PAL London - Manila

[gm47]

Seems PAL uses their Airbus A340-300 for London routes

These planes are definitely not 25 years old, but they are the oldest planes in the PAL fleet.
The ages vary between 15 years old and 17 years old

They have been refurbished and revamped at least once.

I guess 15/17 years old is better than 25 But if I had a choice of driving a car from 2000 or this years model I know which one I would prefer. That's probably the reason why my BC seats were so cheap :( Done now so will have to go with it this year

Flying remains by far the safest mode of transport and PAL continues to be under very close scrutiny for safety by the EU

Stop worrying and enjoy the direct flight

Cheers but I'm not worried about flying at all 👍 I've flown so many times well over 100 + flights most long haul.
I was really asking about comfortablity, meals etc. Older planes don't have the pitch,space or facilities of modern aircraft.
Safety is obviously something you have to think about but once you're in the air what will be will be 😀

I will still enjoy my trip whatever it's like. 👍👍
