Flew PAL Business Class, LAX/MNL R/T with wife few months back. The A-lounge in Manila Terminal 1 was a joke. Typhoon hit Manila day before we left. Our flight trail the typhoon after reaching Taiwan. Rough turbulence nonstop from there until just before Seattle. The 'Angle Bed' dangling 2/3 way down, and hit the floor board with every dip and turbulence. Wife's IFE never worked, even after flight attendent reset. The 2-3-2 configuration leave no room between seats for accessories. Several passengers had their cellphone slipped under the seat during flight. My included. Had to wait for aircraft mechanic to come on board at Manila to take the seat apart to retrieve the phone. Can't leave without it. All immigration data were loaded on the phone. $11,000 for second class flight. So glad UNITED now have nonstop SFO-MNL. Their 777-300 Business Class are configured 1-2-1 with plenty of space. Most importantly, they have '180 degree' flat bed. There R/T fare is $4900. Sorry PAL. UNITED SFO-MNL my choice for Philippine from now on.

1-2-1 is way better. I flew LAX to MNL on the 2-2 configuration and I hated having to crawl over the guy sitting next to me, that was laid out in their flat bed sleeping, every time I needed to use the CR.

Are all the a321 neo? I dont want that old a321

Thank you for the video! Well-done 🎉

Great video! Shit soundtrack!!

Did you know that the iconic trademark "Sarong Kebaya" worn by the cabin crew of Singapore Airlines was created by the renowned French fashion designer Pierre Balmain in the 1970s is well known in the world of Haute Couture along with Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Kenzo, and other big names in the fashion houses of Paris, France.

These Mabuhay Class seats are almost Identical to a Korean Air 2-3-2 Prestige Class B777 BE Minpod. If you're traveling as a family you take the whole row but leave the middle seat to a different passenger. Had this experience on KE086 HL-7733 December 18 2006 My mother was across from me I had the Aisle side Businessman middle Father and Brother on his opposite side. PR 2-3-2 Mabuhay Class Recaro CL6510/CL6710 A350 Thompson Vantage XL < NH Safran Skylounge B787 KE Prestige Class 2-2-2 Rockwell Collins Serenity/2-3-2 BE Minipod SQ Stelia Solstys Regional 3 point belt Long Haul lap belt CX Safran Cirrus BR Super Diamond TG/OZ Stelia Solstys 3 point belt. Like it

The philippine airlines 777 business class reminds me of emirates 777 business class because both of it have 2-3-2 configuration

outdated!

The seats look outdated and very 70’s

Thank you for this review! Covered everything one would expect... also agree they should do 1-2-1 config.

Travelling from BKK to Manila biz class Saturday (06/04/2024) .. Will post an update.

Is there 'fast track' passport and baggage check .. part of business class ??

I mainly travel to Europe and PAL doesn't have any direct flights to Europe at all still go to Hong Kong, Bangkok or Singapore to catch a connecting flight my favourite is Lufthansa, I used to fly with them until they ceased flying to Manila in 2008 and recently took the A380 flight to Frankfurt from Singapore and then on the return flight via Singapore Airlines on the same aircraft. I recently read that Lufthansa is making a comeback to the Philippines and they will launch direct non stop flights to Manila from Frankfurt hope it materializes as at present we don't have any direct flights to Europe from the Philippines.

Extremely good food, and the service is probably from the best in Europe. Tough, no longer in Europe I guess. It's so sad to see that such excellent food and service will only be offered to Putins shit people and his nazi companions. Looking forward to a free Russia where we can all meet and enjoy this quality of food and service!!!!!

Looking at this seems a bit dated. What are some other airline options for business class at the same price point but with direct access and better seats/amenities ? Flying from YVR Canada to Manila/Cebu

Super helpful video--thank you!!

I heard they opened a new business class lounge in Terminal 1 just a few months ago. Most excellent.

It's time to upgrade your business class seats.... Sana meron na kayong premium economy and first class seats.

I live in California, I fly out of LAX or SFO, I fly to Southeast Asia a lot, I would never consider flying with Philippine air, their product is nothing but a premium economy seat with extra legroom, and a foot rest. There are a lot better business class products out there. And their lounges are absolutely horrendous, you’re better off, eating your meals on the concourse. 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼

Business class should be 1-2-1 for the prices they're charging (which aren't exorbitant or anything, but also aren't really any cheaper than competitors who do 1-2-1 in their business class). Thank you for showing this!

The service on this airline was so bad two times when I flew to the Philippines and the US i will never fly on this airline again.

Arrived this morning, very disappointed. Video screen was not working. Did not like the food. Philippines Air lines would like Filipino food.

Can you use the lounge in Terminal 3 even if you checked in already in Terminal 2?

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you're bothered by the proximity with the toilet. Seat Guru yellow tagged your seat 4A.

We need that from SFO to Manila flights . Replace the old ones please.

Enjoyed your video. Looking forward to more.

PAL IS A JUNK AIRLINE…. JUNK SERVICE…

Thank you for sharing your experience flying Business Class, however, am a bit sad with their pancit canton :(

❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🛫🛫🛫🥂🥂🥂🎄🎄🎄

I have always enjoyed the service in PAL business class. It's a shame they now depart from terminal 1. Terminal 1 infrastructure is awful. Particularly, the at-gate, pre-boarding security clearance process. Negates any relaxing you managed to do in the BC lounge 😅

Worst airlines made in jejemon Poorlickpen*s always low class #mabuhey #charoot 🤧😭👹🥵🇵🇭👽👎👿😜👻🤬💩🤣

2008..прекрасные воспоминания о пребывании..такая же комната. Незабыаемый завтрак!😊

nice

Where did you put your personal item bag?

Nice Video....would you have infor on what the business class set up is for MNL-Dubai PAL....most of the videos on youtube are from before Covid and have 22 seat set up

This is so underrated ❤

Thanks for featuring Philippine Airlines! 💖💖💕💕

This is very interesting and informative! Thanks for sharing this video! 😍

Interesting video ❤✈️ Smoothly flying outstanding landing

Cabin layout far inferior to Singapore Airlines B737 Business Class product.

PAL will only improve once the ph becomes a first world country which will happen in the next ten million years

Thank you 👏👏👏👏 hopefully Clark will expand and include the Philippines dioramas of superior flora and fauna and feature our lumads like the internationally renowned tattoo artist wang od 🇵🇭❤️

Qatar Airways Have A Great Business Class Product.Great Trip Report

Awesome videos. Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your great experience.

I stayed there(Leningrad )when i was 4 years old in 1980 or 81.Its weard i recognized the blue furnitures!

Stunning building and lobby I m a huge fan of brutalism and I would like to say that this hotel is amazing Not really sure of the new deck of the bedrooms and the restaurants. No charm, no character… you could be in the same hotel room in Spain. But the building itself! Wouah !
