Cebu Pacific unveils 1st travelers lounge at Mall

MANILA — Local carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) on Tuesday unveiled its first travelers lounge at the Resorts World Manila (RWM), enabling passengers with flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 to check in there.

“This is the first satellite check-in (lounge) of CEB. This will only cover the flights for NAIA Terminal 3 because RWM is connected there via Runway Manila,” CEB spokesperson Charo Lagamon told the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

Passengers can check in for their flights in this lounge located at the ground floor of RWM’s Newport Mall, during mall hours, or up to eight hours before their flight.

Those who have to check in their bags, however, will still need to proceed to the bag drop counters at the airport.

The lounge is equipped with real-time flight status digital boards to help the guests not to miss their flights.

While passengers can check in online via web or through mobile app, Lagamon said having a travelers’ lounge aims to provide another option for CEB passengers.

RWM will also give them some perks for using the facility, she added.

Lagamon said that CEB has no plan yet to have another travelers lounge.

“This is the first, and we are seeing how it turns out,” she said.
