Cebu Pacific: Building Leadership and Pursuing Strategic Growth

As a frequent traveler with Cebu Pacific, I’m genuinely excited about the recent updates regarding the airline’s growth plans. It’s great to see that they are focusing on expanding their fleet and network, which can only enhance our travel experiences.

Commitment to Growth

At their annual stockholders' meeting, Chairman Lance Gokongwei spoke about Cebu Pacific’s commitment to excellence and their strategy for growth. It’s encouraging to hear that they’re positioning themselves to take advantage of the growing travel demand in the Philippines.

Strong Performance in 2024

Cebu Pacific wrapped up 2024 with impressive revenue growth, driven by a record number of passengers. This is promising news for us as travelers, as it indicates that more people are choosing Cebu Pacific for their flights. The airline’s ability to maintain a strong seat load factor shows their reliability.

One of the most notable developments is the delivery of 17 new aircraft in 2024. This expansion will not only improve their fleet but also help in developing new hubs across the country. For travelers like us, this means more options and potentially better access to affordable air travel.

Leadership in the Market

Cebu Pacific is not just growing; they’ve also become a leader in both domestic and international markets. CEO Michael Szucs highlighted how these strategic investments have helped them outpace the competition. It’s reassuring to know that the airline is committed to providing quality service.

As we move into 2025, there’s optimism about continued growth. Szucs noted that the early months of the year show positive signs, with the market absorbing additional capacity. This could lead to even better travel options for us in the future. The recent order for up to 152 aircraft indicates a strong commitment to supporting the growth of Philippine aviation.

Overall, I’m looking forward to seeing how these developments will enhance my travel experiences with Cebu Pacific. The airline’s focus on growth and improvement is encouraging, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

Cebu Pacific Air Power Bank Usage and Guidelines

Jexx Hinggo 6:47 PM cebu pacific , travel 0 Comments

These days, a power bank is just as essential as your boarding pass. Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite series, editing travel content, or simply staying in touch with loved ones while in transit, a portable charger is a must-have. But before you pack one for your next flight, here’s a quick reminder from Cebu Pacific (CEB) on how to carry and use power banks safely—based on the guidelines from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).

What kind of power banks are allowed on Cebu Pacific flights?

Passengers are welcome to bring power banks with a capacity of up to 100Wh—no need for extra clearance. This is the standard for most compact and travel-friendly chargers.

If yours is between 100Wh and 160Wh, it’s still allowed on board, but you’ll need to declare it at the check-in counter for approval. Anything above 160Wh won’t be allowed, so it’s best to check the label before heading to the airport.

Can I use or charge my power bank during the flight?

Short answer: no. For safety reasons, using or charging power banks while on the plane is not allowed. Even if your phone’s battery is running low, you’ll need to wait until you land. This is to prevent any possible overheating or electrical issues mid-flight.

Where should I pack my power bank?

Power banks should always be hand-carried, never checked in. You can store them in your pocket or in the seat pocket in front of you, but avoid placing them in the overhead bin or under your seat. These areas are harder to access quickly in case of an emergency.

Also, if you’re carrying spare lithium batteries, the same rule applies—they should be with you at all times and not in checked baggage.

Pack it properly

Make sure your power bank is packed securely to avoid any accidental activation or damage:

If possible, tape the terminals.
Use the original packaging, or place them in plastic pouches or small cases.
Keep them away from coins, keys, or anything metallic.

Cebu Pacific puts passenger safety above all. These rules aren’t just formalities—they’re here to protect everyone on board. So next time you’re packing for a flight, give your gadgets a quick check and follow these guidelines.

Explore Hong Kong in 3 Days: A Fun-Filled Itinerary with Friends

Jexx Hinggo 10:51 PM cebu pacific , disneyland 0 Comments

On October 27, 2024, I embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Hong Kong, flying with Cebu Pacific Air. I was one of the lucky passengers, along with my friends from the Davao Bloggers Society, joining the inaugural flight. It was a memorable and fun experience.

The vibrant city of Hong Kong is known for its stunning skyline, rich culture, and delectable cuisine. It was the perfect destination for a quick getaway with friends. Here’s a recap of my travel experience and the highlights of my trip.

Departure: Cebu Pacific Air Experience

Cebu Pacific Air now flies directly from Davao to Hong Kong four times a week. They are known for their affordable fares and reliable service, making them a popular choice for travelers. Now, it’s easier and much faster to get to Hong Kong from the Land of Promise. The flight lasted almost four hours and was smooth, especially since I was with my friends.

Arrival in Hong Kong

It was my first time in Hong Kong, and as we were about to land, I spotted islands and amazing structures. I was amazed to see high-rise buildings and advanced structures on the islands. The airport itself is a marvel, featuring modern architecture and a lot of shops and restaurants. My airport experience reminds me of my travel to Korea in 2019. Rode a train inside the airport going to customs and all.

After clearing customs, we quickly made our way to the bus station and looked for Bus A21. We boarded the double-decker bus and paid using our GoTyme card. It took us almost an hour to reach our destination.

Accommodation

When we arrived at the bus stop, we were already in front of the building where we were staying. We stayed at Atlas Guest House and Backpackers, which was incredibly convenient since it was right in front of the bus stop and within walking distance of famous tourist attractions in Tsim Sha Tsui.

For booking, you may follow them on Facebook here.

DAY 1: A Culinary Adventure at the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival

On our first night, we attended the Wine and Dine Festival, the largest wine and food festival in Hong Kong. We were lucky to have passes for that night. From our hotel, we walked to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and Victoria Harbour, then hopped on the Star Ferry to Central Ferry.

We enjoyed watching the Observation Wheel first then entered the festival venue. The festival showcased a variety of international wines and gourmet dishes, making it a paradise for food and wine lovers. I sampled different wines, each with unique characteristics, and paired them with delectable bites from local vendors. The energy of the crowd, the live music, and the stunning waterfront views created an unforgettable experience.

Dinner at Gwing Kee Roasted Restaurant

After indulging at the festival, we headed to Gwing Kee Roasted Restaurant located at WK Square. This restaurant is renowned for its mouthwatering roasted dishes, and it did not disappoint! We opted for a sumptuous set meal that included:

Roasted Geese: Tender and flavorful, the geese were perfectly cooked and served with a rich sauce.
Pig Trotters: A delicacy that was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, showcasing the chef's skill in preparing traditional dishes.
Cold Cuts: A variety of meats that were expertly sliced and seasoned, making for a delightful appetizer.
Steamed Vegetables: A refreshing side that balanced the richness of the roasted meats.

The combination of flavors was incredible, and I savored every bite!

Late Night Adventure at Don Don Donki

To cap off the night, we made a late-night visit to the nearest Donki store. This popular Japanese discount store is a treasure trove of unique snacks, quirky merchandise, and everyday essentials. I wandered through the aisles, picking up some local treats and fun souvenirs to remember my trip.

Day 1 in Hong Kong was everything I hoped for and more—filled with delicious food, delightful wines, and vibrant experiences. I can't wait to see what the rest of my journey has in store!

DAY 2: Exploring Hong Kong's Cultural Gems

On Day 2 of my Hong Kong adventure, I immersed myself in the rich culture and vibrant art scene of the city.

Hong Kong Cultural Centre

I started the day at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, a hub for performing arts. The stunning architecture and waterfront views set the perfect backdrop for a day filled with creativity and inspiration.

K11 Musea and K11 Art Mall

I then headed to K11 Musea and K11 Art Mall to check out the Pop Mart store. This unique shopping destination combines art and retail, offering a variety of designer goods and collectibles. I enjoyed browsing through the vibrant displays and discovering new art pieces.

Next, I visited Mira Place, a shopping complex that offers a mix of high-end brands and local boutiques. It was a great place to wander and soak in the lively atmosphere.

Dinner at Cheung Hing Kee Shanghai Pan-fried Buns

For dinner, I indulged in delicious pan-fried buns at Cheung Hing Kee Shanghai Pan-fried Buns. The buns were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making for a satisfying meal.

Noodles at Mak's Noodle

After dinner, I couldn't resist stopping by Mak's Noodle for some authentic Hong Kong-style noodles. The rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles were a delightful way to end the day.

Pasalubongs at Elegant Tang Dynasty and Mega Wappen Shop

Before heading back to the hotel, I made sure to pick up some pasalubongs (souvenirs) at Elegant Tang Dynasty and Mega Wappen Shop. These shops offered a variety of unique items that would make perfect gifts for family and friends back home.

Day 2 was filled with cultural exploration, delicious food, and memorable experiences. I loved every moment spent discovering the artistic side of Hong Kong and can't wait to share more of my journey.

DAY 3: A Day at Disneyland

No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland. I spent the day enjoying the rides, meeting characters, and soaking in the magical atmosphere. The park was beautifully decorated for the Halloween season, adding an extra layer of fun to the experience.

My trip to Hong Kong with Cebu Pacific Air was an incredible experience filled with exploration, culture, and unforgettable memories. From the stunning views the Victoria Harbor to the vibrant streets of Tsim Sha Tsui and the magic of Disneyland, every moment was a joy.
