Cebu Pacific Air
Reviews and Complaints

Good evening cebupacific. I am in rage over one of your agents attitude towards me and my sister at sm city iloilo this after noon. We were not accomodated well and she even raised voice towards me and my sister. Plus rolling her eyes.
Me and my sisters booked 3 tickets to manila on may 7, 2018 online and was about to pay this afternoon at 7 eleven buut it says the code was invalid. We went to sm to rebook a flight, if needed, or maybe find a way why such thing happened(since i book tickets all the time and pay at 7 eleven). So we went to cebu pacific at sm city iloilo..we were there around 4:50 pm this afternoon, may 8. I asked the first csr i saw behind the counter and elaborated the situation. She asked if how many numbers were in the reference number so i showed her the number on my sisters phone. And impolitely answer that the code is for bank payment. She was already so rude in answering us back. I asked if what bank should we pay it for and she said "ara lang na dira xng booking nyu. Tani gncheck nyu pag book nyu" (its just there in your booking, you couldve checked it when you booked). Her tone was so impatient.there we are trying to find out a way so we can pay the ticket and she didnt even explained or lend a hand to help us check it. What we did was asked if we can book a ticket again...and when i adked what time is available she didnt even put an effort in the time s available but pointed on the list which is very near to her.. So we decided on the time, but this girl was busy using her phone while we were there. We didnt rebook the flyt since its waay extra than the booking we were tryng to pay. So iaskedher again if what we can do with tjis...she couldve explaind it further to us so we will be able to understand and find a way for the booking...she was raising her eyebrows unto us on every question we ask...
My sister asked for her name and rudely answered why should my sister get her name..so i asked for suggestion sheet or comment sheet whoch i can write my complain and received the same answer...she was so rude to the customer. If you are a CSR, you should never raise your voice to the customer no matter what...we were so calm when we approached her...we were worried not to book the flight. She couldve done better.
Sir. I have been a CSR agent so i know how should a customer be treated.please look into this agent named cyrene at sm city iloilo branch of cebu pacific.. I dont want other customers be treated the same way we were...

This is a death case matter, I put a refund since February 2018 after I forwarded all necessary information or paperwork with follow up E-mail and multiple phone calls, the last E-mailed I received from claims Department that my refund was approved and I will be refunded in full, this is Dated March 23rd 2018, two weeks ago I started calling them to find out when the refund returned and every person told me that the money has released since April 5th 2018, but nothing shows in our credit card. One stage the control number I need but every time I call they said still waiting but 24 to 48 hours this is several times now they told me that there's a cut off time. If the money has been released why they didn't put it on our Card. And why . When I booked my tickets they told me that there's no problem with our refund because it's a DEATH CASE MATTER. It took them 5 minutes to charge me.

I E-mail again to claim Department but they won't respond. Is anyone I can Re -this matter.

Yours Sincerely
Carmelita Miller

During Bording we encounter a very rude and negligent employee of cebu pacific by the name of Amabelle Cruz. We are group of nine including children and senior travelling to Tagbilaran from Manila. Upon boarding i given all our bording pass and Valid IDs to Amabelle Cruz. But due to last minute changes into boarding gate we are not all together. However, everyone in close by. She distributed all our boarding pass to all of us by calling our name but hold our valid IDs on the counter. She rudely said that we should be together. We expalined that is it last minutes changes in our bording gate and also immediate boarding. She again replied in a rude manner that the previous boarding gate is only temporary. Despite the fact that we are not informed of the temporary boarding gate during check in for us it is not too much of a big deal only if we not encounter a very rude Amabelle Cruz. She then let me board the flight together with my two kids even without even looking at our valid ID that still on the counter. When i ask her about our ID considering it is a very important documents, it is our passport she replied saying she will give it to the last passenger bording in the same group. It is very very dangerous of her letting us board the flight without even looking at our ID, she only check our boarding pass. Who knows It could be a different person. It is very dangerous. When the last person in the same group handed her the boarding pass after few other passenger not included in the group board the plane that is the only time she look at all the 9 IDs. Unless she have photographic memory which I highly doubt, how can she guarantee the safety of all the passenger on the flight. If I am not mistaken the purpose of final checking prior to boarding is to make sure that the bording pass corespond with the valid ID and that the person is the right person. I am extremely disappointed that such a big company with a big reputable name on the industry employed such a very rude and negligent employee that putting hundreds of passenger and crew in danger. One of the 9 could be a terrorist holding the boarding pass of different person. Small mistake in this field can cause hundred life. And we are trusting you with our lives and the lives of our love ones. This is not the first time I am flying with Cebu pacific and most of your staff in my previous flight is very cautious with their job in making sure of the safety of all the passenger. That is why i am very disappointed with employee like Amabelle Cruz which i strong think that she is not going to be a valuable member of your team.

Last april 19, 2018 thursday, i booked our family trip to singapore for dec 26-28. I accidentally chose the 8pm flight going to singapore, but the booking was confirmed already and i was charged P70k+ for the four roundtrip tickets with booking ref # XF5W2T. After seeing that i chose the wrong flight, i modified it & change to 1pm departure flight then i was again charged with another P15k+ on top of the previous P70k+...all in all i was charged more than P85k+ for 4 supposed to be roundtrip tickets...but i decided to confirm our booking with cebupacific hotline resrrvation & found out that our returned flight was cancelled...ive been trying to follow on this issue since april 23 but still theres no clear answer from all the operators i have been spoken with. Its been a week already and all they can say is to follow up again after 24-48hrs again...hope you can help me with this, its such a big amount of money that iam talking about...its just that i need to confirm our return flight with the huge amount that they charged me. Hope i can get a feedback from your office. Thanks & god bless!

Hi. My name is Ritzchie Idian, passenger of Cebu Pacific Flight 5J 187 which departed in Incheon, South Korea about 3 am this day, April 8, 2018 and arrived at about 630am in Terminal 3. I work in Mondelez Philippines Inc. I was in Korea for a tour with my colleagues. I had to fly back alone ahead of my colleagues to attend to an emergency. It was also my first time to travel alone on an international flight.

Back in Incheon, I was required by South Korean Immigration to check in my back pack because of a Music Box I purchased in Seoul Tower. That happened after I already had checked in my luggage. They said I had no other choice. Not even retrieving my big luggage and insert the music box then re-checked in. I had to comply.

My backpack contained several key chains (2 sets of 10's), ref magnets ( 1 set of 10's, souvenier items (2 magnetic stuffed toy, and 4 fluffy bag accessory) which are small ones. Along with it are 2 korean noodles, 10 packs of seaweeds, a box of 4 small tea cups and the music box which was the reason why the Immigration instructed me to checked in my back pack.

It was when I was unpacking when i noticed that the keychains, ref magets and souvenier items went missing.

I am really disappointed.

I never thought that someone would have interest or take advantage of the situation and on small things.

The only instance my backpack was separated to me was when I checked in until I got it back before going out of NAIA Terminal 3.

The night before my travel, my friend's phone got lost when we were buying the items. It was returned after tracing back the places we have visited by Koreans we never knew. Here in the Philippines, it is really different, especially after this expeience.

The total estimated value of the stolen items is about 102, 000 won or about Php 5100 (at 1PHP to 20 won). Of course my wish includes;

1. The stolen items be recovered and returned to me. More than the monetary value, I value the efforts I exerted and my appreciation of the items I picked which were supposed to be my pasalubong to my loved ones and colleagues at work. That is the priority. At least, that would mediate that feeling that they have nothing to receive upon my return and it is impossible for me to get back to South Korea at once to buy again.

2. If #1 is not an option, then at least the value can be compensated. The amount is very neglible but at least I can do something about it like calling my colleagues who are still in South Korea to purchase replacements at least before they return soon. Their flight back will be tomorrow, April 9 early morning.

3. Whether 1 or 2 is workable, I really wish you can craft a way to isolate the culprits and take them out in the Airport operation. For sure you can track out things in your process and find that glitch where suddenly it can't be and that is where the culprits attack. I have heard of many horror stories in Cebu Pacific and NAIA, and the worst is blaming the passenger for the incidence or occurrence. The value range from big ones and now, per my exprerience, to petty ones.

I look forward that Airport Management here in the Philippines would act on this issue, same with the other issues. This includes Airport Authorities and Airlines like Cebu Pacific. It is really a hit on the reputation an quality of service.

More than the improvements on the facilities, we need passenger and baggage security as well.

My contact number is [protected] or you can email me at ritzchie.[protected]@gmail.com

Please call me and provide me feedback.

Thanks.

I ride the cebu pacific plane manila to hongkong last march 25, 2018 7:20am, when i was going to board the plane i was asked to transfer to a smaller wheelchair and when i arrived at hongkong international airport, i saw my electric wheelchair was damaged. i have attached the picture of my damage electric wheelchair. this incident had ruined my vacation and cebu pacific hongkong team guarantee me that once i returnedto manila the cebu pacific will settle with me all the damage compensation. i had returned to philippines for 4days and still dont hear anywords from them.

This complaint is intended to Cebu Pacific Team,

I took a domestic flight with Cebu Pacific (from Davao to Manila) last 24th March 2018 - 9PM flight, Saturday. The crew changed our flight due to flight delays but when we reached Manila, my luggages were not there and confirmed to be left in Davao. I filed a complaint form in the airport and was told that there is no confirmed date or time or flight when my luggages will arrive in Manila but was told that Cebu Pacific will deliver it to my address as soon as possible.

I have a connecting flight to Dubai (via Singapore Airlines) early morning so I cannot wait for the baggage since there is no assurance from Cebu Pacific. I was asked to mention my Dubai address and contact number and Cebu Pacific will arrange to deliver it. The Cebu Pacific Team is in contact with me via email but each day I receive a different feedback and just delaying it further. Despite the urgency (given that my medications are in the luggage and my health is compromised without the need to mention about the obviously perished goods), unfortunately my baggages were still in Manila as of this date (28/03/18). I do not see the sense of urgency and sincerity from Cebu Pacific.

Because of so much delay and inconsistency in their feedback on the above situation - I demand Cebu Pacific to just pay for the luggages and the value of all the contents there plus Cebu Pacific to purchase my medicines in the Philippines as my medications can't be bought in Dubai. They have caused so much hassle and their response is not reliable at all. My health is being compromised as I have stopped my medications for 4 days now.

Looking forward for the fast resolution.

This is SAMUEL N. TAN, I was trying to book zamboanga manila and manila zamboanga for Joseph Tan and Teresita Tan for April 11 and 22 2018, I tried four credit card and using them twice, after giving the approval code from the bank it comes back approved then pending. I have called my bank ans they said it is Cebu Pacific, so i also contacted Cebu Pacific customer service he told me that use another credit card as my name is black listed,

Since ten years ago, I have been booking trip but it was last January that I cannot recognize the booking and ask metro bank to check but even without checking I still paid the amount and emailed Cebu Pacific to disregard as I have not made any claim but what I need it only to clear to I can charge it to my bro.

In this regard please call me [protected] what you need to clear up my name so I can book flight again thanks

i am here to write complain to Cebu Pacific ! Really my bad experience in my life. I planned a four-day-trip to Cebu on 25th june 2018 and made a online booking with Ref No. HFCZQD on 9th Mar. However during the last step the server stuck and i try to press the refresh button. End up payment was done but i found out the meals were added in my trip that i never order !. i tried to called to 3973 3800 ( HKG customer hotline) and it never work!

At 2230, thanks god, they picked up my call. And i tried to explain my case, However they just say its my problem and nothing much they can do ! they asked my to called again after 48 hrs so that they can transfer my case to the seniors.

Today i tried to called back again, another shocked me is the date of my trip was not the one i apply too ! it showed 28th jul coming back HKG instead of 28th june ! i keep calling the hotline again and after long period of time, they picked up my call, and i told my story to them at once. They just said nothing much can do for me and asked me to buy a new tickets...or if i need to change my booking i need to pay 3000 HKD ! what the hell is going on? i said during the booking procedure, the server stuck and its not a normal processing i had before. This is not the first time i buy Cebu pacific tickets, i know all the procedure well. I asked for their help on my case, but they just say NO ! No! NO !

Please think carefully if you wanna travel with this airline ! they wont care about YOU ! no matter how the online buying tickets got anything wrong ! They just keep asking You to buy a new one and never think that its their system problem ! The point is the hotline keeps you waiting and waiting !

I was so upset about Cebu Pacific ! what a worst airline !

This is the worst customer service ever for an airline and I should know since I have worked in customer relations for several years! First instance is when I booked a flight cebu-davao on oct 2016 in your cebu pacific counter in robinsons fuente, cebu. I had to use my debit card since there were no available atm to dispense cash at that time at robinsons. Imagine to my surprise the cebupacific agent had to swipe my card twice in different swiping machines so I asked if there was something wrong with my card/ their machine and she casually said that she needed to get the approval in a different machine then proceeded to read to me my flight detail summary and printed my itinerary. I was able to fly my flight without any hitch but when I checked my online bank statement after a month I travelled it got me the shock of my life that I was charged twice on my card! I proceeded to file a dispute with my bank and they said to go my merchant (cebupacific) and once they get confirmation it was an error on their part the bank will gladly refund me the charges but when I filed this with cebupacific fuente branch the agent whom I originally booked my flight denied she had swiped my card twice resulting in double charges! Hence I got fed up with her and her lame excuses and requested to speak to their supervisor/ manager (isah vern ong), she even had the nerve to a different agent first (who seems better equipped with customer service but cant help me gwt my refund still). Finally after thorough explanation I got to talk to their manager ms. Ong who told me that they will file a dispute in their manila accounting office after submitting all necessary documents (bank statement, itinerary receipt, flight details & a copy of my id plus dispute letter) which I duly submitted right then and there. After 3 months of going back &forth to follow it up I eventually got a feedback that they will not approve my file for refund since it had to be the bank's fauklt of charging me twice! Wtf! So I had to seek legal counsel & it got me a demand letter sent to their fuente office but until now no resolution on thiscase and as what my lawyer told me it never gets resolved with cebupac as she had similar cases already filed! Now it was only 3k for that double charge for a roundtrip airfare nevertheless the time &effort I spent on this whole fiasco was priceless due to the incompetence of the agent!

I tried to book a flight from Manila to Dumaguete for a week during Easter. I always book via card when using the site, and fly this route often.

When I selected my flights, confirmed, and went to the payment section of the site, I inputted my details but my card was declined. Therefore, no confirmation and no booking reference.

However, when I checked my bank statement - they did charge me!

My bank confirmed that they took my money, but Cebu Pac is saying they didn't - even though my bank confirmed they did in fact charge me.

My bank told me the best thing I can do is file a dispute against them (takes 85 days...) but first would need Cebu Pac to show proof that they did in fact decline my card, and received no money.

CEBU PAC refused to give me any proof! Stating because they declined by card, they did not do business with me, therefore they cannot provide proof that they did not charge me even though I have the bank statement to prove they did!

What do I do now? My bank is trying their best, but can't fight this without Cebu Pac's cooperation.

So now I'm still 8k short, without a flight, without the airlines help.

Horrible experience that my friend had. I booked her flight for tonight from Tacloban to Manila. She missed her flight tonight cos she was advised that she needs to do online check in, she was surprised because this was the first time happened to her, though we always book our flight with Cebupac and we always go to the counter for normal check in. The said flight will depart at 8.10pm and my friend is there before 7pm (it's not 2 hrs before her flight) but she still have time to check in and to think that she has just one hand carry luggage. This is very unacceptable and We want a refund or book her flight back here in Manila for free. Please call me at [protected] Max is my name.

attention: ms. audrey medillo. cebu pacific manager. naia terminal 3. january 14, 2018.
I am writing this complaint because of the very poor customer service you all provided during the said flight. I gave you the requirements needed for my flight to FUKUOKA JAPAN. It's under SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement). You said I can't check in because I have insuffient documents. That you need a SOFA stamp on my passport. So you said you're going to call and email the Immigration in FUKUOKA JAPAN. Time was 12 noon. You gave me a time frame of an hour. My flight supposedly was 2:25 PM. So I said okay you can verify. After an hour I asked for an update and you said you called and sent an email but no reply yet. You asked for more time and I said okay. Until my plane left you said there's no update from fukuoka yet. Did you even ask or consult the immigration officers in the Philippines first? Isn't there main job to check that issue and not you at the check in counter doing that? I understand you want to make sure it will be okay for me to go on the plane. It took you and your crew many hours but no good result. Then you gave me my documents and said I can just refund the money I paid for the ticket if I'm no longer willing to wait. I explained well that I need to be in JAPAN that night. But since your next flight to FUKUOKA is the 16th, you said I can just refund it. Me and my husband are very much upset with the service you provided. So the next thing I did was to refund the ticket. After that, I went to Terminal 2 and checked with Philippines airlines if I can fly to FUKUOKA JAPAN with the documents I have. The PHILIPPINE AIRLINES employees are very professional and knowledgable about everything that concerns their passengers. When they said yes I can definitely fly to Japan, I booked the earliest available flight which is the next day, 9:45 AM. I am from the province so I can't go home just like that in one snap of a finger. So I had to stay in Manila paying for my accomodation because my flight the next day is a little early. I can't go back to my province. All the hassle and stress that you (AUDREY MEDILLO) and CEBU PACIFIC STAFFS is unbearable. I had to stay in Manila instead of being with my FOUR-MONTH OLD BABY! I missed that one day because of your incompetence! I will never forget this horrible experience with all these people and airlines. We will do everything to have you (AUDREY MEDILLO) and all other staffs who were part of this issue receive the appropriate action needed. By the way, I arrived well and no problem nor little issue with the documents I have provided and showed to you. I'm here in FUKUOKA JAPAN already and we will never stop until you, your crew and airlines will be accountable for the hassle and stress you gave me and my family yesterday. You're lucky because cebu paciific doesn't have flight to FUKUOKA today, I ‘m looking for a staff or anyone I can talk to. Make sure to compensate us for all the trouble you made. Once again, we will contact you soon MS. AUDREY MEDILLO. Kindly wait because we will never stop until you get what you all deserve. We will never recommend your airline to anyone. Very poor customer service and poor handling of passenger concerns!

Nov. 13, 2017 I had a flight from Manila to Cebu City to do an island hopping in the provinces nearby.in Cebu airport I was surprised and devastated that my luggage are totally broken, missing parts like wheels and is now wrapped in plastic.

I was told to wait 10days. Its 28days now! and I just back home! Obviously I need to buy a new one and squeezed the rest on my backpack! I wont travelling for 3 weeks with a broken one right!? Im in a holiday! Then I got a call telling me they gonna replace my luggage with a luggage itself! They dont even ask how much did I bought for my luggage the fact I bought it in Singapore! 5.5k wasnt that much! But the hassle and obviously I already got a new one! What do you want me to do with your replacement? And I need to pick it up in the airport? And does your replacement is really the equivalent of my luggage!? I dont need another luggaged. I need the cash value of my luggage itself.

On our arrival at Ninoy Internation Airport Terminal 3 Last Dec 7 2017, We are seaching for 1 of our luggage but unfortunatly one of our service crew informed us that mybe our luggage are left at Kota Kinabalu or maybe upload from different flight. Cebu Pacific Service Crew informed us that once our luggage has been found it will be delivered on the address that we provide. We wait for couple of day before cebu pacific informed us that our luggage has been found and upon checking our luggage infront of cebu pacific delivery man we found out that their are allot missing items such as ATM Card and 3 Expensive wactches in our luggage and the side of our luggage was been slash. We report the incident at your costumer service Ms. Krizzel Gutierrez and Mr Fahad Kadir thru email coz they are the two employee of cebu pacific who email us with regards our luggage. Since that date we are waiting feedback with regards our missing item but your staff ingonoring our email. We look forward that your company take action with regard to the missing items missing in our luggage
