The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is defining global health crisis which leads the countries to limiting travel, quarantining citizens, cancelling large gathering events and other ways to slow down the spread of the virus while they were treating patients and looking for treatment.

One of our concern is our travel plans, especially in between dates of quarantine. All flights are cancelled and passengers are allowed to rebook or refund their tickets. But how will you depend your decision for these options? What will be your emotion?

Refund your ticket

Are you one of passenger who will request for a refund and credit back to your bank accounts? Since we don’t have specific date and time when this will end, maybe you decided not to take risk of your health and spend it more to our everyday needs. Or maybe you want a refund because you’re no longer connected to your travel partner? Kidding aside, but this could be possible due to quarantine.

Will you also refund your ticket through travel fund? Airlines also allow passengers to refund their flight tickets through travel fund. Passengers can use their travel fund as payment when they booked a new flight. I haven’t tried this because we decided to rebook our flights.

Rebook your flight

Since airlines allow us to rebook our flight with minimal cost or no cost at all, you chose to rebook it on the next holiday or long weekend and hopeful that your flight will no longer be cancelled and the pandemic is over.

In my personal case, we already rebooked our flights. Fortunately there were no additional cost. Our flight airline is Cebu Pacific and it is very easy to rebook the flight through their manage booking if your have an online account on them. But if you have no luck in using their manage booking, you can still reach them through their hotlines and agents will gladly assist you. Be also aware that it will took you half an hour to an hour waiting for agents to assist you so I suggest you use landline phones instead of cellular phone.

Seat Sale

To give you an idea if you haven’t check the flights fare, most of the Philippine destinations are on sale or much cheaper than the usual fare price. Philippine Tourism is recommended if quarantine is lifted to support our economy.

Hope this pandemic will be over soon so we can go back to normal and continue to tour around the Philippines and international countries. Let’s continue to pray for a better tomorrow. See you all on board soon.
