“With (the additional flight), Filipinos who are currently in the UAE can find it easier to make plans for essential travel to the Philippines,” CEB said in a statement sent to Gulf News.
“In addition, CEB has also adjusted its passenger options — allowing for increased flexibility and added peace of mind, given the developing situation for air travel all over the world.
“These expanded flexibility options include unlimited free rebooking for new bookings (but may be subject to fare difference), rebooking fee waivers for three months of existing booking (subject to fare difference), and extension of the Travel Fund validity to two years,” the airline said in a statement.
