Thank you for your detailed reply🙏🏻Hope to fly with you soon😀

[@balddudey321]

Aerowanderer, I didn’t expect Philippine Airlines to really comment THAT fast (an hour after you uploaded this vid). I hope my crush replies that fast too.

[@asrockrpg]

@@aerowandererThe Philippine Airlines Boeing 777 is also used for Domestic Destinations of Clark, Cebu, Davao, and General Santos.

[@aerowanderer]

@@balddudey321 Make that two of us. I’m quite impressed with their social media team. The comment they left is well termed & in point to my comments & feeling on flying with them😀

[@Plsmammothfruitlol]

I want to become pilot and i want philippine airline

[@abovebeyondandforever6571]

Phillipines Air has one of the best liverys to me, it's simple, and still attractive.

[@aerowanderer]

Of course. My opinion, not the best but in comparison with other airlines with a similar layout, say for eg, Air France, China Eastern etc, Philippine has the best amongst them.

[@bellafrick2574]

Hello 👋 mabuhay.it’s great po , my question is how many hours straight fleight frm Seattle ( sea/tác )to Philippines ?

[@aviatorsammy9389]

Hope so one day Philippine airlines begins services between major Indian cities and Manila ♥️👍

[@aerowanderer]

Of course😀Back in 2011 Philippine Airlines had flights to Delhi from Manila but were suspended after a couple years. Hopefully they resume flights between the two nations

[@randellt]

Thanks for the great vid. In 1994 I was taking flying lessons at Boeing Field in Seattle at the time they began test flying the 1st 777-200 I believe. It was an exciting time. I had one on final on 32R and I was landing 14R. I believe it was it's second flight. Beautiful aircraft. I recently flew EVA air back to the US a couple months ago. It was an older 777 and I remember the seats not being as comfortable as past. That said, the last time I flew EVA air was 2020 on a 787 and noticed a measurable difference from the quality and service past. I guess EVA also paid a price for the CCP virus. EVA use to be rated in the top 5, but when I last looked it's no longer there.

[@Boeing777-30ER]

7:55 , the plane is a CASA C-295W owned by Philippine Air Force registered as 204. It sometimes visit Mactan-Cebu International Airport. The second busiest airport in the Philippines after NAIA. I saw this plane flying at 7000 feet due to my proximity to Mactan-Cebu International at just 30km away.

[@aerowanderer]

Spot on💯That’s nice. In fact it was only in Manila that I came across this aircraft type for the very first time😀

[@Boeing777-30ER]

​@@aerowandereroh ok, C295s are not quite common here actually, they are deemed as rare visitors since they are not seen everyday. Most visitors here at MCIA are C-130 Hercules planes. C295s are quite hard to spot here since they don't always point out their destination because of their military use.

[@gavrielcostelo2843]

i did fly this airline once going to Manila. it was the old A340-300 that had the small four engines. tbh I have only flown this airline twice in my life. one of which I might have forgot because I was young at that time.

[@IvanyLuna-b6k]

Omg... A good view of an fire in a middle of an peaceful flight.....😮

Love this detailed report. Hope to see PAL back soon in Europe. Thks! 👍

[@aerowanderer]

Thank you for watching🙏🏻Absolutely. Along with inducting new A350s. Hopefully good times ahead

[@anonymoustvmedia]

11:32 that was Corregidor Island, a very important and historical island during WW2, part of Cavite province but close to Bataan province located southwest of Manila in the middle of Manila Bay.

[@aerowanderer]

Googled the name of the island😀But thank you for adding context to the piece of history🙏🏻

[@DeanDecoursey]

I like your video. I flown PAL 4 times straight over the last 2 years from LAX to BKK. I’ll be flying it again in October. The only disadvantage to me is not being able to fly into my home city of Chiangmai non stop from Manila. I’ll be flying with my Thai wife in February of 2025 and she insists on flying into Chiangmai instead of Bangkok, so it will probably be either Korean Air or China Air.

[@aerowanderer]

Thank you for writing in & for watching the video🙏🏻 That’s fantastic. I believe all of them must have been on the B777 ? Back in the days, Thai used to fly to LA until 2015. I came across an article that said Thai is looking to resume flights to the US😀 Hope you have a fantastic set of flights & a good time. Take care🙏🏻

[@rongee3781]

I flew in on this type of aircraft. They're massive and comfortable.

[@aerowanderer]

Absolutely💯

[@pearlyshell5775]

Always love to fly PAL, always a smooth flight and landing!❤

[@scottprice4813]

Everyone raves about the amazing GE90. It’s a very loud unpleasant engine on the 777. The A350 is such a more refined and quiet plane and doesn’t succumb to the brutal ten abreast very tight seating so prevalent in the Boeing. I always pick the Airbus over any Boeing except the 787 which is a pleasant plane.

[@aerowanderer]

I guess it comes to choice & preference. Like you said, the A350s are much more quiet as compared the B777 but I feel the GE90 gives you the feel of the aircraft. Especially during start up. Having said that; I believe PAL’s A350-1000 will be equipped with a ten abreast configuration

[@florante4991]

@@aerowanderer The GE90 feels like you're next to a loud marching band - the whole flight! My flight was LAX-TPE.

[@michael6382]

The triple 7 is from the nineties while a350 from 2018 . Big improvement in technology for every type of aircraft by this time

[@lnnthl]

Correction: the seats on this aircraft are the Safran Aura Enhanced seat, not the Recaro CL6510 seat found on their older 777s. - RP-C7772 to RP-C7777 have Recaro CL6510 seats in Business and Weber 5751 seats in Economy. IFE is Panasonic eX2 - RP-C7778, 7779 and 7782 have Safran Aura Enhanced seats in Business and Safran Z300 seats in Economy, all with Panasonic eX3 IFE - RP-C7783 (the ex-Garuda aircraft) has Stelia Solstys seats in Business and B/E Aerospace Spectrum seats in Economy, with Panasonic eX2 IFE.

[@KevinEdits420]

How did you know, I was looking for this information

[@PhilippinesTravelFan]

3:05 Interesting Fact: that 777 planes can use also for the Domestic Operations to Cebu, Davao and General Santos has the long runways to land of the widebody aircrafts like Boeing 747-400, Airbus A330-300, Airbus A340-300, Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300 ER. 6:23 And another interesting fact that 777-300 ER planes can use also for the Philippine Presidential flights of Philippine Airlines this includes RP-C7776/RP-C7777 since 2009 to Shanghai, China.

[@aerowanderer]

Thank you for writing in😀Ah yes, I’ve noticed PAL fly their A330 on scheduled domestic flights to General Santos from Manila. Hope to fly on them soon😀

[@neilhaas]

The B777-300ER is a very nice airplane all airlines every airline.

[@aerowanderer]

Absolutely💯

[@florante4991]

I was wondering, what's a 777-ER (extended range) doing with a MNL-BKK run? This plane can easily cross the Pacific or be in Europe nonstop - and here it is, doing small hop flights. It might as well be doing inter-island flights.

Flown PAL twice. PAL pilots are the best when it comes to landing and take off. But for me EVA Air is the best airline for me since 1993... 😊😊😊...

[@AndreoObana]

1:07 Some international flights operate out of T3, but NAIA T1 is all international.

[@dennis12dec]

It's Bonjour Paris in December, as Air France 🇫🇷 said that they are returning to the Philippines and start their direct nonstop flights to Manila from their hub at Paris Charles De Gaulle, it will be easier for European visitors, business people and Filipinos based in Europe coming to the Philippines and for us Schengen Visa holders who regularly travel to Europe 🇪🇺. It's "Au Revoir" to pesky layovers as direct flights between the Philippines and Europe finally returns after more than 20 years. Hopefully other European Airlines like Lufthansa, Swiss International, British Airways, KLM and ITA Airways(Italia Transporto Aereo) the successor to the now defunct Alitalia could follow suit.

[@markdwighttadina7655]

I encourage PAL to install Premium Economy seats so that in case they order the 777X (-9 variant) they knew what would be the cabin design. Edit : @ 4:30 The new Boeing 777-300ER Business Class seats (RP-C7778 to RP-C7782) are manufactured by Safran Aerospace. The older ones are manufactured by Recaro.

[@vicjr.1813]

the A350s would change the landscape for their travel, for now, they are suffering setbacks caused by the pandemic, by 2025, when they start taking deliveries of their A350-1000s, they could operate smoothly on many transatlantic and pacific routes with a new jet.

[@aerowanderer]

Agree with you😀It’s sad they had to return the A350-900. Having said that, it’s great to have new fleet join PAL. I’m looking forward to the -1000. Of course, just as you mentioned, opens up new avenues as well as could see them restart ops to cities like London. Exciting times hopefully. Thank you for writing in & watching🙏🏻

[@vicjr.1813]

@@aerowanderer I'm hopeful too! you can just imagine my face back then in 2021 when news came out they filed for bankruptcy and made my heart sink, as a filipino. The rehabilitation of NAIA and the opening of the new bulacan airport could bode well for both cebu pacific and PAL and may just enhance the travel to the philippines even further

[@muzzsingh4567]

The B777-300ER ARE amazing aircraft’s . That aircraft parked was An32 aircraft

I have flown PAL twice with my family on a long haul flight and I swear if that is the only airline in the world I'll just not visit the philippines.

[@aerowanderer]

I think this is the primary issue with PAL. Their consistency. I’ve flown twice & have had a good experience. I’ve also heard from others who’ve flown including yourself about how dismal their experience was. They are I feel quite extreme in either giving you a good experience or likewise a bad one.

[@isaacflyaway]

The GE90 sounds amazing during start up and takeoff. However its really noisy inflight compared to the A350 🙃 Do you prefer the 77W or the A350?

[@aerowanderer]

I like the best of both worlds. I feel the B777 gives you the feeling of flying on jet as compared the A350 just because of the noisy inflight, that being said, with the A350 being a much newer & an advanced aircraft, of course it is more comfortable in terms of features available as well as the overall experience. Bottom line I’d go for the B777 only because I’ve been a life long Boeing fan.

For low cost maintenance much better to buy a small passenger planes just as what cebu pacific is doing they are buying the airbus a320neo,a321neo,a321-200, a330-900,etc.Buying a380 is not worth it if very few passengers want to ride bcoz of expensive plane ricket and expensive maintenance thats the reason thai airlines and malaysian airlines retired their a380 bcoz of very expensive maintenance and remember once your country is a "developing country" it is very hard to maintain such a huge plane bcoz of expensive jet fuel and only few are boarding the plane so the airline will file a bankruptcy to it.For me airbus a350 is enough for international flights and i will not agree for a380 bcoz it will not help the economy but it will drain the revenue of the airline company.
