How to check if your plane ticket is valid:
You want to have a hassle free and affordable vacation so you searched for travel agencies online, compared quotations, chose one, paid and booked. You received your plane ticket and vouchers. So what you should do next.
It’s time to check the validity of the documents issued by the travel agency. Always exercise due diligence in all transactions especially those made online. Huwag po tayong tatamad tamad magcheck ng mga documents. Even if the agency is claiming to be legit and has complete business permits and accreditation, always check and verify.
Kung marunong kang mag facebook at may time kang mag chat online, it will also be easy for you to check if your plane ticket is valid. Huwag pong tumulad sa iba, na after all the preparation and excitement, pagdating sa airport di sila nakasakay dahil non-existent ang booking.
Information here is only limited to checking the validity of plane tickets booked in PAL, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia
It’s as easy as one, two, three
Be ready with the information needed in checking. You need the booking reference which can be found in the upper part of the eticket/itinerary
1. Retrieve your booking in the “Manage Booking” tab of the official website of the airlines
Cebu Pacific: [https://book.cebupacificair.com/Manage/Retrieve](https://book.cebupacificair.com/Manage/Retrieve)
Philippine Airlines: [https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/ph/home -booking-tab](https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/ph/home -booking-tab)
AirAsia: [https://booking2.airasia.com/retrieveextbooking.aspx?culture=en-gb](https://booking2.airasia.com/retrieveextbooking.aspx?culture=en-gb)
Enter the needed details such as booking reference, surname, and in the case of AirAsia the departure city
Click continue or proceed to retrieve your itinerary. If your booking is confirmed, you can get the itinerary similar to the eticket issued by your agency
2. In case the system is unable to locate your flight booking, don’t panic yet. Huwag ka munang mang away ng travel agent mo. Pwede kasing they booked your ticket using a business or personal account and you need their log-in details to be able to retrieve your booking. In the case of PAL, you cannot retrieve bookings made before March 2019. PAL had a system enhancement last March and all bookings before that were given new codes.
Now is the time to have a chat with their Chatbots, Charlie of Cebu Pacific or Ava of AirAsia. I’m sure they will be glad to help you confirm the status of your booking
You can also go to the official page of each airlines and send a message. Be sure to provide the needed details. They may not be able to respond to you immediately, sometimes it will take several hours, or even a day before you can get a reply, but nonetheless you will receive one.
Cebu Pacific: [https://www.facebook.com/cebupacificairphilippines/](https://www.facebook.com/cebupacificairphilippines/)
Philippine Airlines: [https://www.facebook.com/PhilippineAirlines/](https://www.facebook.com/PhilippineAirlines/)
AirAsia: [https://www.facebook.com/airasiaph/](https://www.facebook.com/airasiaph/)
3. I’m sure you can already verify the validity of your ticket by doing numbers 1 and 2. But if di ka pa rin convinced and you want to talk to a live agent, then call their hotline
Cebu Pacific: 702-0888
PAL: 855-8888
AirAsia: unfortunately no Philippine based call center at the moment but they have a 24/7 chat support
See, its not hard to check the validity of your plane ticket. Always be careful and be informed para iwas scam.
