✈️ TRAVEL ADVISORY: FUEL SURCHARGE INCREASE ALERT

Mabuhay, Travelers!

We would like to inform everyone that airlines such as Cathay Pacific and HK Express have started implementing significant fuel surcharge increases due to the continuous rise in global fuel prices.

Recent reports show that fuel surcharges have more than doubled, with some routes increasing from around HK$140 to HK$290 per sector starting mid-March 2026.

This adjustment is mainly driven by the sharp increase in jet fuel costs worldwide, which greatly affects airline operations and ticket pricing.

📌 What does this mean for travelers?
• Higher airfare costs on newly issued tickets
• Possible adjustments on existing bookings (depending on airline policy)
• Continued fare volatility in the coming weeks

💡 Our Advice:
✔️ Settle and confirm bookings early to secure current rates
✔️ Expect possible fare adjustments for upcoming travel dates
✔️ Coordinate closely with your travel provider for updates

At Panaw Travel and Tours Corp., we remain committed to keeping you informed and helping you secure the best available options despite ongoing industry changes.
