If you've been waiting for the perfect time to book a flight, October might be your golden opportunity. With the recent drop in fuel surcharges, passengers can look forward to cheaper flights both locally and abroad. The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) has announced that the surcharge for the coming month has been lowered to Level 4, the lowest it's been since August last year.
For local travelers, this means an additional charge of only P117 to P342 on top of your airfare, while international passengers can expect fees from P385.70 to P2,867.82. Compared to previous months where the surcharges were higher, these rates make travel more affordable, especially as the holiday season approaches.
Fuel surcharges, which are separate from the base fare, are typically used by airlines to cover fluctuating fuel costs. With the recent reduction, travelers have a great chance to explore new destinations without breaking the bank.
So, if you&rsquo;ve been dreaming of a vacation or planning to visit family this holiday season, now might be the best time to grab those tickets. Lower prices, combined with the upcoming festivities, make October a month to look forward to for both adventure and relaxation.
