I haven’t flown recently with Cebu Pacific (5J) on their Ōsaka route, mainly because their evening arrival at Kansai International Airport (KIX) doesn’t dovetail with my preference for daytime landings. But when a hastily planned group holiday pushed me into choosing their awful outbound schedule – since it was the one that worked best forContinue reading “Flight Report: MNL-KIX on Cebu Pacific Flight 5J 828 (14 February 2019)”

I’ve written before of how Jetstar’s become my airline of choice when flying between Manila and various cities in Japan. (Well, when they’re available anyway.

Flight Report: MNL-NRT-MNL on Jetstar Japan Flight GK40 and GK41
In the past couple of years, the Jetstar group has collectively become my airline of choice when travelling to and from Japan. Attractive fares have played a key part in that rise, but a more important factor is the increase in the number of Japanese cities they now serve directly out of Manila, along withContinue reading “Flight Report: MNL-NRT-MNL on Jetstar Japan Flight GK40 and GK41”
