Cebu Pacific offers most number of bank options for payment centers

Monday, October 19, 2009


Asia’s third largest low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific (CEB), recently launched its payment center option for the convenience of the traveling public. This newest innovation from the Gokongwei-owned airline offers the most number of options for passengers to pay for their bookings.

Now, every Juan can book their desired flights online or through the reservations hotline, and pay via Cebu Pacific’s partner banks.

Payments can be made through the ATMs of 24 Bancnet and 13 Megalink member banks. The complete list of member banks can be found in www.cebupacificair.com/products/paymentcenters.html .
Passengers can also pay for bookings over the counter at Robinsons Savings Bank, Banco de Oro and Metrobank (for those who wish to pay in cash), or through Bancnet online.

“We are doing this in order to widen our reach and make online booking an option for those who have no credit cards. This option is also available when Cebu Pacific has seat sales,” said Cebu Pacific VP for marketing and distribution Candice Iyog.

Passengers can book their preferred flight schedules on www.cebupacificair.com or through (02)7020-888 or (032)230-8888. Upon reaching the payment page or when asked, choose the preferred partner bank.
The website or reservations agent will provide a 14-digit reference number and the total amount to be paid, which has to be paid on the same day of the booking via the payment centers. The confirmed itinerary or ticket will then be sent to the passenger’s email address the next day.

Cebu Pacific’s other products and services that can be paid for through the payment centers are prepaid excess baggage, preferred seat selection, Sports Equipment luggage option, Go Lite fares, Fun Tours and TravelSure Insurance.

The leading domestic airline in the Philippines, Cebu Pacific flies to 32 domestic and 14 international destinations from Manila, Clark, Cebu and Davao.

The airline was established on August 26, 1988, and started operations on March 8, 1996. It was founded as Cebu Air, and subsequently acquired by JG Summit Holdings (owned by John Gokongwei). Domestic services commenced following market deregulation by the Philippine government. It temporarily ceased operations in February 1998 after being grounded by the government, but resumed services later the next month following re-certification of its aircraft
 
. It initially started with 24 domestic flights daily among Metro Manila, Metro Cebu and Davao City. By the end of 2001, its operations had grown to about 80 daily flights to 18 domestic destinations.
In the 2000s, Cebu Pacific was granted rights to operate international flights to the region, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Guam. International flights were launched on November 22, 2001, with a twice-daily service to Hong Kong. On March 1, 2002, it commenced thrice-weekly flights to Seoul.[5] Other regional flights were introduced and suspended later; however, including flights to Singapore (from November 6, 2002, to January 2003) and from Manila via Subic to Seoul (from December 2002) due in part to the effects of the SARS epidemic.
