night to see some local honey there.

Previously any trip from Clark to Cebu was always a minimum of 3 days as I wanted to avoid the 4:50 am departures or the 1 am arrivals.
