Cebu Pacific just announced recently this August 2018 that they can fly you a round trip Manila to Melbourne, Australia 3x daily. The direct flight to the land of kangaroos is around 8 hours and you will be riding a Cebu Pacific’s bigger plane - Airbus A330 on a low cost price.
Many travelers got excited with the announcement, because they can now travel on a budget and enjoy low cost traveling with Cebu Pacific and the most exciting part -- watch out for upcoming promos at Cebu Pacific website and Facebook page for seat sales and also airfare packages.
Cebu Pacific flies to Australia every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday only, that’s 3x per week and we’re happy that Cebu Pacific can take the ordinary Juan to the land down under. I heard that the weather there is similar in Baguio, but there are cold season which is super cold around Ber months up to mid year, and then summer season comes right after half of the year. And we pinoys love cold and hot weather just like here in the Philippines ( Baguio and Tagaytay lang naman ang may cold weather,kaya parang ganun na din yun hehe)
So if you’re planning to book that coveted flight, here are some of the things you can do to make the most of your vacation in Melbourne:
Explore its diverse food scene
One of the best things about Melbourne is the abundance of gourmet restaurants and cheap eats. It is home to laneways and arcades lined with trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants that serve all kinds of cuisine to satisfy your cravings. So whether you’re looking for a yummy plate of pasta, a cup of great-tasting coffee, or even a delicious glass of wine, the streets of Melbourne offer everything you want at any time of day or night.
Photo walk along the streets filled with art
Melbourne also prides itself with a thriving art scene that is seen even in the streets. Alleyways and walls decorated in graffiti and underground art galleries have become a must-see for tourists. To get a glimpse of some of Melbourne’s best street art, make your way to Hosier Lane, Flinders Court, Union Lane, and Russell Place.
Enjoy events and festivals
With various theatres, museums, and live music venues, Melbourne is easily Australia’s cultural hub. The city is always buzzing with different activities that cater to visitors’ interests – from fashion and art, to film and music, and even sports. If you’re a tennis fan, you can catch the Australian Open in January and watch your favorite athletes in action.
Go on a shopping spree
What’s a trip out of the country without splurging on the best fashion items and pasalubongs for your loved ones? Melbourne is one of the cities where you can shop until you drop with the abundance of shopping centers and thrift stores where you can purchase items on a bargain. If you’re the adventurous type, you can discover hidden gems in the boutiques and outlets you can find tucked in the inner streets.
Watch out for some announcement at Cebu Pacific’s Facebook Page for the next promo travel fare to Australia.
I did some research today and the normal rates is at PHP 7,561.96 if you will just FLY without check in baggage, and a rate at PHP 9,361.96 if you FLY with check in baggage, and a rate at PHP 9,711.96 if you want meal included. Also taxes and fees are also included in the final rate.
Whoaaa..if the promo offered last August is as low as PHP3,999, then that’s one awesome offer!!!
To celebrate the announcement of Cebu Pacific, they’ve invited us to visit them at Bondi&Bourke, an Australian restaurant in Makati. They also organized some trivia games all about Australia and we learned so many things about the people, the culture and also about Aussie pop culture.
The food is great here at Bondi&Bourke, and I didn’t know we have an authentic Australian resto in Makati. Im so curious about the Australian meat pie, I will go back here next time to try the famous meat pies.
Cheers! And see you in Melbourne guys!
