I read it here:

I was planning to visit my sibling who's working there for 8 years. We are planning to take our parents there for a vacation and shop some gadgets there as well. But the problem before is that the airfare was s high I could not even afford it.
Thanks to Cebu Pacific for giving affordable airfare and some seat sale too!!

hi there bhonti,
i was also fascinated with the promo being given by cebu pacific. yet the amount is so affordable. i was just wondering how about the visa cost, the last time i heard, the visa was quite expensive.

That's good new to those who wants to visit their families working in Dubai wherein not possible due to high price of airfare. If you want to take a vacation in Dubai you can also avail a cheaper seats offered by Thai Airlines. I've been in Dubai last year, only stop over from Riyadh to Manila. Et'ihad and Emirates known airlines from UEA.

Yes, we should trust our own airlines than any other
Sorry but I don't have any experience at all in Thai Airlines. Never book yet, I prepare Et'ihad, Emirates, Qatar Airlines and Saudi Airlines.
I only based to some of my friends who use to ride Thai Airlines. So far, they are good.

If I am rich person then I could avail that but of course I want the tourist attractions like having accommodation in Burj Al Arab and going inside the Burj Khalifa. It could be easy for now to travel because of the airfare but not the tour. How I wish I can do that since the travel period is October which is my birthday.

I also wanted to go to Burj Khalifa as well. That's where they shot the Mission Impossible movie right? Yes you are right about the tour, it's quite expensive. But there might be some package tours offering discounts, still a bit expensive though, but hey, October is how many months away, you can still save money before your birthday comes.

wow that is wonderful. that is a good news to all the Filipino tourist and OFW in Dubai. it means they can now save some money for a little reason. after all i think some local airlines would be having a flight soon just like what Cebu Pacific did.

Nice to hear this news. I hope CEBPAC will offer lower air fare for this destination. I am planning to visit DUBAI maybe this year. We should be watchful to airfare promos to avail very cheap fare to DUBAI. I am happy for this!!!

That's indeed great news for you because your sibling is there.
I read about this news in my email yesterday and was glad. I posted it on Instagram and thought Al Burj is just within reach thanks to Cebu Pacific.

Hello Bhonti, Wow! how could Cebu Pacific could have afford to have that kind of deal with Dubai's Airlines, must have been really cool that they can afford to air service from here to Dubai. I bet OFw's are even luckier now because they can afford Cebu pacific? ayways, am glad they finally come up with a deal with this.have a nice day and have a safe flight

Exactly, my sister is an OFW there, working in Jumeirah Hotel, and now, thanks to Cebu Pacific, we can get to visit there. And also, our family can also spend our family vacation there as well. How awesome is that?!
As I recalled from the article, they have leased I think some aircraft that can handle up to 13-hour long flights, and luckily, Dubai is just a 9-hour flight from Manila.
