I had the privilege to fly on A350 , 2018 first time they were acquired, one of the first flight from Manila to Vancouver. So I was told by the flight manager. Did not even hear the engine started.

[@KhontrastAviation]

It's really not noticeable if you aren't listening for it!

[@davidarmitage289]

I liked how you put the evaluation breakdown at the end , rating food , service etc. really good idea!

[@cleipotzful]

Nice video! Haven't been flying with PAL for a long time but This video made me excited to go home to flew again on our next vacation. A350 is a plus..last I flew to YVR was B777-300. Keep up with the videos I enjoyed it!

[@KhontrastAviation]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! PAL will always be one of my favorite airlines because it reminds me of home :)

[@Andy1076]

PAL is a top airline for me, they never disappoint with service and comfort. But, I wish they would update their menu already lol! I've seen been porchero since 2016 😅

[@KhontrastAviation]

I was honestly hoping for the Aristocrat option, but they probably changed that a while back

[@katethecurious2994]

Thank you for providing us this amazing video! Your commentary adds to the entertainment, as well as knowledge, we are soon moving to toronto canada! Wish us happiness and luck! :>

[@KhontrastAviation]

Thanks for watching and hope the move goes smoothly!

[@davidarmitage289]

As a Canadian, I absolutely hate Air Canada so I always look forward to Flying PR119 and 118 every year. . The. Service, food and flight are just awesome and a million times better than Air Canada. When I was out west, I used to fly PR117 from YVR to MNL. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

LOVE A350.Good job

[@KhontrastAviation]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@DHarri9977]

Very good, seemed like a smooth flight but then again it's easy to say sitting in the comfort of your home, nice report though, thanks.

[@KhontrastAviation]

Thanks for watching!

[@duaneowens7777]

Great video. Are they strict with the 23kg baggage allowance. Or they will allow 2-3kg over. Also are they very strict with the 7kg carry on.

[@KhontrastAviation]

They do weigh your carry-on bags, so that would depend on how calibrated their machines are at the time. My luggage didn't go over 23, but I packed around 18-20kg just in case. As for the carry on, they didn't weigh my backpacks :)

[@jimmyangeles727]

Nice...touch down bro.most important the flight is safe 🙏

[@KhontrastAviation]

Thank you for watching!

[@danhurtada5569]

Where do you usually pay for the lounge? On the check in counter or at the lounge entrance?

[@KhontrastAviation]

You pay for the lounge at the lounge entrance itself, as it's a third party provider. Hope this helps!

[@MrBakakeng]

Hi may I know how tall you are because my sons are 6 ft 2 and I want to know if they'll be at least comfortable thanks.

[@KhontrastAviation]

I'm around 6 ft, so they should be fine. However, note that North American airlines (if your sons plan to live in Canada) have much more cramped seats.

[@lololeodipabinal5615]

Wow Amazing ✈️✈️✈️✈️ flight . Be Careful , GOD BLESS 🙏🏻🌎 🇵🇭 US ALL ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KhontrastAviation]

Thanks for watching!

[@kababayan01]

I thought PAL doesn't have a direct flight anymore.

[@KhontrastAviation]

They have thrice weekly direct flights to Toronto!

[@davidarmitage289]

@@KhontrastAviationit’s now down to 2. Wednesday and Sunday nights PR119 flys direct from YYZ to MNL

[@jmrong15]

i will be on the same flight on friday... unfortunately they will be using boeing 777-300er instead of airbus 350-900xwb 😭😭😭

[@KhontrastAviation]

That's unfortunate... I booked the A350 specifically because I was also trying to avoid jetlag. The composite fuselage allows airlines to pressurize the aircraft to a much lower altitude. One thing I noted in the days leading up to the flight is that PAL tends to fly the 350 on Wednesdays and Sundays, with the 777 taking over on Fridays

[@bluemoon330]

Can anybody pay for the lounge or is it only for business/first class?

[@KhontrastAviation]

The lounge is open for walk-in customers! During the time of this flight, the fee was 1,500 PHP per person.

[@viver4670]

Do they have a plug point to plug in your laptop?

[@KhontrastAviation]

Unfortunately not in economy. Premium economy and business class do have outlets per seat, I believe.

[@miguelmigzbayben7860]

How many hours from manila to canada

[@KhontrastAviation]

Canada is a large country, so it depends. This flight to Toronto was approximately 14-15 hours, but if you prefer to fly in through Vancouver, the flight will be around 12 hours!

[@miguelmigzbayben7860]

Direct flight is too far to america

[@romeoramos6650]

My flight from Toronto to Manila was 16hrs, on boeing 777 that was 2018.

[@bryanjoshuaacebo9608]

I want to finish your video but I am dizzy already :( hope you get what I mean. You can improve it more next time.. God bless

[@KhontrastAviation]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make the movements smoother next time around :)

[@daddykarl3312]

But the food is really a really a cheap looking one....ohh dear!..

[@KhontrastAviation]

Yeah, I believe they used to have better options

[@potpolima]

trent xwb is so quiet.

[@KhontrastAviation]

One of the best in my opinion, though some noisy engines have their draw as well

[@ivanrosales2753]

nakakaproud maging filipino

[@KhontrastAviation]

Preach!

[@rafetorcende6688]

Hoping they will order 787 And 777X soon

[@KhontrastAviation]

As much as I hope so too, the 787 doesn't seem very likely. 777X depends on PAL's profits, as they had to give up 4/6 of the A350s. Doesn't seem logical to upsize the fleet so soon after leaving bankruptcy.

[@VFREAK800]

I MISS HOME

[@KhontrastAviation]

I do too! You'll go to many places in life, but home will never be forgotten. Hope everything is going alright!

[@kokocabul2332]

Poor airport.. be aware most shop restaurant DONT ACCEPT any currency except pay by peso. Even with credit card they have minimum charge.

[@KhontrastAviation]

I do have to say that the good in airlines can be dampened by airport experience, so it's quite disheartening to know NAIA is still like this. I would recommend the lounge if you'll be waiting a while!

[@davidarmitage289]

We need a Jolibee in all the terminals at NAIA. The international terminal has nothing reputable

[@davidarmitage289]

I love hearing the flight announcements! Love the accent .

[@davidarmitage289]

LOL “ EXCUSE ME CAN YOU PUT THR SHADE DOWN PLEASE”. too funny!😅

[@daffaellong6557]

Junk airline .. bad service .. expensive .. rude crew…

[@KhontrastAviation]

I'm so sorry this happened to you! Most of my experiences with PAL have not been like this, so it will definitely help to contact the airline about this.
