Cebu Pacific Air
reviews and complaints

It's generally the entire country, most of them are very hospitable when it comes to foreign tourists but I observe the opposite when they manage concerns for their fellow Filipinos. What's worst about Cebu Pacific is that they are the most unreliable airline there is in the Philippines and probably also in the entire world. Your flights are generally delayed, please train and OBLIGE your staff to be extra patient and try their best to make it up with their passengers all the time. And then your staff face passengers like "we know the rules and even if you complain about us it will not do us any harm..." -- what type of conflict management is that? This airline is very inconsistent, don't ever fall for any of their marketing efforts. You pay a centavo and you get half a centavo worth of service. Cheap price, cheap service, cheap staff.

To the Management,

I would like to file a complain regarding your service, I have booked a flight for my wife with booking reference # ZL9V8K. I tried to do web check in but it seems that there is no button to do the said check in both web and mobile platforms. I did tried to reach out to your customer service with chat reference: 6781389 and was able to chat with your agent Judil, however all she can say is apologies... no solution whatsoever it seems like I am talking to a chatbot.

I booked your airline as I do not have other options on the said route. Also I need this web check in feature as this is convenient for my wife not to do the long queue as she has back problems. I hope your airline can be more considerate enough to the customers convenience.

lastly I have made a 32kgs additional baggage allowance and the guest officer told my wife that she can only check in 1 baggage. her allowance is 32Kgs, why can she check in 2 baggages, she has a medical condition for this matter. I hope you can be more reasonable on your policies.

Sir/ Maam, can I request for a copy of my boarding pass for the flight I took or travel certificate to be a proof that I boarded for the said flight This will be used for the reimbursement of the airfare and other travelling expenses.

My travel fund refund is not yet credited to date and now it is already expired! I have been making follow ups to no avail. Not even the commin decency to reply to my email sent to said company. Company already closed the complaint without even resolving the issue, hence I filed for another complaint.. Which resulted to nothing to date!

Booking ref nos. Oc7k3s;vjz1kq orig expiry date 3/15/22 amt: 12,358.28

I have a flight at 9:50am from Zamboanga to Manila and was changed by the airline to 12:35 without any reason. Next, I check-in online to avoid crowding in the airport and was asked to print PERSONALLY my baggage tag on their machine near the counter before I could drop off my luggage, I did anyway. But the problem now, I was in flight 5J 860 but my check-in luggage was in flight 5J 852 which is so stressful on my part. Now, stuck here waiting for my luggage. I already did compromise my appointment today by agreeing to the changes on my flight, but it's too much to be waiting here in NAIA terminal 3 because of your incompetent and messed up work.🤬🤬🤬

Dear Ma’am/Sir,

I need help with my booking flight. I need to change my flight but It went error when I tried to rebook. Then I got confirmation email that they save my rebooking changes. Now I’m stuck on pay now button. I did not confirm my flight yet but they automatically save it for me. I need to change the flight but I cannot rebook it again.

I want to contact them but they put me on hold and I want to email them but no email address provided in the website. Please help to fix my problem. I need to edit my flight reference # BB6EPI . Thank you

I have made a booking for 3 people on. Certain date and then after a few hours I received an email to state that my flight is cancelled for a date that I did not book and then I checked my itinerary that as sent long with the email and the dates are wrong so I called cebu pacific straight away. Once my call was answered fret 4 attempts and on hold for a minimum of 45mins each call and then the call gets disconnected so I still tried and called being patient and finally get the fourth call mind you I have been waiting for 2.5hrs before my call was answered and I chatted with the staff and then the supervisor with my issues, I was told no you have to pay extra 5000+ pesos more or equivalent to almost another $200 they staff said that I need to pay and then they’ll put my booking back to the dates I want and when I asked for explanation why was my booking change as we re discussing the issue they could not explicitly anything to but they want me yo pay more or if I can the flights which I did at the end they told me I need to wait minimum 2 months to get my refund and this can even go 7 months or longer. I told them I am not waiting that long and also I have contacted my bank and my bank was happy to give me the refund as long as I provide them a confirmation letter yo state that my booking was cancelled by the airline and also to state that I have paid it in full with my name on the letter to state that I was the account holder. Well yo keep this complaint short I told by the airline in a nicer way tough luck you have to wait and once we have processed your claim and completed it will send you email and you can show that yo your bank hello after how many months and you have already completed the refund you want me to go to my bank to get a refund, come on cebu pacific wake up and get your act together and hope one day you will provide a better customer service because currently I can tell you you are -100 in your customer service. I have attached a photo evident that this is the date have put my flight and given the wrong information on the itinerary and contacted cebu pacific straight away but I was told they can’t do anything unless I pay more.

I made a booking for my family(6 members) today May 28, 2022 for the flight bound for Manila-Cotabato, for July 8, 2022. I completed the payment section but the message pop out that my booking was unsuccessful. Just then my bank sent me a message that I made a payment for Cebu Pacific. By the way I am currently here in United Arab Emirates.

Please find the attached file for the proof of payment of the said booking.

My email address: [protected]@yahoo.com

Dear Cebu Pacific,

Please advise how I can change the name erroneously enrolled in my email address submitted to Cebu Pacific. The name I enrolled is that of my maid (Rea Jane) for whom I bought a ticket for Davao City some years ago.

I have been using my email address when buying tickets which i have been doing on a regular basis.

Is It possible for you to replace the name which has been registered under my email address?

I am wary about cancelling this account as I have pending flights this year.

I have a booking for last July 2020, however, pandemic came and everything was canceled, so I decided to call Cebu Pac and convert it to a travel fund, I did not request to be refunded. Then I was hospitalized and needed to have a major operation last year, 2021, I was on bed rest and needed to rest, I was advised to avoid any activity, and I was ongoing treatment, It was only until 6 days ago that I decided to check on my mails, as I do not check emails, especially I was on a middle of my treatment and does not have time for that, Of course, I will have to worry about my health first, I don't even check SocMed as well. It was only then that I found out that my travel fund has expired. I tried to reach out to you but to no avail, I filed to your customer feedback, but no answer for 6 days now. I tried to reach out to an agent via live chat and said that you do not extend the validity. I believe I have a valid reason, What about your customers who does not check emails regularly like me due to ongoing treatments? Can we at least get a call and let us know about it not just in email? But I did not receive any call from you. If only I have known I would not let it go to waste, this is my hard-earned money and it's very painful for me to lose it like that. I am now permitted to travel, I want to use it, at least give me this chance. Please, this not a small amount, this is 23,000Php worth of money that I have paid in full. I can let it go if this is only for a couple of thousands. I've worked hard for this. I have all the proof. I have medical records, and my health situation for the past months. Please do not let it all go to waste. I am just asking for your understanding.

Hi. Can anyone help me. How come na kapag gagamitin ko ang travel fund to pay, not existing daw yung booking reference ko. Also tried to make a MyCebuPacific Account para matransfer ung travel fund yet, kapag ilalagay na ung booking reference number, does not exist na naman. Bakit po kaya ganun? Samantalang nung di pa nagbabago ang website, andun naman ung travel fund ko?

I'm an ofw coming from a long tiring flight with almost 3 days of no sleep wala na akong energy para balikan Yung mga empleyado nyong bastos.

May 22, 2022 was my flight from Manila to Bacolod at around 9:20am. Maaga ako nag check in since galing pa ako sa previous flight ko from Jeddah and wala ako tulog for 12hrs since night before ako dumating.

I went to check in my Luggages sa Naia terminal 3 I had 40kilos total of check in luggage. I approach the counter na wala ng pila. It was a chubby girl she was not nice at all but I ignored it since pagod na ako. She complained Kung ano daw ba Laman ng mga Luggages ko at ang bigat. Mind you I was the one who lift it up para masampa ko sa counter nya at makilo nya all she needs to do is put a tag and hilahin papunta dun sa dulo para ma check in. I answered her politely and smile galing ko along ibang bansa those are pasalubong po. Which I now realize I did not have to explain. [censored] I paid for that 40kilos para reklamohan mo ako. Yet again pagod na ko and all I want is to get this over with. Her response was just aahhhh and gave me my claim stubs.

Papasok na ako sa Departure area when 2 employees stopped me and took my boarding pass. They ask if I already used up my 40kilos and I told them yes I already checked in my 2 luggages. BTW I was carrying a small trolley and backpack as my handcarry. They told me I need to check in again my small trolley because it's not allowed to have more than 1 hand carry. I obliged and went back to the check in counter but the girl that I talked earlier is already attending other customers so I moved to the counter beside na kakatapos Lang sa customer and it was a guy. He ask me ano daw problem ko. I told him pinabalik ako nung sa departure entrance kasi gusto I pa check on Yung small trolley ko. He asked me to put it in the scale to check the weight it's almost 8kilos and he told me since I used up my 40kilos I need to pay this one which is 200 pesos per kilo he then multipled it and told me I should pay 2400. I told him that's too much I ask him if I can put my backpack inside since hinde naman masyado Laman ng backpack it's just personal things like charger wallet documents that I can easily get. He told me its up to you but this bag will be bulky and then still might not allow you to get inside or pwde mag makaawa ka na lang sa kanila at sabihin mo "wala ka ng Pera to pay for it or di Kaya di mo afford na bayaran para papasukin ka nila". I was shocked when he told me that I was being nice the whole time to him and the other girl who questioned me. I told him hinde naman sa hinde afford but it's too much ang OA naman. But he responded again ay hinde, hinde mo talaga afford and his still murmuring some words na hinde ko na intindi and I just left the counter without saying anything. I went outside fix my small trolley and backpack to fit it to one went to another entrance na ibang guard Yung nag babantay that didn't even bat an eye to look at my boarding pass got inside the departure area without paying the extra 2400 of my hard earned money.

BTW when boarding time they are offering you to check in your hand carry Luggages for FREE no payment required if you like para wala Kang dala inside the plane.

If nag padala ako sa bastos na employee na yun I would have paid the amount that he asked me for nothing since I can get the service for free.

I think all he wants to do is to intemidate me so that he can asked me to pay for the amount and who knows Kung talagang I de declare nya yun or he will get the money. Good thing hinde ako nag padala sa mga sinasabi nya.

I will still travel back to Manila since I'm just on vacation and I will look for that employee again and make sure I will get his name and photo if possible. How many people can be his victim of this scam. Cebu pac you should orient your employees especially in dealing with the customers

Cebu Pacific Air - Request Travel Certificate due to lost boarding pass

13 days ago, I booked in cebupac and paid using gcash. No booking appeared and no itinirary emailed after payment was taken. It was only validated after a couple of days after reaching out through chat and in fb. Then when the booking appeared on app, it was saying that because it was a combination payment with gcash and travel fund, I have to pay the remaining amount outside the gcash payment. But the travel fund was not returned, so made the payment of 11 pesos and 11 cents using gcash again and almost a week now, that payment is yet to be vaidated. Im using gcash cz I dont want to use my atm. Debit card. If this mode of payment is not reliant for cebupac, remove gcash on yout app. Now

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this email to humbly appeal for an incident happened last May 13,2022 in General Santos Airport for my Cebu Pacific Flight PJ 996 bound to Manila. I received an email that my flight was rescheduled from 11:10Am to 1:25PM which is still having enough time to catch my International Flight to Dubai.

My International flight booked through Emirates was paid by company as part of my annual yearly ticket benefits so I can't choose any other airline for this. My booking for my Manila-Gensan Flight was the only one I can book.

I am humbly asking for a request for assistance for the said matter, there is in the flight which affected my original booking for my international flight to Manila - Dubai which is schedule at 6:00PM.

Due to the delay of Cebu Pacific which is supposed to depart at 1:25PM and then later left the General Santos Airport at 6:00pm due to a mechanical issue of PJ 996 Fleet. Because of this, I wasn't able to catch my International flight and was forced to rebook my ticket of my International Flight to Dubai. My company can't anymore cover the cost of the rebooking since we only have an annual ticket allowance and they will not shoulder the rebooking cost to whatever reason due to a technical failure of one aircraft.

As you can see, I just borrowed to a person the amount of AED 1,880 which is around 26,800php to rebook my ticket since I need to come back to my job on time else I will lose my job which is the only source of income for my father who is battling Stage 5 Liver Cirrhosis and is undergoing hemodialysis 3x a week at Nursia Dialysis Center Koronadal City.

I am knocking on your hearts to kindly hear this appeal and request for refund assistance. as what you can see I only came back home due to the operation of my son's undescended testicle and needs to be operated as soon as possible to avoid complication. I attached my due credit to the Hospital since I am not able to pay the full amount of the bills. In line with this I am requesting to please reconsider the amount I borrowed due to delay of one of your Cebu Pacific aircraft. I am an OFW who is the breadwinner of the family and this incident and to borrow another amount almost near 27,000php is really really hard for me considering I have to support my father's medication and also, I have a Hospital Bill to pay.

I am asking your kind consideration for the above said request. I am writing this email not only as your valued customer in Cebu Pacific but also a daughter and a mother who is trying my best to support my family and an additional burden of 27,000php due to delay of your aircraft is way too much for me especially on my condition right now.

I hope you will hear my request and can help me resolve this matter the earliest.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best Regards,

Liza Jane Rodriguez

So, I am planning to book a trip when I heard about Japan opening its borders to tourists. I am extremely excited about it that last Tuesday, May 10, 2022 I searched for flights on google for Bacolod to Narita round trip tickets and I found trips that I like. I clicked the itinerary and booked it by Cebu Pacific airline. While putting all my contact information and the payment I thought everything is doing well until when I confirmed the payment and saw that it was a one-way ticket only. Tried to contact customer service right away to cancel this flight because it's not been 24hours since I booked these tickets. Tried to message them via email and Instagram if someone can help me. It's been a hell of a day for me waiting for nothing and when I have the chance to talk to their online chat on Facebook for almost a day of waiting and just to tell me that I cannot cancel these flights because I don't have the Cebgo Flexi. And also the weird part is I didn't receive any confirmation email from them a couple of hours after I booked the ticket. I am frustrated to the point that they are not so helpful and they're not even trying to help me. I am certain that there is a problem with the website when I booked those tickets because I always make sure when I book tickets I always double-checked everything. It's just frustrating that they have this policy just to gain more profit and to think they don't follow the cancellation within 24hrs. Until now, I am thinking of ways just to cancel these tickets and trying to reach out regarding this matter.
