Cebu Pacific extends unli rebooking until March 31, 2021

Budget carrier Cebu Pacific on Monday extended anew its unlimited rebooking to cover flights until the end of March 2021, noting that it may take time before confidence to travel may be restored amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an advisory, Cebu Pacific said passengers traveling until March 31, 2021 may rebook their flights as many times as they want, subject to differences in fares.

They may also choose to put the full cost of their ticket into a travel fund valid for two years with rebooking and cancellation fees waived.

"We will continue to monitor the operating environment and listen to the concerns of our passengers. We are encouraged by the reopening of domestic tourism and we will do our part in ensuring that our passengers travel with peace of mind," Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and customer experience Candice Iyog.

"We understand that it may take time before trust and confidence in air travel is restored, that is why we have decided to extend our flexible booking options until the first quarter of 2021," she added.

Commercial air travel to and from Metro Manila has been restricted since March, and only resumed in June, after the easing of the community quarantine.

Cebu Pacific, along with other carriers Air Asia and the Philippine Airlines, earlier appealed for the government to provide P8.6 billion in assistance to the airline industry given losses incurred during the period.—AOL, GMA News
