A Deep-Dive Into The 2022 Fleet Of Philippine Airlines

[@ej_tech]

Even with the Vancouver fuel stop, PAL is still the fastest option for Manila to NYC. The A350's more humid cabin is a big help with this very long distance.

[@WRic86]

per Flightradar 24, Manila to NYC is nonstop, it's the NYC to Manila they stop in Vancouver

[@carlvincent12]

The first plane I remember flying on was a PAL 747-400 back in the 90s when we immigrated to the US. And bitter-sweetly, the last 747 I’ve flown on was a PAL domestic flight from CEB-MNL. Mabuhay to the queen of the skies!

[@realkrobi]

True. The 747-400 is now unfortunately retired. One of the reasons for this is PAL434. Unfortunately in the flight, a bomb was set in the 747-200B and blew up 4 hours after the bomber put it under seat. It killed a row (Row 4-K) mid flight. Good news that it survived by landing at Japan, Narita Airport.

[@syafiqrizuan5588]

As far as i know, PR never fly to mainland Europe because the route between Europe to Manila are low yield and weak O&D demand. Instead, the travelers choose one stop connecting flight in Dubai, Doha, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong and etc. PR doesn't stand chance to compete with other airlines like Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Qatar Airways and etc for Manila to Europe market.

[@Gelaviation]

I remembered that my Mom flew with several other retired PAL aircrafts like the 747-400 and the A340-300, sad that I didn't get to see these behemoths with the Nation's flag, but, she was surprised that she flew on aircrafts that have been retired. Also, her last flight with PAL is an A330-300.

[@BoredGeese]

As a lucky kiddo who has flown on the 747 and the A340, I can say that the crew are friendly and accommodating. I also love the little design elements that they incorporate to have that traditional motif.

[@collinbeveridge317]

I set out on a flight from Davao to Sydney, Australia, and herein lies the story. The plane left Davao headed for Manila approximately two hours late due to weather delays. My connecting flight was due to leave Manila just under an hour before my plane landed there. To my total surprise and overwhelming relief, PAL staff were waiting and rushed through Manila airport and onto the plane that they had keep waiting for my arrival. The plane arrived in Sydney at its scheduled arrival time. THAT IS SERVICE SECOND TO NONE !!!

Took my first vacation to the Philippines on Philippine Airlines from Toronto to Manila and back. Can’t really compare with other airlines as this is was my first time flying but my experience was great with them. The legroom was good, the flight attendants were nice and the food was really tasty. Will definitely fly with them again on my next vacation.

[@AndreiRara]

In a short to mid term perspective, the A350s would be the viable solution given that it is already in production and PAL has been using it which is already familiar to its pilots. Although, it is no denying that 777s are vital in the operations and growth of the airline because of its good mix of capacity and range. Moving forward, with the aircraft that they currently have, I think that the airline should focus more on revamping their cabin products especially on their 777s and narrow bodies.

[@nightcorekira5787]

For new planes, it makes more sense for PR to go with the 350 instead of the 777x both for range (Same reason for SQ given the geography) and for type rating/CCQ with the a320 family and a330, two planes that will never be given up given how important they are for domestic routes. Just that right now, the 77W makes sense just as much as it does for everyone else.

[@TheRandCrews]

I know live here in Canada but before I moved with my family, we used Philippine Airlines if we don’t go through any layovers. Always the nice 777 from Vancouver to Manila, though the seats are a bit lower compared to other carriers I’ve been to like Korean Air.

I remember flying with PAL (Philippine Airlines) to Manila around June in 2015 (before my class starts), together with my cousin. That trip was to go to my relatives and there is any important papers that are related for me. The first PAL aircraft (to Manila) was an A320ceo (with a residue on a L1 door, presumably used for the Philippine president/Vice president). It was my first time to fly that plane with an overhead IFE, since me and my relatives usually flew only without IFE on board. Also on board, the food choices were small and instead eating a Quaker snack bar, I drink only a coffee, even I was 14 years old at that time. Also at the same time, I have a problem of my ears. I carefully wear their headphone and didn’t volume up the audio so my ears won’t be hurt or whatsoever.I also found out that the earphone that I have is different from the ones the airline provide (I thought they didn’t provide, but I was wrong). The second PAL aircraft (back to Davao) was their (then) new A321ceo. It was my first flight with a stretcher variant of the A320 family & it has a Shakrlet. I was disappoint to see that they don’t have an IFE on board (except for Business Class that the airline provide an Ipad). Even it was a disappointment flight, at least it wasn’t another A320ceo’s. Also, I order the same beverage (of course a coffee).
