One more comment I have to make after watching your entire video... Thank you for posting that... The Japan airlines, hospitality of the crew and the Nippon airlines hospitality of their crew.. is the best in the world in my opinion... Philippine airlines is okay.. but the Japanese airlines are above and beyond every other airline

Are you ready to fly with United Flight from USA via Tokyo—Narita to Cebu? It’s gonna start this Late Sunday Night.

I believe the seats have power outlets. You should have brought your power adapter. Just a thought. Have a nice vacation.

Superb every Airlines should have ife system

Nice thumbnail. Hope you enjoy your flight back to Cebu. l am curious that your 1st time flying Philippine, Boeing 777-300ER in the newer cabin, how many hours did you sleep on the plane, do you remember how much you pay to fly from Seattle to Cebu via San Francisco and Manila and how's passport for entering Philippines?

Powerbanks are a must haves now. I don't want to rely on the charging ports.

[joshuadominictoling]

Flying United the next few months from Cebu via Tokyo—Narita to the USA is gonna start after the inauguration flight.

From what I can see if you end up comparing it to a Japanese JL/NH South Korean KE Singaporean SQ Taiwanese BR/CI and lastly Hong Kongers CX you would actually find out they did it correctly USB charging and alternating current plugs. A Philippine Airlines want to stand up to the premium carriers from the five Asian countries mentioned above they would need to do AC/USB charging in Fiesta Class otherwise pinoys in the west coast of the United States would see that the premium competition of Philippine Airlines from Taiwan South Korea Singapore Japan and Hong Kong end up getting cheaper because of their premium quality service.

I have had some bad experiences with PAL.. but only with domestic flights.... International PAL flights were fine.

I Always Took Manila To San Francisco When I Go To The USA 🇺🇸

[robertyabut]

You should try Japan Airlines to Manila.

[unknownname]

How did you check your luggage alway the way to Cebu from SeaTac?

[BB-dpkh]

Having flown PAL many times the service is not impressive..flown before on a 747 with no in-flight entertainment, APU inop..but hats of to the flight crew, they land the best..

[davenorth]

I fly PAL quite a bit, and the crew are ALWAYS exceptional. But I gotta say, that business class product just doesn't cut it for the price. Two big issues for me. One is the middle seat in Biz; who does that anymore? The second is the biz class cabin only has one toilet, and in my experience, it's invariably occupied by crew members. They should have at least two toilets.

[chinitonamoreno]

I jusg wished they would switch to metal cutleries for economy

[bjf]

what is the point of paying for a wifi if you cant get youtube to work😢😢

[handsomedudeu]

They need to improve more on their food bring back the metal cuttlery put more food on trays

[kevin]

7:22, What, really? I have the same experience when I flew Jetstar, Boeing 787-8 from Sydney to Honolulu last August, I was seat 32A, some USB ports (including mine) did not work, I ask the crew to tell the ground staff to fix, they did, but I don't think they fix it, it's disappointing, but they have universal power outlet underneath the seats and it work by charging my phone and tablet, which is good.

The business class seating has not changed: a horrible 2-3-2 layout without much privacy. I think PAL is still an underperformer compared to Asian carriers flying into Manila from the US (and this includes United Airlines as far superior in their hard product compared to PAL). The economy section has been refurbished, though. Much improved.
