HI EVeryone,
first, thanks to everyone who helped me with my question about currency.
I have another question.
My wife and I will arrive at the international airport on Monday the 9th (Eva Air from Taipei) and we arrive at 11:30 am.
We want to get on the Cebu Pacific flight to Bacolod at 4:30 or 6:30 (not sure of exact times) and don't want to overnight in Manila.
The Cebu Pacific website does not take Visa cards from US (or Canada) apparently. I should have gotten a Korean visa card, but it is too late now. So, I"m not able to book and pay online for either flight with either of my two Canadian visa cards.
Can we buy the tickets at the airport (I assume yes) and assuming they sell tickets at the airport - guess my question is how likely will there be 2 seats available on either of those 2 flights when we show up on Monday.
thanks

Very simple.
Get your credit card "verified". clicked on the "visa" or "MasterCard" link at the bottom left of the Cebu Pacific homepage and follow the instructions. Only takes about 30 seconds, but adds an extra layer of security to your credit cards.
After you have completed this procedure you will find the Cebu Pacific site will readily accept your cards.
Sansai,
thanks, but, it doesn't work
the verified by visa icon does not do anything when I click on it????
could i use the mastercard verifier for a visa card do you think?
it gives me the following message when i click buy
"We apologise that your transaction cannot be processed at this time, kindly retry your transaction using another credit card."
They are also stating on that page that at the moment they are not taking US based visa cards - so i'm thinking hmmm, maybe canadian visa cards as well.
thanks

if still no luck. Go to domestic airport i am sure you can get a flight to cebu city. There is a cebu pacific office there.
Or you can book a flight for the next day and stay in townhouse for 1 night, 5mins from domestic.
so my original question stands
does anyone think there could be 2 seats on either the 4:30 or the 6:30 flight to Bacolod when we show up on Monday or do you think they are generally booked up
we don't really want to go to cebu, well not straight away anyways,
thanks again

sorry my mistake, i said cebu-city i meant bacolod.
Still i think it shouldn`t be a problem if they have daily flights.
good luck.

thanks,
yes, they have two flights, (actually 3 but we miss the first flight) so we'll just hope we can get seats on one of them, if not, hmmm, well, we'll stay over a night then
thanks everyone so much

I'm an American living in the Philippines and have always booked my Cebu Pacific flights online. But lately the website has rejected my credit card from the USA. I suppose they've had a fraud problem and are making it harder to do this so for my last two flights I've had to go to a Cebu Pacific ticket office and buy my tickets. They'll take my credit card there.
If you can't book online and arrive in Manila without tickets, just go to the domestic terminal. About 100 meters away Cebu Pacific has a ticket office. You might not get the best price buying on day of departure but it's still better than spending the night in Manila. Good luck.

thanks so much
that's what we'll do then,
pay more as you suggest, right now, if i could book and pay online it is about 3600 pesos for the two of us one way from manila to bacolod, that is pretty cheap, i don't mind paying an extra 20, 30, 40 bucks or whatever, i don't imagine it would be much more than that would it??
thanks so much
