TRIPREPORT | Philippine Airlines (ECONOMY) | Airbus A320 | Tokyo Haneda - Manila

[@vibrancerecordings7912]

What I see is that Simply Aviation is miles better than Sam Chui.

[@simply_aviation]

It's because we make videos about airplanes, while he makes videos about himself.

[@aaronbenjamin1213]

Simply Aviation is miles better than all the other flight reviewers imho

[@vibrancerecordings7912]

Of course. The only reason I would watch videos of a person speaking to flight attendents would be when I get blocked from this channel :D

[@vibrancerecordings7912]

True

[@vibrancerecordings7912]

[@allthestroke88]

I may be in the minority but I love seeing extra footage on how to get to the airports. Love infrastructure and city planning ups and downs. Another fantastic video.

I saw Philippine Airlines in the title. I clicked. I watched. I subscribed

[@Andy1076]

The japanese culture is absolutely amazing, genuine smile at the airport and baggage handlers that don't throw anything! What a sight :)

[@jonnieinbangkok]

I fly BKK-MNL return on PAL on occasion and always book on Tues or Sat because, on those days, PAL uses one of their brand new A350s. Sweet...even in Economy.

[@TheTripReporter]

Damn I can feel the pain with that legroom

[@EpicThe112]

You are correct and for Taiwanese Singaporean and Hong Konger passengers they would rather try their own equivalents to the Philippine Airlines A321/A320 CEO and A321neo. In the case of the singaporeans Taiwanese and the Hong kongers they have an answer SQ B737 Max 8 CX A321-251N CI/BR/JX A321neo. If you look inside their economy class cabins you will find out you have a bigger legroom than a Philippine Airlines A321/A320 CEO A321neo Fiesta Class cabin. When I asked a hong konger between CX and PR A321s he said this CX A321neo > PR A321neo

[@Vinavia]

Legroom seems brutal in this flight, but the videos seems fantastic as always ❤️

[@ghabtan1939]

I seriously enjoyed this once amazing video from you again David! Thanks for flying with PAL! I hope you try business class on this route again as PAL uses a now updated tri class cabin! -Your long time 11 year old aviation enthusiast fan

Theres no manila to London anymore

If Philippines airlines purchased the a350-1000,they would start the route on europe,they might even start a route to south america or Johannesburg😮.

[@neos6848]

honestly, sam chui and the crew of simply aviation are one of the best you could ask for, sam chui is who you go to for more in depth information about the flight, simply aviation is for if you want to see if your flight is gonna be good or not. hats of to the both of them.

U.S. Air Force C-17 on the tarmac at about 10:07. Nice video. Thank you! Love the "Barking Dogs" but we all know those aren't really dogs barking. It's common for that to be heard on the A-320 shortly after landing. Has to do with pumps underneath.

Hello David, no need to worry about flying on that particular aircraft when it comes to legroom, the interior is refurbished.

[@zandrojosebandong6119]

Yey.Thank you again for flying our flag carrier.Hope you can try the Pal's A321Neo and the A350😊

[@delmonte4824]

A321NEO! Not 1 single tripreport!unbelievable. they even have lie-flat seats in business.

[@craigk2644]

Zandro, the A321 is a nothing burger bro. Most airlines use for short flights. Does not have in flight entertainment. The A350 obviously a much larger aircraft. I believe replacing the A330 - 300. Zandro u might want to try another airline also. No offence to you but phils airlines is not exactly fantastic. U would probably get a cheaper ticket flying sq or cathay pacific for a long haul flight , appreciate quality customer service and very good in flight entertainment. Singapore airlines use the dreamliner, boeing 777-200 and 300 for short flights around asia. ( manila to sg ) Dreamliner is a good aircraft.

[@synesthesia101]

Craig K What are you smoking? PAL's A321neos have personal IFEs.

[@craigk2644]

@@synesthesia101 I smoke the truth bro. Business Class seats are equipped with Panasonic eX2 Inflight Entertainment Systems, featuring AVOD (Audio Video OnDemand). Economy Class seats have access to 12 radio channels. The AVOD on phils airlines is second rate. Movies are outdated, none are current, unlike other airlines. Phils airlines might be the national carrier of the phils however its considered a budget airlines with budget facilities compared to others. Let me tell u what i am smoking. Phils airlines was ranked 4th worse in the world by bloomberg in 2016. Let me just repeat that for you. 4th worse in the world. The CEO of airbus stated, buying a plane without IFE is like buying a car without a radio. Yes phils airlines has started to purchase IFE but the horse has bolted. The majority of phils fleet don't have adequate IFE compared to other airlines. Yet phils airlines often cost more to fly than other airlines.

[@goodeg8715]

@@craigk2644 lol are you drunk? have you even seen PAL's latest IFE offering? (if you checked their website for their amenities, its seriously outdated lol) also that list was only covering delays, which for PAL is mostly the result of the current airport situation at manila. lastly those aircraft w/o IFE were from the days of their old CEO, trying a hybrid model, which obviously didn't work. get your facts straight

[@iw4861]

Nice trip report and thanks for sharing your experience. I got two questions: first, what camera did u use? And the second is what sound is that at 10:26-10:37? I've oftenly heard that weird sound on some A32series flights during taxi out, upon airborne and during flap retracting but still wonder what is it. Anyone knows?

[@simply_aviation]

The gear used can always be found in the description... :) And sound has something to do with the trim of the plane I think, but I once asked that in a video and people wrote a dozen different things in the comments, so I'm not sure either...

[@iw4861]

@@simply_aviation still wondering what sound it is. By the way thanks, nice vid. I enjoyed watching it.

[@marcosundah4698]

Its the PTU, power transport unit, which is only in airbus hydraulic system.

[@marcosundah4698]

When the hydraulic lines are off, the pressure will go down, and when it goes down after a ceritain level, the PTU will bark. and also the ailerons will go down since hydraulic is off and airbus doesn’t have a special locking mechanism for their ailerons when hydraulic is off unlike boeing that has a special mechanism

On most of their planes except some like the 767s, 747s and early built 772s

[@esmiecarrasco4022]

hey simply aviation i think you should try philippine airlines a321 it has good legroom

[@aviationwithjeff]

The A320's are fine. It's the A321s that have terrible legroom and seats as hard as sitting on a table. I like flying Philippine Airlines for the service and the food in economy is USUALLY good. And the safety videos are nice and unique way to promote the PI. I too find it strange they feed you at such odd hours, but it's part of our hospitality.

[@denn120]

Excellent and informative trip report. Btw, what was that noise @10:28 - sounded like a dog barking!

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

Ziauddin Khan, that’s from the power transfer unit, or PTU, a device on Airbus planes that makes sure there’s enough hydraulic pressure during single-engine operations when one engine is turned off to conserve fuel. When the pressure falls below a certain level, the PTU turns on and off and makes that loud barking sound.
