Cebu Pacific meanwhile launched its “P12 JUNEdependence sale” this #CEBSuperSeatFest, in an effort to encourage ‘everyJuan’ to fly more across its widest domestic network. From June 10 to 12, 2022, one can take advantage of booking tickets for as low as P12, one-way base fare, with a travel period from February 1 to May 31, 2023.

Aiming to go further, this #CEBSuperSeatFest also includes “SUPER” low rates to some international destinations as the airline ramps up its network outside the Philippines. Promo fares to Seoul, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Japan, among others, are also up for grabs during this three-day sale.
For its part, AirAsia Philippines vice president Carlo Carongoy announced that the airline is rolling out its “6.6 FREEDOM SALE,” allowing more Filipinos to win back their travel plans with loved ones, friends and family, in celebration of the 124th Philippine Independence Day.

The airline is set to resume its flights to Seoul, South Korea on June 14, with a tri-weekly flight schedule.
The 6.6 Freedom Sale lasts until the Philippines Independence Day celebration on June 12. The booking period is from June 6 to June 12, 2022 for travels happening between August 1 to December 8, 2022.
