Low-fare airline Cebu Pacific (CEB) is bringing back its trademark zero fare for its Manila-Osaka (Japan) service and flights from Clark to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore.

The zero fare seat sale will run from October 29 to November 7, 2008 and is valid for travel from December 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009. Passengers will just pay for fuel and insurance surcharge that range from USD 45 to 110 per way.

Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution, said, “We want to draw as many passengers from Central and Northern Luzon to experience traveling to our neighboring Asian countries this coming holiday Season. We also hope to be able to encourage foreign tourist to come and visit the wonderful attractions in Subic, Clark, Baguio, and the province of Ilocos.”
