Philippine Airlines set to begin non-stop flights to Manila
Come March 26 and the Philippine Airlines (PAL) will kick off its non-stop Manila-Doha-Manila flights, it has been announced.
Å circular, sent out by the airlines to agents around the country, said that PAL would operate the flights four times a week — Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday — from the Hamad International Airport, according to Gulf Times.
This will be in addition to the current thrice weekly Manila-Doha service, which also touches Abu Dhabi (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).
On March 26, for a ‘budget economy’ airfare of QR885 (subject to change), passengers will enjoy free meals, Wi-Fi, blankets and a maximum of 46kg baggage allowance.
PAL also offers ‘regular economy’ (around QR1,380) and ‘premium economy (around 2,745), but ‘fare is not guaranteed until final purchase,’ it said on its website.
The flight will leave Doha at 8pm for a nine-hour journey, and depart Manila at 1.30pm for a 9.5-hour flight back to Doha. Passengers can check in two pieces of luggage (each not exceeding 23kg).
Qatar Airways currently flies to Manila twice daily and also has a daily flight to Clark International Airport while Cebu Pacific flies thrice a week to Doha. PAL started its Manila-Doha via Abu Dhabi flights in March, 2016.
PAL is the second commercial airline in the Philippines to start direct service to Doha after Cebu Pacific.
