Cebu Pacific...is this the best budget airline to HK and SE Asia?

[mang ponso]

Naghahanap lang po ng info about Cebu Pac airline....

We are planning to go to Hong Kong for a "rest and recreation". Before, we used to go by the major airlines like PAL or Cathay Pacific. But the growing family necesitates that we at least save on our hard-earned cash by going "budget" this time. Noong kami lang nin Mrs ang pumupunta sa HK, Ok lang mag Cathay. Pero mayroon nang dumagdag na 4 na abobot -- kaya dapat magtipid (he,he, he.) The thing is, I really don't want to take the cheapest airline to HK without realising that the "cheap" airline also sacrificed their safety and maintenance record to save money. (I think I heard of one incidence of Cebu Pac plane crashing in Cagayan(?). Don't know if it was true.)If Cebu Pac is not the best of the current budget airlines, which one is best.? Of the alternatives (like Dragonair, Tiger Airways etc) - what are their records with regards to safety and time-keeping?

Another reason why I would like to find out their time-keeping records is that we plan to connect to another airline once in HK. We really do not want to miss our connecting flight because of poor time-keeping of the airline we decide to take.

I thank you all in advance................

cebu pacific and CR airways are the only budget airlines that fly to HK. cebupac takes off from NAIA while CR airways uses Clark airport. i haven't tried CR airways yet so i comment on its safety or promptness. cebupac, like PAL, also isn't always on time. so if you'll take a connecting flight, just make sure you have a couple of hours in between your flights. anyway, you won't get bored waiting for your next flight in the new HK airport.

Tama, cheapest pa rin Cebu Pacific Book in advance para makuha mo yung cheapest

[boybi]

but if you'll book for a flight that will depart in a week or 2, cebupac will not be cheap. most of the time, PAL is cheaper.

At dati pag may Citibank Gold Master or visa Card, pwede mo gamit yun Northwest Airlines Lounge sa HK airport kahit anung carrier sakay mo(may all you can drink na juice, beers, hard drinks at all you can eat na food) Pati lounge sa Manila pwede rin pero wala na ngayn ganung deal e Pero ibang credit card meron pa yata e

About the food
Do you guys know if it's possible to bring food into the plane?
As in magdala ng jolibee or mcdo take out? or any other take out for that matter.

Thanks

rumors na naririnig ko sa cebu pacific:

1. in singapore, they dont land on the international airport. sa budget airport din sa singapore?

2. Cebu Pacific is currently cracking down on gadgets with lithium batteries. nakakasunog daw? madami daw naka-experience na pinatapon mga digicam batteries nila?

3. is it true na habang nakasakay ka sa cebu pacific, hindi papakainin unless mag labas ka ng P100.00 na isisigaw daw?
