REF: ADVPR21-007 DATED 23 MAR 2021
1. PAL TO CARRY ONLY ‘ESSENTIAL’ TRAVELERS BETWEEN MANILA and DOMESTIC STATIONS
as of 22 March 2021
In line with the latest resolution of the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF) allowing only essential travelers in and out of the National Capital Region from March 22 to April 4, Philippine Airlines will only carry passengers traveling for non-leisure purposes between Manila and domestic stations within the said period.
Domestic leisure travelers affected by these restrictions may avail of any of the following options:
1. Convert your ticket to a Travel Voucher (request until June 30, 2021)
2. Avail of unlimited rebooking (no rebooking fee) until December 31, 2021. If you will be completing your travel in the same booking class by June 30, 2021 (or ticket validity, whichever comes first), there will be no fare difference charge.
3. Refund your ticket without penalties.
You may request any of the options via the myPAL Request Hub at https://mypal.vip/url/RequestHub.
If you are a leisure traveler already in a domestic destination and wish to return home, PAL will endeavor to operate flights to Manila to accommodate returning leisure travelers.
If you are a Returning Overseas Filipino (ROF), Locally Stranded Individual (LSI) or Authorized Person Outside of Residence (APOR), PAL will continue to accept you on flights, provided that you secure all requirements by your Local Government Unit (LGU).
Essential travelers must present valid identification showing proof of residence, on top of other requirements of their respective LGUs. For a guide on these travel rules and requirements, visit https://bit.ly/PALTravelsWithinPH.
This is an evolving situation. Should there be new guidelines from the government on domestic air travel restrictions in and out of Manila, we will keep everyone posted through our PAL Facebook Page and website www.philippineairlines.com.
