Amazing

[@KMacFNP]

I have flown Philippine airlines from the U.S and vice versa yearly for 25 years now, and although they lag behind new aircraft procurement, the in flight services can't be beat. Filipinos are the best when it comes to personal service, and they're not even pretending. I guess it's in the genes of every Filipino.

[@Redasfitz]

As a Filipino, Thank you for the kind words about our country, i hope you have a nice day

@@yami622 I'm in the healthcare profession, and you don't have any idea how much we pretend to "care" to those who don't deserve it. But that is in our professional and ethical standards. At the end of the day, we kept our job and get paid well. But believe me, our sympathy and empathy is genuine to those patients who really need it.

[@oblongmusic3389]

In 1983 I flew Philippine Airlines from London to Bangkok via Frankfurt and Mumbai .. in First class.. it was on a Boeing 747 and the whole top deck had been turned into proper bunk beds .. so when I was done with dinner and the movie , the FA took me upstairs and showed me my bed .. proper sheets and pillow.. with a seatbelt.. the thing that made it so special, was that we didn’t have to get up for landing in Mumbai and could just lie down and sleep or rest through it all .. what a great experience it was !! 😁😁😇🙏

If pal will relocate their hub to Clark airport once the new terminal is built and abandon NAIA that will most certainly give PAL the 5-star rating it deserves! NAIA should probably just be a military airbase or domestic airport.

My best economy flight experience ever was on PAL, flying their A350 from London to Manila, new aircraft, lovely crew and outstanding catering and I've flown alot, not as much as Josh obviously but at least with all the major european and asian flag carriers, few can match PAL.

[@joaquinjavier2515]

PAL = One of the world's hidden gem airlines. Love flying them at anytime ^_^

[@renealcid6708]

PAL is a great airline despite the fact that they are very behind updating/ upgrading their planes. The cabin crew is unbeatable. Genuine warmth, kindness , politeness and friendly staff common to the Filipinos.It is such a heartwarming experience flying with PAL compared to years and years of flying domestically within the United States with perhaps the exception of Hawaiian Airlines.

Welcome back mate....have done a few flights with PA and loved it !! A 340 from Melbourne to Manila in Business and could not fault it and years ago in a DC 10 -30 also in Business and that flight from memory was also excellent. Probably one of the most under rated airlines in the Asian region. Mind you Manila is chaos but the people are amongst the most friendly in the world!! Glad you were safe in PNG...many here in Australia do not go there because it is regarded as a "dangerous" destination !! And its only a few hours away !! Thanks mate for another great trip report...really enjoyed it !!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Bummer it wasnt the Neo would love to have seen the Economy on that. Its the little touches by this Airline that make it memorable, amenity kits to freshen up, snacks and water service throughout the flight certainly a good trade off for no IFE. Nice job Philippine Airlines. ❤

PAL is pretty good. They upgraded me once at the gate on a 320 red eye from Manila to Cairns, Australia. Business class was recliner seats. I actually got a decent amount of sleep despite the tech stop in Davao. The route is gone now, but it was a great experience. PAL is fine. Manila Airport is horrible.

I call it my home in the skies.

Nothing like flying with our kabayan crew on our flag carrier.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I'm amazed you got into the country to stay overnight, i though they were on lockdown against all foreigners?......I have travelled with PAL, back in November 2018 with a brand new A350 each way LHR to Manila & return........Wonderfull aircraft, only eceonomy but really great cabin crew, even back in 2015 when i flew their A340-300 on the same route (no IFE on those either, not even ceiling drop down screens! They did supply a tablet for use though to watch films ect) the crew were fantastic......

[@makoy731]

I agree with you. Some of my fellow Filipinos refuse to fly with them because of a bad experience in the past but I’ve been flying with them on and off for the past 15 years whenever I visit the Philippines and I’ve seen the improvement. I think when the company focused on training the crew on the quality of service was when things started to improve. I think they know they don’t have deep pockets as other airlines in the region so their capacity to improve the hard product was limited they decided to focus on the service. I will admit though that the service on the ground in MNL needs further improvement.

you could also perhaps talk about that they include check in luggage (if I remember correctly). many airlines now have reduced their check in allowance or have no allowance included at all, and i think this makes PAL even more value for money!

[@MsKharen09]

It’s really overwhelming to watch how you love our flag carrier ❤️ You keep on visiting Philippines, sure Filipinos loves you too ❤️

[@ExtremeRecluse]

This is my first experience with PHILIPPINE AIRLINES. This was a total goat rope. The airline notifies me that the plane is no longer non stop on the return trip. Apparently the original 777 aircraft was in for overhaul. Overhauls are scheduled months in advance by airline maintenance. The airline decided to use an Airbus 330 which carries 50 less passengers and does not have the fuel endurance to make it from Manila to Los Angeles. So, therefore the reason to make a fuel stop in Seoul. Flight time from MANILA 14 hours. From Seoul 10.5 hours. I did some number crunching and calculated that I would miss my connecting flight. I brought this to the attention of the NAIA PAL ticketing agent. I asked her multiple times about the possibility of missing my connecting flight. She assured me multiple times that making my connecting flight was assured. Needless to say, I missed my connecting flight by 45 minutes. You think I'm pissed?

[@jfmezei]

As a point of reference, Air Canada routinely does 5 hour flights with only water/coffee/drink service within north america. And is transitioning from 320s to 737s with narrower seats and 30" seat pitch in coach for 5 hours. So the service you got was amazing. BTW, would be interesting to mention how many hours in darkness the plane was kept. On a 5 hour flight, not sure it is really worth it.

[@indigorosequartzserenity]

I'm really looking forward to yoir review of the A350 business class. Hope it comes sooner.

Great video mate! But I do have to wonder how did you access the airport and the plane without a face mask...

[@Germania9]

Planning to fly from Malaysia to Tokyo next year. Might consider flying Philippine Airlines since air fare is cheapest. I do have some concerns: 1) How's the Ninoy Aquino airport in Manila? 2) What's the best part of that airport (besides Jollibee)? 3) Any language barriers?

[@renealcid6708]

It has been renovated several times but still falls short of international standards.Ground services are chaotic.Processing times at both departures and arrivals should also be improved.

Most people can speak English. Worry not 😉

[@rstupaz]

As a Filipino, it's always a pleasure to fly PAL. Whenever I'm coming home from another country, the moment I step on the plane is where I feel connected to the country again. In comparison, Cebu Pacific gets you from point A to B cheaply, but if the difference in airfare price is just like a thousand pesos or two then I'd always fly PAL.
