Pero if ikaw lang pupunta, any airlines they mentioned above that offer cheaper fares eh okay na. Watch out lang sa transit flights, kse much longer ang trips.
Thank you for flying with us! :-D

Expect delays same with pal.
Nothing too expensive sa check in. We have heard stories of damaged bags or missing bags. Personally, sana hindi maka experience.
Mag dala ng socks, yung pwdi maging blanket, snacks and i take antihistamine+panadol+melatonin para maka tulog! Ok din may libro or movie sa ipad. Hahahaha!
Ok yung air crew mabait pero the ground crew not as efficient.
If sanay kayo singa/ qantas even pal with cebu pac medyo lower na lng yung expectations. .
If off peak naman sa cebu pac... You can have 3 seats on ur own. Pero if peak... Ok talaga may alaxan or panadol. Hahahaha. Im size 8-10 au pero feel ko stiff or masikip lng yung chairs ng cebu pac??
Pero if may sale cebu pac...grabeh ang mura naka try kami 1000+ Pa visayas pa for 3 return!!! Yung friend ko 600 pa manila for 3 return. Unbelievable! Hindi ko alam paano nagagawa ng cebu pac ang pricing nila. But to get that ticket mga 2-3 hours ako on the computer kasi site kept crashing. Grabeh ang patience...hahahahaha!! Eto yung pinaka first entry ng cebu pac in sydney.
For me singapore airlines has been the best so far kaya lng mahal sya. If with kids, we take cathay or singa or PAL basta yung may pinaka shortest layover. Not necessarily the cheapest.
but saying all those things...on my own or as adults ok naman to fly with cebu pac. I go home quite often kasi my kids are still in pinas. It is good enough basta maka abot naman safely.
Hindi ko pa na try yung iba kasi pa visayas pa kami so if by jetstar/scoot...still need another airline after manila.
