Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the service, citing frequent and lengthy delays, chaotic boarding processes, and a general lack of professionalism and reliability. The booking process also caused frustration, with issues like flights being changed or canceled without adequate notice or alternative options, and difficulties with online check-in. Reviewers consistently found the customer service unhelpful, unresponsive, and challenging to reach, often leading to financial losses due to rebooking or forfeited tickets. The pricing was also a point of contention, with many feeling that additional charges and baggage fees were excessive and unfair, sometimes exceeding the cost of the flight itself. Some people were dissatisfied with the staff, describing them as rude, incompetent, and unsupportive, particularly when dealing with flight issues or special requests. However, a small group of customers reported positive experiences, noting on-time flights, new aircraft, and friendly, helpful cabin staff. These individuals also found the booking process simple, check-in quick, and the overall value for money to be good.

I would give zero stars if I could. Avoid at all costs!

I would give zero stars if I could. The worst customer experience I have ever experienced. Lost our luggage did not advise us that our luggage never made it on the plane and left us waiting at the luggage carousel for an hour unnecessarily. We could not even speak with a company representative. Terrible from start to finish with queues for over to hours to drop out bags for them to not even be put on the plane. The worst airline I have ever travelled with.

Very unhelpful. Would not assist to make minor change to flight immediately after booking unless $100s of dollars in fees paid. Do not use. Steer clear.

If I can give 0 stars, I would. They do not have a refund policy for purchases within 24 hours of purchase and they don’t care if it’s for a funeral. They have the worst customer service. Save yourself stress and NEVER fly this crappy airline.

Extremely disappointing service and misleading communication

I am sharing this experience as a warning to others.

For over a week, I contacted customer support daily, spending significant time trying to get clarity about a refund. Every agent assured me that the situation would be resolved and that a reasonable solution would be offered. Based on these assurances, I acted in good faith.

During a chat conversation, I was explicitly told that I could choose different options per booking. I was given multiple options and clearly selected a refund for one flight, while keeping the other flight unchanged. At no point was I informed that accepting or modifying one booking would automatically remove my right to a refund for the other.

Later, the refund was suddenly denied because another, unrelated flight had been modified — a change that was made with the airline’s assistance and without any warning of consequences. This is especially frustrating since the flights were booked with different airlines, yet they were later treated as inseparable.

The airline also incorrectly classified the issue as a “minor time change,” while in reality it involved a change of arrival airport, making the onward international flight physically impossible to catch. This crucial detail was ignored.

What started as seemingly good and helpful service ultimately turned into a very unfair and discouraging outcome. Customers are expected to make decisions without being informed of major consequences, and are later penalized for choices made in good faith.

This experience shows a lack of transparency, consistency, and customer-focused problem solving. I strongly advise others to be extremely cautious and to get everything in writing before agreeing to any changes.

Flight cancelled by Cebu Pacific and refund refused

Be warned when booking with Cebupacificair. My flight T6 5336 was cancelled, and a technical glitch on their site forced a 'Travel Fund' instead of a refund. Despite reporting it within 2 hours, they refuse to settle and ignore my requests. Formal complaint filed with CAB (Case 17036). Expecting a full refund to the original payment method as required by law.

Unhelpful Agents Added Stress Instead of Support

I’m extremely disappointed with Cebu Pacific’s customer service. I waited patiently both through the website and Facebook, hoping for help with a serious family medical emergency. On live chat, the agent KILA abruptly left without offering any resolution. Then, the website agent JAPH sent a generic response saying the system was unavailable just seconds after I sent a lengthy, detailed message without even reading my concern. I felt completely ignored during an already stressful and emotional time. Very unsatisfactory and disheartening service.

Worst ever airline

I have to give one star but seriously I’d give none. Our flight was cancelled from el Nico to Boracay, which they said was weather however according to flight apps, aircraft were taking off from Boracay at that time and weather was only stated so no compensation had to be paid. Delayed 24 hours and the following day delayed again for 3 hours, no announcements no customer service at all and no reason why. For the first delay they expected us to own expense to get veto Puerto Princess, 250km away to get a replacement flight, when we refused they miraculously found u a flight the next day. Worst airline ever experienced. Budget in cost and service. DONOT FLY CEBU PACIFIC, YOU WILL JUST BE LET DOWN.

This airline really needs to improve

This airline really needs to improve, just look at the reviews here. The Filipinos don't care, but today, in a world where everything is connected and everything moves fast, and especially where everyone shares their opinions, the competition is there and won't give them any breaks. I took a flight from Cebu to Hong Kong, and to start with, it was already over an hour late taking off. Then you get to your seats and it looks like they've skimped on the foam, the seat is too thin and uncomfortable. The worst thing, which I've never seen anywhere else, is that you simply can't recline the seats; they're fixed. And for a three-hour flight, they don't even offer food; you have to pay for everything, which is very expensive for such low quality. Then there's the trolley with goodies, which is purely commercial, and then supposedly money for children, again??? What a shame this airline is. I've never seen such poor service. I flew with Vietnam Airlines three days later on a 2.5-hour flight and was given a meal tray, wine, Coca-Cola, and coffee. Everything was included. Go hide, Cebu Pacific. You are nothing but thieves. The day the Philippines understands that you don't make money by trying to save it on the backs of people, you will have understood everything. Today, you are just profiteers. You have lost a customer, and many others will read this.

Bad comunication with costumers.
We had a delayed flight from Hong Kong to Manila with Cebu Pacific for the first time with a connection to Cebu, and it was the worst experience we've ever had.
The flight was delayed more than they said, and the crew even told us they would be waiting on the next flight and that we could run to catch it. It was not true ; they didn't wait and didn't even know about the delay. We lost our hotel, the driver, and all the psychological stress caused by dealing with them.

The worst airline you will ever use.

They lost our bags twice in transit within the one week. They made us sign a form saying our bag was damaged because it was slightly frayed at the top, and then when we received our bag it was completely torn and wrapped in cling film, then proceeded to tell us we signed a form saying our bag was damaged and they wouldn’t compensate us. They have the worst customer service, not one person was helpful in 4 flights.

Absolute disgrace, even for a ‘budget airline’.

Absolutely unacceptable experience with…

Absolutely unacceptable experience with Cebu Pacific.

Our trip was severely disrupted due to multiple operational failures on their end. The problems started with electronic check-in failures, despite following the process correctly. As a result, we were bumped off our original flight due to overbooking, something passengers should never be penalised for.

To make matters worse, the secondary/replacement flight we were placed on — already scheduled two hours later — was also delayed, reportedly due to mechanical issues. This compounded the disruption even further. Because of these delays and poor handling, we missed our connecting ferry to Boracay, twice! Costing us time, money, and a significant amount of stress.

No meaningful assistance, accountability, or proactive solution was offered. This wasn’t a single isolated issue — it was a chain of preventable failures, from system problems to overbooking and aircraft readiness.

When an airline markets low fares, it should not come at the expense of reliability and basic customer care. Travel plans, accommodation, and onward connections depend on airlines doing their job properly. Cebu Pacific failed on every front during this journey.

I would strongly caution anyone with time-sensitive travel or onward connections to think twice before booking.

Go Flexi (Free cancellation) is a scam

I paid for cancelation on my flight but they could not cancel my flight without reason.

I tried to cancel on my own both on app and webpage, but none of them were working. It was just letting me back to ‘my bookings’ page with my booking still there and not cancelled.
I spend 3 hours communicating with first the bot and then an agent. They needed to launch an IT investigation to cancel my flight. First i disagreed, but they did not offer another solution so i agreed. Afterwards they promised to send email but never did.
