Why I Hope I’ll Never Fly Cebu Pacific Again

April 9, 2011 by The Sunset Goddess 10 Comments

Why I Hope I Never Fly Cebu Pacific Again 1

I have proclaimed many times over that if it’s all up to me, I hope to never fly on a Cebu Pacific flight ever again. Especially on a domestic flight.

In 2010 alone, I flew on Cebu Pacific (domestic) six times and twice again in February 2011. And I hope that will be my last. My reasons are many but ultimately, simple. And it’s time I share them here.

These are my top reasons why I don’t want to fly on Cebu Pathetic Pacific:

1. I don’t want Cebu Pacific to cancel and reroute my flight ever again.

In a span of less than a year, I had been rerouted by Cebu Pacific not just once and not just twice, but thrice. The first time was in August 2010 when I went home to Samar to be bridesmaid in a family friend’s wedding. I was supposed to fly in via Calbayog City on August 20 but a few weeks before my departure, they sent an SMS and informed me that my flight had been rerouted to Tacloban. They told me that the next available flight to Calbayog (CYP) was on August 25. That of course was not an option!

 

To give you a quick background on the geography and the implications of the rerouting, Calbayog is a city in the province of Samar while Tacloban is a city in Leyte, a totally different province. If my memory serves me right, the distance between Calbayog and Tacloban is about 100 kilometers. In practical terms, Calbayog is about an hour’s travel to my house in Pagsanghan (a municipality in Samar). On the other hand, it will take me three to four hours of travel from Tacloban to Pagsanghan. And more land travel time will naturally translate to higher costs. Not to mention the inconvenience.
Then the next set of re-routings was in February 2011, also on my flights to and from Calbayog. More than a month before my February 16, 2011 flight, I received email and SMS notifications that my flights to and from Calbayog had been canceled due to an “aircraft situation”. What the hell does that mean? When I asked, the customer service representative on the phone had no idea. TYPICAL. The next available flight to Calbayog was several days away from the original date. Of course, I had no choice but to fly in and out via Tacloban instead. I asked for a PAL ticket but I was told that’s not possible.

 

Because several members of my family were going home due to our town fiesta celebrations and the wedding of my cousin at the time, other members of my family were also victimized—my brother and my tita (aunt). My cousin and her husband were also rerouted on their CYP-MNL flight when they went home to Samar for their wedding preparations in November 2010. In other words, namumuro na talaga ang Cebu Pacific sa pamilya namin.

 

I sent an email to Cebu Pacific customer service (customerservice@cebupacific.com) detailing my experiences and my complaints. But I NEVER RECEIVED ANY REPLY. NO APOLOGY WHATSOEVER.
Those were the facts. Now here are my thoughts and rants:
  • I really don’t know why this keeps on happening on flights to and from Calbayog. I don’t know if this also happens on other domestic routes. Since nobody from Cebu Pacific gave me an explanation, then I will give my hypothesis on my blog. For the rerouting in August 2010, I think it was because they anticipated high traffic on the domestic route on that date. They canceled the CYP flight as soon as it was announced that August 23 (Monday) was a non-working holiday, making August 20 (Friday) fall on a long weekend. The aircraft used for CYP flights (ATR 72-500) are the same ones used for their Caticlan/Boracay route since they’re smaller and can ply the Caticlan airport better. So this is the “AIRCRAFT SITUATION” after all? They’d rather anger their CYP passengers and reroute them to either Catarman (in Northern Samar) or Tacloban rather than lose money on the highly profitable Boracay route? Bad!
  • If they don’t want to or cannot serve the CYP route, they should not service the route at all. Rather than service the route and reroute the passengers once they’ve booked, I wish they’d open up the route to other airlines. Airphil Express and Zest Air also fly to and from Calbayog but not on a daily basis due to the presence of Cebu Pacific.
  • When Cebu Pacific canceled my flights, they always readily informed me the next available flight to Calbayog—which always turned out to be a week away. That only makes me angrier because WHY will I even book my flight on X date when I could fly in at Y date instead?! Cebu Pacific, your attempt at appeasing customers is pathetic. The type where I don’t know if I will lash out or laugh. There is a reason why I booked that flight on that specific date—a reason that’s been carefully planned and executed, supported by a vacation leave form in my office—a vacation leave date that has been scheduled months in advance and takes 4 approving signatories in order to be final. I am a busy professional with a day job and if I book a flight on August 20, 2010 Friday, that means it’s the ONLY time and date that I can ever travel. So much so that I will have no choice but to have myself rerouted and go on a 4 hour land trip just to get to my destination. I cannot change the dates of other people’s weddings or the celebration of a town festival just because Cebu Pacific has to cancel its flights. Shouldn’t that be obvious?
  • I have also asked myself, “Do I have a right to complain considering that my fares were super cheap?” For my February 2011 trip, I booked my flights way back in June 2010, taking advantage of Cebu Pacific’s Piso Fare promo. This was what I told Cebu Pacific customer service in my email:

“As you will see, while I paid P297.20 only for my flights because I availed of the promo fares, it is not in any way my fault that you will have to rebook me on your other flights. So you cannot justify to me that the higher rates on the rerouted flights are enough compensation for what you will put me through. What is the use of these promo fares then? If you cannot guarantee the stability of your flight schedules or the safety of your planes, then do not make it possible for consumers to book flights months prior to the scheduled flights.”

Actually for my August 2010 flight, I really ended up paying more. Because at the time that I booked my CYP flight, the fare for Tacloban was cheaper. Add that to the transportation expenses and the stress and inconvenience that I had to endure, well, I really did suffer actual and moral damages!I can stop this blog post here because I think my Reason #1 is REASON ENOUGH. But for good measure, here are my other reasons/rants:

2. I don’t ever want to experience the hassles of Cebu Pacific’s check-in and strict rules on baggage allowances again.

In May 2010, I was on a Cebu Pacific flight to Legazpi with work colleagues and bosses for an office workshop. When we were already checking in, we were told that we can’t pool in or combine our individual baggage allowance (15 kilos each) because we didn’t book as a group. One of us was bringing a super big luggage filled with all the alcohol and chips for the seminar and the weight was therefore way beyond her 15 kilo allowance. Our bookings were handled by our travel agent, who booked some of us individually and in groups of up to 2 or 3 only. However, the rule on not allowing the combination of our baggage allowance was not indicated anywhere in our itinerary receipt.

Since I was the one in charge of handling the flights, I told the check-in agent that we were not informed of this rule by our travel agent and asked the check-in agent to talk to his supervisor. And I also couldn’t help but drop the “L” word—as in L for lawyers. I told him that he simply shouldn’t make this difficult for all of us since he was going to be arguing against their 15 passengers who all happen to be lawyers (one of whom is our name partner and is known to be very, very demanding when it comes to his consumer rights). The check-in agent talked to his supervisor and we were not charged for excess baggage, just like that. But I’m thinking it was because we were a big group. And because of the L word.

Cebu Pacific has also been implementing a common check-in counter system. My experience of this system during my recent flight in February meant that I had to wait longer before I could check in:
Why I Hope I Never Fly Cebu Pacific Again 2

For early morning flights, I used to make it a point to go the airport only 1 to 1 1/2 hours before the flight because I don’t like waiting at pre-boarding more than I have to. But with long lines such as these when flying Cebu Pacific, you better make sure that you’re in the airport at least 2 hours before the flight.

Why I Hope I Never Fly Cebu Pacific Again 3
There were ground crew who would shout out the destinations whose check-in counter were about to close. Then they would make the passengers cut the line to check in. I don’t find this efficient. And those who were early for their flights are in effect, punished for being early. And what if you don’t hear the ground crew shouting your destination? (Don’t wear your ipods people!)

My other bad experiences with Cebu Pacific’s check-in/baggage procedures include having my carry on luggage being rejected despite complying with measurements and having myself weighed (cargo??).

3. I don’t want to experience the horror stories of other Cebu Pacific passengers.
In my rantings to my friends about my horror stories, I have also heard about their own Cebu Pacific horror stories. Or the horror stories of their friends.

  • My friend Marco told me that his friend was not able to get on the plane because he arrived at the airport 1 hour before his flight. When the friend reasoned that Cebu Pacific’s rule is that they close check-in counters 45 minutes before the flight, Cebu Pacific said that he should have been in the airport 2 hours before the flight and not 1 hour before.
  • When my friend was vacationing in Ilocos, it was only when their group arrived in the Laoag airport that they were informed by Cebu Pacific that their flight was going to be canceled because one of the plane’s windows broke—something that Cebu Pacific knew hours before. My friend had to demand that they pay for their accommodation for the overnight stay in Laoag because Cebu Pacific didn’t even offer to do so.
  • Julie was in Boracay and was still lounging and relaxing by the beach in the morning when Cebu Pacific called her on her cellphone and told her that her afternoon flight was moved up and that her flight was leaving in an hour. She had to scramble to pack her stuff in order to make it to her flight on time.
  • When A. and I went to Boracay in May 2010, we met so many people from our hotel who were rerouted from Caticlan to Kalibo because of the strong winds and Cebu Pacific’s planes could not land in Caticlan. That’s aircraft situation for you
  • One well-respected blogger, Market Man of Market Manila, also has so many rants against Cebu Pacific. You can read them here , here, and here. I haven’t searched yet but I will bet there are already so many rants against Cebu Pacific immortalized online. (Found this too).
What did all of this teach me? Well, I learned that just because it’s cheaper doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get a better deal. Sometimes, you will end up paying more than if you had paid full price. I may have scored so many Cebu Pacific promo fares but I eventually ended up paying more for my other transportation expenses due to the rerouting of my flights. You could have saved on your original fare but Cebu Pacific is known to bleed their passengers dry through rebooking fees and excess baggage fees.

I know that Cebu Pacific is a budget airline and it even prides itself on its low prices so that “every Juan” can fly. However, that shouldn’t be an excuse for UNRELIABLE service and bad customer relations. And I have learned that with Cebu Pacific, convenience will come at a price. Stress is a fixture in my job. And I refuse to add any more stress to my life just to save on airfare.

On the rerouting of the flights, I have already examined Cebu Pacific’s General Terms and Conditions of Carriage of Passengers and Baggage. It contains the following stipulation: “The Airline may change at any time and from time to time the regular schedule of any flight or postpone a flight to any day other than the scheduled day.” That may be their loophole right there but as a lawyer, I’m trained to look beyond that stipulation and I know I have several causes of action against them for the damages caused me. And the question remains, how come this only happens to me when I fly Cebu Pacific?

But beyond the legal implications, I choose instead to engage this situation as a consumer and through the blogging platform. As a consumer, I know there is a better way to deal with this. The most important lesson I have learned from this is realizing that I HAVE A CHOICE. And I will exercise that ultimate power by simply not going on any more Cebu Pacific flights*. They can’t have any more of my money, even if it’s as small as P1.00. Or P297.20. And more so if it’s more than that.
Cebu Pacific vs. PAL

We have a choice!

As a consumer, what can I do? Fly PAL, Airphil Express, SEA Air, or Zest Air on domestic flights instead. I will schedule my trips to Samar around the schedules of other airlines flying to Calbayog if I have to just so that I won’t rerouted again! Or if I have no choice but to fly in via Tacloban, then I’ll do it only on PAL, by choice and not on Cebu Pacific by compulsion.

 Philippine Airlines vs. Cebu Pacific

So yes, I will pray that the labor disputes of PAL will be resolved soon. Because we travelers need PAL and need the industry to be competitive. Because we need a choice, a choice other than Cebu Pacific! And I will tell you a secret right here. I used to think that PAL was so much more expensive but I was pleasantly surprised with their Econolight fares—budget fares without the budget feel, without the budget service, without the budget passengers!

My last flight on PAL was to and from a domestic destination on Econolight for only about P2,500.00. No hiccup except for a flight delay. On my PAL flight before that, I flew to Kalibo on business class. We were treated to the Mabuhay Lounge, super roomy seats, in-flight meals, and the priority baggage carousel. Without any flight attendant hawking instant noodles and souvenir items. And we got all of that business class luxury for FREE because of my companion’s Mabuhay Miles. Now that certainly beats Cebu Pacific’s Piso Fares.

 PAL Business Class

Plus, the flight attendants are prettier/cuter, with classier clothes than the Cebu Pacific FAs! Don’t you think?
I have flown on an international flight with Cebu Pathetic only once (the horror story on that flight deserves another post). The rest were with PAL. And I hope that statistic doesn’t change, except if I fly other international airlines 🙂
PAL vs. Cebu Pacific
I want to know if you agree with me on my stand. And if you have horror stories, share them too! Let me know what you think. Leave a comment. Or email me at sunsetgoddessmanila@yahoo.com.

Wishing all of us more travels!

*Applies most definitely to domestic flights. For international flights, I will re-evaluate!

    Me, too… CebuPac cancelled our flight from Coron to Manila due to “weather” (both CebPac flights were cancelled) – the amazing thing: AirPhils & Zestair continued ALL their 4 flights that day!!! Now because it was due to “weather” and supposedly force majeur, they REFUSED to cover ANY expense whatsoever before the next available flight, which ranged from 2 to 4 days later!!!

    Hi Anonymous June 1 12:06 AM. I’m sorry to hear about what happened to you on your Cebu Pac flight. They should have covered your expenses (hotel, food) before the next available flight. It appears that Cebu Pac really has a problem with their domestic flights/ scheduling. Boo!

    This is so true. I’ve learned that in my undergrad. That’s why I refuse to fly Cebu Pacific. I have my share of horror stories flying in and out of Cagayan de Oro so many times. Kaya… no more Cebu pacific na!
