The
20% airfare discount and 12% VAT can be availed by all Filipino Senior Citizens
and PWDs. For bookings made through the website or mobile app, the passengers
need to input
their details, including their date of birth or the number stated on their
identification cards (Senior Citizen Card or PWD card). The total amount
discounted can be found both on the ‘booking summary’ portion of the website, as
well as the ‘fare breakdown’ or ‘payment details’ portion of the itinerary
receipt.
The discount extended to Senior Citizens and PWDs only
covers airfare, and does not cover ancillary services such as food, baggage
allowance and seat selection.
Upon
check-in, passengers who availed of the discount are required to present their Senior
Citizen ID issued by the Office of Senior Citizen Affairs (OSCA); or PWD ID issued
by the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA). In lieu of these, they
may show other valid government-issued IDs that reflect their
nationality and birthdate such as Passport, Driver’s License, Voter’s ID,
SSS/GSIS ID, PRC Card, Postal ID, PWD ID issued by the Office of Persons with
Disability Affairs (PDAO) or the City/Municipal Social Welfare and Development
Office (CSWDO/MSWDO) of the place where the PWD resides, or their
Transportation Discount Fare Identification Card issued by the National Council
for the Welfare of Disabled Persons (NCWDP).
“Through
this system upgrade, we hope to be able to better serve the travelling public
and make it easier for our Senior Citizens and PWDs to avail of the discounts. We
also recognize the efforts of the House Committee on Transportation, the
Department of Transportation and the Civil Aeronautics Board in drafting
these guidelines that would govern the granting of discounts for senior
citizens and PWDs on online transactions as these have been seen growing
exponentially over the past years,” said Atty. JR Mantaring, Vice
President for Corporate Affairs of Cebu Pacific.
