Cebu Pacific (CEB) issued reminders to passengers who will travel to pay their respects to their departed loved ones during the All Saints’ Day holiday.
The airline said Cebu Pacific and Cebgo passengers must allot time for traffic going to the airport.
“Passengers must be at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 and 4 at least two hours before departure for domestic flights, and three hours for international flights. Passengers traveling to Dubai are allowed to check in as early as seven hours before departure.”
To avoid long lines, the airline said passengers may check in via the official CEB mobile app or via the Manage Booking section of the CEB website.
“Both options are available from seven days up to one hour before scheduled time of departure for domestic flights; and up to four hours before scheduled departure for international fliers.”
The airline said all check-in counters close one hour before the scheduled time of departure to ensure there is ample time for all necessary pre-flight procedures. It encourages passengers to immediately proceed to their respective boarding gates. Boarding commences 45 minutes before the scheduled departure.
“Guests flying out of select domestic destinations (Manila, Davao, Clark, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Bohol, Iloilo, and Zamboanga) are reminded to self-tag their check-in luggage prior to proceeding to counters for bag drops, in line with the airline’s contactless flight procedures.”
The airline said passengers must bring only one carry-on bag for a more convenient flight experience. The carry-on bag must not exceed 7 kilograms in weight and can fit in the overhead bins or under the seat.
CEB has exempted items that are allowed to be carried aside from the single handcarried bag:
- Gadgets or food items that cannot be checked-in;
- Items purchased inside the airport (requires proof of receipt);
- Assistive or medical items such as walking canes, foldable walkers;
- Baby food and necessities for passengers traveling with infants;
- Or a small bag that can fit under the seat
“Passengers are encouraged to purchase prepaid baggage with their tickets during initial booking on the CEB website and mobile app. CEB has implemented a per piece baggage policy which applies to all passengers with checked baggage. A passenger may choose either a 20kg or a 32kg check-in baggage, or a maximum of the two options.”
CEB said passengers traveling to the Philippines must accomplish the new electronic arrival card (“eARRIVAL CARD”) within 72 hours prior to departure from country of origin.
“This replaced the One Health Pass as entry requirement. Save a printed/digital copy of the QR code at the end of the form, and present this at the check-in counter, and on arrival.”
