Philippine Airlines Promo

Philippine Airlines, also known as PAL, is the Philippines' leading full-service airline.

Although not a budget airline, PAL should still be on your list of places to check for cheap flights.

Affordable fares are often easy to book. Sometimes, prices are even cheaper than budget airlines like Cebu Pacific & AirAsia.

Book cheap PAL flights during promo periods

The cheapest Philippine Airlines flights are sold during promo periods and seat sales.

Popular promos include their "PALmazing weekend sale," "50% off" and "75% off" promo. The best ones are usually announced during a major holiday like Philippine Independence Day, PAL Anniversary Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, etc.

This airline does not announce promos as frequently as budget airlines. When they do, however, these discounts are worth considering because of the airline's full-service quality.

They are also the best choice for routes not flown by other airlines. For example, international flights to destinations in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand & London.

Flying with Philippine Airlines

Philippine Airlines is the only full-service major airline in the Philippines

Philippine Airlines (PAL) is a flag carrier and one of the Philippines' major airlines. As a full-service airline, PAL stands out from other major airlines in the Philippines, namely Cebu Pacific and AirAsia Philippines, which are both budget airlines.

Additionally, the airline serves flights to more than 58 international destinations including major regional cities in Asia and Oceania, and long-haul flights to North America and Europe.

PAL's flight hubs include Manila-Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Cebu-Mactan International Airport. It also serves direct international flights from Kalibo International Airport and direct domestic flights from Iloilo International Airport.

Before you book

Read promo details & conditions carefully — Promo fares are only available under conditions posted on the announcement. Be mindful of these important details:

Check availability and book online — If a promo may be booked online, the best way to check if they are available is to do a flight search directly on Philippine Airlines' official website or mobile app. The process of booking promo flights should be the same as booking regular flights. Make sure to read special conditions on the announcement to confirm this.

Book directly with the airline — Depending on the conditions posted on the announcement, tickets may only be reserved online through PAL's official booking channels. Including their official website, mobile app, call center, or at ticketing outlets.

Keep in mind that third-party travel agencies, even if they are affiliated with or accredited by Philippine Airlines, might not have access to all promo fares. These agencies would likely tell you that they cannot find the discounted fares in their system, and offer regular fares instead.

Promos are offered on a limited basis — Before calling them “FAKE,” you should know that limited promo seats are available for any given flight route. If all promo seats are sold out on your chosen flight, you will only be able to view and book the next lowest regular fare.

Get ahead of other bookers by booking your flights as soon as possible. The airline also limits promo seats on certain dates and rarely offer them on "black-out dates," which may include peak periods such as holidays, festival dates, and other busy dates for air travelers.

In case you cannot find the promo prices advertised on the announcement, follow these tips to confirm whether a promo is available or not:

Promos may be booked without a credit card — PAL also accepts payment using selected ATM cards and over-the-counter, at authorized payment centers.

All-in fares & base fares

Philippine Airlines may advertise prices as "all-in" fares or "base fares" on their sale announcement.

An "all-in" fare is the lowest price charged upon checkout. This price includes the airline's base fare, fuel surcharge, booking fees, airport fees, and government taxes. It does not include optional add-ons like check-in baggage, meals, travel insurance, seat selection and may not include fees and taxes charged on departure from certain airports.

On the other hand, if a price is advertised as a "base fare", expect these additional fees added on top of the advertised base fare price: fuel surcharge, booking fees & mandatory airport/government taxes.

Also, both "all-in" and base fares may not include fees collected at the airport (during the pre-departure process). An example of this is the Philippine airport terminal fee and/or travel tax.

Where to find promo codes & coupons?

Promo and coupon codes should be included in the announcement along with other important details.
