  • Philippine Airlines A350 Business Class is in a class of its own! The Ultra Long-haul service from Manila to New York was the perfect way to get back from my trip on United's Island Hopper flight!
    I polled the subscribers to this channel to ask for suggestions, and Philippine Airlines new A350 service from Manila to New York was the winner.
    I couldn't have been happier flying on PAL.
    In this video, we'll explore what it's like to fly on Philippine Airlines' Business Class in their flagship A350. This route from Manila to New York is currently the eighth longest flight in the world earning a spot as one of the true "Ultra Long-Haul" routes.
    The 16+ hours spent in the air on Philippine Airlines A350 Business Class gave me plenty of time to check out the lounge, seat, inflight entertainment, food, and service. I'll even rate them all at the end and compare them to other flights I've taken.

    Was stuck at LAX on my way to the Philippines. Hong Kong airlines wouldn't let me board, because I had no ticket out of the Philippines. My phone was dead, and I had about an hour and a half to get a ticket. Hong Kong airlines wouldn't help me. The ticket counter at Philippine Airlines was packed with people. At the far end of the counter was a young lady checking something on the computer. I got her attention and tried to explain what was going on. She got in contact with reservations and explained to them what my problem was, and handed me the phone. She stayed with me till I was finished purchasing the ticket. I handed her the phone back and she got on the computer to print my ticket. I wish I had written down her name, so that I could somehow let the airline know what a great person they had working for them. Anyway, I barely caught my flight, and I never used the ticket I had to purchase. Great Airline and great people!

      I was also stuck at LAX last February this year because Hong Kong airline wouldn't let me board even though there's still like 2hrs before the flight. As a result, I had to purchase a ticket from another airline for a next day flight. I swear, their staff was rude and wouldn't help me, doesn't even sympathize, very pathetic people. I would never book on them again ever.

      It’s common to not let you board with out a exit ticket.
      I always buy a ticket to Kuala Lumpur on Cebu pacific. It’s always the cheapest that I find for a throw away ticket.
      You should try China Airlines also. They are very good, great room on the plane and friendly staff. I was very pleased, as I normally fly on PAL.

    This airline is definitely underrated, the Business class is amazing, and the economy configuration is only 3-3-3 (extremely spacious), the food looked excellent and appetising. The IFE system was modern (I understand that it is a 2018 plane) and had a variety of choices. The FAs seemed friendly and generous. This airline should be up there with Emirates, Qatar, Etihad and Singapore.

      I flew with PAL from Sydney with stop over in Manila onto Lax, the experience was horrible. They sent us to a so called transfer lounge after taking our passports for immigration purposes when we were just connecting to another flight with them to LAX. They made us wait 3 hrs IN this lounge was dirty had no ac there were even roaches crawling around , when I complained they just said I’m sorry but there is nothing we can do until immigration gets here and we transfer u to another terminal, why would they do this when we’re just passing through? They brought our check in luggage and made us open it and check it, had to go through security FIVE times. After 3 hrs they gave our passports and took us on a bus to our gate. Then the flight was delayed, there were no bathroom at the gate u had to go out and come back through security again. When we finally got on the plane it was a VERY OLD 777-300 and we are told that our remotes for the screens to watch movies is broken, and they asked if no one has told this. The plane is so old that the screen is very at least 3 feet away and cannot be reached without a remote. When we complained all they said just send an email to Philippine Airlines. WORST FLYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE WILL NEVER FLY THEM AGAIN.

    I definitely agree that Philippine Airlines business class is one of the best. I was fortunate enough to fly roundtrip from Toronto to Manila in business class, the service is superb, the food, the wine is amazing and very comfortable indeed. I did find my IFE in both flights, glitched a lot at times. It was slow to response but that's nothing too serious. I do hope if Philippine Airlines wants to stay competitive they will improve the airport experience in Manila.

      @timhillman1572 4 года назад +2

      I am not sure if you know the meaning of Third World. Just look look around Manila, such massive poverty everywhere. Lack of jobs, healthcare and education. There are only 2 ways to get rich, first is to be a politician and second is to be an "Artista". If the Philippines is doing good like you said, then why are there so many legal and illegal filipino immigrants in th US seeking better opportunities?

      Wouldn't say hard-working, not lazy either. I've seen insane carelessness and bad work ethic here. PLDT promised to install a line, 5 months and many calls and meetings later - nothing. Never seen this happen elsewhere.
      I've also seen the opposite, seen people being very prompt and very pleasant.

    Philippine Airlines aims to be a 5 star airline. They're on their way it's just that they're being limited by the airport. Great review!

    • @odeiraoloap
      @odeiraoloap 4 года назад +4

      IMO, the biggest limiting factor for PAL is that they're *not part of ANY airline alliance* (Garuda is at least with SkyTeam and partners with Delta and Korean Air, as an example).
      When PAL becomes a full member, they'll be much closer to that fifth Skytrax star...

    • @alexarboleda6350
      @alexarboleda6350 4 года назад +4

    I have flown with Philipine Airlines, on this very plane RP-C3504, in November 2018 on flight PR720 Manila to London Heathrow. That was about a 15 hour flight by the time we landed (several trips around the Lambourne Hold) on a supurb 2 month old plane! Even though i flew economy (inc out to MNL on PR721 also a A350) i found the seat pitch great and i am 6ft4in tall with very long legs! The staff were all friendly and the food was good and these aircraft take off quite fast, we shot off down the runway at Heathrow and were airbourne quite quickly. At Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport i too noticed in Terminal 2 that it was run down and a poor selection of food & drink outlets. Not to mention the actual riot of getting in the place, about four lots of security the last of which is at the actual gate where they remove any bottles of drink you have brought for the flight! The airport really needs to get into the 21st century but the Airline i think is one the better ones out there.

  • @kelvinting719
    @kelvinting719 3 года назад +4

    PAL finally has a *truly world-class* ultra long haul product. Thanks for the coverage.
    It's a shame very few will get to experience it because PAL is not an airline alliance member. Their only big partners are Etihad and ANA (their only US partner is Hawaiian, and that's only for inter-island flights. Good luck getting to DFW or IAD from LAX/SFO and JFK.)

    As someone who as traveled back and forth between HK and MNL frequently over the past decade, I really agree with Skytrax that PAL is the most improved airline. I used to be frustrated by the frequent delays and poor customer service, but they really have gotten their act together and now flying with them is a pleasure. Go PH!

    Thanks, Jeb. I really appreciate this particular review. P.A. was an airline I previously would NEVER have considered for long haul, based on their less-than-stellar reputation from previous decades. Instead, I have been opting for SE Asian carriers like SQ and MH. Your review has gone quite a way in changing my mind, and I will - at the very least - seriously consider them in future trip planning. Now if only MNL airport management would improve.

The flight was longest I've ever taken but was worth it knowing that when we got off the plane we would already be in Manila.
