Cebu Pacific Zero Fare Promo



Cebu Pacific offers zero fare to ALL its domestic and international flights. Promo runs from May 15-18, 2008 and is valid for travel from June 9 - Dec. 31, 2008.

When I received an alert, I was so excited and started to look at the calendar for an appropriate date (most probably with holidays) for longer vacation. I am hoping this time I can grab a seat for my first international flight.

Fare is for free but we still need to pay for an applicable fuel taxes and surcharges. And of course, a lot cheaper than a regular fare.
