Tag: CEB Super Pass

During the pandemic, Cebu Pacific Air, the country’s leading carrier, introduced the CEB Super Pass—a travel voucher product that has grown in popularity over the years. Its appeal reached new heights when the airline released 1,000,000 passes during their most recent Super Pass sale.

Back in 2022, I wrote about the CEB Super Pass and mentioned that it was worth buying, especially if you planned to use it across the airline’s extensive domestic network. Today, I will take a deeper dive into the product. Three years later, is the CEB Super Pass still worth it in 2025? Read on to find out.

CEB Super Pass

The CEB Super Pass is a one-time-use voucher that you buy in advance. It lets you book a Cebu Pacific domestic flight anywhere from 30 days to 7 days before your travel date. These vouchers are usually sold during special promos and are valid for a little over a year.

How much is the CEB Super Pass?

Cebu Pacific last sold the CEB Super Pass in November 2024. Each pass was priced at ₱502.88. The base fare was just ₱99 per way, but once you add the airline’s booking fee and VAT, the total came out to a little over ₱500 per pass.

Buying & Redeeming CEB Super Pass

The CEB Super Pass is a special offer that Cebu Pacific releases from time to time. When it first launched during the pandemic, it was offered twice a year. Later, it became more of a once-a-year thing. The most recent sale happened in late November 2024—and as of now, there is no word on when the next one will be.

Buying a CEB Super Pass (when it is available) is super easy. Just go to the airline’s Super Pass page, log in to your account, and click ‘Buy.’ Choose how many passes you want, enter the name of the passenger each pass will be assigned to, and then proceed to payment to complete the purchase.

Redeeming your Super Pass is just as easy as buying one. First, log in to your Cebu Pacific account. Then select how many vouchers you want to use—one for a one-way flight, two for a round trip. After that, search for your chosen domestic route and look for flights marked with a ★CEB Super Pass tag. Pick your flight, fill in the passenger details, pay any remaining fees, and wait for your itinerary to be emailed to you.

A few things to remember: you can only redeem a Super Pass between 30 and 7 days before your flight. The ★CEB Super Pass flights go live at exactly 8:00 AM, and availability is first-come, first-served. These seats also are not usually offered during peak travel dates.

Is CEB Super Pass still worth it in 2025?

There has been a lot of talk about the Super Pass ever since Cebu Pacific released 1 million of them in November 2024. With that many people holding onto these passes, it has become harder to actually redeem one. In my experience, you need to be ready to book your flight right at 8:00 AM, exactly 30 days before your planned trip. On many routes, the Super Pass slots are gone within the same day.

Back in 2022, I was a big fan of the CEB Super Pass and said it was absolutely worth it. Three years later, I cannot say the same for everyone. Whether it is worth it or not really depends on the kind of traveler you are. For me, it is still a good deal—but that might not be the case for everyone.

If you have a fixed schedule and can commit to booking exactly 30 days in advance, then the Super Pass can still save you money. But if your travel plans are more flexible or last-minute, you might be better off waiting for Cebu Pacific’s ₱1 or ₱88 base fare promos, or even their random seat sales—which are often easier to book and just as affordable.

In the end, the CEB Super Pass is not for everyone. The best approach is to understand how it works and decide if it fits your travel style before buying.

Last year, the country’s biggest low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific Air, started offering a limited product called CEB Super Pass. This is a single-use pre-purchased voucher that allows the passenger to redeem domestic flights from 30 days up to 7 days before the intended dates. The pass offers passengers an added level of flexibility without actually planning their trips ahead of time.

Cebu Pacific Air offered their CEB Super Pass promotion thrice in the past – May 2021, September 2021 & March 2022. I availed 6 vouchers during the 2^nd offering & got another 10 in their latest offering last March 2022. Allow me to share with you today my experience in availing & redeeming these vouchers. I will also discuss the advantages & disadvantages of these CEB Super Pass vouchers; as well as share my thoughts if it is something that is worth purchasing in the next CEB Super Pass offering.

How much is the CEB Super Pass?

Each CEB Super Pass voucher has a base fare of ₱99. When purchasing one, an administrative fee of ₱250 & value-added tax of ₱41.88 will be added to the base fare. This one-way voucher costs ₱390.88. Please take note that the airline might charge additional fees, such as fuel surcharge, airport taxes & other fees, when redeeming the voucher. These additional taxes & fees will vary & depend on the passenger’s chosen destination.

Buying & Redeeming CEB Super Pass

Cebu Pacific Air rarely offers this CEB Super Pass promotion. Their previous offers happened last May 2021, September 2021 & March 2022. They have not announced when the next super pass promotion will be, but I hope they offer it again in the next few months.

Purchasing & redeeming these CEB Super Pass vouchers is done via the Cebu Pacific Air website. You may head to their airline’s website & look for the CEB Super Pass section or you may directly visit that page using this link https://bit.ly/CEBSuperPass.

Advantages of CEB Super Pass

Buying these CEB Super Pass vouchers comes with these advantages:

Flexibility – Passengers who bought passes need not worry about or plan their trips ahead of time. Redemption of these vouchers starts 30 days up to 7 days before the intended travel date. I’ve used some of my vouchers for last minute trips like these: Legazpi to Manila flight booked 10 days before the flight last November 2021, Manila to Legazpi flight booked 9 days before the intended flight last November 2021 & recently, Manila to Legazpi flight booked exactly 7 days the flight last May 2022.

Long Redemption & Travel Periods – CEB Super Pass vouchers can be redeemed & used for flights for a little over a year from the last day of the promotion. This gives the passengers more time to redeem & use their purchased vouchers. For example, the March 2022 CEB Super Pass vouchers can be redeemed until April 23, 2023 for trips up to April 30, 2023.

Wide Domestic Redemption Network – All CEB Super Pass vouchers can be used on any flight within Cebu Pacific Air’s wide domestic network. This network includes all flights to & from the main hubs (Manila, Cebu, Clark & Davao) to smaller airports like Siargao & Coron. The vouchers can also be used on regional routes like Cebu-Siargao & Legazpi-Cebu.

Worry-Free Airfare Cost – Airfares tend to be more expensive when it’s close to the intended flight date. These expensive fares can be avoided with the CEB Super Pass. The voucher already includes a flat base fare of ₱99. When redeeming flights, you only need to pay for the additional taxes & fees plus flight add-ons. For example, my flight from Legazpi to Manila cost above ₱3,000 one-way on the website. With the CEB Super Pass, I only added ₱288.88. The one-way flight only cost me ₱679.76 versus the ₱3,000+ shown on the website. Great deal, eh?

Available for Purchase for Family & Friends – Yes, you read that right! You can purchase the CEB Super Pass for your family & friends. During purchase, you can name the CEB Super Pass to your family members or friends. He/she can then use it to any domestic flight of choice subject to seat availability.

Disadvantages of CEB Super Pass

The CEB Super Pass is not all about the good points. It also has its disadvantages & limitations. These include the following:

Purchase is Limited During Offer Period – You can only purchase the CEB Super Pass during the airline’s offer period. It is not available for purchase all year round; only on limited timeframes. This also means that the airline already has your money; you can no longer refund, transfer & reroute once purchased & redeemed.

Redemption Limited to Domestic Routes – At the time of writing, the super pass can only be used to Cebu Pacific Air & Cebgo’s domestic network. It cannot be used on the airline’s international routes.

Seat Allocation Limitations – Seats that can be redeemed using the CEB Super Pass are subject to availability. This means that some high-demand flights & routes may not have the CEB Super Pass option upon booking. Also, you can’t use the CEB Super Pass on flights departing & arriving during peak travel periods like long weekends & national holidays.

Future Fares / Offers Can Be Cheaper – Cebu Pacific Air is known for their ₱1 & ₱88 base fare offers. Ticket offers like these can result in a cheaper return ticket than the CEB Super Pass. Last March, the Manila to Davao flight had an ₱88 base fare at the time of booking. I opted not to use my CEB Super Pass for this & went for the ₱88 flight available at the time of booking.

VERDICT – Is It Worth It?

Now that you know more about CEB Super Pass, it’s time for you to have a verdict. Personally, I think this offer by Cebu Pacific is worth it. If you are to ask me the same question when this was first offered in May 2021, I will have a different answer. But after taking my chances on the vouchers last September 2021 & actually using these vouchers for different domestic flights in the last few months, I can definitely speak for the great deal. IT’S WORTH IT!

I believe the biggest perk that this pass gives the passenger is the amount of flexibility he/she has with the pass. Redemption starts 30 days up to 7 days before the intended flight date. This gives the passenger the time to plan everything out. It also gives the passenger the final flight times / schedules at the time of booking. Remember that these details tend to change more often.

The pass also gives the passenger a relief from the high airfare costs because the base fare has already been secured at only ₱99. It may have limitations like seat availability & unavailability during peak travel periods, but it still offers a great value with a high level of flexibility.

Reminder: The CEB Super Pass may not cater to some travelers. Always make sure to study the product & it’s applicability to you & do some due diligence before actually purchasing one.
