My dad was a captain for PAL and My Mom was a senior Flight Purser for PAL as well. I grew up travelling the world using PAL and this makes me really proud. Thank you for this video
The Philippines islands is the real heaven on Earth. So I am not surprised you found their airlines heavenly.
So philippine airline was the first and longest operating airlines in asia and founded in 1941...WOW
JACK COOL FACT👌🏻
So...
2019
-
1941
---
0078
And one more fact
Philippine Airlines was made before the Japanese invaded the Philippines 🇵🇭
gamer Jahiana If I’m right it was PAL but was called Philippine Aerial Taxi.
And owned my a succesful chinese filipino bussinessman...
There's more fact about Philippine Airlines, it was founded by the Philippine Congress as the Philippine Aerial Taxi in 1935 before Andres Soriano Sr. (Founder of San Muigel Corp.) founded Philippine Airlines and then Philippine Aerial Taxi merged with them. In 1941 and they operate DC3 until the WW2 has begun and use DC3 to evacuate American Pilots to Australia and in 1946 Philippine Airlines back to operation and also Philippine Airline leased 1 aircraft to Japan that led to founding Japan Airlines. During the 60s Philippine Airlines was bought by Philippine Government during Marcos regime from San Miguel Corp and became state-owned and that help the Airline to expand more route. After the Marcos regime, Philippine Airlines is still state owned until in 1995 when Lucio Tan (Founder and chairman of LT Group.) bought the majority of the share of the Philippine Airline that led to re-privatization of the Airline and make another expansion until the Asian Financial Crisis that led to laid-off Pilots and that led them to protest and against the airline and it's parent company: LT Group. Skip to 2012 where San Miguel Corp is taking a 49% Majority of the Airline until it was taken over by the LT Group in 2014. 2014-Present Philippine became 4 star airline under LT Group and in 2019 ANA (All Nippon Airways) take 9.5% stake of the Airlines as an expansion of the ANA to the southeast Asia and also expansion of Philippine Airlines route under ANA...
I took a lot of research of the about the Philippine Airlines and I was so amazed to the history of that Airline.
#Philippines *people are so nice*
😍 *love n respect from* #India
Thankyou😊😊
JACK COOL 💓

thanks im filipino
@@daddyjee5509 HAHAHAHAHAHA ang dumi talaga ng utak ko.
Philippine Airlines is aiming for a Five - Star Class ranking, as it now ranks as Four - Star. It's positive experience comments like yours that shall help make the airline's aim come into fruition.
Please... skytrax is a scam. It's corrupt.
Well PAL crew are nice to Josh cus he is a foreigner and a youtuber but if you are a just a regular filipino, that is a different story.
Oh really? Im regular filipino and im always treated well, how bout you?
@@koivelasquez5703 filipino. Im treated well :)
@@markv1974 Don't mind him, clearly never flew business class or even just economy class in Philippine Airlines.
Thanks for the nice review. I was a PAL flight steward several years ago and I can attest to the strict and rigorous training we had to finish that focused on passenger safety and top notch customer service.
My experience in Philippine Airlines is extra ordinary. Nice crew. And very friendly people....the people are very positive and not entitled..
@@maricost1029 you're welcome ☺
Filipina air hostesses take care of her passengers with motherly affection and love. So beautiful to see it💗. Love and respect from Dhaka, Bangladesh...
our airline must give u some discounts or miles points for this beautiful review.. heheh..
@@MayaButterflyJourney thank you dear for supplying this valuable informations...
@@MayaButterflyJourney honesty is now paid? wow
@@goodeg8715 it's called just a complimentary gesture
That's hilarious. PAL sucks. They're only nice to white foreigners. They treat fellow Filipinos like dirt. The PAL Terminal at NAIA airport is embarrassing.
Finally after 20 years, PAL has gotten back on her throne having been left for dead in the 1998 Financial Crisis.
@Ganda Gandara well we can't have them all. Arrivals before were almost always late.
@Ganda Gandara yeah thanks to marcos leaving no money for the philippine government. We even asked the US congress to give us leeway in our debt because of the transfer of money to swiss acounts which the marcos claims isnt theirs.
Another nice review! It's amazing that they offer free wifi to all passengers, since not many airlines do that. :)
It's not free in economy for the record
Former ojt of the pal its only available for business class
It is free in Economy but for 20MB only. I was only able to send 1 shoutout in FB lol
@@wildurfra Download FB & Messenger light when traveling.
Kai-Zer Inc. cheers for the tip!
Well, it isnt the best airline in the world... But, it is a growing airline! There are chances it might go on top 10 few years later.
Yuh Donutz sooner than that do not underestimate them
Oh PAL is dead serious to get to the top. It's such a sentimental goal as they almost folded up due to the Asian financial crisis coupled with lingering labour issues
If you are Filipino don't fly with PAL I'm a Filipino but we had a bad of PAL. No way paying expensive and you get the service we are expecting.
Dont listen to the crab mentality minded person above me. It’s Filipinos like this clown who put down this Airline. I’ve flown other airlines as well, and I, a Filipino as well have a strong pride for Philippine Airlines. One of the best indeed. The only downside I get with this airline is having to deal with their arrogant and entitled local passengers, not all but a lot of them a present in their flights.
ps... the salt and pepper is by request ;)
@@roniealipio6913 i guess its bc ur attitude dude
Been waiting for this since your Instagram stories!
I agree, both Cebu Pacific and Philippines Airline are very professional.
Rumcajs 9 Cebu Pacific professional really ? They have Just cancelled 116 Domestic flights , very unprofessional
Rumcajs 9 Cebu Pacific are going down the Pan fast they have Just cancelled 116 Domestic flights
PAL, I agree. Cebu Pac? For real???
You guys are comparing low cost airlines vs luxury airlines. Its like comparing your cheap economical cars vs the luxury cars.
If you look into their stocks, ceb is actually going up and profit per year, they have been more profitable than PAL. I love both airlines... I love them both equally.
It’s a shame you guys have a crab mentality.
Little history about PAL
In WW2, they had to use one if their aircraft to transport wounded soldiers... then later after the War... i think... they donated a DC-3 to an upcoming airline back then... and so was born Japan Airlines... if not for PAL.. JAL would never exist... making JAL the second asian airline... then businessmen from all over asia saw the airlines develop, so was born every other Asian carriers we know today... now back to PAL... during the demo flight for the marvelous Concorde in the early 70s... they offered it to PAL... the Pres. Almost agreed but fuel economy... is high af.. the other Concorde orders well... got cancelled cause of fuel too.. Air France was then the only one... then BA got the plane for free... back to PAL, so PAL grew on to become the airline we know today, the first asian airline, the father of JAL... now chasing their 5th star... that concludes this little story
During ww2 Philippines wasn't under American rule?
new updates the NCoV virus
pal also is the airline that flies into china to philippines to take stranded people
Dapat binago at ginawang Aquino Airlines
jal is the child that becomes more successful than their own dad.
Every James Bond movie? Okay Philippine airlines is my new favourite airline, Qatar and Emirates can piss off
Philippine Airlines can learn a lot from emirates about the ife-setting/content.
emirates has every tom cruise movie which james bond is not a fraction of how good they are.
@@abdullaebrahim4796 The guy just likes james bond movies
that doesnt mean tom cruise movies should be proven better
You forgot to review the inflight KARAOKE bar.:)
Angelo 23 Hahahah! Truly Filipino.
Nah, im filipino, but that would be too noisy. I love karaoeke and all, but not when im tired and exausted in a plane
I would consider taking this product out of Brisbane to Asia or Europe in the future! Thanks for the in-depth review as always 🎦😊👍
The food looks amazing, in general a pretty decent airline!
It’s a wonderful airline!
but he never eats the vegetables / salads wkwk, i wonder if it hurts when the p..p is coming out 😆
Hi Josh. Just saw your video a while ago about your experience in Malaysian Airlines and that was really apalling 😢😣😤 So I also wondered if how your experience would be if you fly with our country's flag carrier, and it feels fantastic to see you enjoying your flight and receiving a part of the Filipino hospitality. ❤❤❤ PAL might not be the best airline in the world but flying with it is one of the ways for all to experience how excellent and warm Filipino service and hospitality is. Mabuhay! #PALYourHomeInTheSky
It's the hospitality/excellent service of the cabin crews makes the Philippine Airlines one of the best airlines. Truly, your home in the sky! 😍 🇵🇭
Hospitality only if you're white.
@@knucklehoagies good thing that you are whote jay p... i mean, filipino standards hehe
Thanks for another great Review Josh and loved how Philippine Airlines improved so much in the past 10 to 15 years and also making the right long term investments for a Bright and Prosperous Future ahead.
Great review. I’ve flown with them on and off for about 20 years now and I’ve noticed these past couple of years that they’ve up their game. From what I’ve read they retrained their staff to provide better service. And the new planes they’ve acquired shows they’re also investing in their hard products
PAL captains have one of the smoothest landing ive ever had... There was even a time i didnt know we already landed until i heard the sudden gush of wind when plane touched on runway... 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Josh! Yeah, I'm impressed with them, too. Their standards have really gone up in recent years with brand new aircraft added to their fleet, improved training, and a more careful selection of their cabin crews. I heard Philippine Airlines will even have its own exclusive airport in Manila and get this ... it will have 6 parallel runways! If they keep going at this pace, they will certainly give regional competitors like SQ, CX, BR, CI, NH, JL, etc. a real run for their money. I heard PR is actually the first airline in Asia! Great vlog. Thanks, mate!
Thank you for commending beautiful review on our First Class Airline here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 kudos to you
I had no idea NEO stood for new engine option
The Rising Star in Aviation🌟🌟🌟🌟🤩
new routes,new planes,new image.best of luck for 2019.
next, "most improved airline" by skytrax.
del monte they are indeed wow
Nice Video love it thank you for sharing your experience i always choose PAL to fly for my holiday
I love flying with Philippine Airlines. They do everything to become 5-Star-Airline and they are on a good way ... Hope that they will increase their route network, I am waiting for BERLIN-MANILA connection... 😀
Also Johannesburg, South Africa. No flight to Zimbabwe because of 0% of Filipino nationals.
I love the a320 series with proper Configs! Good job PAL!
I like how you look at economy as well as business class! Very thorough! 👌🏿
hospitality service plays a major contributing factors here second in line are the amenities accomodation and of course security and safety
Philippine Airlines is really nice. 👍🏼
the free wifi is a plus for me
I’ve flown on PAL on several occasions and it’s features have definitely upgraded over the years! The Business Class experience is amazing! I brought my son home years ago and the staff were so accommodating and helpful with caring for my baby. I can’t wait to fly with PAL again! ✈️
screw PAL they aRE THIEVES CORRUPT SO IS asap
I really want to fly philippine airlines after watching this
Yeaah youre home in the sky...
Thanks for the good reviews...yeah we had a great smile on every Filipinos.
Great vid. Do you have the LHR - MNL leg on their a350?
A great tripreport! Like this!
Amazing review!
I flew with their older A321 and non-reconfigured A330 it’s fine if the cabin is outdated but the crew were very friendly and professional. The excellent service made the flight great despite the shortcomings on its products
Your flight vids and content are the best! Very objective and unassuming unlike some of the popular flight vloggers.
Enough with the business class. Review where the majority sit. J is not affordable for most and the true test of an airline’s standard is how they treat economy passengers.
On the other hand PAL's business class is not as expensive as other airlines and these seats are also sold on sale sometimes.
froilandsteve Accepted...but that wasn’t my point. Thanks for acknowledging my comment however. Happy Christmas to you and yours.
PAL's crew are always polite and smiling. And they are well trained.
@Simon Williams they are building a bigger and brighter Mabuhay Lounge
Good point. Most of us fly economy. I flew PAL from YYZ-MNL-BKK, my first PAL flight. I was extremely impressed, the 350 was awesome. I will certainly fly PAL anytime
You have put out another great vlog Josh. It won't be that easy to have a decent steak meal especially on a ✈✈✈. You sure do make the majority of your flights that much more interesting🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much, always happy to see your comment!
Thanks for visiting the Philippines and flying on our flag carrier, Josh! ☺
great video...
thank you josh for the positive review of PAL...
It was an absolute positive experience:)
You killed it Josh, Great Review
Great video and review! Makes me want to book straight away. Cheers! x
Great video...as always. Hope you enjoyed your trip in sri lanka..
Philipine all handsome i love u philipine people
erie takahashi did you mean filipino? Cause the word “philipine” doesn’t exist.
@@gojo3954 you don't have to be rude ... pwede mo siyang i correct in a polite way
I really enjoy your airline reviews, thank you for the great content.
Finally! Thank you for sharing, awesome!
Hi, Does the free wifi mean Internet? I know it might sound like a stupid question but there are airlines who do have free wifi but only to access the IFE, no internet attached! Thanks!
I've only went on PAL twice which was on the 9th of October 2011 to Melbourne with a stop over in Sydney. I don't remember the plane since I was young then. But the second time was in September 2018. I can say that their economy has improved a lot more legroom and better service a monitor in front of each seat and the plane was Airbus A330. The other times I've went to Philippines was with Royal Brunei Airlines. The plane that I've been with RBA is 777 something and 787 dream liner.
Another brilliant review Josh
It's a bit stranger that a small aircraft was used for a long haul flight. Well, the seat and product is pretty good so I guess its OK.
Keep improving PAL!❤❤
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your flight with PAL. 💙🇵🇭
Love Philippine Airlines.. Philippines is still my favourite country 🎊✌
Good one. Finally in PAL.
Indeed you're in good hands flying with asia's first Philippines Airlines, truly the heart of the Filipinos. I have my very unforgetable experienced flying with PAL Boieng 777-300er, that was an amazing fligth...!
Thank you sir for PAL’s wonderful review😊😊 #TheHeartOfTheFilipino
Amazing video. You are the best Josh cahill
Thanks a lot, Sir Josh, for your very thorough review of our flag carrier and how you love and enjoy the service on PAL. True, Philippine Airlines may have experienced hard times back then, but the airline has been able to shine through by offering great, personalized service by its well-trained yet friendly cabin crew. Of course, PAL may not have the best food on board or the roomiest Business Class, but the way the all-Filipino cabin crew tend to their flyers will always be remembered: warm, always smiling yet dedicated and professional :-) and, before I end, allow me to relate this: even during the difficult times PAL encountered way back then, my flights--both domestic and international--always arrived on time. And do keep up your great reviews, Sir Josh!
I'm planning to visit Japan next year, from Bangkok and I tried to find business class with Philippines airlines, cause it's cost effectiveness. But it seems like they only operate a321 which doesn't have leg rest like the a321 neo. I was wondering if they stop operate a321 neo?
Great review, Josh! I hope you review the Business Class for the A350 as well soon. 💙
I did a review on their A350 in Premium Economy Class which will be out in January ✈️
@@JoshCahill Yup. Noticed that in your IG. Hope you fly business in their A350 sometime in the future too ☺
Hopefully you can try the a350 business class of PAL too. Great video too!!
Tnx for the review of our flag carrier airline. More trips to come. ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Josh, Interesting review. I watched it was today I booked a couple of Philippines flights from KL to Manila for April later this year. One of the flights is listed as an A320 but the other is A321. I think the seats are only a 120 degree recline by the look of it rather than a fully flat bed? What was the alcohol service like in the Manila Mabuhay lounge? What was the wine/champagnes served on flight? Did you get a pic of the business class menu on your flight? Also I noted you hold you fork and knife in the wrong hands (do many people comment about this lol).
philippines airlines is my favourite airline at the minute,im flying mel-man on xmas eve in business class on board there new A350 to watch out for that review.....the lounge though in manila is a hole and needs a major upgrade but asides from that i love philippines airlines and the people
Simon Williams who mentioned Manchester? Melbourne to Manila I’m flying
Simon Williams Phillipines only fly into Heathrow not Manchester
@@Thailandescapades You said MAN which is the airport code for Manchester, otherwise you'll say MNL (Manila) smh
Even though this review is 3 years old, it is the best l have come across in searching for information on Philippine airlines business class a321 neo, thanks a lot it has answered all my questions l have had.😊
I just wanna say ... happy holidays and Merry Christmas yaa ... 🎄☃️🎅♥️🎅☃️🎄
I'm new here subscriber well PAL is the best for me and food services so delicious.
Yeheyyyyyyy nag antay ako ng 2weeks
Look out Singapore Airlines!! Here come Philippine Airlines!!
Renzdick Dahilig more like look out Thai airways
TY VLOGS no more like,, look out every 5 star airliner
Rooting for Philippine Airlines to become a five star airline, but Singapore Airlines really is a cut above the rest.
Eat your greens Josh !!!!! Lol Great vlog as ever - looks a really good service!
I flew PR222 BNE-MNL last year in October in Business class. The flight was supposed to be a A321Neo but they sent a 777-300ER instead which was even better (RP-C7773).
The return flight was the A321Neo (RP-C9936) Wasn't as spacious being a narrow but for the type and for a 7 hour flight it didn't disappoint.
When leaving Australia, You get Qantas lounge access.
Filipinos are so Hospitality and Generous. Mabuhay welcome to Manila
Hi Josh, I enjoyed the review! For a short period of time worked in the PAL GSA ticket office in Melbourne, Australia. Philippine Airlines have come a long way from the very old A340 ex Iberian planes they use to have on the MNL to MEL VV routes. After flying Philippine airlines on the Neo do you think Philippines airlines are worthy of joining an Alliance? If so, which one do you think they should join to help connect that alliance to the amazing Philippines?
Great review Josh 👍 one to think of 🙂
Nice video mate, just a heads up though, from memory when I flew PR213 on the 321neo, the Inflight Wi-Fi was free for only 15MB or 15 mins, but then you need to pay for either an hour’s access or for access for the duration of the flight. Then again it may be free access for business class and only economy had a charge for the Wi-Fi. Still, it’s nice PAL is renewing the fleet
Glad to see you got a great experience after the horrible flight with Malaysia Air
Horrible? Explain please...
Zick Zack watch his video review
I Wish there is a Manila to Madrid Nonstop flight from Philippine Airlines.
Same with Frankfurt -> Manila 😊 But I'd heard they're planing more routes to Europe.
Possibly with the new A350!
It’s being considered
So many Filipinos living and working here and we need this nonstop flight to Manila.
They planned to make routes to Amsterdam,Houston,Chicago
I am happy that u like phillipine air lines and i hope you get more amazing flights. P.S. im fillipino
How can you be a filipino trump?!?!?
Wow ! I love Philippine airlines.the flag carrier of my beloved country...
Hey josh,
I like travelling a lot. But I don’t travel very frequently, still when I watch your videos, I feel like I’m also travelling with you. So a very big thanks to you for giving me such a special feeling
And I also have a tiny request for you, please try including the price of the flight in your next videos
Love from Bangladesh
how come the a321 was operated for a intercontinental route instead of flying with a wide body aircraft?
Thanks for liking our flag carrier ..looking forward for more great videos
Woah nice - I love the Philippines 😊
The Filipinos love you too daniel! Hope you come and visit us soon. :) love you!
I love how this guy is flying back to Philippines just to fly Philippine airlines
Love from Philippines ❤️
Love your videos 😍
Flew An A321neo in economy Sydney Manila. I was comfortable, it’s an incredibly quiet aircraft with those new engines.
Is this the same product they use on Brisbane - Manila route?
Seatguru doesnt think so :(
Thank you for your beautiful review of our humbly airline. ❤️❤️❤️
I just wanna ask Josh, why did you go to the Philippines? vacation?
Great video Josh. The fact you were so happy with a321neo bodes well for airlines like Aer Lingus who are planning to use them transatlantic to some US destinations. Philippine airlines looks great! Philippino people are great host's too.
sean doherty I thought aer Lingus will be flying as well to Philippines! Still a long way to go I guess. ☹️
Having family in the Philippines my wife and I travel there every year. I have never flown Philippine Airlines but knowing the Philippine people I am not surprised about the crew. It is good to hear your positive views of the other product elements.
Excellent video Josh..you re such a sweet guy..And you just made all of us who detest flying long-haul in a narrowbody, feel a little bit more reassured about the prospect of this happening..But then again not all airlines are PAL..Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
Very nice review, liked!
Wow ,PAL hope you experience the Filipino hospitality...
