Even with the Vancouver fuel stop, PAL is still the fastest option for Manila to NYC. The A350's more humid cabin is a big help with this very long distance.

The first plane I remember flying on was a PAL 747-400 back in the 90s when we immigrated to the US. And bitter-sweetly, the last 747 I’ve flown on was a PAL domestic flight from CEB-MNL. Mabuhay to the queen of the skies!

I have flied Philippines from London to Manila . Yeah triple seven! Best flight ever! Also from Milan to Manila. That time with 340. Excellent flight. Thank You so so much Philippine!!!

As a lucky kiddo who has flown on the 747 and the A340, I can say that the crew are friendly and accommodating. I also love the little design elements that they incorporate to have that traditional motif.

The airline will always be very close to me. Living in Hawaii, I always loved flying on the A330 to visit family in the Philippines. Also had the chance to fly on the 747-400 which was an amazing experience.

Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!

I set out on a flight from Davao to Sydney, Australia, and herein lies the story. The plane left Davao headed for Manila approximately two hours late due to weather delays. My connecting flight was due to leave Manila just under an hour before my plane landed there. To my total surprise and overwhelming relief, PAL staff were waiting and rushed through Manila airport and onto the plane that they had keep waiting for my arrival. The plane arrived in Sydney at its scheduled arrival time. THAT IS SERVICE SECOND TO NONE !!!

I have been a fan of aviation for a long time and have been watching your channel for quite some time now. Guess what? This is exactly what i have been waiting. Thank you!

Ah yes! My long awaited requested video. You have earned a subscriber. Kudos to the video!!❤🖤

In a short to mid term perspective, the A350s would be the viable solution given that it is already in production and PAL has been using it which is already familiar to its pilots. Although, it is no denying that 777s are vital in the operations and growth of the airline because of its good mix of capacity and range. Moving forward, with the aircraft that they currently have, I think that the airline should focus more on revamping their cabin products especially on their 777s and narrow bodies.

Thank you simple flying for this video. So much appreciated

Thank you simple flying for making this video it is so nice to finally make this video🥰👍

Absolutley love the Philippines and Philippines airlines is amazing service.

OMGGGGGG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! 😫❤️

Nice video as usual, From the Philippines here. Hope to see you also do Cebu Pacific’s fleet soon…

For new planes, it makes more sense for PR to go with the 350 instead of the 777x both for range (Same reason for SQ given the geography) and for type rating/CCQ with the a320 family and a330, two planes that will never be given up given how important they are for domestic routes. Just that right now, the 77W makes sense just as much as it does for everyone else.

Beautiful presentation!👍

Been flying PAL most of my domestic and international flights. Really great! Flight from LA to MNL was great!

I know live here in Canada but before I moved with my family, we used Philippine Airlines if we don’t go through any layovers. Always the nice 777 from Vancouver to Manila, though the seats are a bit lower compared to other carriers I’ve been to like Korean Air. Would like to fly other aircraft of Philippine Airlines especially the A350 and A330s.

Finally! Hope you can make Cebu Pacific fleet soon! Also, I would've flown with them by 2020 if weren't for the pandemic.

Took my first vacation to the Philippines on Philippine Airlines from Toronto to Manila and back. Can’t really compare with other airlines as this is was my first time flying but my experience was great with them. The legroom was good, the flight attendants were nice and the food was really tasty. Will definitely fly with them again on my next vacation.

Interesting fact is that PAL flies A350s and 777s domestically

We, Filipinos are very proud of our flag carrier’s airlines and Cebu Pacific as well. Thank you Simple flying!

Just recently flown with them from DOH-MNL with their A330. it's comfortable and the crew is really friendly. Great food too for Premium Economy Class passengers! Their A330s in the Middle East don't have Onboard Internet Wifi though.

Your trip report was fantastic, thank you! I recently came across your Qantas trip report from HKG to SYD, which was also very enjoyable. It's unfortunate that PAL’s food was only average on this flight. When I flew with them before Covid from MNL to MEL, the food was actually quite impressive. They even served ice cream between dinner and breakfast. Once again, thank you for sharing your wonderful trip report.

new subscriber :D Keep up the good work mate :D

I remember flying with PAL (Philippine Airlines) to Manila around June in 2015 (before my class starts), together with my cousin. That trip was to go to my relatives and there is any important papers that are related for me. The first PAL aircraft (to Manila) was an A320ceo (with a residue on a L1 door, presumably used for the Philippine president/Vice president). It was my first time to fly that plane with an overhead IFE, since me and my relatives usually flew only without IFE on board. Also on board, the food choices were small and instead eating a Quaker snack bar, I drink only a coffee, even I was 14 years old at that time. Also at the same time, I have a problem of my ears. I carefully wear their headphone and didn’t volume up the audio so my ears won’t be hurt or whatsoever.I also found out that the earphone that I have is different from the ones the airline provide (I thought they didn’t provide, but I was wrong). The second PAL aircraft (back to Davao) was their (then) new A321ceo. It was my first flight with a stretcher variant of the A320 family & it has a Shakrlet. I was disappoint to see that they don’t have an IFE on board (except for Business Class that the airline provide an Ipad). Even it was a disappointment flight, at least it wasn’t another A320ceo’s. Also, I order the same beverage (of course a coffee).

I'm so excited - I can't wait to experience the new fleet of Philippine Airlines! I've heard amazing stories from friends who've flown with them before and can't wait to experience it myself.

Aloha! Excellent Quality And Very Informative Videos! I Hope You Can Make An Hawaiian Airlines Fleet Soon As They Purchase New 787-9’s 🤙🏽

very nice

Thanks for sharing

I am a Filipino citizen and I work in the UAE. I always look forward to the days when I get to board our flag carrier, PAL! This route however is serviced by their 777 fleet. Anyway, I hope that they will consider adding the Dreamliner in their fleet especially if cost-cutting is concerned hand-in-hand with modernization. Glad that they are considering the 777x though, and hopefully they'll consider getting those new Airbus Wide Body and Long Range planes coming up too!

This was good to watch. I am flying Pal express dash 8s soon and I am an anxious flyer. Good to know they’re young!

I was recently on a PAL a321 flight from Melbourne to Manila. Was 8.5 hours. They do send the a321 to SYD as well I believe.

Nice that you picked the airline I take a lot

Thank you for featuring our national carrier plane✔️💯😘😍

Hoping they’ll have a SEA-MNL route. Many Fil-Ams in the PNW outside of BC. It’ll also complement the folks connecting at a SEA.

My first flight with PAL was aboard a BAC One Eleven on the MNL-LGP route in the late 80's. Also rode their 737 300s also on the MNL-LGP route back in 1992. Rode a couple 747s. First the MNL-BNE in 1995 and finally on a domestic from MNL-DVO in 2011.

I remembered that my Mom flew with several other retired PAL aircrafts like the 747-400 and the A340-300, sad that I didn't get to see these behemoths with the Nation's flag, but, she was surprised that she flew on aircrafts that have been retired. Also, her last flight with PAL is an A330-300.

I do hope to fly in PAL by next year, they are aiming again serve again Baguio City Loakan Airport, the destination of their first ever flight by Christmas 2022 but this time it will be from Cebu instead of Manila.

Thank you for exploring PAL

Have flown the 747 & 777 flights from YYZ-MNL and return. Great service & staff

PAL has interesting fleets and routes indeed. Could you please do any updates on fleets of Garuda and where they fly these days? I am lost with them.

Would really love to see a B777X fleet for Pal as it could increase its passenger capacity and have the same range as their current B773 though the timeline delivery would be a bit of a problem if ever they would really order.

I flew with them from Vancouver to Manila in April and it was a very pleasant experience, both ways. I'm happy though they didn't drop the New York and Toronto services during restructuring, which was one possibility they were exploring. When I go in 2023, I hope to go from Toronto instead.

I just got off my Philippine Airlines flight a few hours ago. The flight was from BNE to MNL on flight number 222 on an Airbus A321-271N registered RP-C9936. It has the refurbished cabin interior. It departed from Brisbane at 11:00 am and arrived at 5:30 pm on 16/12/23.

Can you also do a deep dive on Cebu Pacific's fleet? Thank you 😊

I would like to see you review Cebu Pacific 😁

I hope you peek into Cebu Pac's fleet. I know many people want to see the all economy A330 neo.

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO FLEET OF CEBU PACIFIC THE LOW COST CARRIER OF THE PH

Do Cebu Pacific next please

Everytime i see PAL i was reminded w/my first airplane ride the PAL boeing 737 from Manila-Davao,i cried 'cause my ear aches when it taked off 😅😅😅,then my 1st international flight to LA in an boeing 747.......how time flies now both of this planes were retired.....but my latest ride was A-a350 in my own opinion a worthy torch bearer of PAL.

proud to be a citizen of the republic of the philippines TRULY ASIA'S FIRST, FROM THE HEART OF THE FILIPINO

I hope you can add chapters on your next video thanks

Can you do a review as well in Cebu Pacific 🙏

Let's maintain the fleet... Again, and again, and again!

i remember during 80's going to Hong Kong taking the love Bus Logo using Airbus 600B

🇵🇭😍Mabuhay from the Philippines😍🇵🇭 I been flying with Philippine Airlines this year of March❤️ It was good service and super convenient to entertain the passengers

Simple Flying Pls Make a Video about the Total Fleet of the Competitor of Philippine Airlines. Cebu Pacific pls do a Video about it in this Channel

I had a chance of flying PAL's BAC1-11 back in 1986 when I was younger, MNL-JKT

As great this airline seems, we cannot forget about PAL 434 in 1994.

The only airline that is very close to my heart ❤️ fly high PAL!

At 0:52 was bso aviation a spotter here in our beautiful province of batanes

Malaysia airlines next please 🙌

Niceeee my flag carrier

Woah, I've not heard of this MNL-ICN-LAX-HNL-MNL route by A330s. I was under the impression MNL-LAX was direct and exclusively served by 777s. And I guess I'd fly the A330 ones as I believe they are newer and they have a premium economy product at least.

Flew with A PAL a330 back then enroute to hong kong back in 2017 It was good cant tell what the seat was like but pretty good

Their current fleet is nice, but sometimes I miss their old fleet from the 90s (737s, A300s, 747s, DC-10s, Fokker 50s)

Simple flying also would say “PR is a prime airline to order A321XLR’s to replace the A330 and B777 because that’s what everyone wants.”

Please also review Cebu Pacifics Fleet.

You deserve at least a million subscribers.

my first international flight in1982 was the 747 mnl-hnl-lax

Economy on the A350 was really quite good. First time I was able to sleep on an airplane. Took it from Manila to NY.

I flew AMS-DOH-CEB. the DOH-CEB was with the 777-300.

I used to fly to manila yearly for 5 years flow PAL on 777 a340 a320 neo I have been on a triple seven from Vancouver to Manila and reverse so many times 4 times in business class pretty good

U forgot about pal’s a350 and 777-300er routes to europe like greece, paris,frankfurt, etc.

I have flown on Philippine Airlines three of the four times I have visited the Philippines. All my flights have been PR113 and PR112 LAX-MNL and MNL- LAX. My last trip was the worse experience I had with Philippine Airlines and probably be my last time using the airlines they informed me Friday morning that my Monday flight on PR112 has changed to the Airbus 330 which had a technical stop in Seoul when I found out Friday morning I reached out to the Airlines all weekend long trying to figure out how I was going to make my flight to Las Vegasand told them that I would miss my flight from LAX to LAS because of this change and they told me don't worry when you get to LAX they'll be a in Transit person will help you but when I got there there was nobody there to help me. The flight landed 10 minutes after my flight from LAX to LAS departed. I ended up renting a car and driving home to Las Vegas. I spent an extra $400 on the supposedly non-stop flights not a technical stop that I booked back in April but did I get anything from Philippine Airlines all I got was a stinking sorry excuse apology email from the airlines.

So early man hasn't even enabled the comments yet

Mabuhay!

1:18 The 777-300ER and A350-900 are also big jets.

What happened to PAL's Manila to London route?

No disrespect intended, but I wish they would dress up the "Philippines" with a more dynamic font or coloring. Make it larger, possibly, like the way Pan Am did with their billboard livery. The tail and winglets are magnificent though. 🌈✨️

Please do SAS

I remember flying with 747 from Cebu to Manila 😃

Why did they replace the a330s with CF6 engines? All of their a330s have Trent engines

Do Cebu Pacific or AirAsia Philippines

I love the Philippines airlines❤

Mabuhay

I am glad that PAL is still holding strong even this couple of years. Thank you for the video and hoping PAL have at least have 2 777X and new 747-8 on its fleets. As a mechanic i was hoping too work on this plane. Mabuhay to PAL and philippines

My last flight to JFK from MNL was in 2019, on an A350. The best ever.

Kelan kaya magkakaron ang pinas ng A-380 Airbus?

Do Cebu pacific

Miss the BAC One-Eleleven of PAL.

Does anyone know why they have 3 of there 777's parked?? (there short of planes now, that's why they use a 330 on their Manila to Lax, LAX to Manila route)

Philippines has a best strategic location they should take advantage for that specially actions from our govt.. pal will be the beneficial for that.. lets help our flag carrier to come up again and ihope pal will upgrade their fleets and services

believe it or not, they actually use their widebodies for domestic services, e.g PR454/453

PR112 and PR113 are actually on a 77W and go nonstop between MNL and LAX.

Would be nice if a USA based airline had flights to Manila or at a minimum PAL join an alliance. Had a wretched time last month flying PAL international into the Philippines and around the islands last month. Great crew however, the hard product has much to be desired.

Funny how your video doesn't mention they fly direct to the UK as well

how bout MNL - TORONTO??
