Philippine Airlines

Constantly striving to improve service on time performance remains an issue and aircraft are basic and uncomfortable.

I prepaid my extra luggage online and printed my booking reference where it stated how much extra luggage allowance I have. At the checkin counter in Manila they told me they have no record of my extra luggage. When I showed them my receipt I was advised I need the “real” receipt apparently sent by email. Nobody could tell me why my booking reference included the extra luggage. No arguing or discussion with supervisor and on-site manager helped. Because I had not prepaid according to them the double-rate applied. Absolutely abysmal! Sheer highway robbery! What an airline and what management. I will avoid these guys in future! So for ripping me off an extra 3,000 Peso they lost much more in future business.

PAL is a disgrace for the Philippines and its wonderful people. What a welcome!

I filed a complaint with the airline and they assured me I will get a response. That was 2 months ago.

Arrived with broken foot, bone smashed and 5 screws, in a jack boot. Simple request for a wheelchair…. Too hard… all wheel chairs in another terminal…. waited an hour. Get me on the plane, told me could not sit with partner / carer. Food bad, Customer service zero. Crappy seats on tired plane

Philippne Airlines flight on PR 113 from Los Angeles California to Manila on October 17th, 2018. Inflight food average 4/10. Cabin crew service is poor as they don’t attend passengers needs such as giving out water after meal service. Passengers left dehydrated for a 15 hour straight flight and no mi flight snacks served as indicated on their inflight menu. Economy class passengers received poor service compared to thier Business Class. Cabin crews are nowhere to found after every meal service. Inflight Entertainment is 2/10 and the same movies I’ve watched 1 year ago. Wifi on board not working on their B777-300er.

London to Manila. We booked flights for Thursday 7th June. 3 weeks before our flight date we have been told that the flight is cancelled and we either have to fly a day later and miss the wedding or a day earlier and have to take unpaid leave and deal with work complications because of it. If we had known before we would have chosen a different airline, however 3 weeks before the flight date flights have sky rocketed in price and suitable flights not available so is not an option. What’s more the flights we now were cheaper at the time of booking so we have now also overpaid for a flight we did not want. No compensation or apology from Philippines Airlines so far. Very poor service and terrible reliability.
