FLYING SAFELY IN THE ‘NEW NORMAL’
PAL is strictly implementing Fly Safe “new normal” practices to protect our passengers, in compliance with international health and safety protocols.
Please bring your own face masks and wear them at all times – at the airport and throughout your flight.
We encourage you to check-in online and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures– at least 3 hours prior to departure for domestic flights; and 4 hours prior to departure for international flights.
All PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin as well as HEPA filters that trap viruses, bacteria and other contaminants with 99.99% efficiency. The air flow system creates a cleaner environment that is safer than most enclosed public spaces and comparable to hospital operating rooms.
For more information, please visit Safety Measures page.
SPECIAL REMINDER TO CHECK ON UPDATES:
Our plans and schedules may change in response to evolving travel restrictions and quarantine limitations at arrival airports. Kindly check our website Philippine Airlines, or follow our social media accounts for updates.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Your health and safety will always be our top concern, and we wish you safe travels.
