MANILA, Philippines — Planning to take family trips outside of the metro but still worried about where to get the budget for your out-of-town trip, which could usually cost you an arm and a leg?

Airphil Express, the country’s fastest growing budget airline, announced that from October 6 to 7, anyone can book a flight from Manila to Iloilo (and vice versa) via Airphil Express for only P500 through its Express Sale promo fares.

To further boost air travel between Manila and other provinces in the Visayas, Airphil Express is also offering a similar Express Sale promo worth P500 for travel from Manila to Cebu (and vice versa), Manila to Legazpi (v.v.), Manila to Tacloban (v.v.), and Manila to Tagbilaran (v.v.).

For passengers coming from Mindanao, Airphil Express is also offering the same rate for travel from Zamboanga to Davao (v.v.), Zamboanga to Jolo (v.v.) and Zamboanga to Tawi-Tawi (v.v.). These P500 express promo sale would be available for sale up to October 7 only, or until seats last. Travel period is from November 1 to December 20, 2011.

Aside from these regular Express Promo Sale, Airphil Express is also proud to have pioneered the 24/7 customer support service — a first in the local budget airline industry. “By primarily utilizing the modern tools of social media such as Twitter and Facebook, we are able to get in touch and be responsive to our customers’ needs, any time of the day, or any day of the week,” beams Herrera.

Airphil Express offers free check-in baggage allowance of 15 kilos plus free 7 kilos hand-carry luggage. This particular service, previously standard and free with most other budget airlines, has since become an additional at-cost service.
