The airline advises affected passengers of the following options:
1. Convert your ticket to a travel voucher with 10% bonus and valid for up to 2 years, which must be requested on or before June 30, 2021.
2. Avail of unlimited rebooking (no rebooking fee) until December 31, 2021. If you will be completing your travel in the same booking class by June 30, 2021 (or ticket validity, whichever comes first), there will be no fare difference charge.
3. Refund your ticket without penalties
The Philippine government introduced early last month a 1,500-daily passenger cap for international inbound passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Some senators earlier questioned the move of the government on imposing the passenger limit on international arrivals saying it is ‘ineffective’.
