Philippine Airlines (PAL) Booking – Compare Fares Online

Philippine Airlines flight tickets and booking

Philippine Airlines, commonly called PAL, is the Philippines' flag carrier and a full-service network airline. Its airline code is PR. Use Traveloka to compare available PAL flights for your route and dates, then review the cabin, baggage allowance and ticket conditions attached to each option. A full-service airline can still sell different fare types with different restrictions and inclusions.

PAL serves domestic and international journeys from the Philippines, with Manila and Cebu among its hubs. The airline name on a search result and the operating carrier for a particular flight may differ, especially within the PAL group or on partner services. Read both when comparing itineraries. This page covers Philippine Airlines; Canadian PAL Airlines is a different airline despite the similar name.

Compare PAL flight schedules and ticket prices

For an accurate schedule-and-price comparison, enter your departure airport, destination, travel dates, passenger count and preferred cabin. Review each flight's departure time, arrival date, total duration and number of stops. When returning from a long-haul trip, an overnight journey or time-zone difference can change the calendar date on which you arrive.

Compare the final price using equivalent baggage and cabin requirements. If one result is a nonstop and another has a connection, look at the additional travel time before deciding from the fare alone. Published schedules provide planning information, but availability and prices belong to the actual search and booking. Keep your latest e-ticket and subsequent schedule notifications together so you are working from the confirmed itinerary.

Domestic journeys and PAL-group flights

For domestic travel, compare the origin airport as well as the airline name. PAL-group flights can be operated by Philippine Airlines or PAL Express, and the aircraft and airport arrangements can differ between sectors. A domestic journey through Manila is also different from a departure through Clark or Cebu. Read the exact airport names in the flight details before arranging pickup or a connecting trip.

Routes serving smaller airports may have different baggage constraints from trunk-city services. Do not carry an international allowance across to a separately purchased domestic ticket without checking that ticket's conditions. If your trip includes an onward island or provincial flight, compare the whole journey and confirm that both the baggage plan and transfer time work for each sector.

International routes and future launches

PAL's published network reaches destinations in Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East. Compare the specific route and travel date on Traveloka; a city named in a network announcement does not establish a flight for every day or every origin. An announced future launch should not be treated as an already operating service.

Before purchasing a connection, identify the airline operating each segment and whether the journey is sold as one itinerary. A partner flight can have different aircraft, seat products or service conditions. For entry and transit documents, use the requirements for your nationality and actual route. A ticket alone does not establish permission to enter a destination or pass through a connecting country.

PAL promo tickets and fare conditions

PAL promotions have stated booking dates, travel dates, eligible routes and seat availability. A past seat-sale announcement does not establish a fare you can buy today. Compare the available price for your trip and look at the return journey as well as the outbound offer. Review any applicable exclusions before organizing accommodation around a sale.

Within a cabin, fare brands can carry different baggage, mileage-earning, change and refund conditions. Economy Supersaver, Saver, Value and Flex are fare products rather than four different physical cabins. The name alone is not enough to determine the conditions for every domestic and international ticket. Read the fare rules displayed for your selected flight and decide how much flexibility your plans actually need.

PAL baggage: check the route and fare

Philippine Airlines defines free checked baggage by the allowance on the passenger's ticket. Some domestic Economy Supersaver fares have no free checked baggage. Other fares and international routes use different allowances, so a general claim that every PAL ticket includes a large suitcase is misleading. Read the weight or piece allowance before comparing the total trip cost.

PAL uses weight-based and piece-based systems depending on the route. Under a piece system, the number of bags and the permitted weight per bag both matter. On a journey involving a separately booked domestic flight, the international allowance does not automatically determine the domestic allowance. If you are bringing several suitcases or a balikbayan box, establish the rules for every ticket before leaving home.

Carry-on bags, extra baggage and equipment

PAL's published cabin allowance is one carry-on item up to 7 kg, with maximum dimensions of 56 × 36 × 23 cm, plus one permitted personal item. Plan valuables and essential documents around what you can keep in the cabin. Check the rules for your particular equipment instead of assuming that a standard carry-on allowance includes every bulky item.

Extra checked baggage can be purchased under PAL's prepaid-baggage arrangements where offered. The route and ticket determine what you can add; aircraft payload restrictions can affect acceptance. Compare the available prepaid option before traveling with excess weight. Sports equipment and oversized baggage may have separate treatment. Request confirmation for unusual items and keep the resulting approval or purchase details with your itinerary.

Manila terminals and airport transfers

PAL's international services at Manila use NAIA Terminal 1, while domestic services use Terminal 2; confirm the terminal on your latest itinerary because individual flight arrangements can change. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are separate buildings. A domestic-to-international connection may require a terminal transfer and additional procedures even when both flights carry PAL branding.

Clark International Airport is separate from NAIA and cannot be reached by an inter-terminal transfer. If your itinerary uses both airports, include a road journey and a substantial buffer. For any connection, consider baggage collection, document checks, terminal movement and check-in deadlines together. A short gap between scheduled arrival and departure is not the same as the amount of time available to complete those tasks.

Online check-in and airport preparation

PAL's online check-in opens 24 hours before departure. Follow the closing time and airport-reporting instructions shown for your flight, particularly for international document checks and checked baggage. An online boarding pass does not remove every counter requirement. The airline's airport check-in guidance should take precedence over a general arrival estimate.

Use the airline reservation reference and passenger name to retrieve the booking. If your Traveloka booking ID is not accepted by the airline's check-in system, find the airline reference on the e-ticket or request assistance. Carry the physical identification required for domestic travel and the relevant international documents for travel abroad. Allow time for security, immigration where applicable and reaching the boarding gate after check-in.

Economy, Premium Economy and Business

PAL offers different cabin products across its network, but the available cabins depend on the flight and aircraft. Premium Economy is not available on every service. Business Class seat layouts also vary; a Business ticket should not be assumed to guarantee the same fully flat seat found on a different aircraft.

Compare cabin details for the exact departure you are considering. Look at the seat layout, baggage, onboard services and fare flexibility together. A higher fare within Economy does not necessarily move you to Premium Economy, and a cabin upgrade does not answer every refund question. If a particular seat type is important for a long journey, use the listed aircraft and seat information when selecting the flight.

Meals, seats and traveling as a group

PAL's onboard services depend on cabin, aircraft and route. Review the service information attached to your flight rather than relying on a general description of the airline. Arrange any available special meal ahead of the applicable deadline. For a dietary or medical need, confirm the offered service directly instead of assuming that the standard menu will meet it.

For a family or group, check seat-selection availability and any charges before payment. If travelers are on separate bookings, keep each reservation accessible and do not assume seats will be grouped automatically. Families traveling with infants or passengers needing assistance should establish the airline's requirements early, since service approval and ordinary ticket purchase are separate steps.

Mabuhay Miles and alliance announcements

Mabuhay Miles is PAL's frequent-flyer program. Earning depends on the eligible fare and flight rather than the airline name alone. Enter the correct membership details where the booking supports them, and retain the e-ticket and boarding pass if you need to follow up on missing credit. Compare the fare's earning conditions before choosing a ticket solely for mileage.

PAL and oneworld announced a memorandum of understanding in June 2026 for PAL to join the alliance. An announced joining plan is not confirmation that all reciprocal alliance benefits are already available. Check the current program terms for the specific lounge, partner flight or redemption you want. Do not assume that a planned alliance benefit applies to an existing booking before the relevant implementation.

Rescheduling and refund requests

Change and refund conditions vary by fare, route and ticket. A permitted reschedule can require both a change fee and a fare difference; a refundable ticket can still have deductions. Review the conditions in your Traveloka booking before submitting a voluntary request. If your plans are uncertain, compare the flexibility offered before payment rather than relying on the general label 'full service'.

For an airline cancellation or schedule change, use the options offered for the affected booking. Keep the airline notice and original itinerary. In Traveloka, review the refund or reschedule information and ask support if the required option is unavailable. Follow the request status until the replacement ticket or refund outcome is confirmed. Processing time depends on the case and payment process, so a fixed refund deadline should not be assumed.

Book Philippine Airlines on Traveloka

Search your route and dates, choose the available PAL itinerary, and review the cabin, operating airline, baggage and ticket rules. Enter passenger names exactly as shown on the travel documents and check the contact information used for updates. Select only the add-ons you need and inspect the final payable amount before choosing an available payment method.

After payment, check that the booking is confirmed and the e-ticket has been issued. Save the Traveloka booking ID and airline reference for different support and check-in tasks. Before travel, review the latest schedule and terminal details, complete eligible airline check-in and arrange airport transport. Compare PAL tickets on the basis of the complete journey and its conditions, with the services that matter to your trip clearly identified.
