I think you may find that PAL have not operated a flight to the EU for around 10 years. Code share (QR) yes.

However, when I am in the PI, I have two main reasons for flying PAL:

1. The PAL website accepts credit cards from abroad. Oh, and you can actually get a refund which is damn near impossible with CP.

2. The flight crew have grey hair.

3. The lady cabin staff have a great uniform with pencil skirts and look simply great!

OK. I know that's 3 but I couldn't resist the last.

PAL is - by and large a good outfit - seems to have a professional image to me and offers the services that I need.

Ceb Pac (the main rival) seems to be trying to position itself as the RyanAir of the PI. Service not as good and I am still waiting for the refund on a canceled flight a year ago.

Some of the other outfits that have sprung up recently, well...........I choose not to use them.
