Philippine Airlines | Riyadh-Manila | Business class with Lounge access at KKIA

Christmas special trip review of Philippine Airlines business class Riyadh to Manila flight on A330-300 HWG. Please like, share, comment and subscribe for more trip reviews. Merry Christmas everyone!
Verdict: A massive difference interns of service and meals compared to my business class flights to US and Australia were even small extras like soup, salt & pepper are being provided before mains and attention to details from FA's. Maybe they thought MiddleEast flights are just for OFW's who deserve less.

    They need to make more +points on the tray/meal presentation,because they don't have first class.(like eva air) maybe with more beautiful tableware,tablecloth and plates etc. They should stop using thin plastic forks/knives in eco.maybe a thicker,washable one would make it more valuable.not single use plastic And yes,this cabin is not the best.hopefully soon to be refurbished

    I think these type of planes without IFEs are being used in Middle East Flights. The newer ones complete with IFEs are being used for Japan, SFO, Hawaii.

    Because PAL thinks that OFWs in the middle east deserves less. lol i dont understand why they are using newly refurbished planes to shorter flights compared to the middle east which is more than 9 hours of flight. Kahit ung cebu flight nga bagong refurbish ang ginagamit. sa Middle east bulok pa din.

    that guy that’s right, MidEast flights has no IFE for 9-10hrs flying time on a crowded 3-3-3 economy seats while business class 2-2-2 still no IFE and sometimes they still fly their A330 monoclass type

    We have to recommend to our HR dept to issue ticket from Saudia or Gulf Air.. The only disadvantage with other arab airlines are their long transit time. Same with Cathay pacific, but at least you are properly entertain of your long flight.

    there is IFE. On coach you should download in google play "myPAL Player" before flying and you will be connected to wifi on board. if you mean no LCD screens in front of you, there's none. bring your own ipad or tablet and use it on board. this is a misconception all the while. premium economy and business class passengers are provided with ipads. its too harsh to say that ofw's are looked down by our own flag carrier. it only means that we can afford gadgets for our personal use. also there is a usb charge slot under the seat (with green light). i use it always when i go home and back to riyadh. i guess sometimes we just have to ask.

    is it worth flyin business class with PAL even if it's on promo??? it's not really costly on promo... just a bit high on economy class fare in other airlines... But no IFE and dining is not as extensive as others... their other aircraft seems nice but the ones used for MidEast flights seem not..

    i think it is if ur only goal is to have comfortable flight on a fully flat bed, not so much about IFE since i have my own laptop to watch movies but i prefer to sleep more than watching movies. Also I fly business class to keep my Elite MabuhayMiles status. If u happen to read my verdict on the description, i compared my US bound business class flight with ME flight, big difference.

I am not humiliating PAL beside I am glad for them that they made huge improvement in their aircrafts... even they have been awarded 4-star recently by skytrax... We are not pasosyal... you just don't understand us people who are aviation lovers.... we fly oftentimes and as much as possible, we want comfortability at its best when we fly.... The question therein is "Is it worth it?" answerable by yes or no; and PE Mont said YES... no humiliation there bitch!

    Their Business class fare in middle east is cheaper though the seats are smaller and no IFE. but getting a cheaper business class product is worth it. I flew from Manila to Toronto on PAL's 777 economy class. I barely use their IFE since my phone is good enough and they have free wifi.

    Still without inflight entertainment? just look at the top of the of the roof for 10.5 hours flight to Manila..Lucio Tan getting richer by making Filipino ofw flight miserable for the next 10.5 hours of flying time inside the box.. what a descriminatory attitude. I hope they stop flying Riyadh to Manila, so we can have an option to go via Saudia or gulf air with inflight entertainment system.

    Danny Arangale it is unfair that PAL only flies aircraft with IFE to countries with high tourist density than OFW-dense destination, let’s just hope that PAL rethink their policy to provide better aircraft with IFE for MiddleEast bound fights for OFW soon.

    JUAN LAVEGA i can totally relate to ur sentiments, if u watch my trip report Tokyo-Manila flight u can see only 30% full, PAL could have utilized it to MidEast flights for sure itl be 100% full even if they increase price. I personally willing to pay a little higher fare as long as they fly better aircraft to ksa.
