Number Two Philippine Marketing Slogan

A few days ago I published a post about Cebu Pacific airlines and how cheap they can make air travel here in the Philippines.  I love their slogan “Every Juan Should Fly” and variations of the same.

Cebu pacific’s number one competition in the domestic airlines market is Philippine Airlines (PAL).  Not to be undone, PAL [...]

Fly to the Philippines for $768

I’ve been a bit busy running around the past couple days working out some health issues .. not mine, thank God, but my dear mother-in-law.  Had some excellent news today about mother, so perhaps I can get things on a more stable footing here at the old article production center.
One thing that makes Momma [...]

Number One Philippine Marketing Slogan

One of the things we are really blessed with here in the Philippines is cheap domestic travel.  One airline I have used extensively since 1999 is Cebu Pacific.  I love their slogan … “It’s Time For Every Juan To Fly”
I’ve written them up in a number of previous articles, so no need to get into [...]

Learning More About Fares

Here’s some interesting new sites in the world of figuring out air fares.  I suppose the sites, especially the Fare Compare one would qualify as Web 2.0 … whatever that really is.
Fare Compare … http://www.farecompare.com/
will make a guess at where you are connecting from (surprising how few web sites even try … [...]

Airline scoop from a person whose ass has gone numb on the best of them

I’m getting a lot of airline search traffic and readership, thanks. I posted a separate page with some of the lowdown on the different carriers and my personal opinions. It’s on the page menu to your left as you read this or click here:

How to Pick your Seat

One of the things that doesn’t often cross people’s minds when until they get to their aircraft, already tired and stressed and not looking forward to a flight of perhaps 12 hours or more, is when on earth they are going to sit.
For those of you who have some experience, skip the next paragraph or [...]

Update on the Trip

I mentioned a couple of my favorite Philippines travel sources.  A few months back, Spouse and I had planned to go to the Philippines about this time for a vacation and family reunion. 
 Because we’ve been busy with our business (www.satviz.com) and because Spouse is waiting everyday to hear from the USCIS (formerly the INS) about [...]

Philippine Living Cheaper — Timely News, Read and Act Now If You Can

I’ve been away for a couple days (had a lovely trip to Davao City, more will follow) but I came across two items of interest to those who might want to travel and save money.  These offers will not last long, but the first one, in particular, is an exceptional saving, so I’m putting them [...]

Philippines and the Rest of Asia — 2009

New Airline in Town

I was happy to see a write-up in today’s news paper that there is a new US-flag airline serving Manila.  Hawaiian Airlines, based in Honolulu is now making four flights a week between Honolulu and Manila.  Continental and Northwest are the only two other US carriers who actually come to Manila and with the [...]

Cebu Pacific Update

Last week I had occasion to use my old favorite Cebu Pacific for a trip to Davao City from Manila and return.  I found that they are still a good airline and still pretty economical, but a few things have changed in the past few years since I used Cebu Pacific last.
Cebu Pacific has [...]

Jetstar Airways Update

I’ve written here before about Jetstar Airways, a discount carrier that flies between manila and Singapore … and from Singapore all over Asia.  I’m signed up for Jetstar’s email offer service and I just got a notice about them expanding service between Melbourne Australasia and Singapore (via Darwin).  Just for fun I ran an availability [...]

A Few Local Airline Updates

It’s always good to be able to write about our local airlines here in the Philippines … especially when things just seem to be improving.  I learned something in some sort of Principles of Management course that said most managers make the mistake of telling their workers all their strong points and then souring the [...]

Cebu Pacific Update

If you’ve read my Airline Information page you’ll know already that Cebu Pacific is my choice for Philippine domestic flights.
They always have some sort of promo going on … sometimes as low as 1 peso fares … no joke.  But even when you have to pay full fare, it’s reasonable … cheap by US [...]
