((Check-In and Boarding Guidelines))

Check-in counters for domestic flights strictly close 45 mins before the scheduled time of departure. Meanwhile, check-in counters for international flights close one (1) hour before the scheduled time of departure. Wear a face mask.

Cebu Pacific offers a flexible and user-friendly check-in process, allowing passengers to choose from multiple options for a hassle-free travel experience. One of the most convenient methods is online check-in, which opens 48 hours before the scheduled departure and closes 1 hour before domestic flights and 2 hours before international flights. Travelers can check in through the official Cebu Pacific website or mobile app, enabling them to select their preferred seats, add prepaid baggage, and receive a mobile or digital boarding pass instantly. This process helps save time at the airport and is ideal for passengers without special service needs.[1_8665511186_

For those who prefer checking in at the airport, Cebu Pacific airport check-in counters open 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international departures. These counters close 45 minutes before domestic and 60 minutes before international flights, so arriving early is highly recommended. Additionally, self-service kiosks are available at select airports and can be used up to 8 hours before the flight by entering your 6-character booking reference. These kiosks allow you to check in, print your boarding pass, and tag your luggage if needed.

Passengers with checked baggage must ensure they drop off their bags at the bag drop counters before the cut-off times to avoid delays. Those who are part of group bookings, require special assistance, or are traveling as unaccompanied minors, or OFWs with travel tax exemptions, may not be eligible for online check-in and should head directly to the counter.

To ensure a seamless journey, it’s advised to arrive at the airport early, especially for international flights where immigration and document checks may still be necessary even after online check-in. Boarding typically begins 45 minutes before departure and gates close 15 to 30 minutes prior, depending on the destination.
