You Can Now Book AirSWIFT Flights Through Cebu Pacific

(SPOT.ph) Cebu Pacific and AirSWIFT have fully integrated into each other's systems—i.e. you can now book direct flights to El Nido from Manila and other Cebu Pacific (CEB) hubs via the website.

If you're gearing up to explore one of the Philippines' (or the world's) best island destinations, El Nido is now closer to more Filipinos. Here's how you can take full advantage of the Cebu Pacific and AirSWIFT partnership to fuel your wanderlust.

AirSWIFT fully integrates into Cebu Pacific:

While it's been a hot minute since Cebu Pacific acquired the boutique airline, this integration is the first time since the announcement that heading to the AirSWIFT website meant getting redirected to Cebu Pacific's landing page.

Starting today, direct flights from Manila, Cebu, Coron, and Caticlan to El Nido will be officially bookable via the Cebu Pacific website. Although bookable through the CEB platform, these flights will be marked with the flight code T6, signifying that AirSWIFT operates them.

Regardless of the operator, these flights are completely accessible and manageable through the Cebu Pacific website and app. 

From Manila, seven flights travel to and from El Nido daily. The earliest flight departing Manila will be at 4:45 a.m., while the latest leaves at 6 p.m. Meanwhile, Cebu, Caticlan, and Coron will each have one direct flight to El Nido (and back) daily.

Aside from being a quicker way to travel to El Nido, the new direct flights are also significantly cheaper. Some one-way flights drop from over P11,000 to around P7,000. Given Cebu Pacific's penchant for seat sales, these rates could go even lower. 

In addition to AirSWIFT-operated flights to El Nido, Cebu Pacific is launching its own Clark flights to El Nido this March 30, offering another alternative (and possibly cheaper) way to visit the popular destination.

What happens to flights booked with AirSWIFT after the integration with Cebu Pacific?

For those who have already booked their El Nido flights prior to the integration, you're still set to fly. 

Make sure to check your emails. You’ll receive a new Itinerary Receipt with a new booking reference number from Cebu Pacific via email. This will provide you with a new reference number for your flight. With this reference number, you can further manage your booking (e.g., add baggage, select your seat, etc.) through the Cebu Pacific website and app. 

Rest assured, Cebu Pacific will still honor AirSWIFT vouchers, passes, baggage allowance, and other AirSWIFT-branded flight ancillaries, but only for AirSWIFT-operated flights. 

Alternatively, you can convert previously booked AirSWIFT trips to a non-expiring travel fund that you can use for Cebu Pacific flights.
