“With the resumption of flights to Hong Kong, CEB will be the only airline to operate international flights from Iloilo. We hope this will also make air travel even more affordable and accessible for a wider range of passengers in the Visayas region,” said Candice Iyog, CEB Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer.

As many people tick off their travel bucket lists at this time of the year, here are a few reminders from Cebu Pacific to make air travel much easier this summer season:

1. Be at the airport on time

Cebu Pacific and Cebgo passengers must allot time for traffic going to the airport. Passengers must be at the airport at least two (2) hours before departure for domestic flights, and three (3) hours for international flights. Passengers traveling to Dubai can check in as early as seven (7) hours before departure.

2. Check in online

Long lines may be avoided at the airport by checking in via the official CEB mobile app or via the Manage Booking section of the CEB website. Both options are available from 48 hours up to one (1) hour before scheduled time of departure for domestic flights, and up to four (4) hours before scheduled departure for international fliers.

3. Check flight information, closing times 

Check-in counters close 45 minutes before the scheduled time of departure for domestic flights and one (1) hour for international flights to ensure there is ample time for all necessary pre-flight procedures.Passengers who arrive after the check-in counters close will no longer be allowed to board their flights.

Hi! Life has been a whirlwind lately. As an entrepreneur diving headfirst into the world of owning a business, the days seem to blend together in a blur of activity. Amidst the chaos, I found myself missing something—my blog.

Blogging used to be my solace, my creative outlet where I could share my thoughts, experiences, and updates with the world. But as the demands of entrepreneurship took over, my blog became a distant memory, buried under piles of paperwork and endless to-do lists.

However, amidst the hustle and bustle of running a business, I realized that neglecting my blog meant neglecting a part of myself. So, I decided to reclaim that part of me and reignite my passion for writing.

As I sat down to pen this post, I couldn’t help but reflect on how much has changed since I last poured my thoughts onto the digital page. Becoming an entrepreneur has been both exhilarating and challenging, filled with highs and lows that I never could have anticipated.

Perhaps one of these days I’ll share  all the businesses that I’ve ventured through the years LOL. Some still exists while some failed 😅 but recenty I opened a bookshop it’s a dream come true for me. Books have always held a special place in my heart, and being able to share that passion with others through my own business has been incredibly fulfilling. From curating the perfect selection of titles to creating cozy reading nooks, every aspect of running a bookshop has been a labor of love.

Despite the hectic schedule and endless to-do lists, I’ve realized the importance of making time for the things that bring me joy. And for me, that means reconnecting with my blog and the community of readers who have supported me from the very beginning.

So, here’s to rediscovering the joy of blogging amidst the chaos of entrepreneurship. Life may be busy, but I’m determined to carve out space for the things that matter most—like sharing my journey with all of you.

Thank you for sticking with me on this wild ride. I can’t wait to share more updates, insights, and adventures with you all as I navigate this exciting chapter of my life.

Until Next Time ❤️
