Apart from a departure gate change, a good experience with professional, friendly staff.
I like the pleasantness of how courteous and friendly and helpful everyone is
It was great! The flight was on time and had a smoother flight
Boarding and flying on time is the most important need of passengers they did that
Everything was very good but seats are small for a big man!
Well, I needed to make a change to my flight and I called the airline and they said yes no problem $700 and we can do that and I agreed to it so they canceled my tickets and went to rebook and came back after being on hold for an hour and a half and said I’m sorry, sir. There was an error. It is $2800 Now and I said never mind. I will just use those flights and she proceeded to tell me that they already canceled them because I said I was interested in doing the change. I told her yes for $700. I was fine with doing a change but not $2800 so give me my tickets back and she proceeded to tell me that she could not do that and I had to pay the $2800 to get my tickets back that I already spent $2800 on. So I had to book tickets on another airline to get home And that cost a lot of money too. I’m a little pissed off at Philippine airline right now because of what they did to me and I’m not sure I ever wanna fly with them again. I’ve flown with them plenty in the past, but this just really put a bad taste in my mouth.. Not to mention on my way there leaving Seattle going to Vancouver. I got to the airport three hours in advance and they had booked me through Alaska Airlines to do that little trip. My connecting flight would leave about six hours after I got to Vancouver BC. I stood in Alaska Airlines lying for a little over two hours and then they proceeded to tell me that they couldn’t check me in because I wasn’t there an hour in advance. I kept telling the lady at the beginning of the line that I was afraid they were not gonna let me in because it was taking so long and she said oh don’t worry about it. You’re fine you’ve got time. Well I ended up spending $600 to get to Canada that night just to make my connecting flight because Alaska air wouldn’t do anything and Filipino Air told me it was Alaska air problem but Alaska air said since you booked through Philippine air, we can’t fix it. I had about 50 minutes to make my flight, but they refused to check me in because I wasn’t there an hour in advance yet. I’ve been standing in their line for about two hours and 15 minutes.
Overall the flight was a good experience. It is different from American Airlines because they board the back of the plane first rather than the front first. Food was decent. They gave out pillows ,blankets , and face masks. I did find this airline had faster flights back home than others. Less travel and layover time.
Delayed, from morning flight, they moved to evening. And said, their earlier flight is already full but we can upgrade the seat
I can't complain. Flying with Philippines airlines was the best choice. They are the best option in the Philippines.
Check-in was tedious. They could just have used the electronic boarding passes and counter checked the passengers’ names in their manifest. What’s the use of the early checkin if we still have to queue at the only 1 functioning checkin counter!
You have to get a physical boarding pass even if you check in online. Plan for open air boarding with steps. They were strict on luggage at the counter (1 checked bag only), but then checked additional bags at the gate, for free. Snacks and drinks, including water, are for a fee. Staff were friendly and the seats were comfortable.
froze to death on flight 3rd world at Cebu airport.
supposed the boarding time is 7:00pm and its already 7:15 yet noone is announcing or haven't received email that the flight is delayed. noone cares actually the plane haven't arrived yet, I asked the crew instead of them telling the passengers
My flight got canceled and I nearly missed my connecting flight to el nido because of this . So I had to get up at 4am to catch a ferry to cebu and travel 7 hours to the airport I am not happy at all
