Travellers always say its a clean airline with good customer service. Flight attendants are very charming and nice.
Let us quote the experience of RT Cunningham in his experience with the Philippines’ Flag Carrier the Philippine Airlines.
“In my honest opinion, it’s a mistake using any airline other than Philippine Airlines for Philippines travel, at least internationally. Their normal fares are almost always cheaper than any other airlines and their service is better. The Americans and Filipinos serving as flight attendants are much friendlier than what I’ve seen on other airlines. Their flights are shorter and with less stops than any other international airlines as well.”
His statement is one of the honest words that i have ever read.
