Philippine Airlines: San Francisco to Manila

- Once embarking from Delta, you will leave San Fransico’s main terminal and take a tram to the International Terminal. There were 2 issues we needed addressed.
1. I fell under the Balikbayan Visa. As a former Filipino, I have confirmed my status with the Philippines Embassy in Washington D.C. and the Philippines Bureau of Immigration’s main office in Intramuros. Unfortunately, no airlines recognized it. You will be expected to have proof of an onward ticket. Be sure to have a confirmation code for the onward ticket AND your PSA birth certificate (or other equivalent documentation). Politely wait as a supervisor approves your status. Copies of your documentation will be made.
2. Before checking in, make sure your carry-on luggage is 7 kg. The personal bag must weigh only 2kg. They WILL weigh them and place a tag indicating the carry-on weight. They may or may not weigh your personal bag. Our personal bags were not weighed. Once at the gate, there’s plenty of seating. However, there were very few seats available since our flight was packed. Carry-on luggage might be weighed again. If your carry-on is still overweight, you must check it (for free). You will retrieve it with the other checked baggage.
Once you’re checked in, you’ll need to go through TSA again. EVERY item needs its own tub. All electronics and liquids bag must be in separate tubs. Be prepared for extra screening.
Our seats were in the economy section. We found our experience comfortable. Throughout our experience, the staff were polite, gracious, and welcoming.
Hi DD.freshstart. Thank you for choosing to fly with us! We're delighted to hear that you had a satisfying experience with Philippine Airlines. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to welcoming you on board again soon! ✈💘
I missed the time when people clap their hands for being grateful for landing safely
NO GOOD ..MOST OF THE TIME NO AUDIO & FOCUSED ON WINDOW. DID NOT SHOW CABIN ACTIVITY. NO GOOD
I respect people's private conversations. Since I traveled during the night, you'd have seen a very dark cabin. I also like looking out of the window. :)
The greatest disappointment with PAL is that they don't have any flights to Europe particularly in the Schengen Area which I travel most, it's a total disservice to Filipinos being left out in Europe since European Airlines have ceased flying to the Philippines. In my case will have to go to a hub airport like Hong Kong to catch a connecting flight via Scandinavian Airlines or Finnair where my travels are in the Nordic countries.
I didn’t know this.
@@DD.freshstart The sad part is that we don't have any direct flights to Europe you only find European Airlines at airports such as in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore. Many of my German friends who want to visit the Philippines but it's a hassle as there's no direct flights to the Philippines and they ended up in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore instead of coming to the Philippines. I used to fly with Lufthansa during my past travels to Europe until they ceased flying to the Philippines in 2008 , today there's no direct flights between Europe and the Philippines and fewer tourists from that part of the world come here you'll find them mostly in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and even Indonesia as their flag carrier Garuda Indonesia flies directly from Jakarta to Amsterdam. PAL doesn't give any priority to travelers going to Europe.
My sister (in the USA) and I talked about a future trip to Europe. I appreciate your perspective.
@@DD.freshstart Recently read articles that Lufthansa and Air France are planning to return their direct flights to Manila from Frankfurt and Paris Charles De Gaulle. Finnair has been expanding its presence in Asia and Manila is one of the routes to be opened soon from Helsinki Vantaa Airport if this pushes through it will become a gateway to the Nordic countries. Incidentally if you happen to be in European Airport such as Paris Charles De Gaulle you'll notice that many Asian carriers take off and land there and PAL is not one of them that's why European tourists getting to the Philippines is absolutely burdensome as they need to transfer to another airport such as Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore even Dubai and Abu Dhabi it's no wonder why fewer European tourists come to the Philippines.
