When was this taken?

[@bimafadhilahmuktilukito7332]

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 am a Filipino flight attendant, and i can say that some of us do pretend, and have some terrible attitudes. But we still professional tho

[@Jyncolen]

@@yami622 hi

[@cali3684]

Not now...planes are old and rundown

[@KMacFNP]

@@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.

[@craigwillis3372]

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 !!

[@klaseriksson7106]

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.

[@nikeboy69er]

Philippine Airlines is pretty much on its way to reclaiming its old glory. The only thing they need to fix in my opinion is their Manila terminal. Really ruins the whole experience.

[@JB-xm8qi]

Soon ..... soon... 💖💗❤💋💟

[@namelessone5968]

things will get better soon

[@starchy101]

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.

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 !! 😁😁😇🙏

They Called it "Skybeds" and PAL was the first to pioneer it they Put it mostly on their 747-200B's upper deck or first class but the sad part is they were removed first class because of lack of passengers and the decommissioning of the 747-200B's :(

PAL is one of my favourites. There are many airlines that like to think of themselves as the best that are outclassed by PR

[@joaquinjavier2515]

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

[@aQuiLpLaza]

The true gem of the airlines is their crew. Been to many flights there was nothing to compare how hospitable Philippine Airlines has. They will greet you with a smile and you'll never felt out once you board the plane.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Thanks for a great review. Poor old PR went through a rough patch in the late 1990's, so I'm glad to see they have made their way back.

[@aviationwithjeff]

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.

[@anthonyworldwidetv1070]

Wow the Smooth landing of Philippine Airlines always amazed me.

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@jamesharoldcorpuz6536]

[@sonser6634]

I agree, I also like Philippine Airlines. Soon they will have one of the biggest airport in Asia.

[@ryanwong3056]

Josh, great vid as always! My friends flew PR when they were going to Philippines and they said that the flight was very good. They said the staff was extremely friendly and the food was good. Before that I never realize that PR was good because they were on the EU blacklist for sometime.

[@AirTravel415]

Thank you for featuring my home country Airline again josh. it really makes me proud to see foreign vloggers enjoying their time on Philippine airlines

[@georgebasister1929]

I call it my home in the skies. I am a former OFW who loved flying on Philippine Airlines (for some reason, i hate calling it PAL) from Manila to the middle east and vice versa and loved it coz the moment i step inside the cabin, it already feels like i'm home. Nothing like flying with our kabayan crew on our flag carrier.

[@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.

[@junemercado]

I've had really bad experience sa kanila on the ground

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......

[@andrewjonathan9775]

Hello 👋 Thailand 🙂

[@mecharoo]

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!

Yeah thats right, and that story begun when ANA airline from japan granted by francise of philippine airline way back.. correct me if im wrong but thats the facts that i know..

It is actually the oldest airline in Asia that is operating with its original name. It existed as PAL since 1941 but was actually known as Philippines Aerial Taxi Co in 1932.

[@indigorosequartzserenity]

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

[@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.

[@edgarmagarin]

I enjoyed my flight with the Philippine Airline. Even though they don't have the entertainment screen, service is very good. I love PAL

[@richardnei]

Lovely Flight Report. It’s really nice to see some of the smaller Asian Airlines on this channel. It’s a shame about the aircraft change from the A321NEO. ✈️

[@razeenpawaki5553]

If I'm not mistaken, the MacroAsia Catering services are the ones who prepares the food for PAL international flights and to several airlines too.

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.

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.
