Passengers can buy P288 seats from Cagayan de Oro to Davao or Iloilo; from Davao to Iloilo or Zamboanga; or from Zamboanga to Tawi-Tawi.

Seats as low as P488 are also available from Manila to 10 Mindanao destinations: Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cotabato, Davao, Dipolog, General Santos, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Surigao or Zamboanga. This translates to air fare savings as much as 74%.

International seat sale fares are also up for grabs. P888 seats are available from Manila to Ho Chi Minh, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur or Hanoi, as well as from Clark to Bangkok.

Passengers can also buy P1,088 seats from Manila to Brunei, or from Cebu or Clark to Singapore. Passengers traveling from Manila to Singapore or Siem Reap can buy P1,488 seats, while those traveling from Manila to Jakarta or Bangkok can buy P1,888 seats.

“Cebu Pacific remains committed to offering the lowest fares in all the markets we serve.

This includes our newest international destinations Hanoi in Vietnam and Siem Reap in Cambodia,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

“CEB’s seat sale fares to Malaysia and Singapore will also allow our passengers to spend less on airfare and more on shopping and bargains at their destinations,” she added. The 1Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 2012 is from June 15-September 2, while the Great Singapore Sale 2012 is from May 25 until July 22.
