About Cebu Pacific
Cebu Pacific is a low-cost airline from the Philippines. Despite the name, its main base is Manila, and it also runs bases at Cebu, Clark and other Philippine airports. The airline's code is 5J. It is known mainly for its domestic network, which connects islands across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, and it also flies to regional destinations in East and Southeast Asia, plus a few points in Australia and the Middle East. There is one Economy cabin, and checked baggage, meals and seat selection are sold as add-ons. Cebu Pacific is not an alliance member.
Cebu Pacific is searchable in the IATA.co booking portal and through the flights API. Cebu Pacific fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates, so availability can differ between searches. You pay from a prepaid balance. Since a low-cost base fare may not include a checked bag, look at the inclusions and fare rules displayed before you confirm.

Booking Cebu Pacific fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Cebu Pacific fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live 5J fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Cebu Pacific results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
