Tomorrow, May 1, is Labor Day, and, there's going to be seat sales for both Cebu Pacific and Air Philippines.  Yay!  Totoro-line wave!

UPDATES: 

Cebu Pacific's promo has a 90% off on the base price of their domestic and regcional flights.  It means, the fuel surcharge remains the same.  So, a roundtrip ticket to Incheon will still yield an almost Php 7,000.00 price.  Promo period is from May 1 to May 2; travel period is from September 1 to December 15.

As for Air Philippines, their P1 fare refers to the base fare as well and it covers flights from Cebu and Clark, and Php 288 base fare for their Manila outbound flights.   Promo period is from May 1 to 3; Travel period is from May 16 to July 31.

Tomorrow = May P1. :)

ETA:  I went to the Expo and found out that the ticket prices being offered by PAL only cover the base fare.  Thus, it excludes surcharges and taxes.  For a round trip ticket to Manila-Delhi, PAL quoted us USD 472 (base fare plus taxes and surcharges) plus USD 30 for the travel tax.

The annual expo – dubbed the ultimate shopping destination for best travel deals – gets more than 60,000 visitors to the more than 450 booths from more than 200 companies.

This year's expo has the theme: 19th Travel Tour Expo: One Stop Shop to the World! 

     The rules are simple.  For every ticket you buy for any of the 4 destinations, you get a "free" ticket with an option to buy a third ticket for USD 7 only.  Well.  It is only the base fare which is "free" but you will still have to pay for the taxes and surcharges per ticket.

     Let's say, Singapore for example.  Two tickets to Singapore during the outbound travel period (07 February to 21 March 2012) will cost you USD 96 for both.  Add USD 172.10 per ticket (150 surcharge and 22.10 taxes), or for USD 344.20, to USD 96 and you'll get a total of USD 440.20 for two.  So, for a ticket, you'll get to pay only the amount of 220.10.  If you opt to buy the third ticket, it'll cost USD 179.10 (172.10 for surcharges and taxes plus USD 7 ticket price).  To be fair to everyone, if you'll split the cost among yourselves equally, each ticket will only be for USD 206.43.  

     Why is it a good deal?  The lowest ticket to Singapore on the same travel period costs USD 268.10.  So, if there are 3 of you availing this sale, you'll save around USD 60 per person.  

     Remember, however, when you book via PAL ticketing offices or through travel agents, you have to pay the travel tax of Php 1620 or its dollar equivalent,  when you buy your ticket per person.

     There are other restrictions, of course, but nothing controversial.
