Worlds Top 10 Airlines

[XTO]

wala ang asia's first airline. PAL agree with boybi when it comes to safety records, ibang klase mag maintain mga filipino engineers and technicians

PAL sucks laging delayed. The best sa mga nasubukan ko is Cathay Pacific and SIngapore Airlines tied sila para sakin. US carriers also suck.

Speaking of PAL, last time ako nag PAL (international flight) late yung departure ng one hour. Sabi nung ground steward eh we would be given daw a "sumptuous" dinner.

Ano yung dinner?

McChicken. Amft...

^^You serious? As in McChicken with complete Mcdo wrapper?

Dead serious. I was pissed off to the hilt. Got delayed by an hour na, crummy food pa.

sa plane mismo yan or sa terminal palang? wala na siguro silang mahanapan ng mabilisang pagkain kaya fastfood na lang. sana pinapasok na lang kayo sa mabuhay lounge. lagi naman ata may pagkain dun e.

sa cebu pacific jolibee naman habang naghihintay sa boarding area.

Sa terminal. Centennial. We were supposed to fly-out at 11:00pm so boarding dapat eh 10:20pm or so. Abay 11:00 na wala pa boarding announcement. Nag-announce ng delay of flight eh 11:30. Lapit yung chief ground steward nila. Ayun, nag announce nga ng meal. McChicken. Pero ang mas maraming nag-reklamo sa food eh Pinoy. Yung mga foreigners, hala - kain! :D

Ang good thing lang eh we were allowed to go for seconds.

Meron din akong bad (or worst!) experience dyan sa PAL. During the late 90's (Bahrain based pa ako noon), pabalik ako ng Bahrain via Dubai. Yung flight, na-delay ng 1 hr. Naging 2 hrs, umabot ng 4 hrs. Nu'ng lumampas na ng 4 hrs yung delay, nag-announce na yung ground crew na yung supposed plane na sasakyan namin, hindi darating (from Dubai). No reasons mentioned kung bakit di makakarating. We have to wait na lang daw, at ang sasakyan namin, yung plane na galing pa ng Sydney, Australia. WTF! In total, almost 6 hrs ang naging delay ng flight. Ang daming nagalit.

Pina-cancel ko na lang yung flight ko, dahil yung connecting flight ko from Dubai to Bahrain, di ko na aabutin. Sabi pa ng PAL, di nila ako ihu-hotel sa Dubai, despite that delay, at sa airport na lang ako maghihintay. Pina-off load nila yung bagahe ko.

During that 6 hrs delay, "masarap" ang pinakain sa amin ng PAL. Yung bread loaf na style clubhouse ang hiwa. Palaman? He-he! Ladies' Choice...with free Sunny Orange Juice, na tinimpla sa mga cheap plastic cups. Iniikot ng PAL employees sa mga passengers.

Para kaming dumalo sa lamay ng patay!

Mula noon, least choice ko na ang PAL. Madalas ako ngayon, CX. Pero pag wala, Emirates or Gulf Air na lang.

I think the best business class deal is with CX. You're not sitting facing forward, but at a certain degree such that you can lie down flat and have your own neat 'cubicle' with all those amenities. Wife and myself were able to have this unique experience last August. However, I should admit that it feels a bit uncomfortable taking off and landing in that position....

When we pitched for PAL in the mid 90s these were generally the top airlines. The usual suspects from Asia were SQ, CX, TG, MAS

PAL was somewhere in the 50s

Could it have fallen since then?
