September 9, 2014 - This marks the start of Cebu Pacific long-haul service (Manila-Sydney) in Australia. The airline is the only low-cost carrier operating the route. Filipinos based in Sydney are really fortunate. They need not to to travel via Darwin (Jetstar), Singapore (Scoot) or Malaysia (Air Asia) just to avail of a low-cost or a budget airlines. The arrival of Cebu Pacific is an alternative to another Philippine carrier, Philippine Airlines, which also operates on the same route. Last month, I was able to book my parents-in-law to fly Cebu Pacific in going to Sydney. They will be here to be with us as they were fortunate to be given a one-year visa as tourists. Cebu Pacific lowest all-inclusive year-round fare for Sydney is as low as P12,150. Seat sale fares go as low as P4,999, all-in.
