Cebu Pacific launches E-Ticket in Iloilo, Davao

Barely two months after it launched electronic ticketing on its Manila-Cebu route, Cebu Pacific Air (CEB) has now made E-Ticket available to travelers flying to and from Manila and Iloilo.

"By Dec. 11, this globally-tested facility will also be available to Davao passengers," said CEB GM Danilo "Bong" Mojica. "By the first quarter of 2004, most of our domestic routes will make use of E-ticket.

According to Mojica, E-ticket’s "ticket anytime, anywhere" concept will definitely make traveling easier for people. "Customers have more choices in booking and paying for their flight. They can go to a ticket office or transact and pay by phone, fax, e-mail, or a phone banking facility."

Added convenience is provided by Equitable PCI Bank, which has recently tied-up with CEB for E-ticket.

"Equitable PCI’s clients can easily book and pay for their flights, wherever they are," said Mojica. "Passengers can choose to pay for their E-ticket through Equitable PCI’s Fastphone, which is a phone banking facility, Fasteller, its ATM, or Fastnet, which is through the Internet."

The airline will issue them, in place of the usual ticket, a transaction receipt through fax, e-mail or the Internet, or over the counter. A lost receipt can easily be replaced by CEB, unlike the present ticket.
