Philippine Airlines [Thread 4]

[Cherry143]

There are alot of options to buy promo/ discounted tickets for PAL flight.

1) use the accumulated mabuhay miles
2) buy ticket thru your corporate sales promo
3) buy thru the "travel madness promo"
4) meron pang "fly all you can" promo

Hayayay, e-entertain kaya nila ako sa phone kung gusto ko malaman aling promo dito ang pinaka-mura, and give me the actual total cost na kailangan kong bayaran (no other hidden cost)? 
then finally, i need confirm kung talaga nga bang nakatipid ako sa PAL by comparing it to other airlines  .  kakapagod mag-canvass ng flight kaya.

planning to go to SG on Sept...

anyone na nakapag try na nung option 3 and 4?

[vhanya]

we tried option 4. sulit sya if business class seats.

Really? They upgraded even their 320s with Mabuhay class? Or only those airports with the bigger aircraft?

Yup yup. Ilang years na rin merong business class on local flights. I remember naabutan ko din mono-class before. Wala pa si hubby sa PAL nun. We were flying to Kalibo for Boracay then. I asked my PAL friends to place me on 1A. I thought back then it was gonna be a nice seat but Fiesta class pa yun before...circa 2003. Well, easy in, easy out.

Now, yes, even the A320s, which are the workhorses of PAL (and 5J ), esp for domestic routes, have Mabuhay Class. 8 or 12 seats, depends on which a/c you get. They sell C-class even on short flights like LAO or LGP. Not so sure if it's lucrative but it's been going on for quite a while now.

Hi! Ok na ba ang pal airfare na 15k for mla-hk-mla  including phil travel tax na 1620? Economy class po ito for april next yr nag inquire lang ako sa pal hotline. Or puwede pa bumaba yan? Thanks

[vhanya]

^during sales, i get it as low as 7k. so if i-add mo yung travel tax, around 9k max lang. regular fare yang 15k

[princess lorraine]

Oo nga sis vhanya eh regular fare ito.  i'll just wait for their promo. Thanks sis. 

[vhanya]

^they have sales every weekend. 12midnight saturday, sale lagi yang HK-MLA route nila.

[onefineapril]

sa mga suki ng PAL... any idea sa price range ng SG-MLA-SG airfare during Christmas season?  Let's say.. 3rd week of Dec until 1st week of Jan?

at the moment, sobrang mahal ng ticket nila e... nasa 1200SGD and roundtrip 

[theflygirl]

^Peak season kasi Ng airlines start around 15dec till march so you'll really encounter high fares during your preferred travel dates.

[onefineapril]

^thanks, sis!  over lang kasi sa mahal... X4

hi, sis! how to know if incorporated na siya? is this applicable for local flights or international lang? thanks in advance!

[oneone]

lagi pa rin bang delayed ang flights nila?

[theflygirl]

^Applicable for domestic flights only, for now.

[hisana]

1200sgd! I didn't know it can get that high!

[spensierato]

Hi. San po nagbabayad ng travel tax sa terminal 2? Is it before check-in or after check-in?

[theflygirl]

^Late reply. 

Pay for travel tax BEFORE checking in as the receipt is collected by the check in agent. At terminal 2, you can find the PTA counter just across the x-ray machines. Submit your passport and ticket, pay at the cashier (where one also pays for excess baggage). Collect your receipt, then proceed to the check in counter.

Kanina sa flight namin sobrang sungit nung isang FA nakasagutan na nya yun isang passenger  kasi harang2x sya sa aisle to control yun disembarkartion which is normal kaso hindi nya alam yun kabilang aisle paubos na. Pinapauna of course yun nasa unahan kaso mga nasa likod na pala yun bumababa d pa alam nun flight attendant sya pa ang galit sa nagcall ng attention nya nun nai-point out sa kanya. Delayed flight na susungit pa ng FAs kanina. Sana itong mga ito yun nandun sa flight ko minsan na may grupo/passengers na ayaw magpatay ng cellphones throughout the flight. Maganda sana sila ang magkatagpo parehas pasaway.
