CebuPac to passengers: Allot sufficient travel time
IN LIGHT of the ongoing clashes between government forces and terrorists in Marawi City, Cebu Pacific and Cebgo have advised their passengers to allot sufficient travel time to get to the airports due to heightened security in Mindanao.
Cebu Pacific clarified though that its operations in Mindanao remain normal, "with no restrictions or limitations imposed on air travel by the authorities."
It said heavy traffic is also anticipated around the areas in Mindanao, as numerous checkpoints are expected to be put up with the region under martial law.
"Guests flying to and from any Cebu Pacific or Cebgo destination in Mindanao from May 25 to 31, 2017 who are concerned about traveling at this time may opt to rebook their tickets from free within 30 days; or place the cost of the ticket in a travel fund for future use," it said in an advisory.
For flight rebookings or other concerns, Cebu Pacific advised its guests to contact its hotline at +632 7020-888. "They may also message the official Cebu Pacific Facebook or Twitter @CebuPacificAir accounts."
It also reminded its passengers of the following:
* Remember to bring a valid ID to be presented during check-in and boarding.
* Liquids, aerosols, and gels inside a hand-carry bag should be in a container (100 ml or less) and they should be placed in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag.
* Be conscious in bringing objects with sharp edges (i.e. nail files, nippers, nail cutters, scissors, etc.) as these may not be allowed in your hand-carry baggage.
* If you are bringing gadgets like your laptop, be prepared to take it out for inspection.
"We sincerely hope for our guests’ understanding, as everyone’s safety remains our priority," it said.
