In reply to marika.

1) It’s hard for me to comment on this because I always bring US dollars with me. Since you’re going to Singapore, I think you can do with carrying Philippine pesos and exchanging it at the airport. But best to bring credit cards or ATM cards that will let you withdraw cash overseas just in case.
2) No more fees to be paid at Changi airport; all fees have been included in your fare.
3) $250 should be enough, but it would still depend on how thrifty you are, where you’re staying, and what you plan to see and do.

hi nina!

its my first time travelling abroad alone and in a tight budget
here are a few of my worries. I hope you can give me some tips on these:
1: where and when is the best time to convert currencies? is it better to convert few pesos to US dollars and convert it to sing dollars once in sinapore budget terminal?
2: shoud i pay again for the TRAVEL TAX and TERM FEE when departing singapore budget airport?
3:ill be there touring the city techinically for 2 days only in a tight budget and i won’t shop, overall how much to spend on this trip? is 250 dollar good enough?

I would really appreciate your response because i’m so anxious and confused. i’ve read a lot of travel blogs including yours for some ideas.=) ty!

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 🙂

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!

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

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 😀

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?

They don’t offer morning / early afternoon flights? Phooey.

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 😉

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!
