Airline Launches 'Take Your Mate For Free' Sale From Australia To Philippines

When you're trying to organise a holiday, one of the hardest things is aligning your calendar and finances with your mates.

They might not have saved as much money as you or planned their holidays as well as you, leaving you stuck for a travelling buddy.

But what if there was a way to take care of at least one of those issues.

Cebu Pacific is a low-cost airline from the Philippines and it is trying to attract people to its beautiful, blue shores. When you look at photos of some of the beaches, reefs and islands, it's hard to imagine the place has a demand issue.

But Cebu has just launched its 'Take A Mate For Free' sale, meaning you get a 2-4-1 deal when you buy a ticket to the Philippines.

At the moment, the sale appears to just be for flying from Sydney or Melbourne, with prices for one-way starting at just $199.

When you get your best mate or partner in for free, how could it be a bad thing.

One the website, the deal says: "For every flight booking of 2 passengers, ONE passenger's base fare will be FREE. If you book for 4 people at the same time, you will get TWO passengers' base fares FREE. This applies to international flights only."

The sale lasts from today until November 6 and you can only travel between June 1 - October 15, 2020.
