    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.

      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 !! 😁😁😇🙏

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 !!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It’s sad that they switched the aircraft I would’ve love to see the experience on their A321neo as I’ve never flown in one. Good thing service was still excellent though I guess it would suck to fly for 5 hours without a PTV.

    Hmm, the additional offerings like food or amenity kit doesn't feel like a significant upgrade compared to other budget carriers if we are comparing value versus price
