Philippine Airlines [Thread 4]

[glacy_rein]

^^my friend used it for Dubai ok naman daw pero walang entertainment.

Cheap yung promo nila for domestic. We got manila-davao 6,938 for 2pax with one roundtrip 15kg luggage plus terminal fees.

Anyone at the Travel Fair right now?  Thinking if it's worth the trouble going all the way there from QC.  Looking for Japan tickets for next year kasi. 

[nageinna]

oh yes update please anyone who went sa travel fair? good deals ba? japan din target destination namin next year.

[aNgelofThEMorning]

ako Batanes, pero parang hinde nila lagi sinasama sa sale to

[vhanya]

Im here at the travel fair, angbagal nila! From morning til now, nasa 210 pa lang yung na accommodate nila from the regular line.  There's a separate line for mabuhay elite members and senior citizens/pwd.

 They were allowing people with numbers to book at their booking offices kasi they can no longer accommodate everyone.

Go early. Lines start at 6am daw.

^i have a friend who went there nakakuha daw sya ng number tapos pwede sa pal ticketing office magpabook. nagpunta sila sa naia 3 kaso pag dating nila ubos na yung sale from mla to LA. 800dollars naging 1k plus uli. kasi daw parang 18 slots lang yung nakasale

[byutijunkie]

Thanks so much for the update vhanya and shygirl. 

I might just book with another airline na lang if it's that much of a hassle. 

[aNgelofThEMorning]

[glacy_rein]

Mejo hindi sila prepared sa dame ng tao na dadating, there were 2 places sa PNB isang main function hall na Travel Fair nakasulat tapos yung PAL office sa baba, pagdating ko kasi I assumed na syempre PAL nga so dun nako dumerecho sa mismong office then the guard didn't check kung Mastercard holder bako (kasi nga for all I know exclusive sa first day) then there were flyers tapos I heard na ine-explain ni Kuya guard na pwede daw magbook kahit sang PAL office kasi andameng tao dun and then another guy said 900+ number nya pero 100+ palang sa bilang OA! haha!

Tinignan ko nalang flyers and Batanes saka Japan and London lang yung hanap ko and mahal so bago ako umalis nag-CR muna ako and then pagpasok ko andun pala yung Travel Fair sa 2nd floor so chineck ko hindi din ako hiningan ng Mastercard CC pero I asked if same ba sa baba kasi andame ding tao sa baba then sabe "ay mam dito lang po yung event, dito po nagbobook." So I said namimigay din ng flyers sa baba and sabe ok nadaw to go to other PAL office since hindi na kaya dito - Sumagot si ate (obvious na walang alam at hindi na-orient at sure ako na hindi sya taga PAL) saang baba mam? sabe ko yung office sa baba ang laking nakasulat Philippine Airlines - ayun na di na nakasagot saken! - labo.

Pero mababa yung domestic, I mean ok na sya for the Lean Season (2k-3.3k RT), iba price ng Peak eh (2.9-3.9k RT)

HTH

We went home mga 930pm na last night. Hinintay na lang namin mag subside yung traffic. Was able to secure 2 business class tickets to Bali for summer. 27k per pax na Lang so super sulit!

[Newlife]

Ilan percent ang discount? Worth it ba pumila? Thanks

[glacy_rein]

up to 50% off from regular rates.

Took PAL (via codeshare with Etihad) From Abu Dhabi to Manila, I was not very happy with it No entertainment and the seats aren't as comfortable compared to other airlines.

There was a middle aged flight attendant that was way overweight na who was kinda mean to the Filipinos but hie and friendly to the foreigners.

[byutijunkie]

^ that's so sad. 

I've been taking Pal flights for years and buti na lang wala pa akong naeencounter na masungit sa mga kapwa Pinoys but I've heard a lot of horror stories though.  Nakakaloka din na no entertainment on that flight.  Am I right that it's a 10 hour flight?

[little_princess]

^ It's over 8 hours. Usually you get a little toiletry kit if the flight is over 8 hours but PAL doesn't have that too

They are actually renting out iPads, $15. Plus the Choice Seats and Premier Economy are for an additional price pa.

Even big screen showing movies, wala

[stormy]

Grabe naman ang PAL from gate 3 e pinalipat N3. Tapos pinalipat ulit sa S1. Mukhang delayed pa yata ang flight to sg

[minnie99]

Anyone here who was able to book with the Mastercard Promo? Been trying a lot of dates, pero wala akong mahanap na applicable yung promo.

[little_princess]

^ Try Cathay Pacific if PAL doesn't have dates. I know they have a promo with MC too

[krabby_patty]

^ Sis minnie99, not all sectors (like Guam or Korea, if I'm not mistaken) are included in the Mastercard promo. I was able to find discounted fares round trip Manila to Taipei for May 2015 travel date. Not all dates are discounted. I guess selected flights lang din.

[minnie99]

Yup! I saw nga. Mali lang pala nilalagay kong last 2 digits ng code. LOL! Okay din yung dates for Osaka, halos every date, meron. Tapos yung discounted Regular, mas mababa sa normal-priced Budget.

Still deciding if I should buy now dahil mukhang hindi na magpo-promo yung CebuPac sa dates na gusto ko. :|
