It looks like there is an undeclared war of seat sales between airline companies especially for tomorrow's celebration of Mother's Day. It was started by Air Philippines with it's Mama's(yal) Day Special. And now, Cebu Pacific is having its One INA Million Seat Sale.
I didn't see this ad in Cebu Pacific's website this morning. Hence, I was not able to blog this earlier. I guess, just like with Air Philippines, this ad was published in the papers first before it was posted in their website.
Anyway, unlike Air Philippines' promo, Cebu Pacific's sale caters also to international destinations, particularly, neighboring Asian countries, or what Philippine Airlines termed as regional flights. The rates, however, are not readily comparable as Philippine Airline's uses U.S. dollars as its currency rate of exchange.
On the other hand, domestic destinations on sale include, but not limited to, Manila to Palawan and vice versa (v.v.). With this route, however, the promo rate of P699 has not even beaten, if not matched, Air Philippines' seat sale of P499.
In fairness to Cebu Pacific, there are destinations on sale that are not found at Air Philippine's promo. This includes, but not limited to, Cebu to Butuan (v.v.) and Cebu to Surigao (v.v.). With the promo rate of P499, my fellow Surigaonons in Surigao should not miss this chance if they have plans of going to Cebu during the promo's travel period. If I'm not mistaken, ship's fare for the same route is priced as high as P800+.
Need to think it over? Hurry up as the promo will end on May 11, or three days from now. :)
