Etsi halvat lennot: Philippine Airlines

Miinukset: Excessive time to get ticketing in the beginning. Poor passenger handling and lack of caring by checking in and airport agents

Miinukset: . I was shocked to see social distancing was not implemented with no seats apart and I was in the middle of four seats. If the journey is as important as the destination, then it already failed the minute I was seated in a very intimate setting alongside strangers and seeing the economy class fully booked. The airline defended this by saying they have special economy seats but I complained that this is not equitable since the seats are limited and not everyone could afford an upgrade. Even if they could, the passengers would still be seated side by side and the total number of passengers aboard a tight and enclosed space or load factor is still very high. The airline’s policy was so inconsistent with the very rigid rules of the different government agencies upon disembarkation.

Miinukset: Other than the better seating, business class on PAL is like economy on most airlines. Lousy food, half a glass of generic wine. Screen is too far from seated position, the remote didn’t work, and it was a long stretch to use the touch screen. Seats were not that comfortable for sleeping.

Plussat: The type of plane 330

Miinukset: Its not cold inside.

Miinukset: couldnt change it

Plussat: The crew,the staff were very friendly and polite the food was definitely below par seat not very comfortable , entertainment good variety.

Miinukset: The food could be better ! My partner and brother in-law are filipino could not even eat let alone myself !! The seats are very close together even though there is lots of room under the seat in front witch was very much like myself being over 6 foot. I don’t know if the hardness of the seats are a safety thing but my ass was sore after the first half hour and after 8 hours wow not good!!!

Miinukset: First time traveling via Philippines airlines, was hoping for a good direct flight, was just very disappointed. Not much variety in food, no really onboard vegetarian or seafood options. Comfort wise economy seat are bit tighter compared to other international airlines. Crew was very helpful, did their best to accommodate to what they had to work with, their crew truly saves their short-givings.

Plussat: Leaving the gate early, and take off right on time, landing early and at the gate right on time: amazing!

Miinukset: The crew is enforcing strictly the rule that the "forward seats" need to pay extra, even though entire rows are empty... No exception for any reason.

Plussat: On the Honolulu to Manila flight the crew were attentive and pleasant. I was comfortable and had TV to pass some of the hours on board. On the Manila to Singapore, there was no TV and the crew were less pleasant.

Miinukset: The young crew on the Manila to Singapore flight could have seen the journey as more of an opportunity to actually do their job rather than a chance to sit at the back chatting. When I approached one for a hot water bottle as it was freezing, she screwed up her face at my request and turned and spoke to her colleague in a language I couldn't understand making me feel uncomfortable. One of the worst things though was the food. Throughout the whole flight from Oahu to Singapore, there were no vegetarian options (even the mid flight sandwich had ham and cheese). Further, you were served a hot meal almost within an hour of being in the air, then had to wait about six hours for the snack and then another hot meal was served within three hours of that at a very rushed pace making the experience very unenjoyable. This happened on the way to oahu also so it is something that they practice regularly. Terminal 2 at Manila is also terrible if you have a long layover!

Miinukset: Boarding process

Miinukset: Many changes and mistakes

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Need improvements

Plussat: Not Satisfied!

Miinukset: Need improvements

Plussat: having the access to a direct flight to the Philippines.

Miinukset: enforcing rules and regulations too passengers. as a person of purchasing additional leg room, this should be enforced to pay for additional leg room vs just giving that additional space for free. This is the second time I experienced and this has not changed since last year.

Miinukset: The transfer in Manila was like nowhere else. After the security check we were sent outside where buses were driving to claim our checked-in luggage to take it for another check just to drop it one minute later. Anywhere in the world if you board a flight with a stop-over you see your luggage at the final destination, not the case if you fly trough Manila.

Miinukset: No movies, seats were hard , could have used more beverages.

Miinukset: food was so bad. bread/roll was served long after the food is served, due to zoning assignments. NO FREAKING INFLIGHT ENtERtainment the whole FReaking 14hrs of flight time. very poor, very bad for expensive airfare tickets

Plussat: Movie selection was ok

Miinukset: Ran out of meals offered me crackers and bread boarding was a mess long delays I will never fly Philippines airline again!
