What a great flight! Leaving Manila in the morning and arriving at London in the afternoon. You surely have a fantastic view from Southeast Asia, South Asia, Middle East and continental Europe all in a day!
PAL pilot + B777-300 ER= Smooth ass landing. Awesome! Galing talaga. Can' t wait to see PAL's B787-9s and A350s struttin' their butts out there. I just hope they'd push through with those orders. Nice footage man.
we had several flights from Frankfurt to Manila some years ago with the 747 -200 - 3 stopover -Abu Dhabi- Karatchi and at least Bangkok - all flights were safe and professional -LOVE PAL
Very nice video...thanks! I agree with the smooth. I hardly noticed the actual touchdown. The only time I realized the plane had actually touched down was when it began to slow down. Amazing!
i know that the economy of my country still needs support thats why i fly with PAL. My country is not that rich but still hope that one day she will be back on her feet as she was not created to be poor forever.
thank you bro. this is what our country really need. just like you, continue to support our very own airline. A change will happen every small miles you've created. Just fly with the flag :)
As long as the country has an out of control birth rate ( thanks to the Catholic Church) and thieves in charge of the government the Phils will sadly remain a poor third world country...Greetings from Cavite City.
Elizabeth Reign Castillo Well said. 👍👍👍 sadly, the Philippines is always lagging behind the rest of Asia. Regarding the population, it is going to increase to 150 - 160 million. Sigh. The pinoys will be living on top of each other and more will seek work overseas to be abused and exploited. When will we get our act together? Maybe never.
Patronize our own to all Filipino watching this!I myself even my husband wants the luxury that an airline could offer I convince him to take the flight with my country flag carrier airline so that it helps Philippines in any way.
You'll always curse the chaos that living in Manila and its suburbs gives you on a day to day basis. But at around 1:29 onwards, when you see the cars nicely passing through that street, as the plane's about to depart to some distant place, you'll still feel peaceful but get a bit sad. Dama pa rin ang pagbiyahe kahit di naman ako yung bumibiyahe. Kudos to the pilot for that nice landing in Heathrow though. Haha.
im planning a manila london flight this august , but the aircraft they use now is the airbus 340 400, its an old plane , so i will take another airline instead, singapore airlines is a nice alternative, sorry PAL.
The last time I visited the Philippines as a Balikbayan was in May 1982. On this video, seeing the squalor of the shanty houses on the airport perimeter while on the takeoff roll, makes me never want to return.
i have just come back to the Philippines from London heathrow and i did not enjoy the flight at all, and i do this journey quite often as i live in the Philippines and England, i think they are using different planes now from when they first started this London to Manila, the plane i was in had no leg room, we had no TV monitor of our own, instead we were given an ipad with a flat battery, and nowhere to put it, and the food was rubbish.. I think the plane was totally unsuitable for a flight this long, and many people were moaning the last time i done this journey which was 3 weeks ago.. I enjoyed your video very much, but i think Philippine airlines need to stop cutting corners as these flights are not cheap. Thanks for the share... Carl...
***** for no reason PAL replaced its superb B-777s with old and cramped A-340s. That's why I fly with other airlines to Manila, like Asiana B-777 just 2 months ago.
***** Really?!?! Swapping a brand spankin’ new B777-300 for a decrepit, old and fuel guzzling A340? What was Philippine Airlines thinking? I’m really sorry to hear about this, and I’m sorry that you had put up with an experience typically Filipino - brand new, topnotch quality to start, followed by a precipitous plunge to indifferent or deplorable. It seems that we’ve always had difficulty delivering what we promise consistently, over time.
***** hey man I am a filipino..I never fly with Philippine airline in my whole life..KLM is the best if you want to go to Philippines..or singapore airlines..
***** These ultra long flight are getting to be torture chambers..take a flight with stops or change of plane like Emirates..these non-stops are horrible..
Countries the airline flew over: Take-off in Philippines. Flew over: Vietnam Thailand Myanmar China Pakistan India Ukraine Romania Hungary Austria Germany France
I was soo looking forward to this flight in Dec, but PAL has now downgraded there MNL-LHR flight from the fantastic 777-300ER to an appalling A340-300. I mean how could you endure a 16 hr flight without any entertainment???? Im so disappointed now i tried calling them and asking why would they downgrade this flight if it is the longest in their flight plans, hayhay.
Talaga? Cheers for letting me know Billy Roan. Sadly though it's the same old story with the Philippines, glamorous on the outside but inside reveals a different story because instead of starting small and playing it safe, they aim too high, beyond their needs. Before I go any further I'd just like to say that I am half Filipino (and proud to be Pinoy) and I go back there every year. When PAL introduced their 6 new B777-300ER I was delighted, but as soon as I heard they would all be direct flights I immediately became pessimistic. In the past both PAL and BA terminated this service because they simply couldn't compete with the other airlines. The Philippines is isolated from the rest of mainland Far-East Asia and this is the problem. As stress free and convenient it would be to fly non-stop and directly from Europe to Manila, it wiould only work on an occasional, non-frequent basis. I can understand what PAL were trying to do but to go all out from scratch doesn't make any business sense especially in the airline industry, There's just simply no logic to it. What they thought was, by flying all the way direct they would use that as their USP (unique selling point) and they would save time and money and avoid having to pay airport taxes and fees. But those costs are pittance compared to what they could earn by stopping in places like Amsterdam, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Jeddah, Hong Kong and Singapore. Think of the revenue PAL are missing out on from all the Balikbayans, returning expats, tourists and all the cargo. They could enter the competitive market and offer cheaper fares, this would work because the aircraft is destined for the Philippines anyway. This could also open up opportunities for MNL being a transit hub to other parts of Asia, Australia and USA. Anyway, this is just my opinion, I want PAL to be a leading airline but as I mentioned in the first sentence, play it safe and progress instead of aiming too high beyond their needs. All the hotels in Manila are another example, nice and brand new to start but then they just deteriorate - Just like the B777-300ER service being replaced by the A340-300.
Billy Roan the way It goes is, if there's a lot passenger going on that flight, they're gonna use the 777-300er, but if it's only a small amount of passenger, they're only gonna use the a340-300
Great video. I'm glad someone managed to record a video from MNL-LHR on Philippine Airlines. BTW, were there many seats still available or most of them are filled up?
Most were Pilipinas Pasaporte holders: Nurses working at hospitals and nursing homes in the UK. Among foreigners in the queue I saw people holding passports of the UK, Portugal, Finland, China, Netherlands, Switzerland, France and one from Poland :)
What’s the comfort like for people taller than 1.80? How is the noise level inside? And I wonder why they took the long way around. But it’s good they are going the shorter route now (essentially following all other flights passing HK to Europe). How much space have you got to take your meal when the one in front reclined to have a nap? And what was the cost for this flight (or the value for money)?
I'm 194 cm and there were good 15 cm between my knees and the seat ahead. I see that now PAL is flying its brand new A-350 to London. I was flying with Air China A-350 just 2 months ago and the gap between my knees and the seat is the same. What's even better, the foldable table is 10 cm higher than in any Boeing plane :)
As most of the world’s long-haul carriers retire their B747-400s and replace them with slower but more fuel efficient B777-300s, the graceful and classic profile of the B747-400 will become a thing of the past. I’ll miss that airplane. She really was the Queen of the Skies.
Once did a 17 hr flight from LAx to Hong Kong. Plane slowed so much over Japan and we had to wait extra to land. That was tough. But Cathay Pacific is a great airline
40 USD for the whole flight, payment with a credit card. It won't work over Indian airspace. Apart from North Korea, India is the only country banning onboard Internet :)
it's The Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II, 1886. You can watch it here preformed by Andre Rieu from Holland: André Rieu - The Beautiful Blue Danube
PAL should use the Boeing 777 er instead of the airbus 340 400. Singapore airlines is a better alternative, service must catch up, no cup noodles if you ask a pity PAL.
Yes,A340 is use for long haul flight..but PAL A340 doesn't have IFE..just imagine for 16 hrs you do nothing..they offere ipad but nowhere to connect if it lowbat..also the seats .. that's why many passenger doesn't want to fly again with PAL
Terminal 2 is a few miles away from terminal 3. I came there at midnight to sleep a few hours. The only option is the hard stone floor or if you are lucky there are few chairs available. I must admit I didn't sleep at all. During the flight I slept just one hour. I was interested in the views through the window :)
Yes I know, very often I see Qantas landing at LHR daily, between 04.30 and 05.00 . Usually that's the first landing of the day followed by flights from SIN and LHR. You can adjust your watch:)

one of the best airline in the world...safe and hospitable... one of the most experience pilot
That is what Filipino pilots are. *MABUHAY!*
Capt Mark Anthony F. Lotilla flew it
Wow! That landing seemed to be the smoothest. You can hardly pinpoint the point of touchdown until you see the flight spoilers deploy. Great landing!
Filipino pilots are skilled and nice. :)

What a smooth landing. I can hardly notice the gear touched down.
Lucio Tans company bought back pal from san miguel corporation thats why pal is back like it used to.
hope the pal will change its name holder from Lucio Tan to Philippine Government property. I think this is the way that PAL will shine again.

Fantastic airline always looked after so friendly 1000%
It is the longest Flight. Singapore Airlines and Australia's QANTAS, hold that title.
very good video so proud to see our flag carrier landed at heathrow intl airport
The last time I visited the Philippines as a Balikbayan was in May 1982. On this video, seeing the squalor of the shanty houses on the airport perimeter while on the takeoff roll, makes me never want to return.
Ulul. British ka na nyan? ./.
Gago wag ka nang babalik. hindi ka kailangan dito. mas masaya sa pinas kaysa London gago..
Philippines don't want you back anyway.
Aves Raggiana thats your prob punk. Kung nasaan ka man enjoy ka hangang tumanda ka sa home for the aged. lol

good video! thanks for the upload
Wow ang litaw parin ang ilog pasig ang linaw hehe..
I wish someday British Airways fly to Manila using the B772, or just a connecting flight.
16 hours!! Fortunately you flew with an airline known for best customer service, any other airline I think I'd get anxious at 13 lol
PAL's Manila-London-Manila is now flying over Russia.
Super smooth landing! Something to beat.
Countries the airline flew over:
Take-off in Philippines.
Flew over:
Vietnam
Thailand
Myanmar
China
Pakistan

Ukraine

AS WHAT I KNOW THEY SUPPLY MINI IPAD EACH...
I would just sleep.

oo totoo yun
Great video. I'm glad someone managed to record a video from MNL-LHR on Philippine Airlines. BTW, were there many seats still available or most of them are filled up?
Thanks. About 60 seats were available. The internet works fine except over India
dx7388 That sounds promising. Were most of them British or Filipinos? I'm curious to know since the day they launched this Flight on November 4, 2013.
Most were Pilipinas Pasaporte holders: Nurses working at hospitals and nursing homes in the UK. Among foreigners in the queue I saw people holding passports of the UK, Portugal, Finland, China, Netherlands, Switzerland, France and one from Poland :)

how does one locate the return flight (pr721) on flightradar24? it does not show up under search
2:41 Is that the song of the little mermaid? Because people have been telling me it's not
What kind of prices are we looking at to take this flight? I've flown with Qatar, emirates, klm, Singapore airlines but never with this one.
Amazing I flew to London from Manila in just less than 15 minutes! whew! no Jet Lag at all hehehehe...Thanks to this video...
Salocin Sotnas haha 15 minits lng E s Riyadh to manila 8hours malayo pla Dto kysa London jeje
Your stupid. Right? That flight isn’t a 15 minute flight!
Toronto to manila is 17 hrs
As most of the world’s long-haul carriers retire their B747-400s and replace them with slower but more fuel efficient B777-300s, the graceful and classic profile of the B747-400 will become a thing of the past. I’ll miss that airplane. She really was the Queen of the Skies.
I know that PAL was interested in the 747-8I, so maybe it's not farewell but see you again soon.
jnuval That would be really, really cool!
+Aves Raggiana They upgraded their 747 recently, but yet they retired it.... they should have retired the A340's
British Airways,KLM and Virgin Atlantic wont Retire their 747s!
+GazzaOak they will but only when the A350 will arrive probably in 2018
Amazing smooth landing!
Very nice landing. ❤️
Once did a 17 hr flight from LAx to Hong Kong. Plane slowed so much over Japan and we had to wait extra to land. That was tough. But Cathay Pacific is a great airline
wow ang galing ng pilot ang smooth ng landing ah
PR145 CJ TAMPOS ...A very smooth landing. I agree.
wow the landing was nice
nice video... I saw my work place in earlscourt.
@ Peradoce1
What year is 2104?
Amazing flight! I love it!
Try 21 hours in the air
How full was this flight?
such smooth landing
was it a full flight ?
PR 720!!! Damn im in this flight Im seating @ the front area at the Other side !! hahhahaha IM on this flight!!
can the smartphone go wifi? if so, how much does it cost?
40 USD for the whole flight, payment with a credit card. It won't work over Indian airspace. Apart from North Korea, India is the only country banning onboard Internet :)
what is the title of the background music?
something stupid..stupid..
I think the little mermaid music because people have telling me it's not
it's The Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II, 1886. You can watch it here preformed by Andre Rieu from Holland:
André Rieu - The Beautiful Blue Danube
what a smooth landing......
I love PAL...
yes this should be good! equipped with flightradar24 while on travel to England!
Nice video but now Qantas has the longest route to LHR from PER
Only the plane wings visible. What is the purpose of showing it?
to see the birds that were flying outside
That PAL is in competition with white clouds and blue sky. Mabuhay.
Hey man how did you track your flight in the air?
Liam InfinitePlayer flightradar24 And internet onboard :)
dx7388 well do yoh have to buy the wifi before using it cuz im going from manila to san francisco
Oh my god I was in this flight !
So freaking cool!
I k r
what you use the flightradar24
3:55 Laguna De Bay
Thats in london bridge that you can see from the plane
What app you used to see the map track?
Flightradar24 and onboard internet
I can't tell if the plane touched down
smooth landing!
PAL should use the Boeing 777 er instead of the airbus 340 400. Singapore airlines is a better alternative, service must catch up, no cup noodles if you ask a pity PAL.
both 777 and a340 are for long haul flights
Yes,A340 is use for long haul flight..but PAL A340 doesn't have IFE..just imagine for 16 hrs you do nothing..they offere ipad but nowhere to connect if it lowbat..also the seats .. that's why many passenger doesn't want to fly again with PAL
PAL ordered 6 a350 to replace their a340 ( to be delivered on 2018.).I'm even looking forward to it..
rolandoteves They are phasing out their A340 for new orders of A350 believe it or not.
Simple take first class or business class why settle for economy class if you just complain.
thats qatar airways alqatarya pmgb 777 300 qr467 i was in that plane
lie...
What time did you leave for the airport? I'm doing the same flight in June and just want to make sure we get through the airport on time.
Terminal 2 is a few miles away from terminal 3. I came there at midnight to sleep a few hours. The only option is the hard stone floor or if you are lucky there are few chairs available. I must admit I didn't sleep at all. During the flight I slept just one hour. I was interested in the views through the window :)
but the philipines airlines no tv in the seat
lol it depends on what plane.
Chris Banez lol it depends
Arne Ragnarsson shut up you fuck pal needs a tv
it depends if your flight is short there's no tv but in long flight there's tv. HAPPY NOW?
i watch some videos of philippine airlines and they said they have inflight tv in every seats?, now that's a secret!
perfect landing
Hey, dx7388 You heard the Austrian Airlines Song

Can you do a review on their new A350 london-manila?thanx
