our warm welcome with a smile
Welcome onboard Cebu Pacific Air! Whether you are traveling around the Philippines or going abroad, I hope you have a comfortable and entertaining flight.
The latest figures show that air travel is literally taking off across Southeast Asia, and the Philippines is becoming more and more popular for visitors. This steady increase in both domestic and international flights has been fuelled by the surging popularity of all Asia’s budget airlines. Travel for every Juan has never been more convenient!
We’ve made it even easier to fly in 2007 by increasing our number of flight connections, adding to the frequency of some of our flights and offering new ways to pay for flights.
Our new hotline number in Cebu (tel +32 230-8888), as well as our real-time internet booking service (www.cebupacificair.com), ensures you can fly where you want, when you want – and book and pay at your convenience. Read all about these new initiatives in our Airline News on page 88.
To maintain our service standards in the air, two more new Airbus aircraft will be delivered early this year, completing our $670 million re-fleeting program. Lean back on new luxury leather seats, and enjoy the friendly service and one-of-a-kind entertainment provided by our Fun Flight games, as well as your very own copy of Smile.
In this issue, you’ll find five great ideas for budget holidays under PHP5,000, discover why Bantayan is luring visitors to stay, and learn what it’s like to live with the amazing Tau’t Batu tribe in Palawan – a seldom-seen aspect of the Philippines that we should be proud to preserve as part of our culture and heritage.
Overseas, we look at dining in Bangkok and find the top things to do in Jakarta – our newest destination. All that, and much more!
Increasing our routes, continually exceeding our high standards of performance, and offering the lowest fares have made Cebu Pacific the Number One airline in the Philippines.
Travel and enjoy!
