    First pay ridiculous rents or house prices in sydney and then get on cheap flights.

  Any takers of this offer. Once you land in manila get out there. Visit the many islands. Fatten yourself up in the various delicacies in every region you visit.

    Interested to know what delicacies there are…

    I've been to most islands around there over a few visits, and did not find their food to be the main attraction at all … But taste is subjective I spose

      Every region has what they call their specialties. Its what the region is known for. But i agree its not for everyone but hey they are proud of these delicacies and i am happy for them for that.

      Got nothing against people who do this. Its their life.

      if I had a $ for everytime I saw this, would be a millionaire by now.

      I have know people personally that went there enjoyed the scuba diving, island hopping. Even trekked by bicycle and motorbike.

      Theres even a few foreigners that reside there with their partner from their origin country. They went there together and totally enjoy roaming around the country.

    It's hard to find good cooked in the Philippines.
    Cooking standards way behind other countries unless you're going upmarket where you'll be paying similar prices to back at home.
    Produce is amazing though.

    Coin flip in some cases. So best not to expect prompt flights.

    Check seat widths, I was glued to the person next to me the entire flight

    • 

      xoom on 14/07/2023 - 10:16

      If the flight was any longer you reckon you would have fused together? 🤣

        200%, didn't mention being glued was necessary a bad thing

        Oh she would need 3 seats and if you sat behind her and she reclined it could be all over for you.

    Sydney to Manila experience, flying over is fine as the flight is usually during the day and has you arrive in the evening PH time. Flying overnight on the way back to Sydney is atrocious though and I tend to avoid that unless absolutely necessary. The seats are uncomfortable and are all set to the same recline setting across the flight so you can't recline at all to try sleep.

    I haven't had any flight cancellations yet but they are on a similar level to jetstar in terms of delays/cancellations.

    Pretty on par tbh. Jetstar has a better hard product but cebu pacific has a better soft product. Having said that, i havent flown cebu pacific post-covid but pre-covid they used to do a little trivia quiz (5 or so questions) on the plane and people who guess the correct answer first would win cebu pacific branded goodies, etc. You would also get a small snack included in the basic fare.

    Never had a flight flying with cebu pacific in the Philippines that wasn't late.

      At least it wasn't cancelled altogether.

  Heard their A330s are “pre-reclined”? Anyone got any intel or experience?

  • 

    hungryduke on 14/07/2023 - 10:19

    Yes they are slightly more reclined on the overnight flights but no adjustments are possible. I'd pay hundreds more just to fly with Qantas and avoid their seats.

  Can't really comment on CEBU however Ive done 3 one month trips in the last year for work.

  I find the food to be awesome and much cheaper than at home. Crispy Pata (pork hock), Inasal (roast chicken), Lechon (crispy pork) and of course for fast food you have to try Jollibee.

  There's also an abundance of fresh seafood at great prices. I am lucky I have staff that take me to the local spots but recently we had crabs, prawns, oysters, squid, garlic veggies and rice for about $150 AUD. You select the seafood from the fresh market and it's cooked exactly how you want it.

  I normally have to stay in Manila which is a hole and the traffic is horrendous but I was in Boracay last week which is a beautiful island. Just be aware it's the 'party' island so not exactly what you want for R&R.

  It really is an underrated country IMO
