- This is our Business Class flight experience aboard Philippine Airlines B777-300ER, from Manila (Philippines) to Los Angeles (USA) on November 22, 2023.
I have watched this video today, good one!
Thank you again for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Please kindly subscribe to our channel for more of our upcoming videos! 😊
Looks like two different 777s on one video. On 3:28 is the newer RP-C7782 with a lie-flat business class and newer economy seats. You boarded on the older RP-C7772 4:33 with the angled business class seats. At least the most imporant thing is that they will get you home safe and sound 😊
Thanks for watching! Yes, two PAL 777s parked next to each other. Although the seats on our 777 were rhe older type, we had a very comfortable flight, the service was second to none, and we got home safely!
We prefer the 2-3-2 layout in PAL’s 777 Business Class because of the enormous amount of space in the cabin. Their A350 product seems more modern but the spaciousness is missing!
We highly recommend PAL Business Class for its value, spaciousness, comfort level, delicious meals, and unmatched Filipino service!

I've been watching your travel experience video outbound from LAX to MNL as well and already left a comment there.
I really liked a lot what I've seen about PAL's long haul Business-Class product!
What really makes a big difference is the generous amount of space PAL offers, something you simply don't find anymore in Business-Class nowadays. If I compare PAL's Business-Class seats to those I know from Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, Thai Airways or China Airlines - where you feel to be cramped into a half open coffin when in full flat position, the freedom PAL offers in this slightly outdated seat and layout simply is priceless!
Newer is not necessarily better! 🤷♀️😉
Have you noticed the difference of the food presentation? Manila did way better than Los Angeles! 🍽️🍹👍
Freshness, arrangement and presentation of the food served on your return flight from MNL to LAX was definetely of higher quality!
Something PAL should go over with their caterer at LAX.
Allover your video was very helpful to us, we would definetely prefer to fly PAL on our way to Manila.
Thanks for sharing your experience, you are a wonderful couple and it was a pleasure watching!
Loveley greetings from Germany, Simone 🙋♀️👍👍🇵🇭
Thank you Simone from Germany for watching my videos about our PAL Business Class experiences. I totally agree with you that "newer is not necessarily better." This current PAL Business Class in their B777-300ERs offers a generous amount of space unlike any other in its class. The value it offers along with its authentic Filipino hospitality onboard is second to none. Many travelers expect too much in Business Class but what matters most to us is that we had very comfortable flights both ways with PAL. Please subscribe to our channel for more of our travel adventures! Best regards from California! :)
Thanks for the video! I flew economy from BKK to LAX in late December. I had read about PAL’s reputation to be late but in flying to first Manila, then to Los Angeles, in each case the flight left an hour late. The connection was 5.5 hours, so even with the delay, the connection wasn’t tight. I fly back to BKK on PAL in May and am considering bidding on upgrading to Business Class. I’ll probably bid a day or two before check in. I wonder if I did get the upgrade, what would change in baggage allowance? By the way, I noticed the St. Maarten tee shirt on Carol. That’s one of my favorite islands!
Thanks for watching our video! Hope you get the upgrade to Business Class. All of our flights departed on time. 😊
Baggage allowance in business class is still 2 pcs, but the weight is increased to 70 lbs instead of 50 lbs. You also get priority baggage handling, which means your baggages will be the first ones off the plane when you land.
We went on a cruise to St Maarten last year! Love that place! 😊
Hi po
Sana po.matulungan nyo aq kht pambili lng ng gamot at konting pagkain
Hello! Have we met before? Taga saan ka?
Come what may, PAL is my airline of choice, be it a local or regional flight. I was satisfied with the service and comfortable enough through the entire flight. I`m not going to board a flight just to find flaws in their service or their plane. Lastly, their fares are cheaper than those of any other regional airline. Thanks for the vid. :)
Thank you for watching! What matters most were value and comfortability, and we got both from PAL. The outstanding inflight service was a bonus!
Nor do I. The flaws find me. That's why I stay away from PAL. Stop being biased.
@@bbgwrq I’m not being biased. It was based on my own experience. We all have different PAL experiences… some are good and some are bad! Mine was good! Thanks for watching! 😊
i wanna go back for another vacation but i found out that im terrified of flying...i donno how i managed to fly LA-mnl and manila to bicol...just by watching the take-off in this vid scares me....
Thanks for watching! Fear of flying is common. I highly suggest starting with shorter flights to gradually become more comfortable with flying! Don’t let your fear of flying deprive you of a vacation you really need and deserve! 😊
hi, was there a lot of turbulence during your flight?
Hi. No significant turbulence that I can recall during our flight from Manila to Los Angeles!
I just checked the price for business class for round trip flight only for Phllipines in October 2024 is $4,800. Is that about right ? Also as business class client do you get your own entrance to board & do you get faster processing through US Customs when you come back to the states? Thanks for sharing =)
Thanks for watching! The cost of PAL Business Class you found is about right! Other major airlines cost a lot more! At the airport you get a separate check-in line. When boarding the plane Business Class passengers will be the first group to board and first group to exit the plane. There is no priority line for US Customs and Immigration. The only way to do that is if you have a Global Entry ID, which you can apply for. With that Global Entry ID you also get TSA pre-check so you go to a shorter line at LAX. Hope this helps. If you need help with your travel I can help because I’m a travel agent! 😊
@GilCarolAdventures I saw the price on Expedia. As for the seating 💺 & leg space in business class if you get a window seat - Do you have aks someone to move if you need to get up or is there space to get up and go? Thanks for sharing
@@lakt2136 if you get a window seat there’s plenty of legroom to get up and go. But, if the seat is laid flat there’s not much space to go around it. Thats the only bad part about it. I recommend the aisle seat if you’re flying solo. For booking with Expedia, I can probably get you better pricing than Expedia.
@@GilCarolAdventures You're comparing apples to oranges. Right now, China Airlines Business is $4844 RT from SFO to MNL. Their business is 1-2-1, not 2-3-2 as is with PAL. So you have to do a fair comparison.
@@bbgwrq I’m a Travel Advisor and I do compare prices for myself and my clients! It’s all a matter of preference! Our biz class fares were so much cheaper than China Airlines and other major airlines at the time of purchase!
Here's a riddle: Q: How do you get Filipinos to be somewhere on time? A: You put them on a plane! Just kidding, you're video commentary at take-off 'made me do it' ;) Thank you for the lovely video of the flight, it is helpful :) Anyone offended by the joke, it's just a light-hearted joke, no offense intended.
Good one! 😂😂😂 I threw that in there because PAL has the reputation of “Plane Always Late.” Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. For the value compared with other major airlines, PAL Business Class is worth it! Please subscribe to our channel for more of our travel and family adventures. Thank you!
Premium economy on other airlines gives you so much more for your dollar. Also, for about 2k less.
Thanks for watching my video! Yes, we know about Premium Economy with other airlines but PAL will finally offer them too next year with their new A350-1000 aircraft and can’t wait to try that product next time. We had to try PAL Business Class and it didn’t disappoint! We highly recommend it for its value for your $, onboard service, delicious meals, and overall comfort. No fancy seats needed!! 😊
@@GilCarolAdventures That's the same response over and over again. In a few months, next year, very soon. Lies and more lies. PAL is the bottom-dweller.
Does it give you a direct flight, because that's the whole reason to fly with Pal, you can also fly economy and by the seat next to you.....
@@TC-kf9zw Yes, PAL’s flights to and from the U.S. are all “nonstops.” For many travelers, this is the advantage of flying PAL to and from Manila. Thanks for watching! 😊
yep. sad and dated product in 2024. the price is crazy expensive too compared to flying via cathay or eva. the only thing they win of is the direct flight to the philippines that they monopolize.
you get access to better lounges if you fly via hk or taiwan too.
Thanks for watching our video! In Economy Class, yes that’s true! But PAL business class cost about $2K less than their competitors. They’re not nearly as modern but we were very comfortable and that’s all that matters. We were able to steep continuously for half of the flight.
They have a new Mabuhay lounge in terminal 1. Much nicer and much bigger. Not sure when this video was taken. They may be updating their fleet later this year🤞🏾
@@reneguerrero4657 Thanks for watching. Our flight was on 11/22/23. The new Mabuhay Lounge in Terminal 1 wasn’t completed yet at that time. The new A350-1000s will arrive last quarter of 2025, so their new jets will be nicer!
There’s a mouse under he seat. Did you seeit
Where? Which seat?
Never again will I fly PAL, I don't care if I have to swim back to SFO
Thanks for watching. I’m sorry to hear about your bad experiences with PAL. It’s not for everyone and every airline in the world has its own flaws. But not a good idea to swim back to SFO! 😂😂
Be sure to say that you are no longer a Filipino because whatever bad things you say on things Filipino reflects on you…with your complexion, flat nose and accent.
I agree with your sentiment. Stress level goes exceedingly high when dealing with PAL.
@@bbgwrq I’m sorry to hear about your bad experiences with PAL. Hope your next trip to the Philippines with any airline will be less stressful for you. 😊
So it’s 2024 Philippine Air still hasn’t figured out that crawling over total strangers from window and middle seats while they sleep isn’t a good idea in business class. More modern alternatives are available. I’ll pass.
Thank you for watching! PAL’s new Airbus A350-1000s with modern business class is coming in 2025, which will replace the aging B777s on the US routes. The A350-1000s will have a 1-2-1 Business Class layout so everyone has an aisle. That will definitely address your concerns! They're already flying the A350-900s for the New York and Toronto routes with the 1-2-1 Business Class layout. The new A350-1000s will also have a Premium Economy Class cabin.
PANCIT FOR BUSINESS CLASS... D NYO MAN LANG GAWING CARBONARA PAL🫨
@@bekimotonowindubai1113 Thanks for watching! We had different options for midnight snacks. I chose Pancit and my wife chose Arroz Caldo, which is the most popular option. We were very content because we didn’t set high expectations!! Most people expect too much just because it’s Business Class. If you want high end Business Class I suggest Singapore Airlines or Cathay for an additional $2K more per person at the time we booked our tickets! PAL was the better value!
@@GilCarolAdventures I am hoping so! If indeed they do the 1-2-1 on their most popular route of SFO-MNL, and the price is lower than China Airlines and EVA (both stop in TPE), then I will go with PAL (direct). When vacationing in the Philippines, vacation to me is "less stress", and if the journey starts off with dealing with PAL's cancellations, delays and so forth, they have to bring the price "way down" to make it worthwhile. PAL has to start caring about their own people, and that starts with them being the flagship carrier of the country, if we are ever to give a damn about them. It goes both ways.
@@bbgwrq PAL will start flying their new A350-1000s around October 2025 to LAX and SFO to replace their aging 777-300ERs. Those new planes will have 1-2-1 business class layout. And for the first time, the A350-1000s will offer Premium Economy Class seats.
