As Filipinos prepare to head home for the Undas break, Cebu Pacific released a list of travel reminders to help passengers ensure a safe and smooth journey during the peak holiday period.
The airline urged travelers to check their flight details before heading to the airport, including flight number and terminal assignments. Flights beginning with “5J” depart from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3, while “DG” and “T6” flights—operated by Cebgo and AirSWIFT—depart from NAIA Terminal 2.
Starting yesterday, Oct. 26, some Cebgo flights between Manila and Naga and all flights between Manila and San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, were transferred to Clark International Airport.
Cebu Pacific also advised passengers to allot additional travel time due to heavy traffic expected during the long weekend. Passengers should arrive at least three hours before domestic flights and four hours before international ones. Those flying to Dubai may check in as early as seven hours before departure.
Check-in counters close 45 minutes before domestic flights and one hour before international departures. Boarding begins 45 minutes before takeoff.
To avoid long lines, travelers are encouraged to check in online via the Cebu Pacific mobile app or website. Online check-in opens 48 hours before departure for domestic flights and 72 hours for international ones.
Passengers flying abroad are reminded to complete the eTravel form within 72 hours before departure and arrival in the Philippines and keep the generated QR code for presentation at customs. The form can be accessed at www.etravel.gov.ph.
For baggage, each passenger is allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item with a combined weight of up to 7 kilograms. Cebu Pacific advised travelers to buy prepaid baggage online, which costs up to four times less than airport rates. Passengers may also add extra weight allowances up to two hours before departure.
Self-tagging kiosks for check-in luggage are available at select airports, including Manila, Clark, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, and Bacolod.
The airline thanked passengers for choosing to fly with them and encouraged travelers to visit its Help Center for more details on domestic and international travel guides.
