I heard Emirates was super kaya lang sa flight availability talagang PAL eh. Since hindi pa ako naba-bad experience sa PAL, PAL pa din ako. For domestic, I like PAL or Sea Air. Bakit nga ba parang mas magaling pa ang PAL domestic kesa sa international?

All the displeasure with PAL's stewardesses are news to me. I've yet to hear anything bad about the PAL service from either my wife or her aunt. My wife flew with PAL during her trip to the Philippines back in late 2005. My wife said the service was okay if not spectacular. My wife's aunt flew with PAL in 2004. The same thing. She was satisfied with the service. Both of them wouldn't hesitate to talk if they felt there was any bad service on PAL's part.

The only time I flew with PAL was when I visited my wife twice in Leyte back in the 90's. I flew the domestic Manila-Tacloban route. Nothing special. but, PAL's service on all my flights were far from being bad.

Oh well. I guess I'll have to see for myself someday.

2 things i hate with PAL onboard- not so pleasant /nice cabin crews and stinky, yukkky lavatories.It really sucks.
When flying Emirates, if you chance upon FA's Julie Dizon ( used to work with PGA kaya knowledgable sa kotse) and Hazel Buencamino onboard, you're in for a superb service and attention.
Virgin Atlantic- of course, one of the best inflight entertainment obviously because of VIRGIN (Sir Richard Branson), cool aircraft interiors and Esprit-like travel packs. Local version is Cebu Pacific because of "fun flight" attitude of cabin crews.They cheer up passengers, loosen tensions.
For budget travel to Singapore, Jet Star is ok. At least it's hub is Changi not the budget terminal.Clean aircraft, smiling crews but have to buy everything on board.
Northwest Airlines- virtually impossible to redeem award tickets( trans-pacific) but ok within continental USA.

I heard that's why they call it PAL = Plane Always Late.

Napag-usapan na lang din ang mga airlines.....

Nasubukan nyo na bang ma-delay ang flight ng 8 hrs? That happened to me with PAL! I was still working in Bahrain before (1996). Pabalik na ako ng Bahrain, from my vacation (via Dubai). From Dubai, connecting flight ako via Gulf Air na. Yung plane na sasakayan sana namin, never arrived (from Dubai). Na-cancel yung Dubai-Manila flight. Kaya wala kaming masasakyan. Nu'ng una, delayed lang daw ng 2 hrs. Then another announcement na another 2 hrs. Marami na nagreklamo.

Then eto na, since wala ngang plane na available, in-announce ng PAL, na yung plane na galing Sydney yun pa pinahintay sa amin. Yung flight naming hapon, gabi na ang alis. Yung mga passengers, sa NAIA waiting lounge lang. Di man lang kami pinag-hotel. Ang meryenda, napakasarap! Nakikita ko lang ito sa mga lamayan.........yung "walang kamatayang" egg sandwich at yung patok na Sunny Orange drink!

Eventually, ipina-cancel ko rin yung flight ko, since di ko na mahahabol yung connecting flight ko sa Dubai.

Nung sa Singapore pa ako, kahit yung mga PAL flights pa-Singapore, nadi-delay din. Kaya laging SQ lagi ako, kahit mas mahal. Dito sa Saudi, wala na ang PAL. Mahina daw kasi ang kita sa rutang ito. Eh, pa'no, masagwa ang serbisyo. Kaya mga OFWs, mas preferred yung Saudia, Cathay at Emirates.

Noong na-assign ako sa Seoul, Korea for 6 months (in & out ng Korea), Singapore - Seoul ang ruta, final dest. is Incheon Int'l. Airport. I once tried KAL (Korean Air Lines). Pagpasok mo pa lang, mapapansin mo na yung distinct na Korean aroma.........amoy KIMCHI yung cabin.

After that, puro SQ na ako.

cebu pacific is always late too. kaya pinalitan nila ang slogan na "Filipino time is cebu pacific time". grabe mag maximize ng plane ang 5J sobrang bilis ang turn around plane kaya delayed sa mga bandang hapon na flights. pero magaling kumita dahil new planes. when some airlines are sleeping at night 5J flies to regional flights naman. gokongwei talaga!

[yuichi]

i usually prefer Tiger Airways coz its cheap(depende sa season) at malapit sa amin. pero alang tatalo yata sa mga Chinese Airlines, dadanda ng mga attendants.:cheekkiss:

[mamichula]

KLM

[Zeus]

Emirates ganda ang plane, Thai airways ganda ang service, Air asia magaganda ang stewardess

[pup2]

Paano maco compare ang itsura ng mga FA ng mga airlines? May pics ba kayo? hehehe.

[Mguy]

i'd like to patronize our own flag carrier as much as possible, but their customer service is mediocre at best and the flight attendants are prejudice towards their own people while they are very accommodating to white travelers...

True. .. . I remember when they were serving food ahead of my row, the stewardess was smiling when asking the passengers "Chicken or Fish?". When she came up to my row, she said with a frowning face "Manok o Isda?" and just dropped the tray on my table.

[artpogi]

^^ a somewhat similar experience with PAL.

a few years back, while I was on my way back to middle east, may isang pasahero sa right side ko na first time yata maka-sakay ng eroplano, and I overheard his companion trying to calm him down, kasi parang nine-nerbyos masyado.

So to calm down the nervous guy, his companion asked for a glass of water. Naka ilang hingi din sila ng tubig kasi talagang natatakot dahil nga first time on a plane.

I think the stewardess got pissed or annoyed sa kahihingi ng tubig, sabi ba naman "ano ba naman yan, tubig na naman" sabay dabog.

Naawa ako dun sa pasahero, namutla sa hiya.

tsk tsk tsk

That is disturbing. If I or my family ever got treated that way, I will have no hesitation whatsoever embarrassing her in front of everybody. She has a job to do and she better do it right lest she wants to get herself fired.

My 2 cents.

I have to admit, the prettiest stewardesses I've seen were on the one China Airlines I took from Manila to San Francisco. We stopped over at Taipei. The old crew got off and new fresh female attendants embarked. It's like a fresh breeze. That was a while back, though. I do remember it because the aircraft was one of those shortened 747's and I flew business class in it.

Ako nasubukan ko na madelay ang flight ko up to the next day, taking PAL coming back to singapore Pero saludo pa din ako dahil the way they fly the plane the way they land and take off the best pa din ang PAL pero ung nga lang eh dalas delayed ang flight

Yes Julie Dizon used to work with PGA sa sales with Arnold Matic sa parts and Jonas Silva sa service. Glory days of PGA.
Bakit nga ang sama ng service ng PAL d na siguro sumasakay si lucio sa economy class like he used to even if he owned it.
In fairness magaling naman ang PAL pilots as FedEX said.

sad sad sad...nakakainis talaga ang pal flight attendants...di naman lahat.....
