MUST KNOW: Rights of every air passenger

Remember the holiday chaos that took place inside NAIA Terminal 3 at the Cebu Pacific hub last December 25? 

Some flights have been delayed/cancelled. Passengers were lining up long queues with just a few people manning the area. Some weren't able to board the plane and arrive at their destinations on time. Some weren't even able to celebrate Christmas with their families, just because of lack of manpower or possible, human errors. To be honest, Cebu Pacific did violate some of your rights as flight passengers. And you didn't know that you have these rights?

It is, therefore, important for every Filipino (yes, us Pinoys) to know what rights we have as air passengers. Ano ba ang mga karapatan natin bilang pasahero ng Cebu Pacific, ZestAir, AirAsia, PAL, Air Philippines, Tiger Air, o ano pa?

This infographic released by the Official Gazette, the national government's online publication will summarize all of our rights once we enter the airports and reach the terminals. Yes, we have rights and these rights need to be upheld and protected.

Just left-click on the picture to zoom and read this very concise summary. Mas masaya mag-print kayo nito at ihampas sa pagmumukha ng management ng CebPac or any other airline. :)) Kidding.

Pay for your domestic plane tickets at 7-Eleven

A more convenient way now to pay for domestic air tickets is through 7-Eleven stores, any time of the day.

Through ECPay's Payment Centers in 7-Eleven stores, passengers who book online will no longer need to fall in line at Airphil Express just to pay for their domestic tickets. Instead, they would only have to visit the nearest 7-11 store and pay for their airfare there.

However, only payments for bookings done online, not payments for bookings done through the Airphil Express service hotline, will be accepted in the said facility.

To use the ECPay 7-Eleven AirPhil  Express payment service, just follow the following instructions:

1. Book your flight, the schedule of which must be at least 48 hours before time of booking, through the Airphil Express website.
2. During the process of booking online, select "others" in the Payments option. A reference number with total amount due will be generated by the system. Keep a copy of your reference number and amount; much better if you print the page out.
3. Proceed to the nearest 7-Eleven store. Present the reference number with total amount due and pay. Remember that payment must be done before 11:45 PM of the day the online booking was made.
4. At home, wait for your e-ticket to be sent to your email address.
