been hearing a lot of horrifying experiences of friends flying Cebu Pacific. never had one...well, not until my last bora trip. my flight going to bora was okay but not for Ardie and Dee. their seat was given to other guests and they need to fly to caticalan separately. much to our surprise when we got to caticlan the american+2 kids who got the seats lost their luggage.we were trying to convince ourselves na good thing it was given to them and hindi sila ang nawalan ng luggage. funny thou, the foreigner has the right stub but the other stub is attached to the wrong bag. the rest of my family who took the 3:10 pm flight saturday, october 25, 2008. according to my dad, they got in the plane already and it was ready for take off. my brother noticed the flickering lights on their way to the runway. after few minutes they heard an announcement that they would be to be transferred to a different plane due to electrical problems. they were taxi back to the terminal and flight was delayed for an hour. but the worst of all was on our way home, weather was not that good already. we were walking in the rain...literally. when we got to the airport i thought nothing else can go wrong. our bags were already checked in, heard from peeps there that the 230pm flight was delayed. around 4 we heard an announcement that the flight 904 was diverted to Kalibo because of the bad weather. everyone needs to be transferred to Kalibo for the 630 flight. are they nuts? it will take you roughly 1 and a half hour to 2 hours to get to Kalibo. we took the shuttle thinking that heck its not our fault that their plane was diverted to Kalibo so at least take us there for free. but hell no! we need to pay our fares going to Kalibo. so that's 200php x 3. good thing i have extra money. when we got to Kalibo it was almost 630pm. we were literally running not miss the freakin plane. as expected it was also delayed. we were starving to death and soon i realized i still have the potato wedges from Bite Club. buti na lang! im suppose to come to work at 1 am but i texted Joey and decided not to take the shift...i was just exhausted. crappy airline...i swear! i remember Aj's experience just a few weeks ago. Aj and Al also went to bora...same time when Nikki and i went to Iloilo. Al's flight was different from Aj's and unfotunately because they were few minutes late for check in, airline crew said its either they take the next day's flight back to manila or nothing...well, they decided to take the ro-ro. God! if that happens to me...ill sue them for having such bad customer service. never taking cebu pacific again. i hope. never used them for my bora trips. id rather take Asian Spirit. well, Asian has better hotel packages thou that's why i always use them.
on the other hand...the whole trip was fine. Isha had so much fun. she even thought we can actually live there for good. hahah! mind you, we're like 21 who stayed at El Centro on the first night plus 7 on the second night. lafftrip! we alost occupied the whole place. it was fun! few friends from the office were staying in bora too. met them sunday night to drink with my brother at Guilly's.
bora's never gonna be the same without my Nikki. hoping we can go back next year.
B...missing you so much!
