That is not true, I tried booking flights all day long one time and it kept on giving me a Credit card decline. I used at least 3 cards and they all got declined and one time, I thought it was successful because I got a confirmation and total cost from the CC company, but when I called them, Their response is that they declined it because they do not have the capabilities to authenticate any CC transactionss here in the US. WHAT a WASTE of MONEY in their banking and financial systems. SOOOO Backwards.

@Jon Limjap — Hi there. I don’t think hand-carried items will matter: they won’t be considered excess baggage. :)

Hmmm, baggage weight issues would likely mean that I have to get a UMPC/netbook instead of lugging my laptop around. :(

I’m not very picky on seat assignment as long as it’s next to the window. I always get it when I ask, being a handicap also has it’s “perks” I almost always try to use it in things like being the first to board the plane, priority in checking in, less hassles in inspections/baggage search (yes can be a bit lenient to handicap people)

I made a mistake when I made that booking. The part about paying for excess baggage, it’s not that after all… Apparently, another way for Cebu Pacific to keep their fares low is to remove the baggage allowance entirely! So when you book a flight, you choose from three options for your check-in baggage: 5kg, 10kg or 15kg, and you can pay in advance for the weight allowance. Hmmm… I’m not sure how passengers will take to this.

@Randy C — Don’t know about that. Actually, I’m also having a problem using my UnionBank EON card there.

BUT have they fixed their foreign credit card issue? The one that makes it impossible to book online with a US credit card, but they don’t tell you what the problem is?

Any improvements are appreciated, though.

Finding my preferred seat has been a nightmare for me… that’s why i always arrive early at the airport to be able to get the seat that i want… With Leg room, beside the window, and before the plane’s wing hahahahhaha

see!

Now, with this tool.. i will not have to worry about having my preferred seat whenever i travel!

yey! Yey!
