THE Philippine Airlines (PAL) has increased the number of flights on several domestic routes in line with travel demand this coming Holy Week.

In the statement sent by PAL Spokesperson Cielo Villaluna on April 8, said, “Flight frequency between Manila and Bacolod is now at five times daily from thrice daily; flights frequency between Cebu and Bacolod is now at four times weekly from thrice weekly.

PAL flights between Manila and Basco will be twice weekly starting April 11 (Monday) from once weekly.

From the current three flights a day between Manila and Legazpi, PAL will operate four flights on April 13, 14, 17, and 18.

From the current two flights a day between Manila and Busuanga (Coron), the airline will operate three flights on April 14, 16, and 17.

From the current two flights a day between Manila and Tagbilaran (Panglao), PAL will operate three flights on April 13 and 14.

From Friday (April 8), the current one flight daily between Manila and Siargao, PAL will operate two flights on April 13, 14 and 17.

The country’s flag carrier advises all domestic travelers to check with the local government offices of both origin point and final destination on travel requirements, which may differ from province to province and are revised constantly.

PAL domestic flights depart from and arrive at NAIA Terminal 2.

Travelers must also accomplish the Passenger Profile and Health Declaration (PPHD) form online via https://bit.ly/PALDomPPHD as early as five days before flight departure.

PAL strictly implements Fly Safe “new normal” practices to protect passengers in compliance with international health and safety protocols.

The airline requests to bring face masks and wear them at all times – at the airport and throughout the flight.

PAL encourages passengers to check in online and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures – at least 3 hours before departure for domestic flights; and 4 hours before departure for international flights.

All PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin as well as HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters that trap viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants with 99.99% efficiency.

The airflow system creates a cleaner environment that is safer than most enclosed public spaces and comparable to hospital operating rooms.
