PAL flies its A350-1000 daily between Manila and San Francisco for the holiday season
Philippine Airlines has put its newest and largest aircraft on the San Francisco route ahead of the year-end travel rush, according to Mindanao Times.
Philippine Airlines (PAL) is operating its flagship Airbus A350-1000 every day on its Manila–San Francisco route as the busiest travel season of the year approaches, Mindanao Times reported, citing the airline.
The airline describes San Francisco as one of its most important North American gateways and a key link to the large Filipino-American community on the US West Coast. Passengers flying from San Francisco can connect through Manila to other destinations in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific region, according to PAL.
The A350-1000 carries 42 Business Class suites in a 1-2-1 layout, 24 Premium Economy seats and 316 Economy seats. All cabins have 4K inflight entertainment screens, inflight Wi-Fi, in-seat power, and USB-A and USB-C charging ports. PAL said the aircraft also offers better fuel efficiency and more cargo capacity than older planes.
The service runs as flight PR 104 from Manila, departing daily at 11:15 p.m., and PR 105 from San Francisco. Bookings can be made through the PAL website and mobile app, PAL ticket offices and accredited travel agents. The schedule published with the announcement listed two different sets of arrival times without saying when each applies, so travellers should confirm exact times when booking.
Why it matters for Davao
Davao-based families expecting relatives from the US West Coast for the holidays may see more seat options on this route, with onward connections available through Manila, according to the airline.
