MANILA -- Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines said Wednesday they were canceling all domestic and international flights until April 30, in step with the Philippines' coronavirus lockdown.

Passengers can rebook for free, place the value of the canceled ticket in a travel fund or get a full refund, Cebu Pacific and PAL said in separate statements.

Cebu Pacific said the travel fund will be valid for 1 year. The fund can be used to book flights up to 1 year ahead or pay for baggage, seat selection and other add-ons.

Refunds will be processed from May 4 but could take 3 to 4 billing cycles to process due to an unprecedented volume of requests, Cebu Pacific said.

For those with flights from May 1, which are not covered by the travel ban, the travel fund will be valid for 1 year, PAL said

For those with canceled flights until April 30, rebooking is free of charge and unlimited. However, from the second rebooking, fare difference, taxes and no show fees may be collected, PAL said.
