It had been a long while since I travelled via Philippine Airlines (for both domestic and international flights). Aside from the competitive rates of other airlines, I got tired of PAL's consistently delayed flights.
Last weekend, Myke had a business trip to Davao and I tagged along. Since it was his office who did the reservations, I had no choice but to take PAL.
There were no hitches on the flight going to Davao. We left Manila and arrived in Davao on time. I was impressed. I said they were probably threatened by Cebu Pacific's "On time 95% of the time" campaign. I spoke too soon.
The flight going back to Manila was delayed. 2 hours delayed! While we boarded on time, they suddenly announce that there was going to be a SLIGHT delay. So, I just went to sleep, hoping that by the time I'd wake up, we'd be mid-air already. But no, in the middle of my sleep, they announced that we had to alight the plane and wait for further announcements! Not only did they disturb my sleep, I didn't like the fact that I had to wake up early to catch the flight(our flight was at 7:45am) only to find out that it's delayed! (But we were in a better place, since one of the passengers had to catch a connecting flight to somewhere from Manila)
I stand by my promise of not flying PAL again...unless it's free. Yes, this flight was free, so I am not really complaining much :)
Anyway, the lousy flight aside, I'll soon be posting about the wonderful adventure I had in Davao.
