Philippine Airlines' Business Class is a tale of two products: a genuinely competitive lie-flat experience on its Airbus A350-900s to Los Angeles, New York, London, and Sydney, and a far more modest recliner seat on regional A321s across Asia. On the flagship A350, the 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout with direct aisle access and generous personal space makes it a solid long-haul choice, especially for Filipino diaspora routes where PAL has home-turf advantages in scheduling and cultural service touches. It won't out-hardware Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines, but it's priced accordingly and delivers reliable comfort for the Manila-US and Manila-Europe corridors. As an unaligned carrier, mileage-earning flexibility is limited, so this is best booked for the specific route and fare rather than loyalty accumulation.
Why Fly Philippine Airlines to Manila
- Genuine lie-flat seats with direct aisle access on the A350-900, used on key long-haul US and UK routes
- Mabuhay Lounge access at Manila's NAIA offers a comfortable pre-flight experience with Filipino food options
- Strong cultural hospitality and consistently warm cabin crew service
- Unique nonstop routes from Manila to cities like Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and London not always matched by alliance carriers
Dining & Service
Onboard the A350-900, travelers get a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone configuration with fully lie-flat seats, direct aisle access from every seat, and individual storage plus a personal touchscreen entertainment system stocked with a mix of Hollywood, Filipino, and international content. Dining draws on Filipino culinary heritage alongside international courses, with multi-course service and a curated wine selection, though PAL has not publicized a celebrity chef collaboration in the way some rivals have. Amenity kits with basic skincare and comfort items are provided on long-haul flights, along with noise-cancelling headsets and bedding for overnight sectors. On regional A321 and A330 flights within Asia, the experience is scaled down considerably — expect wide recliner or angled-flat seating, shorter meal service, and seatback entertainment, but no true flat bed on the narrowbody fleet. Cabin crew are frequently praised for warmth and attentiveness, a hallmark of PAL's service culture across both regional and long-haul flights.
Lounge Access
