To spur travel, Cebu Pacific brings back Piso Fare, 3-day sale starts today

Mark your calendars and find time to stay online as Cebu Pacific (CEB) has launched its trademark piso sale from December 10 to 12. The three-day #CEBSuperSeatFest offers flights to all domestic and international destinations on sale for as low as P1 one-way base fare, for travel from August 1 to November 30, 2021.  

“A lot of us are looking forward to experiencing the wonders of travel again, especially now that we are seeing more domestic destinations reopen its doors for tourists. We firmly believe the holiday season is the perfect time to share this gift with everyJuan,” said Candice Iyog, CEB vice president for marketing and customer experience. 

“We encourage guests to use their Travel Funds to book new flights. Online payments will be accepted on all three days, while payment center options will be made available starting the second day.” 

For guests’ travel confidence and safety, CEB has introduced new sanitation procedures to ensure that the needs of its customers are addressed. CEB strictly follows three key steps: sanitation, tracing, and testing.  

The airline implements a multi-layered approach to safety in accordance with global aviation standards—to ensure guests travel with peace of mind. This includes extensive daily disinfection of aircraft, frequent cleaning of passenger surfaces at the airport and inflight, coupled with the presence of hospital-grade High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters onboard that are proven to eliminate 99.99 percent of viruses.  

These are on top of CEB’s enhanced self-service online channels that enable guests to easily manage their flights online, as well as update pertinent information that may be required upon entry to a destination. 

Contactless Flight procedures are also in place, such as boarding pass scanning, mandatory online check-in, and self-bag tagging capabilities.  

As mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), people transiting through all airports in the Philippines are required to register in the contact tracing app called “Traze” and scan QR codes at designated areas in the airports.  

To make guests enjoy an affordable and hassle-free journey, CEB also made it easier for guests to choose and book appointments with any of the airline’s three partner laboratories for their RT-PCR test, a requirement for many resorts prior to a guest entry.  Guests can book for an appointment via for only P3,300. 

CEB has also recently piloted its Test Before Boarding (TBB) process for passengers flying direct from Manila to General Santos City for a two-week trial period until December 14. It allows passengers to conveniently have their antigen tests administered at the NAIA Terminal just three hours before their estimated time of departure. Results are released within 30 minutes, and only those holding negative test results will be allowed to board the flight.  

“All these collaborative efforts are testaments of how achievable goals are when we all work together—we are positive our industry will heal and rise as one in no time so #EveryJuanWillFlyAgain,” said Iyog.
