Just a tip - if your (US) domestic flight is part of an international trip, meaning you have a continuing international flight, or are continuing from an international flight, the checked-in baggage fee can be waived (at least in the case of American Airlines). But you need to ask them to do it. The checked-in baggage fee can actually be substantial especially if you are traveling in a group.

BREAKING NEWS! PAL has succumbed to the old adage, "If you can't beat them, join them." So the airline will do one better than Cebu Pacific by launching the PAL version of Lynx Airlines. The only problem is, the aging FAs cannot fit into the body-hugging outfits, and none of the passengers want to watch them in a pillow fight.

The only reason I watched the video was to check if my ex-GF was one of those dancing. Gusto ko lang sana gamitin pang-asar since di siya ganun kagaling sumayaw.
Bitter ba? Haha!

It's the men's turn: Cebu Pacific FAs perform safety demo dance
10/08/2010 | 05:46 PM
Cebu Pacific Air invited the media on Friday to witness the in-flight Safety Demonstration Dance, where their flight attendants perform the air safety demo to the beat of dance tunes.
After receiving flak from women's groups and even competitor Philippine Airlines' union of flight attendants for their "***ist and gender-insensitive" gimmick that showed dancing female flight attendants, this time, Cebu Pacific featured male flight attendants. They performed the demonstration dance to the tune of "Safety Dance," a song by Australian band Men Without Hats.
The safety demo dance was done while Flight 5J 936, the 8:00 am flight from Manila to Davao, was at cruising altitude. Another safety demo dance was done during Flight 5J 964 that left 10:00 am from Davao to Manila. A GMA News crew was on board both flights.
The local carrier recently introduced the safety demo dance, featuring women flight attendants dancing to popular songs of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. A video of the unique safety demo was uploaded on YouTube by one of the passengers and has gone viral since, getting more than 8 million views on YouTube as of this posting.
Not everyone was pleased, however. A statement by the Flight Attendants and Stewards Association of the Philippines (FASAP) said the group was "deeply perturbed" by the video, adding that the stereotyping of flight attendants as entertainers "will surely have a negative and ***ist impact in the minds of the public, at the expense of the unwitting female-dancer-flight attendants."
Gabriela Women's Party described the dance as "exploitative" and not part of the flight attendants' job description.
For its part, Cebu Pacific said that the demo dance is done in the interest of providing "fun" safety information and that the flight attendants partake in the demonstrations whole-heartedly.
In an earlier interview with GMANews.TV, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution Candice Iyog said the airline had hired professional choreographers to put together the dance, which is meant to be entertaining and informative at the same time.
"Cebu Pacific has always been known as a fun airline. We were looking for something new and different to show that flight safety does not have to be boring," she said.
Cebu Pacific made it clear that the safety dance has not replaced their standard safety demonstration conducted before takeoff.
The airline is known to have pioneered now-famous promos and gimmicks, including one-peso plane fares and in-flight games. - Candice Montenegro/OMG, GMANews.TVLast edited by Monseratto; October 8th, 2010 at 08:32 PM.
