In anticipation of high passenger traffic at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 this November and December, Cebu Pacific launched its web check-in service with free seat selection. Passengers automatically get assigned a seat for free during the web check-in process.

The airline also added flights and seat capacity to cope with demand.

“Passengers on Airbus flights can check-in online from 48 hours up to four hours before their flight, and get assigned a seat for free. We hope this added service will help minimize lines at the airport and provide added convenience to our guests,” Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution, said. 

Cebu Pacific was the first airline in the Philippines to offer web check-in services, which allows guests to check-in online and print boarding passes before the flight. This can be done through the “Manage Booking” section at its web site, www.cebupacificair.com.

Passengers on international flights with no check-in luggage need to drop by the web check-in counter for verification of travel documents at least 45 minutes before departure time.

Meanwhile, those on domestic flights with no check-in luggage may go straight to the boarding gate. These guests should be at the gate at least 30 minutes before departure time.

Passengers with check-in luggage have to drop their bags off at the web check-in counter at least 45 minutes before the flight.

“Guests who check in online can cut down time spent in queues, from the usual five to seven minutes in a regular check-in counter to only one to three minutes, depending on whether they have check-in luggage,” Iyog said.

CEB also earlier announced additional flights to accommodate demand this All Souls’ Day weekend and Christmas peak season.
