buying a cebu pacific ticket at the airport

Be prepared that there might be a LOT of people at Cebu Pacific airport office. Waiting until you number whill be served might take over an hour... It was very crowded before noon time when I was in there last time. SO head for their office ASAP if you want to fly same day.
Prices might not be so cheap anymore if the flight is well booked. The longer you book in advance the cheaper the fares are, I once booked a flight on short notice and well...it wasn't exactly cheap anymore. Roughly double than if I would have booked several weeks in advance...

No.

Here is the Verified by Visa USA site

and here is the Mastercard SecureCode site

Ok, TT wont let me post a message with a Https link, so here is the correct site for Verified by Visa USA - https://usa.visa.com/personal/security/vbv/index.html

cropduster,
thanks for the work,

i already had verified my visa with the website before i started on this ordeal

even with a password protected visa verified card it just does not work,

they just don't seem to be taking US based visa cards (or apparently Cdn visa cards) at this time

hmmmm,

thanks though for your help

it is quiet season and bacolod is a quiet route anyway so i wouldnt worry. the cebu pacific office should not be too busy

great,

thanks for the encouraging post

Just wondering if you can buy the tickets from a travel agency there in Korea. As I'm writing this it's about 1:30 PM on Friday here in the Philippines. Perhaps you could call the Cebu Pacific reservation center and ask them to book the flight for you and even if they won't take your credit card information on the phones, they should be able to hold the reservation for you until you can pay for it when you arrive on Monday. The res center phone would be your international access digit, then 63 for Philippines country code. then 27020888. At least you'll know for sure you'd have a seat that way. Ads in the newspaper say the number is 02 7020888 but I think you have to drop the initial zero when you call from out of the country.

I'm rereading my post number 16. I guess I left it a bit confusing. I meant to offer two different options. One, the Korean travel agency. Or, two, calling Cebu Pacific reservation center directly.

thank you thank you thank you

okay, i used a phone card (so it is cheap) and called cebu's reservation office from korea

the lady was nice - made my booking, gave her the credit card info - and, have already rec'd the e-ticket receipt (serves as the e ticket) by email

got a price of 3200 pesos (2 people one way manila to bacolod) - so, i'm sure i saved about the same amount by getting the ticket early AND we can relax

thanks all
