Cebu Pacific’s $5.40 seat sale: Fly for less than the price of a latte?
Low-cost carrier offers one-way base fares for as low as ₱299 ($5.40)
Manila: Budget carrier Cebu Pacific has come flying in with a getaway game-changer, with a $5.40 airline seat sale.
That’s about the price of a fancy coffee or milkshake, and less than what it costs to enjoy a slice of souped-up tiramisu cake.
If you’ve been craving one last sun-soaked escape (perhaps even a spontaneous food trip in Iloilo or Bacolod), this could be your big chance to book that flight, with one-way base fares as low as ₱299.
Just when you thought your summer beach dreams were bound to stay in your camera roll, and whether you do it for your mental health, or for your future Instagram feed, just do it before May 31, 2025 (the deadline for grabbing this deal).
Where to go?
Domestic destinations on sale include some of the Philippines’ best-kept travel secrets and crowd-favourite hot spots:
From Cebu: fly out to Bacolod, General Santos, Ozamis, or Puerto Princesa.
From Manila: grab deals to Roxas, Kalibo, Iloilo, Cebu, Bacolod, Davao, and beyond.
Flying from Clark or Iloilo? You’re in luck, too — deals are up for grabs from these hubs.
Craving an international adventure?
Cebu Pacific is also slashing fares for some swoon-worthy overseas destinations.
You can jet off from:
Cebu to Ho Chi Minh
Clark to Tokyo (Narita)
Manila to Fukuoka or Chiang Mai
Iloilo to Singapore
It's like a buffet of destinations, and everything's on the sale menu.
Travel period
From May 16 to October 31, 2025 — giving you plenty of time to plan, plot, and pack.
Whether it’s a June birthday bash in Boracay or an October food crawl in Ho Chi Minh, your dream escape is still totally within reach.
What’s included, what's not
Domestic fares include a 7 kg hand-carry baggage allowance (perfect for light packers and weekend warriors).
Just remember: base fares don’t include Web Admin Fees, 12% VAT, terminal fees, or fuel surcharge. So yes, it’s cheap — but bring your calculator.
International fares also cover the 7 kg hand-carry, but exclude web admin fees (short or long haul), ₱550 terminal fee, and the fuel surcharge.
Still, it’s a steal — could you be that person who books a trip “just because”?
