    People who fly with this airline didnt choose comfort, they choose affordability.
    So, yes, this is an airline of choice for most filipinos who work abroad and wanted to go home, and still be able to spend less so they can provide it to their families.

      True, however it doesnt take away the fact that Cebu pacific could have definitely done more for their customers experience. I've flown with them a few times and service is always fantastic, however comfort of any sort was an absolute no no, they should do more for sure

      Well yeah of course. It's no different than the rest of the world's budget airlines haha trying to fit as many people to sell the seats as cheap as possible. It's an A380 with no first/business class so it's able to fit a massive load.

      @@enthusiastisch1922 I think that the reason this is not a pleasant flight is that it's cheap. It's cheaper per mile flown than Ryanair. Ryanair is a short haul airline so they have no entertainment and restricted legroom is ok for say up to 3 hours. Believe me at about the 5 hour point the pain sets in, and by 8 it does become torture, even on a flag carrier premium airline. But Filipinos are notably more resilient and accepting than westerners. If you doubt that then investigate the terrible semi captive conditions as domestic workers that many Fiilipino OFWs endure in middle Eastern countries. They accept this life with resignation in order to feed their families. The pain of this flight is small compared to the daily indignities they endure. I can only imagine the mental agony of those flying away from their homes and family but suspect that it is palpable to all on these outward OFW flights. Conversely, I suspect return journeys brim with the joy of optimism and with the hold stuffed full of balikbayen boxes (tax free gift boxes) of electrical goods and other luxuries for their families. It is little surprise that Filipinos are religious people because for many there is little reward on this earth for them other than their love of God and family! Thus I suspect they'd rather put gifts in the hold than pay for greater comfort.

    Most entertaining review I’ve seen! Lost it at the boarding song they had. Wouldn’t take this flight myself but I do like the concept. I have Filipino colleagues who worked in the Middle East before immigrating here to Canada. They would tell me stories on how they made just enough money to support family back home and that it’s common to seek jobs there. So I think this service is catered for them.

    Flights such as these are primarily for Filipino OFWs (Overseas Foreign Workers). OFWs have very limited funds and Filipinos are typically smaller in body build. As such they fit in the seats just fine (as does my wife) and are more than willing to be closer together. In point of fact, as an expat living in the Philippines, it seems to me that in the eyes of many Filipinos, being close together is just fine. (IMHO, Filipinos don't require the 'personal space' others might, even when it comes to sleeping arrangements.) I also find the seats on most airlines economy offerings way too hard on my rear and at times put the pillow under my rear. So that isn't just Cebu Pacific... it's just that YOU don't fly economy for 10 hours normally.
    The food you were served is also not meant for the typical first-worlder palate. What you ate was Filipino comfort food and the fact that there was twice as much rice as the meat portion in perfectly normal. If you ask a Filipino what they ate for their last meal, they will tell you, 'Rice!' Yes, rice is the meal and everything else is the topping.
    This is a budget Filipino flight, by Filipinos, for Filipinos. Cebu Pacific's slogan used to be..."Every Juan can Fly!"
    We fly Cebu Pacific regularly between islands here in the Philippines. Their short hop service is not without its problems, but the prices are good, the staff are good and the schedules, number of flights per day to a destination, are in most cases better than their main competitor Philippine Airlines.

      I live permanently outside Philippines now, but everytime I want to see my former officemates, college friends or if ever there's a special gathering I always chose cheaper flights, I can pay though for some decent airlines but still as Pinoy would rather save money and go for a cheap one.. 😄😄

      i was an OFW in Qatar, we were given money for an economy ticket back home once a year. Dubai should have similar benefits for workers if i'm not mistaken. Only reason these people would ride Cebu is to pocket the difference in ticket price, if office gave ticket instead of cash, Cebu sales to expat countries would slump.

    Until recently UK airlines use to operate similar configurations on long haul routes like Britannia with eight abreast (instead of normal seven abreast) on a 767, and nine abreast on the A330 with Monarch and Thomas Cook, which all use to fly 9-11 hour flights to the US, Mexico and Caribbean.

    Back in 2014 my sisters and I wanted to travel to Las Vegas but back then it was very difficult to find flights from Venezuela to pretty much everywhere else. A friend of my sister who worked in a travel agency found us tickets to Madrid so we took them, but she only could find with Conviasa (the Venezuelan state owned company) and the flights to Madrid were a charter flight with planes and crew from Air Asia X and that flight was an AWFUL 8 hour flight and 9 hours the return flight. The configuration was 3+3+3 with narrow seats like those with no entertainment screens and we also took the emergency seats but we didn't had that problem with the door killing the legroom of the window passenger.

One flight I made in this A330 from Manila to Hong Kong and it was OK as well. In general I would say cebu pacific is a good low cost airline. The planes are in a very condition and pretty new. Better than any flight with an 15 year old Boeing with broken seats on delta

He had never flown cebu pacific because it was not that available even before he retired way back 2015, should it be, i would have asked him to fly in it instead so we could share more to others. Btw he always flew Emirates and Saudia. Laughing at something you find below "your standard"but means more to others. And we thank Cebu Pacific for their "cheap service" because they help OFWs to go home and be with their loved ones after years of being away just to make ends meet for their family. Regardless of how cruel and bad you think it is, but we are resilient and always look on a good side, to be with the people we love. :)

    May I ask what were you expecting for a LCC that’s usually much cheaper than Ryanair? The market they target is normally for the expats or domestic helpers returning to PH or to the Middle East. Although you were unlucky with the seat booking, I would have moved seats and just claimed a refund for the seat selection afterwards. Unless the booking wasn’t really for an extra leg seat.
    Cebu Pacific are a great airline for getting you to A-B. The best thing I like is you can take your own snacks on board, unlike some other LCC around Asia. Unless this has changed.
