Seating were squished together and I could barely get in. I had a wound on my right butt cheek so it was difficult for me to sit down. I asked them if I could stand or sit on a seat where I can put all my weight into one cheek. They said no. I asked if I could lay sideways in business class, they said no. Following this they were giggling amongst the crew pointing at me and talking in their Filipino thinking I wouldn't understand. I didn't even get dinner even though it was an overnight flight due to not being in my seat at the time. Repeated told me they would send someone to help me with my concerns and to go sit down but it was all an excuse. Must be the worst experience I've ever had on a flight. On top of this the breakfast they gave out gave me the runs, the headphones sucked and staff was rude. Honestly have nothing good to say about this trip, even the toilets were disgusting.

This airline is absolutely terrible. I booked with them via booking.com and unfortunately had to cancel my flight because a family member had passed away. I got in touch with the airline, they told me it was fine and that they'd process my refund immediately if I submit certain documents. I went ahead and submitted the certificate of death as well as my certificate of birth to their support team.
Now, I have been stuck in limbo between PA's support who keep hanging up on me and are telling me it is booking's responsibility to provide the refund and booking.com telling me it is PA's responsibility to clear this case. It is impossible to get in touch with Philippine Airlines and their support is unhelpful on purpose.
We would like to extend our condolences, Colin. We understand how challenging this time might have been for you, and we are truly for the inconvenience on the delay in processing your refund. We want to assure you that it is not our intention to prolong your refund request, as this should have been an efficient experience for you.

I got scammed by Philippine airlines. They keep switching the hours of my flight few times and they finally figured out my flight arrival at 6:30am while my connection flight is at 6:00am. I got on the phone with costumer service which are bunch of baboons. They told me that I have to pay for my ticket again. They canceled my flight 3 times just to have me pay again. I highly suggest not to fly Philippine airlines for their scam.

I am unhappy with the process of transferring through Manila into Australia. This is the first flight ever that I would need to go into a designated area to have my checked in baggage opened for inspection. I may have not flown or transiting much, but of all the places I have been (US, Europe, South Asia and Middle East), never do I need to have my baggage inspected while only transiting! This will be my first and only time flying with Philippines airlines. Could have ground crews ready with posted signage to prep travellers coming off the first flight of impeding checked in baggage checks.
Hi, Randy. Thanks for sharing about your previous baggage experience with us. We understand how inconvenient this must have been for you, even if you are just transiting in Manila. Please note that additional baggage check-in inspection is required for all passengers bound for Australia. This additional process is set in place for everyone's safety. We seek your understanding in this regard.
Please send us a direct message through any of our official social media channels below should you require further assistance. We will be ready to help out.
