Travel Light
Philippine Air Carrier, Cebu Pacific Air, announced that they are reducing their ticket prices in order to stimulate travel from the local populace despite the high price of cost fuel.
Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Air vice-president for marketing said:
We are not doing this to undercut anyone but because our own business model can sustain this structure[source]
How are they able to do this? Maybe it’s because Cebu Pacific Domestic Flight baggage allowance was reduced to 20kg from the allotted 30kg before. And excess baggage charges have increased from P30/kg to P50/kg.
So?, time to start wearing your luggage… 3 layers of clothing should be enough, eh? *snicker*
Yeah, It’s becoming obvious that I’ve been ferrying a lot of people to the airport lately… hehehe

I think 20kg is more than enough ^^
yun nga lang, if you’re planning to give pomelo to all your friends in your destination then kulang talaga hehehe.
PAL with PAL express only allows 10kgs! Imagine? This is understandable for small planes, but I think some manila-davao planes are even included. The one I took which was under code-sharing with AirPhil implemented the 10kg limit. 3 unsuspecting travellers almost were charged excess when their luggages totalled to 26kgs. The attendant thought there were only 2 of them kaya dapat 20kgs. lang daw! Surely, they’ll try to make money out from this.
10kgs… Wow!, that’s small… tama ka, travellers should be really wary of the updated baggage allowances.
I saw in CNN today that some US Carriers are also planning to change their baggage schemes. Some will start charging extra per bag.
:D
