(Ayo that last video really went off, almost up 1000 subscribers in a week! Thanks to every one of you!)

[@grapesofwrath1984]

Hahahaha. The pilot loves to hear himself.

[@FlightFormula]

Literally

[@MaartenVVonk]

Good report, again! 👍🏼 I like your humor and your down to earth commentary 😄, I'm already looking forward to the next report, cheers mate 😉👊🏼

[@FlightFormula]

Thanks mate!

[@ulfw]

Love your non-nonsense reviews mate! Well done again

[@FlightFormula]

Much appreciated!

[@AussieJetSetter]

Nicely done and looking forward to the second insallment to Sydney. Congrats on absolutely nailing the Firefly video - certainly took off indeed!

[@FlightFormula]

Cheers! Yeah, the last video definitely did a bit better than expected.

[@Joyfal]

Nice Video! I like the video style and the review is really good! I am excited for the next review! (Hope that you can review Evaair :D)

[@paulkazzer]

Great review as always. Your humour is just the best. Squatting at various angles in the bali hotel bathroom as an introduction is epic. Many thanks.

[@FlightFormula]

Hahaha thanks mate!

[@pierrenine5775]

A unique experience at an ungodly hour but with a number of positives. Something I would consider given the price. Thanks for posting!

[@FlightFormula]

Well said!

[@moonna8088]

Hi. Thankyou for showing this. Im on the exact BC flight from Bali to Manila then back to Syd in January. However, I broke my flight up by almost 2 weeks to spend time in Phil. Your insight into these 2 flights, it has me so excited.

[@MarkTeirney]

Great review. I'm doing this trip in May. What happens to checked in luggage when you get to Manila?

[@johnbatterbee2257]

very good review.

[@daleonwheeler3717]

I am waiting on more vidoes 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@woutergijs5246]

Nice review, different than the other aviation vloggers. And nice to refer to the stopover possibility. They should promote it in a boutique style : posh day time use of hotelroom, ( guided) city tour, fine dining, specific shopping , whatever. Xiamen Airlines does this quite succesfully . So they make a positive of a long transit

[@FlightFormula]

Good point! I'm going to have to try Xiamen soon then!

[@shaunminehan]

Another great video - PAL is a bit underrated. Mate of mine scored Melbourne to Narita return for $670 recently which is excellent value. I think her layover at the notorious Manila Aquino is 16 hrs lol

[@FlightFormula]

That's a great deal! It's worth a day trip around Manila with that sort of layover.

[@diesel82]

Hey mate - great video! I have a 15 hour layover in MNL later next month during a JFK-SYD flight on PAL. Did you have to pick up your bags in MNL and take them with you, or did they stay in transit? Thinking of also leaving the airport and having a look around.

[@FlightFormula]

I didn't have any checked bags! I don't think you have to take them, you'd definitely want to double check this though! It's well worth the trip out.

[@notdroidbot2348]

Funny as review. Love a flight reviewer with dry Aussie sense of humor. PAL seems decent, especially for the price. Manila is definitely a shit airport though - makes CDG/LHR/FRA look good.

[@FlightFormula]

They are very good for the price imo.

[@johanroggeveen7188]

Your channel deserves more subs man. Thanks for the laughs and taking us on your travels:)

[@FlightFormula]

I appreciate that!

[@jamessayers4046]

Great report, love your dry sense of humour! I married a Filipino, and my husband's family like sweet food, not so much for me. We've flown PAL to Manila in business class, I would rate them higher than QF!. Did you experience the traffic in Manila? Looking forward to the Sydney trip report! Keep up the great work.

[@FlightFormula]

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the traffic, it was practically impossible to get anywhere at 5pm. I ended up walking 4ks back to my hotel because I couldn't get a grab or a taxi.

[@Normalaatsra]

I was able to sample their A321neo last year, it's a much better cabin than an old A321ceo model with IFE and a sophisticated business class seat. I thought they would be doing this in the Ber months which is a seasonal period in the country but I guess that was a crew familiarisation thing and the ceo cabin is how they're going to serve regional SEA now. Not bad for 4h flying but it does make their product look bad for one region.

[@EpicThe112]

If you need a better service than PR on the DPS-SYD market then go SQ or CX. The latter has the same fleet as PR with better products.

[@michaellima6272]

That pilot speech was comically long. 4+ minutes?!😂

[@bigfoot22au]

Hey bro, like your videos. Its awesome you got to check out Manila. Being half filipino, its always fun to go to the Philippines! In terms of the lateness, we have a saying about Philippine Airlines - PAL - Philippines always Late!!! LOL But if you get over that, they are a great airline to use, and the service is amazing.

[@joshuafletcher8869]

What was the delay?

[@user_Randy]

你可以再试试mnl到bkk 延误更多

[@iainmartin8601]

Hey. New to the channel and already subscribed. The green shorts. Where are they from? Very stylish. 🎉

[@Ashashp9]

PR provides STPC so should have given you a hotel in MNL for free if you asked them

[@Sporty12boy]

I haven’t got a refund from a flight that was cancelled over a year ago! I have been in Contact 6 times! Yeah not expecting it back!

[@ebichilli7630]

Doing this in January... under $800😂

[@PhilippineAirlinesTV]

Hi, Flight Formula! Thank you for choosing to fly with us. We understand that delays can be frustrating, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We're relieved to hear that our pilot was able to mitigate some of the frustration you felt. We're also pleased that our cabin crew provided you with excellent service. Your feedback on our seats, in-flight meals, and the lack of in-flight entertainment has been duly noted. We appreciate your input, and we are committed to using it to improve our services and provide you with a more enjoyable travel experience in the future. We look forward to serving you again soon! ✈

[@FlightFormula]

👀 thanks guys!?

[@inbetweenworlds]

PAL sucks!

[@inbetweenworlds]

Omg. That spiel of the pilot was CRINGE 😅😮

[@micoPogi-pg3kn]

No IFE! This should stay as a domestic plane. Id be pissed if I paid business class for a plane that looked like it came from the 80s

[@BethCastrodale]

Mrs KIANA is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

[@carolerobertson282]

Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs KIANA thought I' m the only one trading with her

[@carolerobertson282]

KIANA helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self

[@Charlotte99yre]

KIANA is really amazing with her skills. She changed my 0.5btc to 2.1btc

[@ChrisRendon]

I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs kiana I think she is the best broker I ever seen

[@extremewin1]

I still wonder how she gets her analysis, I got profit of $50k with a capital of $5000 in 16 days of trading with her
