Flights on Philipine domestic airline Cebu Pacific can be paid for through ATMs with the tickets delivered by SMS.

Travellers with domestic Philipino carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) can pay for their airline tickets via the 1,700 Megalink automated teller machines (ATMs) around the country after making their booking through CEB’s call center or by text message.

The airline also has 12 international destinations but SMS bookings can currently only be made for domestic flights. Introduced by the airline at the end of 2006, booking by text message takes a minimum of 5 SMS messages to book a Cebu Pacific flight.

Candice Iyog, VP Marketing at CEB said that "after payment is confirmed, CEB will send a text message to the passenger containing their e-ticket details on or before 12 noon the following day."

The txtCEB service can also be queried for the latest Flight and Fare Schedules and for updates on special flights and promotions.
