Question 1

How can I check in for my Philippine Airlines flight?

Accepted Answer

Online check-in is available from 24 hours up to 1 hour before departure for most flights. Passengers can use their booking reference, e-ticket number, or Mabuhay Miles number.

Passengers with checked baggage should proceed to the bag drop counter at least 1 hour before international flights and 45 minutes before domestic flights.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Free check-in baggage allowance varies by booking class and route. Passengers should properly pack their bags within the allowed limits to avoid excess baggage fees. Specific details can be found on the Philippine Airlines website or by contacting customer service.

Question 3

How can I request a refund for my Philippine Airlines ticket?

Accepted Answer

Refund requests for tickets purchased directly from PAL can often be initiated through the Manage My Booking facility on the website or mobile app, or via the Refund Help Page. For tickets with U.S. segments purchased at least seven days before departure, a full refund without penalty can be requested within 24 hours of purchase. Refunds for tickets issued by travel agencies must be processed through the original issuing office. Voluntary refunds are subject to ticket conditions and may incur fees, while involuntary refunds due to airline-initiated changes are generally processed without penalties.

If you cancel a non-refundable ticket, typically only the taxes will be refunded. The refund will be credited to the original form of payment used for the purchase, following the original exchange rate.

Question 5

How can I change or rebook my flight?

Accepted Answer

Voluntary rebooking can be done through the Manage My Booking facility for eligible tickets.

Rebooking may be subject to fare differences, taxes, and change fees, depending on the ticket's fare rules.
