For domestic flights in the Philippines, do I need to book ahead of time?
I will be flying from Manila to Dipolog alone, then from Dipolog to Cebu with someone, then flying back to Manila alone, and my companion will be returning to Dipolog. I want to know if I need to book any of these flights in advance, or are there usually seats available at the last minute?
Basically, I want to do this web of flight planning as simply and efficiently as possible. Thank you very much!
The answer is NO
unless you are after promo fares from Philippine Airlines (www.philippineairlines.com)
and Cebu Pacific (www.cebupacificair.com).
They offer promo fares from time to time, but some of these promo fares are for off-peak seasons so the flight schedule is a few months later.
There should be no problem booking a flight on a closer date unless it falls on holiday season. You should check the two websites. Only local airlines are flying on local destinations like Dipolog.
