[@robbyrondez9820]

As a Filipino, I’m rooting for PAL to recover and eventually achieve their dream of becoming a five star airline. That being said, they really need to step up their game if they want to compete with the world’s best. I know considering the budget constraints, PAL won’t be able to make their economy class product as impressive as Singapore Airlines, JAL, or even Thai Airways, but that’s not an excuse for the cramped seats (especially on regional flights) and the lack of personal IFEs. And they really need to do something about their service. I noticed that the older flight attendants are the ones who are warmer and more attentive, while the younger FAs (at least in my experience) are more concerned about how they look. They only make an effort to be friendly with foreign passengers. On a red eye flight from Hanoi to Manila that I took in 2019, the two FAs assigned to my section were the surliest I’ve ever met. And as the plane was preparing to land, one of them walked down the aisle, yelling at passengers to put their seat rests up. I mean, if you can’t compete in terms of cabin design and layout, you should at least make sure your FAs can compete in terms of service.

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Thank you for sharing your experience! On other routes, the cabin experience might not be up to par with other carriers (I remember when SMC was in charge of PAL, they tried to turn it into a low cost carrier, but it made money), but I think the A350 flights (New York, Bangkok) I had with them were good. I wonder how they’ll power through their 5-Star Airline push with their bankruptcy proceedings.

[@robbyrondez9820]

@@ExploreWithRonipe I guess they need to work on consistency. Be it long-haul, regional, or domestic flights, they should try to maintain a certain level of quality. Anyway, despite my grievances, PAL will always be my sentimental favorite. So I really do hope they make a full recovery.

I have never flown from JFK to MNL but my wife and I fly out of LAX to MNL on PAL because of their direct flight to the Philippines. We also like them the best as my wife is a Filipina and I'm American. I feel right at home on PAL and maybe that's because they're all very friendly. The flight from here is long enough for me and I wouldn't really want to add a few more hours to the flight.

[@omgreensexpress5396]

@@ExploreWithRonipe me too

[@bagaholicmom2573]

Back in the day, I was taught by my dad to be at the airport three hours before my flight if it were international, and two for domestic. When I eventually worked as a ground staff agent for an international airline, I learned the flight starts boarding one hour before it's scheduled for push back (the time of departure). So whatever time you'd give as an allowance, you'd have to think of the time required for check in. Provided your carry-on luggage and your checked luggage both meet the weight limit, give yourself at least 10 minutes at the check-in counter. From the check-in counter to security, two to three minutes if it's not too faraway. TSA, on a good and very light day can be five minutes. The walk from TSA to the gate could take anywhere between two to three minutes if you're lucky and your gate is not at the end of a long terminal. So that's already 20 minutes in addition to just before the gate agent shuts the gate. But we know all these estimates only happen with an "if" and a big "if" that everything goes well. With PAL allowing two 50-lb checked luggage for economy passengers, and with the potential for overweight luggage and ticket or boarding pass issues, plus JFK being a busy terminal, my advice as a former ground agent? NEVER EVER cut it close for flights, even the flight connections you're putting in if you have them. For connecting flights, there should at least be two hours between the time your first flight arrives to the time your connecting flight leaves.

[@xbluemondayx]

I stay away from PAL because they are too strict on cary on luggage and their flight is always full. Flown JAL, Delta, American, Cathay & Emirates and they never ask to weigh my carry on luggage. JAL now offer 1 free additional checkin luggage on top of the 2 50lbs. I get better value and service from other airlines than PAL

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Yes, they are a bit more strict with the luggage, I agree with you. I’ve never tried JAL, but I’ve tried Korean Air, and I like their service a lot, too. But a non-stop flight to the US, only PAL can do that now.

[@chuckh4077]

I flew with them back in 2020 before the pandemic and had no issues with carry on luggage. 15 pound carry on and my personal item. Laptop bag was accepted.

Hi! I can only assume that for your height, it would be okay, although a bit of a squeeze. My tip: try to get an economy exit row seat, if possible. That would be much more comfortable. :) I did not do that because I have a backpack that I want to stow under the seat in front of me (which is not possible on exit rows)

Very nice and interesting video of your flight with PAL. You got their New A350. I might take PAL from LAX on April with B777-300ER. I hope all restrictions and rules will be lifted. 4 hrs is a good time to be at the airport especially now and if your flight is at day time. Ronipe maybe at this time it's not advisable because the plane is half full. There was nobody beside you. But if travel goes back to pre pandemic, maybe it is. Did your read about their new promo? You can buy up to 2 extra seats 2 days before flight. Did they send you a notice? The food looked great but maybe not the PAD Thai. You're right. I miss their BBQ shredded chicken sandwich. It was a snack at their domestic flight. I will not do hotel quarantine but I will watch your quarantine video. I think Covid restrictions and travel preparations were more stressful than during your flight. You enjoyed your very long flight. Stay safe Bro.

It's the size of a wallet 165 grams only. It can weigh up to 80 lbs/35 kg.. Good for your check in bags too. No battery needed. I bought it in Amazon for $12.00. You can weigh your bags before going to the airport. That's the last thing that goes into my carry on bag. When the check in employee tells me to weigh my carry on bag, it shows 14 lbs. No problem with security. There are other much smaller scales with electronic readings but still need a small battery. Stay safe always.

I’m new to ur channel,my husband is leaving from JFK to MLA, can U tell me when is the best day & time to get the RT PCR test within 48 hrs prior to departure it’s confusing to figure out when, testin time here @ our place is from 8:00am to 7:00pm., Flight is on the 1st of March 1:30, Kindly help. Thanks Loly

There’s Adams Health Services in JFK Terminal 1. It’s a bit pricey but they promise results within 1-3 hours. Because of PAL’s flight time, it’s seems like you actually just have 1 day to get tested and get the results.

A-350 Aircraft

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Yes!

[@jaceolaes]

Bro yung wifi nila parang PLDT din saatin e🤣

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Kaya inubos ko na agad yung data ko! Kasi sa gitna ng flight, alam ko nawawala na sya. Baka wala na satellite signals.

[@jaceolaes]

Oo wala na talaga, pero nagkakaron naman din. Napabili pa nga ako 100mb. Yung plane mo yan ung sinakyan ko nung feb 14 pabalik nyc. Yung plane nila na my KISS un luma. As in luma pati CR. pero okay content mo bro. Goodluck!!

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Na-tempt ako mag-unlimited wifi actually para di mabore, kaso naalala ko nga na nawawala, di bale na lang. Haha. Nice, gusto ko talaga yung mga A350 ng PAL (yang nasa video). Sayang they have to give up most of these planes para sa debt restructuring nila. Thanks for the nice feedback! :)

PAL is the worst flying experience I ever had from check-in to landing. PAL has this very annoying business operating procedure of WAITING for VIPs who are very late for the flight. Flight service is mediocre and you end up very hungry and dehydrated. And as they say PAL stands for PAL Always Late. And I almost forgot to mention that the price for the fare is more expensive than other airlines. One flight has taught me not to fly again.

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Hi! It’s unfortunate that that was what you experienced. I’ve also had my share of bad experiences (I remember having my domestic flight delayed for 6+ hours because their plane did not leave Manila). On this last flight I had with them, they were good - not excellent, but not bad either, somewhere in the middle. Oh, and I totally agree about the fares being too high compared to the competition!

[@susanball7051]

Different people had different bad experiences flying with PAL. It doesn’t matter if you were on a business class seat , still you will come across the inconvenient flight because of their protocols during the pandemic years. My friend went home last March and paying $5k for a business class ticket with PAL yet she was stressed out until she arrived in ManilaI. I had only one nightmares with PAL since then i switched to Delta and became a Skymiles member and earned mileage and I already flew for free from Delta! For domestic and international flights. Although its a little bit more money for the ticket but its worth it because of their services.

Kuya, pwede po ba mag travel ang US citizen kasama ang kanyang Filipino Citizen na parents. Kailangan pa po ba kumuha ng visa?

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

Oh, I’m not sure about that, Filipino citizen kasi ako. But before the pandemic, I know walang visa application need for a US citizen to enter the Philippines. Best to check the official websites now :)

I love filipina women

You don't have to check your carry-on bag at JFK just walk with it that's it I never heard that before because I fly out of JFK I don't know what the hell Philippine is doing but you take your carry-on luggage and you take your personal item I guess that's what you mean

[@tonyo7324]

Hi Vilma, most airlines now are strict with their Carry On luggage. That's what happened to Ronipe . They allow you 2 check in luggage . Most Asian airlines weigh your Carry on to the allowed weight about 15 lbs depending on your airline. Cebu Pacific is very strict on this. China Southern will not allow carry on bags on board. I wanted to fly with them but because of that I took another airline. Only small personal item is allowed. Other airlines don't weigh them as long as it is Carry on size bag.

[@vilmaramos2348]

It's okay not too shabby it's just okay not great but just alright I don't like the food because I don't need spicy foods and I don't like the curry that's nasty I was just wondering if they got regular chicken with rice or do they serve lasagna or hamburgers that will be a lot better I also want to know if other airline's I take with me a ham and cheese sandwich and I also take a bowl with rice and pork chops I want to know if I could take that on Philippine Airlines I know it's a long flight is the TV any good that they give good movies or anything else I can watch because this is a very long flight and I hope I don't have to wear a facial with my mass that is very ridiculous alright thank you for the video like I said it's okay just nice take care God bless

[@fasdfga4095]

As usual, PAL will really starve you with those skimpy meals. Not good before, and still good now.

[@ExploreWithRonipe]

I'm not sure what the standard for airline meal portions is, but yeah, I remember with Singapore Airlines and Korean Airlines, there's just so much food. But that was pre-pandemic, so I don't know now.
