Most of my friends have their own horror stories about flying but most of it is about the plane being shaky and uncomfortable mid-flight. Once on a 5J trip to Coron, Palawan, turbulence was so bad for the whole stretch that my seatmates were retching to death on the barf bags and I was trying to humor myself by talking to the stewardess and asking her why the pilot has been quiet throughout :) However, I've figured out that turbulence is not really the culprit for most air accidents, although this one doesn't paint a pretty picture either.

Cebu Pacific Manila-Siem Reap (& vice versa)
It was my first time to try Cebu Pacific outside of their Hong Kong-Macau flights and had a good experience (disclaimer: this is NOT a sponsored post, LOL). I just had to be in this flight because am trying to make a list of all the exotic places I want to visit in Asia and Siem Reap (home of the Angkor Wat) is one of them. Cebu Pacific is the only local airline right now flying straight to Siem Reap and for the savvy traveler, this is definitely faster than taking the overland route from Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City. Travel time is two hours 45 minutes. The flights ... Continue Reading...

Old Macau and a porkchop bun
We went to Macau recently and had the smoothest flight via Cebu Pacific. The same guy headed the plane going in and out of Manila - a certain Capt. Florencio. It's been 5 years since I flew international with Cebu Pacific and my good experience will probably make me consider travelling with them to some exotic destinations like Hanoi or Siem Reap. The sandwich they serve is terrible though. I felt bad paying P100 each for something that tasted like cardboard. Needless to say, we left it unfinished. Cebu Pacific flights from Manila to Macau arrive at an unholy hour ... Continue Reading...
