FAQs
Can I pool baggage with my companion?
Cebu Pacific’s current materials don’t commit to pooling; allowances and fees are assessed per piece, per guest. Plan baggage per traveler and don’t rely on pooling being granted at the counter.
What if my bag weighs 33 kg?
It won’t be accepted as a single piece. The operational max is 32 kg per checked bag. Repack or split your items. (This aligns with airline-industry limits and Cebu Pacific guidance.)
Do infants get a baggage allowance?
Infants (under 2, no seat) don’t get their own prepaid checked-baggage allowance. However, adults traveling with an infant may bring one small baby bag as the allowed single hand-carry exemption; strollers may be checked free of charge.
Liquids in cabin?
Follow PH airport security’s LAGs rule: containers ≤100 mL, all placed in one transparent 1-liter, resealable bag (one bag per passenger). Applies to flights to/from/within the Philippines
Policies and fees can change without notice. Always confirm the latest rules before you fly. [official website for Cebu Pacific]
