Avoid PAL

Flew from PPS to BKK via Manila, staff at the counter wanted to know where I was flying to from manila, duh it says BKK, then they wanted to know where I was flying to from BKK, I said I am going for business meetings and when I have concluded my meetings I will return dubai,.I don't have a ticket as the agenda for.mt meetings is open and I didn't want to risk rushing meetings or closing deals. Then they said oh u will need an onwards ticket ffs, stop reading a fuxking script and use your common sense. After finally agreeing they said that PAL would not send my luggage direct as per my ticket but i would collect it in manila and check in again. Jeez!!
Well at manila there was no mention of how long I was staying in BKK or onwards from there.
On towards the flight, well from 1 hour delay it became a 4 hour delay, because the flight from CEBU was oh LATE!! Which meant my meeting scheduled for.8pm in BKK had to be rescheduled !! My client only available for this evening meaning no deal and a loss of earnings!!
So this 4 hour delay, PAL, decided to onboard all passengers, so for over an hour we had to endure refrigerator temperature, lack of communication from the pilot or the air hostess. I was already suffering with a cold that cold turned into flu and fever.

Fuxking PAL, trash (basura) airline from The start of.my journey to leaving Philippines!!!
Flight PR376, seat 53c Manila to BKK

Worst experience booking this airline

Worst experience booking this airline. I always use PAL to fly back home but this year is just ridiculous. They changed my seat 3x since i booked it and they did again 2 weeks before my flight withiut my consent. I kept calling them to not change my seat but they keep doing it. I paid extra for my husband and I seat to have appropriate leg room cause my husband is 6’1” and we have a boy. Same for my inlaws who are seniors. I feel defeated at this point to call again and let them know we paid extra for leg room. I feel like there is no point. Honestly, i wont book this airline if there’s another airline flying straight to philippines.

Do NOT fly Philippine Airlines

Dear TP Friends,

My experience with Philippine Airlines just got worse. It was pretty bad before (see my review of September 26). They have found a way of going below terrible.

The details.
I booked a flight in business class to avoid any unnecessary drama or expense as I am traveling for work. It has been a fiasco.
First, they bumped me off my original flight. When I phoned to figure out what was happening or at least find a convenient flight - the customer service person claimed it had nothing to do with PA and hung up on me!
Extraordinary.
To be clear, my business class reservation was done in August for a flight in October. In September, they simply pushed me off my existing flight and refused to help rebook it.
After a long time - about a day of business time wasted while I rebooked my flights with a travel agent - they have now informed all passengers on my flight that the plane they have scheduled to fly from Los Angeles to Manila does not have the fuel load to carry us all the way across the Pacific!
We have to refuel in Hawaii, which will make our arrival five hours late. This means I will miss my connecting flights to Australia.
I now have to rebook again all my ongoing flights.
Dreadful. Dreadful. The time and energy wasted is such a drain.
Two further points.
I have a high regard for most Filipinos. They are a good people struggling against appalling corruption and mismanagement. However, Philippines Airlines is exactly an example of what they struggle against.

Second, I am paying the highest fees that one can do, to avoid these problems. I really wish I had chosen to fly with a first world airlines like United, Air Canada or another expensive carrier. It would have been cheaper in the end.

Good luck and safe travels to everyone!

PR 105 Travel from SFO to Manila

Charize showed excellent customers service skills.She welcomed us right way. She was very attentive, and always checked if we needed anything. I also noticed that their crew was always smiling. They provided fast service and saw to it that the restroom was always clean. By far, compared to the other crew, this is the most helpful, attentive and efficient crew that we've experience when travelling via PAL.

Throwing up experience in PAL flight

I travelled to Manila from Toronto on 28 August 2024 flight number PR 119.

I was very unhappy about the inflight service when I became very ill during the flight. When I was informed about the meal, the food choices were beef (which tasted very tough) pork and fish. I decided to choose pork because I am allergic to fish. I became very ill after eating the pork dish, I was severely throwing up after ingesting the PAL food.

None from the crew on my flight was assisting me whilst I was throwing up! The plane didn’t even have a sick bag where I could puke!! The call button wasn’t working either!!

Only Katherine Lirio who saw me and she raised concern what has happening to me being sick! She assisted me all throughout the flight, she gave me a pill that calmed my system down.

Being born a Filipino, I wanted to show my patriotic spirit by flying PAL, I wanted to give PAL the benefit of the doubt that being a flag carrier your service would be impeccable and on par with the other competition. How wrong was I, after I experienced such appalling and pathetic service from your inflight crew!

Please consider my review as a positive criticism and make an effort towards improving your inflight service.

Very helpful Philippine Airlines ground stuff

Unlike most of the reviews here, I will recommend Philippine Airlines customer service -
We forgot a smartphone in the seat pocket in front, and realized it when the plane left the airport back to Manila. The phone had everything for our trip. We called their customer service and explained what happened. They sent someone in Manila waiting for the plane to land, found the phone and sent it back to Cagayan De Oro, and we came to pick it up. Thanks to all the crew in CDO airport and to Philippine Airlines customer service. I don't know many airlines that would be so helpful like this.

bad service


Since we never received a reply by email, really shameful!!
I state that the Tickets were purchased not separately, but with a single ticket that included a stopover with another company
We hereby wish to claim compensation for the inconvenience suffered due to a delay on our flight from Manila to Riyadh, which caused us to miss our connection with the flight from Riyadh to Rome on 25 August 2023. Our booking details are as follows:
Booking reference (PNR) 54NFNK
The delay was caused by a technical fault on board. The cabin crew wrote down our details and said they would contact the company, but upon our arrival in Riyadh, no assistance was provided to us. As a result, we were forced to pay for a new return flight at our own expense, in addition to having to spend the whole night at the airport in unsuitable conditions, since the next available and cheapest flight was the following day.
According to EC Regulation 261/2004, passengers are entitled to compensation and assistance in the event of long delays resulting in the missed connection. In addition to the lack of assistance from your staff, we were denied the right to meals during the entire time spent waiting at the airport.

Therefore, we request the following:

Full refund for the connecting flight from Riyadh to Rome that we were unable to use.
Reimbursement of the expenses incurred for the purchase of new return tickets.
Financial compensation for the meals denied and the inconvenience suffered, as provided for by EC Regulation 261/2004.
We trust that your company will take responsibility for what happened and act in accordance with European regulations on passenger rights. We await your prompt and decisive response.

Best regards,
Alberto Russo

We understand that you are seeking compensation for a delayed flight from Manila to Riyadh and a subsequent missed connection to Rome on August 25, 2023. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused. We have reviewed the details of your experience and have noted that your tickets for the connecting flight were booked separately. As a result, we do not have visibility into that specific flight, and our ability to assist with a refund for that portion of your journey is limited.

If your taller than 160cm

If your taller than 160cm, don't even try fitting in their seats. Tried to change to emergency exit seat that was available. Not a chance, against policy, so they rather flew 9,5 hours with all those seats empty.

Two separate flights cancelled

Two separate flights cancelled on the same day with no weather limitations and no explanation within hours of flight. PAL provided no substitutions or alternatives even though they were available on other airlines. I had to pay out of my pocket for a flight on another airline at nearly the same time as my cancelled flight. The after being forced by their cancelations and losing a day of vacation they denied me access to their airport lounge on a forced 13 hour layover.

Worst airline ever

Bought a return flight from Sydney to Istanbul and have never experienced such a horrific situation. Only at the airport was I informed I would need to collect check in baggage, go through customs, exit the airport and go to a different terminal, re check in baggage for the second flight, go through immigration and customs and check in/board flight. All staff on the flight and at the airport were unhelpful and dismissive, providing unclear instructions and blaming me for lack of time management when there was no communication between connecting flights. Tried to discuss with many different airport and airline patrons my issue, however was completely disregarded and threatened that I would miss my flight and would need to purchase a new ticket. Completely unprofessional in the approach and truly disappointed in the customer service. Why sell tickets for flights that are impossible to connect to? It makes no sense. I was flying with my mother who was not given access to any disability services due to the lack of support from Phillipines Airlines staff or terminal transfer services. My baggage was damaged upon collection and I was informed that they do not take responsibility. I will never be flying with this airline again and cannot express the disappointment of this travel experience due to Phillipines Airlines. 10/10 would NOT RECOMMEND to anyone ever. I hope at least one person reads this and does not need to go through the horrific process that I did.

Worst airline i have ever flown in 35 years
We were robbed by baggage handlers in Cebu 20/07 and Busuanga 24/07. On the 24/07/2024 we had the audacity to lodge a complaint about this. Outcome was on returning to Australia on the 27th they lied about our seating allocation and ensured my luggage didnt return with me and was delayed 48 hours.
items stolen include powerpoint converters, charger, underwear, shorts, t-shirts and prescription medication

10/08 appreciate the response but I had already provided relevant information on the 24/07 and was advised it would be referred but nothing has happened
I have no faith that the airline will do anything

Terrible communication and service.

Terrible communication and service.
We bought a ticket with Phillipine airlines from Brunei to Cebu. We knew the first flight was operated by Royal Brunei Airlines. But they couldn't even check us in the whole way. They could not communicate the two
terminals couldn't even speak to each other.
No service..only one guy named Phillip was brave and helped us reach the plane..even though we had been mistreated, they suddenly ask us extra fee for the suitcases their so called partner Royal Brunei Airlines had arrived. They say it's Royal Brunei's fault. We don't buy that. Our advice for Phillipine airlines are. 1 don't cooperate with Royal Brunei Airlines if you don't speak together 2. Teach your staff to communicate between the two terminals and don't sell tickets which are impossible to make connecting flights if you are not willing to make the services and organize it

The worst experience with an unethical company.

I celebrated my 40th Birthday in the Philippines and because of this special day I opted to spend a lot on Business class. Unfortunately their business class was absolutely terrible. While the food was mediocre the real issue was my seat. The seat was broken and if you tried to recline the bottom half that holds your legs up would collapse making your back bend and therefore making it impossible to recline. I basically had an economy seat. After, I reached out to the airline over 8 times, literally. Every single time I was promised by a manager that someone would reach out to me but it only happened on after the 8th attempt. Fast forward, the only thing they offered me was miles and no monetary refund. I will probably take them to small claims as there have been others rewarded money from litigation for this very same thing.

Cancelled return flights Manila to…

Cancelled return flights Manila to Sydney then they shuffle passengers on different flights to save money we were a group of 4 seniors returning on 3 different dates thankfully IATA are looking into the way airlines are conducting their business Qantas have already been fined for selling tickets on flights they knew would be cancelled
We had only an email saying to of our party had their flights changed on a different date so the other 2 thought we were on the original return dates the only reason we rated 3 stars is because of Leslie Azagra from Philippines Airline ticket office in Makati sorted out return dates so we all travel together as she informed us our original return flight was cancelled which we did not know big shout out for her service Ian & Clarita Barry
