Airphil Express offers special rate to Vigan

MANILA, Philippines - Airphil Express invites you to go back in time and experience the old World without leaving the country. Vigan, the last vestige of colonial European architecture in the Philippines, can now be reached for only P88 (one-way) via the latest Express Sale promo of Airphil Express. Buy your tickets within Dec. 19 to 21, 2011 and fly to Vigan via Laoag from Sept. 1 to Oct. 30, 2012.

The fastest growing budget airline in the country aims to encourage local tourism through its regular Express Sale promos. “If steep airfare is what’s preventing Filipinos from experiencing the wonders of their own country, then we’re going to take away that problem through our regular promos,” says Alfredo Herrera, Airphil Express SVP for marketing and sales.

This month, the spotlight is on Vigan. With its preserved colonial houses, cobblestone pavements and an architecture that is an interesting fusion of Philippine, Oriental and colonial Spanish designs, the capital of Ilocos Sur truly deserved to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

Want to visit other places apart from Vigan? Check out the other destinations included in this period’s P88 Express Sale promo. The same rate applies to flights from Manila to Calbayog, Catarman, Cebu, Masbate, San Jose Mindoro, Tacloban and Tugegarao (or v.v. to all). Meanwhile, flights from Manila to Butuan, Cagayan De Oro, Cotabato, Davao, Zamboanga, General Santos, Pagadian, Ozamiz, and Surigao (and vice versa to all these routes) will cost only P488. You can also go international from Manila to Singapore (and v.v.) for only P888.

Aside from their regular Express Promo Sales, Airphil Express is also proud to have pioneered the 24/7 customer support service -- a first in the local budget airline industry. “By taking advantage of emerging trends in social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, we are able to get in touch with our customers, and be responsive to their needs any time of day, any day of the week,” adds Herrera.
