Cheap Travel to Mindanao by Air
There are at least 5 local airlines that serve many cities in Mindanao for air travelers. Cebu Pacific (CEB) and to some extent Air Philippines is setting the pace for all other airlines through its low-cost business model.
If your only concern is to get to point B from point A in a prompt manner in just a fraction of a cost compared with their full-service counterparts then budget airlines are for you.
Most budget airlines offer seat sales regularly. For CEB, bargain hunters should always log-on at its web site every Monday as it is the day seat sales usually starts. I once took advantage of the PISO promotional fare of Cebu Pacific for my Manila-Cagayan de Oro-Manila trip. The 3,000 bucks I paid nearly all went to the Philippine governments as taxes, except for the airline fuel surcharge. One drawback of booking during a seat sale is that your travel date would have to be at least in a month’s time.
For me, I don’t mind traveling with budget airlines when I’m on a vacation because I value more the $avings that I get from them as I can save more than 50% of the ticket price which can buy lots of souvenirs with the money I save… But when I’m on an official trip or someone would buy me a ticket, I don’t mind traveling with a full-service airline like Philippine Airlines. hehehe 
happy traveling!
Another great way of traveling around Mindanao is by car or bus.
yup, i totally agree with you Blogie. il try to discuss in my future posts regarding land transpo and the ro-ro means of transpo in Mindanao.
Well, I agree with the both of you…
Mindanao is such a nice place.
Sadly, I don’t have the patience for traveling by land.
ah well then you probably won’t enjoy it, drew. land travel requires patience indeed…
coz when you go bussing, for example, it’s not the destination that really matters — it’s everything in between!
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this post.
Mindanao is a great destination for adventure travelers. You can find really cheap prices if you book early. I've been there once and looking forward to visit again.
Never been myself, would like to.

If you want to afford the best and cheapest airlines for your flight you can contact LMT. They have lots of great deals and services. I always rely on them whenever I am traveling to other countries or some places which you need to go their by plane. They can also find you a good hotel with good price to stay in.
Mindanao is a nice place but i think it's not safe for the foreign travelers because of what is happening their. But the deals of the airline companies was a good news the travelers can save some money for their ariline tickets.
Mindanao is a nice place but sometimes its not safe for the tourists to visit the place.
