Cebu Pacific doubles frequency for Manila-Legaspi

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country’s low fare leader and leading domestic carrier will start operating a second daily Manila-Legaspi service in anticipation of the coming summer peak. The additional A320 direct service will operate from March 22 to June 12, 2007.

“We are very happy that after less than 6 months of operating a daily service to and from Legaspi, we are now announcing our second daily service for the summer peak travel season. We will be using our 179-seater A320 for this additional service and increasing our capacity for this route by 119%. This means that we will be able to provide more low fares to the public,” Candice Iyog, CEB marketing director said.

The additional A320 Manila-Legaspi service is scheduled to depart Manila at 6:05am, arriving in Legaspi at 7:00am; the flight departs Legaspi at 7:30am and arrives in Manila at 8:25am. The lowest ‘Go’ fare for this route starts from P288 one-way.

“Another travel tip for those who are unable to get the lowest ‘Go’ fares is to book ahead of time and think about traveling on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as there are a lot a low fares available in the middle of the week,” Iyog added.

Now in its 11th year, CEB has the newest fleet in the Philippines, and one of the newest in Asia as it operates 13 brand new Airbus aircraft to its 20 domestic and 7 international destinations. The airline awaits the delivery of one more Airbus aircraft in March 2007 to complete its $670 million re-fleeting program.
