Cebu Air Cuts Fares Again

Air Fares Continue to Fall in The Philippines

GMA News is reporting additional fare reductions by Cebu Pacific Airlines in an effort to get the public flying again.

The lowest one-way fare to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam from Manila is now down to P299 from P1,799, while a seat to Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia has dropped to as low as P299 from P799. The cheapest Manila to Macau one-way seat has been slashed by P1,000 to P799.

This will certainly help me out. P200 is less than $6.30 at the current rate of exchange. So I can fly to Vietnam for $6.30 one way per person. Since many long term expats must leave the country every 16 months this really helps us out. I would like to go to Singapore or Bangkok but I’ll do what I need to do. I would likely need a Visa to get into Vietnam but I will check into that to be certain.
