Cebu Pacific to launch Batanes Flights on March 25
The quaint scenery, strong waves, and green pastures are just some of the many reasons why Batanes is on every wanderlusts bucket list and as if Cebu Pacific just heard about people’s plea for another option for travel to the “Marlboro Country of the Philippines”; they are launching on March 25, 2018, the Manila to Basco, Batanes route. It’s the perfect announcement for the coming summer travel season.
Batanes was the most requested destination on social media by eager netizens when the aviation company presented the campaign last year. Cebu Pacific used the hashtag #CEBFlyMeTo to gather votes from followers on where they want the next Cebu Pacific flight to head. Bantayan Island, Cebu; Daet, Camarines Norte; Mati, Davao Oriental; San Vicente, Palawan and Siquijor were the other well-liked destinations. The top picks were evaluated based on the following criteria; airport infrastructure, safety and security processes and passenger facilities.
“Our new flight to Basco is in keeping with our commitment to connect more of the Philippines and make air travel safe, affordable, reliable, and fun-filled for everyjuan. What makes this route more special is that netizens were actively engaged in the selection of our new destination—our customers were part of the process,” Alexander Lao, Cebgo President and CEO narrated.
An introductory all-in-seat sale flights from Manila to Basco from February 12 to 13, 2018 is being offered by CEB until supplies last. There will also be a special introductory price of php2699 from March 25-31, 2018 for travelers during the peak of summer season while travelers who are going to the province from June 1 to October 27, 2018 will enjoy an all-in introductory seat fare of php2399. The regular airfare for the Manila to Basco flight can be as low as php4241 (all-in).
There are 37 domestic and 25 international flight destinations offered by Cebu Pacific. They have seven main offices in Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Clark, Davao, Iloilo, Kalibo and Manila. They are also expecting a couple of brand new aircrafts to be delivered on these coming months.
