Blog From Cebu To The World

Cebu Pacific vs Philippine Airlines (PAL), how do you like to compare the two? Since I started working in the corporate world, I traveled a lot to different places in the Philippines. And I can remember that in my 14 years of working, I flew with Cebu Pacific most of the time. Yet in those rare moments I flew with PAL, I really cherished the experience. I will tell you why in the next few paragraphs. Here is my personal comparison of the two leading airlines operating in the Philippines:

FARE

Forgive me if I start with the fare. It’s the Accountant in me that triggers this fare comparison. Is Cebu Pacific the cheaper airline? Most of the time, YES!

Free Cebu Pacific Airlines tickets, anyone? I know some had bad Cebu Pacific experiences that they won’t dare fly with the airline again even if it’s offered very cheap.

If I remembered it right, a friend of ours once mentioned about getting Cebu Pacific tickets as low as P1 all-in for a domestic flight. Wow! But there was no news about those things lately.

This is not about Cebu and the Pacific Ocean. It’s far from that. What I will post here is about my experience flying with Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading low-fare airline. I’ve read lots of rants posted by bloggers who had experienced delays and other inconveniences. I had mine too. I’d been flying with this airline for more than 10 years now. Basically, it is because of the low fares as compared to the country’s flagship airline. But let me just share with you the good and the bad personal experiences I had with Cebu Pacific.
