We were unfortunate not to be able to take our flight to Kalibo for Boracay last week because Cebu Pacific Air got an on-time schedule.  Our flight was supposed to be at 8:20am, however, we arrived 7:35am or so at the airport.  I think we were late by 5 minutes and the system is already closed and the duty manager told us she cannot open the system anymore. The system closes 45 minutes before the departure time.

So, instead of taking the Kalibo trip for Boracay, we opted to go for the next Caticlan flight and we had to add around Php7,000 (good for two) for the flight. 

Lesson is, be on time when you are travelling so you will have hassle-free holiday.
