Cebu Pacific: Manila - Taipei (P888)

Cebu Pacific Air flies from Manila to Taipei for only P888 one-way!

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the Philippine’s leading domestic airline, will start flying a direct service from Manila to Taipei, Taiwan starting June 13, 2007 with a special introductory offer of only P888 one-way. The Taipei seat sale will run from March 21 to 27, 2007.

The Manila -Taipei service will be operated using CEB’s brand new Airbus A320 aircraft and is scheduled to operate daily. The flight departs from Manila at 11:10am, arriving in Taipei at 1:10pm. The flight then leaves Taipei at 1:55pm and arrives back in Manila at 3:55pm. CEB will operate from Chang Kai Shek International Airport in Taipei.

The airline will launch its Manila –Taipei service with a seat sale fare of only P888 one-way, a price cut of almost 85% from the current fares for this route. This promo will run from March 21 to 27, 2007 and is good for travel from June 13 to September 30, 2007. Fare is exclusive of surcharges and government tax.

“We hope that with the opening of this new regional destination, we will further encourage travel for both leisure and business sectors. Our Manila-Taipei offering will also provide better access for local residents of both countries to learn English and Mandarin, as they further assimilate themselves with the rich cultures both countries have to offer.” Lance Gokongwei, CEB President and CEO said.

Can you imagine how affordable this will be for Overseas Filipino Workers and their families? Because of Cebu Pacific, air travel has become a more viable option for Filipinos.

What can you see in Taipei? Taipei's business and tourist attractions include the National Palace Museum, Longshan Temple and Lin Family Museum and Garden and Taipei 101 – The world’s tallest building, symbolizing Taipei’s tremendous progress from its humble start as a valley and farming village beside the Danshui River.

Taiper represents Cebu Pacific's eighth international destination, and this expansion program shows Cebu Pacific's unwavering commitment to bringing air travel closer to more Filipinos, by constantly providing the lowest fares to any destination CEB flies to.

After the seat sale, the lowest ‘Go’ fare to Taipei starts from P1,999 one-way, still more than 60% lower than the current fares for this route. The best way to purchase tickets is through CEB airline’s website (www.cebupacificair.com), though this is also available through CEB ticket offices and accredited travel agents.

Now in its 12th year, CEB has the youngest fleet in the Philippines with a fleet age of less than a year. CEB operates 14 brand new Airbus aircraft to its 20 domestic and soon to be 8 regional destinations.
