Congratulations and cheers to the infinity and beyond powers of blogging!

Keep it up man!

1. Low-Fares are designed to rip you off when you exceed hand-carry and check-in bags, fees range from $40-65 per bag. If you miss your flight, get ready to pay with penalties & upgrade reaching $70 per segment.

2. Everything is ala-carte….meaning if you want water, you have to pay for it. This is literally a flying bus in/out of Philippines.

3. Paying full-fare means less service. You still treated like a 2nd class citizen no matter what. I asked a flight attendant for water in my Davao-Manila 7 pm flight on 11/07/09, she responded, “Sir, you have to buy a bottle. If u really want one, we can give you HOT water with ice for your medicines.”

Some service….huh? Absolutely, the SH*T airline of the world!

From my Taipei to Manila flight on 10/29/09, I asked for a blanket. Guess what? You have to pay for it as well. Next time, they will charge you to use the rest room or CR plus charge you for the toilet paper or tissue in the CR too.

Flying Cebu Pacific reminds me of riding a provincial bus and pay for your own food from street vendors that come in when bus stops plus pay for the rest rooms (CR) at each bus stations. This is how Cebu Pacific got their idea!

One more thing, I booked my Taipei flight locally but didn’t have my US passport in hand. I told them that I’m US citizen. They charged me P1620 for international pinoy travel punishment tax for not having my passport.

When I requested a refund after showing my US passport at Terminal 3 office, I was told that I have to go to Travel Tax office in Ermita to get a certificate that cost me P200 plus transportation.

I did get the certificate to authorize Cebu Pacific to refund and finally received my refund but cost me P500 to get it and half a day. What a F**king joke! They could’ve just booked my flight as US citizen in the first place & avoid the hassle of getting my travel tax refunded back.

This is airline is the dumbest airline and 100% F*cking sh*t hole of the airline industry! Cebu Pacific should leave the airline industry and goto provincial bus business model.

FYI, Kharl at the NAIA terminal 3 sales office is a dumb-ass too! I hated doing it…but I must have called him a F-king dumbshit for not listening to me. He and his company deserved my ranting frustrations. Provincial bus companies are ran much better than Cebu Pacific. I can’t wait to see this airline go into bankruptcy.

“One disappointed customer represents 6 others who also are not happy. Those other 6 are just keeping their dissatisfaction a secret from you. One plus six is – 7.

We can count on the average disappointed customer to tell at least 9 others. Considering we have 7 dissatisfied customers from the one brave soul who told us we were not up to par, now 7 will tell 9 people each. From easy multiplication, that’s 63 people who will hear about this negative experience. To keep the calculators away, round this to 64.”

CEBU PACIFIC WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS SOON! Those promo fares will not pay for the operation fix costs. They need to be OUT OF BUSINESS because they give all airlines a bad name.
