Flown with this type once, going to Davao from Manila, and I say it's super worth it. I got lucky that time that the A330-900 I flew with was not full with passengers. I was blessed to be seated in 17C which is next to one of the emergency doors, and since that airplane was not full with passengers, I asked one of the flight attendants to be seated on a window seat, which was easily granted. I also felt the better handling of the aircraft when it comes to turbulence management, I mean we sure went through some clouds during the flight, but I hardly ever felt the turbulence associated with it.
I've flown with Cebu Pacific's A330neo between Dubai-Manila and back. The flight was very comfortable. I didn't felt that we were so many people on board. Also comparing to flighta i took with Turkish Airlines A350 And 777, United B787-10. I would take again a flight with Cebu for sure! Also i paid 39 EUR for the MNL-DXB flight 🤣
@barrs817 Of course, but with the price difference they have, I normally choose low cost airlines the most of the times. For example I've flown from ATH to JFK for 98 EUR with Norse which is a low cost, and returned back for 5 EUR using Star Alliance miles on United (normal price was 800 EUR). Norse's seats where better for sure. More comfortable. And it was cheaper
An absolute beast of the modern era, a few of these older Cebu Pacific A333 have gone on to fly for US-Bangla airlines on their Jeddah-Dhaka route Literally manifesting the “bus” part in airbus
I flew onboard this aircraft once, had my expectations shattered as it didn’t feel cramped at all, the seat’s vibrant color and thinness gives a roomy feeling, along with the bright ambiance of the cabin, even though the seat has no recline I felt it’s padded enough One thing I noticed with the A330neo is that the overhead bins are a bit higher or it’s just with the design? (It’s been years since I’ve flown their old A330)
Some years ago, I took an Air France 747-400 "métropole", this was their 747 full economy that mainly used to do trips between their carrabean islands (Guadloupe and Martinique) and Paris but sometimes to Montréal too. I don't remember the number of seats, but it was around 500 seats.
Experienced this for Manila-Bangkok. I got dizzy just going back and forth to the lavatory because the seat rows seem endless but for a 5’9 like me, there is still 2-3 inch leg room left. Overall comfortable 3 and half hour trip.
Filipino here. I'm really thankful at Cebu Pacific (and AirAsia PH) for making flying attainable to an average Filipino. Though I don't really fly Ceb Pac anymore, I'm still thankful since they force other airlines to compete in pricing. IIRC, PAL started offering basic fare (without luggage allowance) on domestic flights to compete with Cebu Pacific. My only experience with Cebu Pacific was flying from Manila to Singapore in their A330-300 with 436 seats. It was my first time flying that time and it was alright, nothing special. Cabin felt crowded and the seats were a bit tight but not much to complain about on a 3.5hr flight.
Flew on these to Hong Kong and back. Both flights were full with 459 passengers onboard. As a tall guy, I wouldn't take this aircraft on flights longer than 4 hours but honestly, it's alright and you do get slightly more legroom compared to an A320/321. My biggest gripe though had to do with the climate control. It was getting really hot near the windows.
Flew on Cebu Pacific once, MNL to SIN in 2019 in their sardine can A330-300. Had I known better, I would gladly have paid double to not fly on Cebu Pacific. Nothing about the experience was pleasant. Not the online booking, not the shockingly untrained ground personnel, not the lack of communication from the airline when they changed the flight schedule, not the super uncomfortable seats. Haven’t flown on them since.
I flown with 5J’s A330-941 between MNL-DVO on 7th of April, 2024. Although it’s a bit packed due to high demand of that route and even I don’t like my seating position because I’m at the seat 40E (middle seat). Despite of that seating position issues, at least I can plug my gadgets onto their seat charger, their seat seems comfortable despite the way it designed and nothing problem for me because I’m 4’9” petite guy, a chance to take a picture and video a beautiful sunset & “Sharklet” by take a sit on a vacant seat, and requested to the cabin crew if I visit the plane’s cockpit + take a picture. It was my 2nd time to fly the A330 series (the 1st was on January, 2016 with their now-retired A330-300), and 1st time to fly a Neo version. Just like other people who experienced this highly-dense A330-941 in long haul trip, I’m might not likely to fly it cause I’m not comfortable. I’m ok this plane for short haul, highly-dense flight like the ones that I’ve flew.
they're actually not that bad.... as an asian with shorter legs, it's actually comfortable since the recaro seats are shaped nicely and have no need to recline also, it still smells new 😅

Cebu Pacific is the first and only Philippine brand that lights up Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. 💖👑 Cebu Pacific paid Millions to Emaar Properties, owner of Burj Khalifa, to light up Burj Khalifa in Dubai for few minutes.💖
I've flown with this type 3 times. One from Manila to Tokyo Narita last year and vice-versa MNL-HK-MNL this year. I've no complain, fly smooth affordable fare.
My local airline. I live in Cebu Philippines and I rode their turboprops many times. In fact, I only rode many turboprops and one jet (A320) and only flew to and from one region. Never got out of visayas
I rode this beast on a MNL-NRT flight. I'm 5'11 and it's not so bad. The ticket was gloriously cheap. However, not sure I would enjoy any of the longer flights in this.
It was intended for shorter travel and for cheap travel for Filipinos. It was for poor to say the least but being poor in the Philippines isn't embarassing for many. Being poor rich or in the middle is ok.
There’s a mistake in your video. You mention that Condor is the next highest capacity A339 after Cebu. That’s incorrect. Lion Air has a slightly less dense 436 seater. There are others too that are higher than Condor’s capacity
Flew on 5J's A339 for MNL-TPE and it's quite the treat. LCC's gonna LCC but cebpac def has a good product despite the budget offering. The seats are better than the ones on easyjet's A32Ns, surprisingly. Can't wait for them to consider getting A350s and A321XLRs lol. all economy manila-europe time
I knew about the 9-Abreast high-density economy class configuration on the A330. Even though I never experienced it, I saw images and videos inside Cebu Pacific's A330NEOs when I researched this.
Some additional words, I think the seats might be more uncomfortable than the 787s with 9-abreast economy class configuration and the 777s with 10-abreast configuration.
I flew on this MNL-MEL, an 8 hour journey right after my MNL-NRT business with JAL. I can't complain especially I'm paying just a fraction. Also, I chose the rear seats where there's only 2 in a row 😅
I fly these on SYD-MNL, the cabin feels far roomier and brighter than PAL. The seats *are* thin and narrow (as expected from 9-abreast seating) but are pre-reclined at a nice angle and support the back on the right places. The USB-C charging is neat and with the better A/C and quieter cabin over older A330s, I think it's a winner for medium/semi-long haul. Not tried Qantas yet to compare.
Flew this aircraft from MNL to BKK earlier this year. Clean and fresh compared to the national carrier except they don't turn on the a/c until we reached a certain altitude and all the cabin lights, even the fasten seatbelts signs, were turned off during the flight - strange
Philippines airlines are getting problem because they are bankrupt but Pal want to sell the plane back to the government but after the pandemic left they change there mind and buy more plane to compete on Cebu Pacific
Good for us.. if you have emergency way back home and you don't have enough money to travel immediately just took this good aircraft,.. base on my experience I am very happy..
I was just in a CebuPacific A330 NEO this month. From ICN to MNL. The flight is also FULL. Very uncomfortable overall! My flight from MNL to ICN, in a CebuPacific A321 NEO is much better 🛫
Have flown on this between Manila and Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi recently. It’s not as bad in terms of the legroom as I had more than enough of it. (I’m 5’8”) My issue was more with the width of the seat in relation to your shoulders. It was uncomfortable in that sense. Surprisingly wasn’t as uncomfortable as I thought for a 3 hour flight. However I couldn’t imagine myself taking this to Melbourne, Sydney or Dubai, which do use these A330neos for service. Wouldn’t fly Cebu Pac for anything longer than 5 hours of flight.
I flew EMIRATES, CEBU PAC and Philippine Airlines, from Dubai to Manila vice versa all in economy class... Of course the EMIRATES is the best overall and the i can say for me a 5"8 height 78kg, I think Ive flown the latest Cebu Pac plane from DXB to MNL last July it wasnt like before its very comfy to be honest than my previous Cebu Pac experience.....
I flew the A330 neo both on an 8 hr flight to DXB and a 2hr flight to DVO. For the 2 hr flight its bearable but on the 8hr flight its not that comfortable. The old A330-300 is more comfortable than the new one.
They are okay for Filipino's and I can even manage them for the short but slightly uncomfortable flight between Manila and Davao, but I am a big fat American, so I wouldn't do a longer flight. However, they don't feet that cramped, just pay a little extra and get seats near the front of the plane as most pinoy's won't spring for the extra cost and you may get a whole empty row.
It would be great if in such videos the authors also indicated the width of the seats, the step between the rows and the distance available for the knees from the seat to the back of the seat in front )
my inly issue with 5J, or any low-cost airline for that matter, theres no live map, so uoure just in the dark as to where you are and have to rely on a timer to guage how much longer the flight js
If all of you are just complaining about the cramped space, then go pay wayyy more to some other airline. Cebu Pacific is a budget airline, don’t expect to be treated like the president
To me, the basic seat metrics aren’t anything too outside norms for a true Y cabin product.. you’ve evidently got in-seat power to boot.. all that off a PR- based LCC? For me, that’s a strong win. the pax-lav ratio is a bit tight, but here too, not something that I would think would be a deal-breaker.
Yes,i've flown with Cebu Pacific Airbus A330neo last December 30,2022 from Manila(MNL) to General Santos(GES), Cebu Pacific A330neo is better than A330ceo which i flown last December 25,2021 and January 22,2022.

Nevertheless, I was seated on "E" or the middle of the plane seat. As an average sized asian, i find it somehow uncomfortable but was OK as I was seated in the middle of 2 people (friends) I know. I know it can get very uncomfortable if you don't know the people beside you. 0 personal space at all and you would be brushing arms 100% of the time lol.
I guess the price is the main priority for customers flying with Cebu Pacific. Not the number of passengers onboard. Personally, I wouldn't like to travel on this aircraft. Far too many people in a tube, for my liking!
@@dereklenzen2330 more seats = more passengers to carry I once thought the timing of the neo’s arrival was off as travel wasn’t back yet late 2021, but I was wrong. When a typhoon struck Cebu, the A330neo got its first full pax load for the first time flying stranded people out There was a flight during that time where they had 463 (Crew included) people onboard
It is legal. It’s not marketed for the rich. It’s for the poor overseas workers who can barely afford ticket rates. In order to make up for the cheap price the Airline had to do this. Just find a better airline if you can afford it rather than complain.

Imagine if this airline or indigo gets it's hands on a A380. 😂
The seat of this good with charging port compare to some carrier in philippines who does not offer and more expensive ticket
Hoping ME can fly soon🙏
Recently flew on one less than 3 days ago Manila (MNL) to Osaka (KIX) and vice versa - 4 hours. I was seated at the far back portion of the plane where the configuration is 2-3-2. Nevertheless, I was seated on "E" or the middle of the plane seat. As an average sized asian, i find it somehow uncomfortable but was OK as I was seated in the middle of 2 people (friends) I know. I know it can get very uncomfortable if you don't know the people beside you. 0 personal space at all and you would be brushing arms 100% of the time lol.
Man, flying sardines! Really wish airlines would give a bit more space for the hard earned money of their passengers.
Airlines 'give' something??!! You are joking, right?
Not suitable for long haul flights.
Hawaii needs Cebu Pacific
777-300ER better choice.
With operation cost I see why the A330-9 was chosen.
Do least dense aircraft!
sunclass Airlines have 385 seats in their A330-900
I'm curious, is the guy speaking AI or an actual person because his voice is so robotic but kinda natural in a weird way
he had a cold before and the voice was different lol
Add some sunflower oil and seal the doors, and you can sell them as canned humans :)
JUST AS I RODE ONE
As long as people accept suffering as part of flying, carriers will keep on squeezing more seats in.
I guess the price is the main priority for customers flying with Cebu Pacific. Not the number of passengers onboard. Personally, I wouldn't like to travel on this aircraft. Far too many people in a tube, for my liking!
i flew from bkk to mnl..the experience is trumatizing..you can smell the lavatory..
Can I get a hi from everyone
USB charging is greatly appreciated
Imagine how cramped the legroom will be 💀
Bro challenges A380
That's in a 4 Class configuration.
@@dennis12dec Thanks Captain Obvious
459 seats in an A330-900.
You may not like it,
but this is what peak performance looks like.
@@dereklenzen2330 more seats = more passengers to carry
I once thought the timing of the neo’s arrival was off as travel wasn’t back yet late 2021, but I was wrong. When a typhoon struck Cebu, the A330neo got its first full pax load for the first time flying stranded people out
There was a flight during that time where they had 463 (Crew included) people onboard
Now wait for 630 seats in a 777-9 with 3-5-3 configuration.
@@liambengif7663
Airbus used to refer to the 5 abreast option as the double-excuse me.
@@marcg1686 I've heard the middle seat in 5-abreast referred to as the "prisoner's seat."
a380 actually said you could do a 3 5 3 config
At what point are they gonna start wanting to target the US mainland. They should so they can start putting more pressure on PAL.
Densiest A330
And once again, do we really need the 777X
cringe
Yes, because some airlines want to transport 400+ passengers AND offer comfort at the same time.
Well it couldn't be any worse than an all coach DC-8-61 charter airliner in the 1970s
If you are under 6' you'll be fine but over? Oh boy.
Making people fly like canned sardines on this airplane for more than two hours should be made illegal.
asian people are shorter tho
I will not fly a 3-3-3 A330 or a 3-4-3 B777 except for emirates
Very close to Virgin's A340-600 economy cabin.
Flown that a few times.
Only makes sense given how small Asians are
Horrible. Sardines have more room.
Yes, but no windows, no toilets, and not allowed to choose their destination!😁🤣
exageration
the person above me is kind of correct
@arienoordzij3823 lol
Sounds like a nightmare.
The worst! No aircon vents! Fewer lavatories. Never using cwb pac internationally ever again
Include me out
I bet in gay
I couldn't fly on that flying sardine can of a plane squished between passengers. I'll stick to Qatar and Emirates.
Disgusting. This should not be allowed
It is legal. It’s not marketed for the rich. It’s for the poor overseas workers who can barely afford ticket rates. In order to make up for the cheap price the Airline had to do this.
Just find a better airline if you can afford it rather than complain.
The Flying Prison
Sardines class.
Thats torture
Just flew this type from Manila to Melbourne return. It is too crowded and no seat incline for coping with an 8 hour flight.
