I booked a business class flight with these guys and needed to modify the booking. It has been a nightmare and still not resolved. Everything about this airline is bad. The app, the website, and worse of all is their customer service. I will never fly with them again no matter how cheap the tickets.

Would give negative stars if possible. My flight was canceled today and the staff at the airport were completely unhelpful at providing any information. They rushed us out of the airport and onto a bus after forcing us to surrender our passports. They brought us to a hotel and told us to wait for information about the changed booking of our flight and never even came or contacted the hotel. The hotel they put us in is an hour outside of Bangkok in a sketchy neighborhood with zero amenities. Not even a ATM. The only flight offered was TWO DAYS from the original flight and we are essentially being held hostage at this budget motel without our passports that we cannot collect until our flight departure. No one from the airlines reached out to anyone and I took it upon myself to reach out them. They could not provide me with any instruction or direction to be able to retrieve my passport or remedy the situation at all. I have never encountered such blatant disregard, and lack of customer service on any airline I have ever traveled. Avoid at all costs.

If I could give negative 10 stars i would. Extremely disappointed with Philippine Airlines' customer service. I was issued a compensation e-gift card that I couldn't use due to currency restrictions. After months of back-and-forth, multiple ignored emails, and countless follow-ups, I was promised a refund—but they still haven't processed it. Their lack of accountability and responsiveness is shocking. I expected better from a national carrier. Would not recommend this airline at all.

Svar från Philippine Airlines
The customer service that I received during my flight to the Philippines as well as my returning from the Philippines were both outstanding!
The flight attendants were friendly and attentive and
the pilot and the cockpit crew did an amazing job of flying the plane.
in addition, I was somewhat concerned about the length of the flight; however, the attendants and the cockpit crew made my experience on both flights enjoyable.

Svar från Philippine Airlines
Basically only use Philippines airlines as I have had so much trouble with Cebu pacific
Only had good experiences with them and I recommend them

I am a frequent flyer, and book multiple trips for each coming year. I have had the privilege of flying with 25 different airlines.
Recently I booked 6 holidays for 2025, with 3 international flights with Philippine Airlines. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with cancer and was unable to fly due to chemotherapy.
Philippine Airlines customer care was impossible to deal with, which was surprising as the airline is a legacy national carrier. To access the most basic online chat, all my passport details needed to be provided, which I felt was unnecessary and inappropriate. The customer care email provided on the website is not the correct one to get a response.
When I finally managed to make contact with an agent to request a refund on compassionate grounds, every possible hurdle was placed in my path. The most bizarre was having a hospital medical report from my hometown of Perth instead of one issued from Bangkok, the departing airport.
I eventually realised that I was going to lose a considerable sum of money and put it down to experience.

I was moved to a different seat after paying for a good seat. the pane smelled musty, there was no in-flight entertainment and my suitcase was destroyed. they offered me pennies for the suitcase as compensation.
worst airline I have ever flown with

Svar från Philippine Airlines
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! absolutely shocking. DO NOT USE THIS AIRLINE!!! They have cancelled our flight with no authorisation with only a few days to spare and have now left us out of pocket!! When trying to speak to somebody on live chat they can not even help us and there are no other ways to contact that them. They have completely ruined our holiday due to the stress they have caused us. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! (I guess this is what you get for going cheap even though our flight for 2 people cost nearly £1000)

Svar från Philippine Airlines
Book any other airline. Worst airlines in the world. They will cancel your connecting flights, no refunds and charge 20X the price of your flight as a "penalty". Such a scam and shame that they need to scam you into trying to rebook their flight they canceled. Will be seeking legal counsel on what to do next

Svar från Philippine Airlines
I am forced to give a one-star. If there was another option, this would have been a NEGATIVE STAR.
Changed planes several times; my payment for preferred seats were disregarded. We were assigned seats to Timbuktu. Lucky, we were not assigned the comfort room. AWFUL AIRLINE!!!! No disregard for the customer!!!!

I recently flew with Philippine Airlines and was extremely disappointed by the lack of clear communication regarding baggage allowances. I was not informed that my flight had a zero luggage allowance, only to later discover that I would be charged per kilogram—a cost that ultimately exceeded the price of the ticket itself.
What made this situation even more frustrating was that on another segment of my journey (from Cebu to my destination), I was allowed a 10-kilogram baggage allowance. This inconsistency left me feeling misled and inconvenienced.
Clear, upfront information about baggage policies is crucial for a smooth travel experience. I believe Philippine Airlines should take immediate steps to improve transparency and ensure that all passengers are fully aware of any additional costs before booking. I hope my experience prompts a review of these policies so that future travelers can avoid similar frustrations.
Sincerely,

I flew Sydney to Manila in business class. It was with Wamos Air. They were doing a wet hire agreement, and providing the service for Phillipines Airlines. Wamos is a Spanish airline. A sick passenger was brought onto the plane just before take off. During the flight, two family members from the economy section stood in the aisle for the majority of the flight, bumping against me. I raised this with the attendants, they said they would ask them to move but didn’t. The worst part was when the family decided to change the sick ladies nappy, as she could not go to the bathroom. They did not cover her and exposed her from the waste down. At this time I pressed the bell for the attendant. They came down and did nothing. So apparently in Phillipines Business class you now get to watch a sick person have their nappy changed? Terrible experience. I looked at the PA approval for a sick passenger to fly, and it clearly asks if their travel will upset, disrupt, disturb others. I have no idea why Wamos or Phillipines airlines would have allowed her on the flight. It was clear she could not go to the bathroom. And, I nearly forgot, apparently cold food is appropriate to be served in business class…. Terrible flight! I emailed them and got a simple apology…. But I’m really not sure what more they could do, the damage was done!

With Wamos Air replacing Philippine Airlines from SYD-MNL to MNL-SYD and originally having premium economy they had 2 of us upgraded into Business class and the other 2 passengers were in Economy. It took such a long time to get the money which was originally meant to be given at the gate before boarding but wasn't actually given until we arrived in Manila with 1 ground staff waiting for us to guide us through arrivals.
Flying from MNL-HND to HND-MNL was a great flight but only having one toliet in Economy which was at the very back of the plane. We would be at the back of the plane for very long time and made it hard for staff to work at the back as there was so many people waiting to go to the bathroom.
From MNL-SYD, the bag weighed 33kg and made us move 1kg into another bag. It was so chaotic as we had to get the bags checked for drugs as per Australian regulations and checked again for weight. It would be nice to know that the maximum for the bags is 32kg

Every time I try to book an "award" ticket on PAL they come up with some reason why I can't use miles on a specific flight. First off, their website is horrible to use and find info. Once you have wasted your time trying to navigate that nightmare, they inform you that you have to call AND complete a form??? WTF??? So, I bit the bullet and called only to have their CS person inform me that of the 35 business class seats available on the 777ER, only 4 of them are allocated for MM awards and there are NONE available (this is 3 months in advance of the flight). WHAT A TOTAL SCAM. So, after years of travel on PAL to accrue miles for award travel, the miles are unusable. Avoid this airline at all costs. They dupe you with lower priced business class tickets but their business class is really not good at all (old planes and worn-out seats) and the supposed benefit of accruing mileage turns out to be worthless. I'm done with PAL.

I’ve flown with pal many times but recently flew with philippine airlines again during jan 2025. In economy class, it was terrible. Check in was a mess and took around 1.5hours bec despite online check in, you still had to line up in the same line as those who havent, so it was pointless. Personnel also said different things so it was confusing. There was no inflight entertainment.. there was but you have to use your phone and it just kept loading so basically none. Some seats had tvs. Overall not a good experience.
A few days after, i flew business class. Check in was faster. Lounge was new but not great. Plane was small. Didnt have inflight entertainment but again on phone. I asked about it then they offered an ipad.. but flight attendant forgot. Had to ask twice for it. I also asked for water with the assigned attendant and it was also forgotten. I was already in business class and service was still not good. We were only 12 in that cabin.
Overall i wouldnt recommend this plane. I take it just bec of the flight time.

2025 and still worst customer care. Cares only for profit at the expense of customers. Or probably it's just me and my family who are the unfortunate victims of PAL. We had previous unfavorable incident with PAL 2 years ago which was never resolved and we wasted a lot of money & tears. We tried to give PAL another go this year but guess that was a major foolish decision on our part. Slap on our face like telling us "you never learned your lesson."
My husband's flight from manila to seattle was supposed to be at 10:35pm last January 5th. He was at the airport more than 3hrs before the flight for check-in (and this was booked already way ahead of time, he was not a chance passenger). When he arrived at the counter, he was told to wait. He waited until 10:35pm! Meaning he missed his flight. Why? Because according to their manager it is their right to bump out passengers during peak season coz the LAW allowed PAL to book more than 10% of its capacity. Tbh, I don't get how this is beneficial to passengers. My husband plus few others were the unfortunate ones who got bumped out without their consent. And sadly, (unless probably you are a prominent person or relative of the airline owner) there's nothing u can do but rant and vent your frustration and anger. My husband was desperate to get into that flight coz he has work next day. Given the situation, he has no choice but to be absent. To add insult to injury or confusion & frustration, the PAL manager was without remorse when talking to them. Insisting that it's the law! He was telling my husband he understood his situation and kept insisting that he go back and read the RULES rather than listening to their concerns. The people were agitated already which was a normal reaction at that time, but rather than pacifying he as a manager was being defensive & unapologetic.
On the other hand, the people in PAL office who helped rebooking (coz my husband really had no choice) were genuinely nice, patient, understanding & sympathetic of the situation of the passengers. But then again, i know this review won't matter coz seems like PAL is used to these complaints. But for customers planning to fly PAL, please spare yourself unnecessary heartache, hassle, stress & financial loss. To those who always had pleasant experience with PAL, good for you. But for me & my family, it's a battle we will never win and the only thing we can do is share our experience for awareness and NEVER FLY PAL AGAIN....

I booked with Philippine Air because, as the national airlines operator, i believed they would have superior customer service to other local operators. Their website boasts of their Customer Service Care. Unfortunately, this isn't the reality. Schedules change and i accept this. Unfortunately, Philippine Air doesn't inform passengers when there is a scheduled change. So you make your travel plans believing you are in safe hands, when in reality they don't care about their customers. Maybe it will be better when i actually manage to fly with them? They have offered alternative flights but they fail to understand what they have offered doesn't work with the other flights and hotels booked. I will now suffer financially and suffer a shorter holiday all because they don't communicate schedule changes to paid flights. They make me incur extra costs this time but i won't fly with them again. "Failure to perform service including schedule changes" is in the Notice of Incorporated Terms.

They charged us for business class, then changed the plane and said the new plane does not have business class for the first trip, they compensated us (I did give them one star); however, for the return flight, they cancelled our flight, lied about the reason, changed the plane (no business class), and refused to compensate us. They blamed the cancellation and plane change on the eruption; however, every other airline in the airport flew out on time to the same destination all around the same time.
This airline lies and cheats. I would not recommend and I will never fly this airline again. I would pay double to fly on a different airline.
It's a shame because this is supposed to be the flagship of the Philippines; with this type of behavior from the airline that bears the namesake as the beautiful county, it will only destroy the reputation of the Philippines.

Unmöglich!
Als westlicher Tourist wirst wird man behandelt wie Vieh. Beim check in werden locals bevorzugt. Ebenso bei der platzvergabe im Flugzeug. Hier werden die nicht locals im Bereich der Flugzeugtoiletten regelrecht zusammengepfercht. Die guten Plätze werden an locals vergeben. Auf Nachfrage nach einem Sitzplatz mit mehr Beinfreiheit für einen 1,90m großen Europäer wird gesagt der Flieger sei voll, was sich als Lüge herausstellte. Würde sowas von einer europäischen Airline gemacht werden, würde man dieser Rassismus vorwerfen. Unser Flug ging übrigens von Manila nach Ho Chi Minh
