If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a budget Filipino airline that began flying to Australia back in 2014. It’s a no-frills service that’s similar to AirAsia or Scoot.
What’s included in the price?
Unfortunately, not much more than your seat. Both Cebu Pacific and Scoot are budget airlines and don’t include checked bags, seat selection or meals with your ticket — even on nine-hour flights.
All of these can be purchased though, but beware that you’re likely looking at an extra $100 or more added to the ticket price if you’re going to need more than carry-on luggage.
Can I get any frequent flyer points?
Unfortunately, not. Cebu Pacific doesn’t have a frequent flyer program just yet.
