This is our perennial family debate over our once-a-year or two flights from LA to MNL and vice versa because my loyal wife (with PAL) keeps on insisting that we fly her airline all the time. Me and my adult children (one lawyer and one medical doctor intern) prefer airlines with 9 seating abreast like Asiana, Korean, Eva, SQ and Cathay! My children are very free with their decisions, they have to fly whichever airline they prefer most............I have to stick with my wife's........."Poor husband," my sisters say! My wife answers back, "That's called love, sisters!" ....... .OMG, OMG!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780063429957455842.post-48786103214031775432015-06-13T21:32:51.547+08:002015-06-13T21:32:51.547+08:00And to think that PAL's A321 that flies from M...And to think that PAL's A321 that flies from MNL to SIN and vv don't have IFE on economy class.

If you are over 5 feet 8 inches tall, you will have a hard time relaxing yourself as the cabin walls are too close to your head for comfort.

You guys are making little things more complicated instead of thanking SQ for its generous help to all athletes participating in the SEA Games in Singapore. Forget about PAL this time; let your athletes enjoy the services and other superb amenities of the best airline of the planet earth! Simple as that! <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780063429957455842.post-52295988714921806632015-06-10T08:31:18.829+08:002015-06-10T08:31:18.829+08:00The article will not be relevant if a PSC official...The article will not be relevant if a PSC official had not highlighted the fare of PAL being more expensive than SQ. If PAL had offered the same fare (tinapatan ang presyo) there will be no need for the PSC official to make the comment on PAL. It would seem PSC was scouting for reasonable fares prior to deciding on SQ. PAL could have offered a lower fare had it realized the marketing benefit of flying the Philippine team to SEAG. A missed opportunity.

No more, no less. <br /><br />The title of this article is misleading people to think that PAL somehow failed our athletes in providing benefits/perks...But why single out PAL....Cebu Pathetic is also a (loud and) proud PH flag carrier...and I'm sure they can fly out our athletes with their P1 fare!<br /><br />It's plain and simple...SQ is SEAG sponsor. They flew athletes from all over SEA to SG. There's nothing to it other than that. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780063429957455842.post-55572835762226548642015-06-09T05:54:58.542+08:002015-06-09T05:54:58.542+08:00You guys are wrong sq sponsor to fly all athletes ...You guys are wrong sq sponsor to fly all athletes in the regionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780063429957455842.post-75835872530340177932015-06-09T00:12:34.660+08:002015-06-09T00:12:34.660+08:00PAL, again, being short-sighted and unable to see ...PAL, again, being short-sighted and unable to see the "big picture", should have/could have had the opportunity to gain great marketing publicity by sponsoring the Philippine team. Such would have been worth more than the cost of the measly tickets and luggage charges. Sadly, such actions are, not a surprise, but rather on-par with PAL's award-winning mediocrity.JiBBerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063818584184772469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780063429957455842.post-3337296773266194442015-06-08T18:19:14.937+08:002015-06-08T18:19:14.937+08:00I wonder how PAL will take this.

While Singapore Airlines uses 8-abreast in their A330s and 9-abreast in their 777s, which have wider seats and are the standard in the airline industry. They've also considered the athletes' wide shoulders and athletic build, so the PAL A330s simply didn't pass when it comes to seat width and legroom. Also, other than the pricing and additional perks, most likely they've also considered the award-winning service of Singapore Airlines: the soft product hospitality, more food choices, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780063429957455842.post-73395604397574568712015-06-08T15:08:24.253+08:002015-06-08T15:08:24.253+08:0020 upgrades for the officials?20 upgrades for the officials?goriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353448699950990882noreply@blogger.com
