PAL London - Manila
I believe PAL have removed the new planes they used on this route to use elsewhere, they are apparently now using 25+ years old planes :( I booked my flights to Manila for August and Xmas before I heard about this.
Anyone any information as how these flights are now. Any major differences ??

Friend of mine flew from manila-Bangkok last week,he said the planes are old with no TV's in the back of the seats and their inflight meal was a snack,cake I think?Why did PAL originally stop flying Fil-UK was it unpaid fuel bills?
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.

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 don't know what plane he boarded,i do know it left manila late earning the old Philippines Always Late PAL joke,i will find out when I speak to him,i have some mates arriving tomorrow also from Pinas,i will ask them when they get here.I was wrong about PAL being banned from UK for fuel debt,they were banned from EU airspace over safety concerns.

Yes, EU regulations about flight and airline safety. Maintenance/documentation/records etc. I have flown LHR<>MNL and while it might be direct I find it a bit too much at 195cm tall in economy. Especially the return leg which last time took 15hr 45 mins. I'm also not 100% convinced about their safety and maintenance compared with the leading players.
We fly via the Middle East now from BHX. In fact Rose is boarding a DXB>MNL flight with Emirates at this very moment.

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. 👍👍

We deliver to plane sprayers and they do make a great job, like you say good as new, but it's everything else that is still old.

A number of years ago I was in Zamboanga,waiting for a Cebu pacific flight to davao.....waited......waited......waited some more, several hours after the flight was due to arrive in davao we were told the flight was cancelled they flew us to manila, put us in a hotel for the night then flew us back down to davao almost a day late, the reason for the original flights cancellation was a human foetus in the planes toilet.
