How to Add Baggage in Cebu Pacific: Step-by-Step Guide

Need extra space for clothes, pasalubong, or other travel essentials? You can add checked baggage to your Cebu Pacific booking through the airline's website or mobile app. Cebu Pacific lets passengers purchase additional baggage or increase their existing baggage allowance through Manage Booking, even after the flight has already been booked.

Cebu Pacific Baggage Allowance

Before adding baggage, check what is already included in your Cebu Pacific fare.

For checked baggage, every 20kg prepaid baggage allowance gives you one checked baggage piece. GO Basic passengers who need checked luggage can purchase it separately as an add-on.

How to Add Baggage in Cebu Pacific After Booking

Already booked your flight without enough baggage? You can add it through Manage Booking.

Step 1: Open Cebu Pacific Manage Booking

Go to the Cebu Pacific website or open the Cebu Pacific mobile app.

Select Manage Booking and log in to your MyCebuPacific account.

A MyCebuPacific account is required if you want to make changes to an existing booking.

Step 2: Find Your Booking

Select the booking you want to manage.

You may need your:

• Booking reference number
• Last name or email address registered in the booking

These details are used to access or link your reservation.

Step 3: Open Your Add-ons

Select Manage for your flight and look for the option to manage your add-ons.

Choose the baggage option for the flight where you need additional checked luggage. Cebu Pacific's app may display this under Manage add-ons.

Step 4: Choose Your Baggage

You can add a checked baggage piece with a base allowance of 20kg.

Cebu Pacific allows passengers to purchase up to three checked baggage pieces through its website or mobile app.

If you already have a 20kg checked baggage allowance but need more weight, you can increase it by:

• 4kg, for a total of 24kg
• 8kg, for a total of 28kg
• 12kg, for a total of 32kg

Adding extra weight increases the allowance for that baggage piece. It does not give you another checked bag.

Step 5: Review and Pay

Check the baggage allowance you selected and review the amount shown before payment.

Complete the payment using one of the available payment methods. Once successful, check your updated booking details to make sure the baggage add-on appears correctly.

How to Add Baggage While Booking a Cebu Pacific Flight

However, you need to complete the baggage purchase through Manage Booking at least two hours before your scheduled flight.

📌 Important: Do not wait until the last minute. Cebu Pacific's Manage Booking feature is only available for booking changes up to two hours before departure.
