Cebu Pacific opens up baggage requirements

Cebu Pacific has announced a special deal for passengers travelling from Guam to Manila, and back — perfect for bringing “pasalubong,” or gifts, to friends and family, or shopping for Filipino delicacies to bring back home.

Starting this September up until Dec. 15, 2017, all passengers flying between Guam and Manila who prepurchase baggage allowance of 40 kilograms will get an additional 25 kilograms, free of charge. That’s a total of 65 kilograms, or 143 pounds of check-in baggage — equivalent to the weight of a ‘balikbayan box.’ The free baggage allowance will be added upon check-in at the airport.

“We are excited to offer Guamanians traveling to and from the Philippines a free top-up on their 40-kilogram baggage allowance, up to a maximum 25 kilograms. This will allow our guests to make room for more presents, or for Filipino treats they will surely come to enjoy. There’s less reason to worry about excess baggage, and more reason to stock up on great finds in the Philippines,” said Candice Iyog, vice president for marketing and distribution at Cebu Pacific.

Cebu Pacific started flying between Manila and Guam in March 2016.

CEB currently flies up to three times weekly to and from Guam, offering seamless connections to a total of 37 domestic and 26 other international destinations across Asia, Australia, USA, and the Middle East.
