Not gonna happen. A359 has less capacity than the 777-300ER which is usually full on the MNL-SFO route. If seat configuration is your priority, other airlines offer the same, if not better. You just need to connect somewhere though.

Yeah, the foods are exquisite and they served a lot of sides despite of the small food serving. For me I am still very satisfied. Yeah chow mien is very delicious 😋

What do you expect from a poor 3rd world airline company, try Qatar, Saudi airlines great food, Philippine airlines food is basuda, garbage I wouldn't eat it I'll bring my own food aboard.

They never had a tv on an A320

Yeah, been also wanting to visit Texas. Hoping they may consider this since there are also a lot of Filipinos in Texas.

I agreed, to have PAL in TX. theres too many Filipinos live all over in Texas, specially in the big City, like Houston and Dallas, I live in Houston, I am nearby international & domestic Airport. Whe I live Albuquerque, NM I use to fly with PAL, every year from 1992-1999 my last flight on PAL, to visit my late mother. Since my mother pass away in 2007, I don’t go back to Phil. Often anymore. Same year my mother passed in 2007 I moved here in Houston,TX for good. I wish there’s PAL here in Houston,TX cause once in awhile I visit my late mother grave in Phil. Since I moved here in Texas I’ve been visited in Phil. 2009, 2015, and last 2019, no plan to visit right now, since Philippines get worse so bad, too scary to go in Phil.

@@CaptEngrWil thank you for sharing your flight, on your vacation to Philippines, so nice to hear from you, your experience about PAL. I’ll watch your channel for your next updates, enjoy your vacation, stay safe. New subscriber. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

They do not have the money, Philippine airlines is a low cost cheap airline company so they do not get priorities routes nor landing rights like bigger airlines, Philippines is a poor mans airlines.

Yes, true. MNL has been very congested already that soon almost intersecting 2 runway will not be enough to accomodate the growing volume of travellers. It is not actually a rumor but its land has already been reclaimed in Bulacan. But yeah, hopefully soon the airport structure will start to be built in sight. 😁

Manila airport is rated the worst in the world, no matter update they do its still the worst airport, srevice is terrible, people can barely speak English, people sleeping on chairs, garbage everywhere, air conditioners not working, flight delays, 3rd wrold country, 3rd world service, ceiling leaks when it rains, airport personnel stealing your money, and placing bullets in you carry on to extort money, never trust a Filipino.

Yeah, its not the best business class, but still its quite a bit fancy and I felt more comfortable when I landed on that long haul flight 😊

Hey there, there are still lounge access. Just wasn't able to document it on this video though.

Thank you very much for liking the video ☺️

Like I hour before, I was there 3hrs before it was so disorganized, just went in January.

But mostly all airlines are the same ✈️✈️

Good day. They open atleast 3 hours before scheduled departure time. Yeah, you have a long layover, and yeah there are food court just above the JFK Terminal 1 where you can eat foods during your layover

Yes, PAL have the high standards and they have very competitive pilots and aircraft maintenance personnel.

Oh yeah hehehe. Wasn't able to noticed it due to the take-off. Thank you for pointing it out 😁

Yes sir. Were you able to take the same flight?

@@CaptEngrWil nope, it is my usual seat number pag PAL :D

Yeah the business class configuration is very different on Boeing 777 vs. A350 of PAL. But if I were to choose, this A350 from PAL is better given their more flat bed setting and latest version of their IFE.

⁠@@CaptEngrWilUghh! I can’t believe they haven’t change the aircraft yet for San Francisco and Los Angeles flights. We still have the old Boeing 777 😭😣 I would fly United for their seating but only if their foods are great though

I never been in business class, when visit my mother when she still alive, cost too much, $1,800, for business class, back in 90s that a lot of Philippines money. I see my mother for a month once a year, i get PAL, for 9 years, back in 1992-2001, back then, 17 hours flight fr LA to Mia, stopby in Hawaii for 30min.for gasoline. $4,000. back n port U.S./Phil this time, that will be P220,000.00.

May I ask where are you going?

​@@adelmendoza8888 I'm heading to South Korea for a 6-day visit. I will be flying via PAL.

Ohhh, awesome. Thank you for the information of that portion of Luzon. I wasn't able to check the map then since I was focused on taking a video. Thank you also for liking my trip report. Hoping for your safe and pleasant trip with PAL next month. Stay tuned also for my next trip report soon.

​@grWil It was my pleasure! I'm really very good at geography; that's why I have easily identified the place of that portion in Luzon :)

Hey there, let me ask what airline will you be riding on to Manila before going to Tuguegarao? I think 2 hours is enough assuming no delays from your previous flight. But yeah, it depends on which NAIA Terminal you will be coming from.

​@CaptEngrWil my ticket says "phillipine airlines" it stops at terminal one and than it wants me to go to terminal 2 Manila to catch phillipine airlines again to tuguegarao..and I heard terminal 1 and 2 are close...so I think I will have lots of time.

​@@CaptEngrWilSo long story short I will be going from terminal 1 to 2..I won't have to go to terminal 3

Hey there, since you are also flying with PAL as well, both international and domestic, I think that is enough so long that your flight may not get delayed hopefully. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are nearer to each other than Terminal 3. And yeah, when you arrived at Terminal 1, there are counters there for PAL with domestic connecting flights so they can help or assist you on your next flight to Tuguegarao.

Thank you for liking it. Hope you are subscribed for more trip reports soon. Yeah, especially the noodles. Yeah I was quite surprised with that one since on my way to JFK via PR 126, they served in glasses. But yeah, I guess its also a part of saving some weight for the aircraft in order to save fuel consumption? 🤔

Yeah, their route is via North Pole. It was a unique route since typically most fly back via the Pacific Ocean. But PAL did a trans Atlantic flight going back to PH. 😊

PAL, use to stop over in Hawaii, for 30min. for gasoline. Flight time is 18 hours, from LAX to MIA. during my visit in Phil. from 1992-99 once a year, on PAL.

Yeah, tbh, their Boeing 777s Business Class based on some vlogs I watched, were quite old comparing to their A330s and A350s. Hopefully PAL may consider reconfiguring their Boeing 777 to that of their newer business class configurations like A330s and A350s

@@CaptEngrWil But for now PR is like they're under receivership like from 1999 to 2008 since they're off from Chapter 11 restructuring. I wish before or after the new Bulacan Airport opens Lucio Tan should step down as PAL's majority owner and sell his stake to investors who are willing to make PAL's service better.

Well, PAL is still recovering from the effects of the pandemic lockdown that hampered air travel. And yeah, PAL didn't expect the sudden surge of air travel post pandemic that they had to order or lease mo aircrafts. Yeah, hoping for a stronger PAL in the future.

@@CaptEngrWil The best solution overall is not only a better hub but also better management. Lucio Tan should step down as PAL majority owner and sell his stake to investors who are willing to make PAL's service better.

Hey there, I think you rode the Boeing 777-300ER of PAL then. Their business class configuration on that 777 is 2-3-2 configuration. They usually fly the Boeing 777 on some flights to JFK when the Airbus A350-900 isn't available or is scheduled to another route or maintenance

Yeah, I think with the purchase of more Airbus A350-1000, part of the intention is to expand flights back to Europe particularly to London, which was their discontinued flight due to the pandemic. But yeah, they cannot expand much flights if the airport is overcrowded, so hopefully once NMIA is operational, it may divert some of their flights their so they can expand and catch up with their international competitors.

Yeah, that was what i also wanted for PAL to include on their IFE. Hopefully they may consider to upgrade this on their upcoming A350-1000s

@@CaptEngrWil I agree with you and for PR they need to activate those on their B77W A359s A35Ks. On CX and QR those are activated on those planes. For KE A380 B747-8B5 B777-3B5/ER have them activated. Want one of those during the time of PR127 depature from JFK these are KE086 to KE621 for MNL and CX845/843 to CX907 for MNL

Yeah, the business class configuration for the A350 makes the menu booklet easy to grab on by yourself.
