Cebu Pacific’s website and booking facilities now includes Singapore! I tried booking to see how much the fare would cost.
The promo fare (buy from July 20 – 26, travel from Aug 31 – Oct 19) amounts to PHP 6,327.00.
The non-promo fare amounts to Php 8,327.00 roundtrip.
Not bad, eh? It comes out higher than Tiger Airway’s roundtrip fares, but at least you get to fly from (the pitiful) NAIA Terminal 1. The question now is, how will their service fare compared to their competitors’?
One downside to Cebu Pacific’s new route is the time. Though they will be flying to and from Singapore daily, the timing is a bit off:
Departure from Manila is at 8:30pm, arrive in Singapore at 11:55pm
Departure from Singapore is at 12:40am, arrive in Manila at 4:05am
I suppose it’s great if you need to be in Singapore or Manila for a meeting the following day, hahaha. It’d suck if you’re paying for accommodations in Singapore because you’d be paying for a whole night when you’d only be staying for only half of it. I’m so glad I have relatives in Singapore. 
Update!
Starting December 19, 2006, Cebu Pacific will be offering TWO flights to and from Singapore.
Departing Manila:
ETD Manila 1630
ETA Singapore 2000
ETD Manila 2030
ETA Singapore 2355
Departing Singapore:
ETD Singapore 0040
ETA Manila 0405
ETD Singapore 1900
ETA Manila 2230
I found out about this when I check the fares for flights next year. How sad is my life?
Another update: August 8, 2006
It seems I have spoke blogged too soon, because when a couple of days ago, I checked the flight scheds again, and was dismayed to see that Cebu Pacific is back to one flight a day. Pffft~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like this post....
The price isn’t too bad, but isn’t Tiger Airways a much better deal? With Tiger’s fares, you can make quite a few trips out to Singapore…
…a month.
Is the service or flight accommodations more preferable on Cebu’s? I could understand paying a little extra for that & for the proximity, but I’m cheap. I dunno, I like the fares from Tiger much better from what I’ve read on here!
I haven’t tried Cebu Pacific yet, and I’ve been hearing complaints about delayed flights. But I’m thinking that’s because of the improvments being done in some of the runways.
Based on non-promo fares, Cebu Pac comes out cheaper than Tiger Airways. Plus, it’s more convienient than going to Clark.
But anyway, this definitely warrants at least one flight
They don’t offer morning / early afternoon flights? Phooey.
yes, this is good news! It’s more convenient than going to clark. But do you have any idea if they will also land on the BT airport in Singapore or at Changi’s T1 or T2?
Yup, Cebu Pacific will be landing at the Budget Terminal in Singapore, similar to Tiger Airways. Okay lang, kasi the BT is just 5 minutes away from T1/T2 and there’s a regular FREE shuttle, unlike Clark.
Mapapadalas ata ako sa Singapore
Sir/Madam,
Me and my friends are glad for your promo flight to Singapore. We are a group of four who used to travel Asia for pleasure trip. All of us are employed in the same office.
We would appreciate it very much if you could send us your promo tour, just like Tiger Airways.
Thank you very much and more power to Cebu Pacific
Hello Ms. Cristeta!
Thank you for visiting my site! Unfortunately, I am merely an independent traveller, and not affiliated in anyway with ANY airlines, be it Cebu Pacific, Tiger Airways, Jetstar, or Philippine Airlines. I just happen to monitor their promos because I am constantly looking out for them for my own travel plans and because I have no life.
I suggest you visit Cebu Pacific’s website and click on “Fun Tours”. You may also want to sign up for their mailing list to receive an e-mail announcement of all their promos. Happy travelling!

How many baggage or kilos allow for Sin/Manl and what are the departure time. Buying valid ticket for one year- do we hav to pay any charge again upon departure
Hi Eric! I personally haven’t flown international with Cebu Pacific, but I think they are allowing 20K of check-in baggage and 7K of carry-on luggage per passenger.
Philippine travel tax (Php1,620) isn’t included in the fare; you pay for it at the airport before checking in.
Departure times are listed in the post above
