"refund process is horrific"
P Birlen (Philippines)
✅ Trip Verified | Boarding and refund process is horrific. Been rerouted to serval ports rather than directly flying to the domestic airport destination which cost time and livid waiting at the gate for boarding. The second flight they have cancelled and rebooked the flight unlimited times like its a game and when you decide to just refund the money, the experience is worse. Refund your money to a closed account and they're claiming it was already credited but can provide the transaction number to help the bank recover the wire transfer.

"its been over a year now"
Neba Sounjoh (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Trip Verified | First they changed my flight dates and times over 14 times which that itself is very disturbing. Then again when i couldn't travel, they basically cancelled my flight and provided me the option to store in my travel refund. But when i requested for a full refund, they do not have the option on their website and they told me it would take 45 days to get a full refund and its been over a year now. Then i have been recently notified that my request has been declined which i must store the money in my travel fund which i do not want.

"ticket at a very cheap price"
M Calins (Philippines)
✅ Trip Verified | Bought my ticket at a very cheap price. I love flying on this kind of plane. Simple and not much passenger due to limited number of seats. Our flight departed 30 minutes early. It was a flight nothing to write home about but the price was the game changer. Overall it was a good flight considering the situation we are all in.

"I have to wait for 7 billing cycles"
J Manola (Philippines)
✅ Trip Verified | I booked a flight for our honeymoon supposedly on last May, but I made a mistake and booked March instead so I paid for a rebooking fee. Since pandemic started last March, we were unable to fly last May. So I was given options, I can get a full refund (they stated the FULL AMOUNT, inclusive of the rebooking fee since they were the one who cancelled the flight, not us) or have it credited to our account wallet. I chose the former. I was advised that I have to wait for 4 billing cycles, when August arrived, no email, no reply nothing. I followed it up then was advised again to wait for another 4months. When nothing is still refunded, I followed up again through fb and sent them emails and I have to wait for 7 billing cycles. When I got mad and sent them emails, screenshots of their replies, 2-3days after I think they emailed me saying that I get to be refunded minus the rebooking fee.

"I have not received a refund"
Luke Dooley (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Trip Verified | I am shocked and disgusted with the customer service from Cebu Pacific. My flight was cancelled in March and I was told I would receive a refund by August/September at the latest. I have not received a refund and my emails are now being ignored. I feel like I have been treated with disrespect and it is not good enough.

"They have no regard for customer"
T Darmiso (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Trip Verified | The worst airline I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Sent wrong information about the flight - no apology - Not informed of changes, no apology. Call centre staff are unhelpful - no apology. Spent over an hour calling them to request refund, from another country, and they gave no solution and will not even show the courtesy to call or even email customer back. They have no regard for customer.

"have been waiting for our refund"
George Gigante (Philippines)
Not Verified | Our flight was for oct 5 2020. sept 19th 2020 Cebu air canceled out fights due too covid. 19 We have been waiting for our refund for over a month now. They tell us it could take 5 billing cycles. They confirmed too me I may have to wait till feb or march of 2021. This is not acceptable, they took my money with no trouble. With all due respect the handling of this matter concern's me and I will do my best too fly with another company. I had a similar situation's with other airlines and got my money back pronto as it should be. Also I am having trouble getting my insurance money returned from them as well.

"for short flights its okay"
5 reviews John Manalac (Philippines)
✅ Trip Verified | Bangkok to Manila in November 2019. As this is a low-cost airline the service is 'no-frills'. Nevertheless, the ground service is good - not the best - but I suggest more check-in counters. The flight departed on time and arrived on time. While this may not be the same on other flights - they are improving on their on-time performance. Cost for money is good - considering I only paid half of what I would usually pay if I chose a full-service carrier for this route. The legroom was a little bit crampy, but you get what you paid for. This A330 operated by Cebu Pacific is infamous for its cramped seating configuration. I wouldn't recommend this for a long-haul flight, but for short flights its okay. You get to your destination on the cheapest price while the product quality is still there.

"shameful and disgraceful airline"
L Farley (Ireland)
✅ Trip Verified | Withholding my money over 4 months on a refund that THEY offered I was offered and accepted a full refund on 16 March. Initially told it would be two months then when two months had passed, suddenly it would be 3-4 months for the refund to be processed. It is now 23 July and my money is still being withheld despite being past the 4 month mark. Useless apologies asking for my understanding when I’m over €200 out of pocket mean nothing to me. Other airlines have managed to issue refunds despite the crisis, I cannot think of any excuse for me to have still not received my money back. I would give 0 stars if I could. Not a trustworthy airline. Absolutely shameful and disgraceful airline

"they don't pay back my money"
Robert Yixomo (Thailand)
✅ Trip Verified | I paid my ticket with my credit card. Within seconds Cebu Pacific the money was transferred. Regrettably I could not fly and asked Cebu Pacific for a refund of the taxes. Cebu Pacific agreed but since two months they don't pay back my money.
