The latest add-on is called COVID Protect and will cover up to P1 million in COVID-related hospitalization and medical expenses.

This upgrade is part of Cebu Pacific's CEB Travelsure and is available to all passengers flying to and from all of the airline's domestic and international destinations for as low as P270.

Coverage begins on the date of departure from origin and ends two hours upon arrival back at origin, with a maximum travel duration of 30 consecutive days.

CEB Travelsure COVID Protect is underwritten by Insurance Company of North America, a Chubb Company. Chubb is the world's largest publicly traded property and casualty insurance company.

"We are very pleased to launch the CEB Travelsure COVID Protect in line with our commitment to restart travel and tourism safely and sustainably. With COVID Protect, guests will be able to travel more confidently as they are assured of coverage, especially if they have essential travel scheduled," said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific's Vice President for Marketing and Customer Experience, in a statement.
