MANILA, Philippines- Budget airline Cebu Pacific will be offering more than 500,000 domestic and international seats for "free" in its biggest seat sale ever, the company announced Wednesday.

In a statement, the airline unit of JG Summit Holdings Inc. said it allocated more than 100,000 seats for its international routes that include: Bangkok, Guangzhou, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kaohsiung, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Taipei, Shanghai, Singapore and Xiamen.

More than 400,000 seats have been allocated for all of its domestic routes.

Passengers will only pay the taxes and fuel and insurance surcharges, which are
non-refundable.

“This is our biggest seat sale to date and is another milestone set by Cebu Pacific in Philippine aviation history. We believe this offering will further stimulate domestic and international travel amid rising fuel costs," said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice-president for marketing and product.

The promotional seat sale will run from May 15 to 18, 2008 or until the allocated seats are sold out. The seat sale is valid for travel from June 9 to December 31 this year. - GMANews.TV

how true is this?

[grazie7y]

I don't buy this promo.  The tax is triple the price of the fare, not to mention the fuel and other insurance surcharges. 

If it sounds too good to be true, it's too good to be true!

Exactly Grace. I have monitored the rise and fall of Cebu Pacific's ticketing price manipulation in its website. Tax and surcharges have never been fixed.

Here's the catch: Pay 0 = Tax P4,000
Pay P2,000 Fare = Tax = P2,000

Here in kaohsiung we favored on this cebu pacific flights for our vacation trips lang pod ang gi allow sa company. WE usually take the CAL  for our flights home and back here which cost us to more or less NT$ 11,000.00 (new taiwan dollar) round trip. But now my Cebu Pacific round trip flights cost me only NT$5,600 saving more or less half of our usual fares before... so naka save me ug dako2x pod ..... eheheh
