Philippine Airlines limits Free Baggage to 50 lbs per piece on US-Canada Flights

Philippine Airlines is capping the weight of the two pieces of free checked baggage for each passenger on flights to and from the United States (including Guam) and Canada at 50 pounds (23 kilograms) per piece for tickets issued or re-issued starting July 1, 2008.

Tickets issued before July 1 – but for travel from July 1 onward – still entitle the passenger to the free baggage weight limit of 70 pounds (32 kilograms) per piece.

Record-high fuel prices have forced PAL to follow the lead of most major carriers in reducing baggage allowance on trans-Pacific routes, as a way of cutting operational cost.

The six largest U.S. carriers have gone even further. American, United Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, Continental and U.S. Airways have all recently imposed fees on checked baggage on domestic U.S. routes. (more…)

More tourists are expected to visit Boracay this year as the Kalibo Airport opens its doors to more international flights and tourists from Taiwan and mainland China.

The Kalibo Airport in Aklan province is one of the gateways to Boracay, the country’s top beach destination.

Taipei-based Mandarin Airlines has launched its first direct flight to Kalibo Saturday to give Taiwanese tourists easier access to Boracay, which is an ideal vacation spot for Taiwanese because of its proximity.

“With fuel prices soaring these days, the air ticket prices are higher to Japan, Korea, North America, and Europe. Southeast Asia is thus a very good choice for passengers who want a very reasonable price,” said Mandarin Airlines’ Richard Ma. (more…)

With Philippine Airlines load factor almost hitting 100 percent at the start of summer this year, an additional flight was added to its existing five daily the Davao-Manila flights.

Lawyer Domingo Duerme, PAL senior vice president for Mindanao said on Monday at the Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM’s Café Rysus that present Davao-Manila flights are full that is why they decided to add another flight that will depart from Davao at 9:35 in the evening.

Duerme said they will run the newest flight until June and if the demand for more seats continues then they will consider making it a regular route.

Starting April 24, he said the schedule for Davao Manila flights are as follows 7:30 am, 1:55 pm, 4:25 pm, 7:20 pm, 8:40 pm and 9:355 pm.

He said this would indicate that there are more travelers and more money will be coming in to Davao.

Duerme also said by June they will also serve other shorter routes like Cebu-Butuan, Cebu-Davao, Cebu-General Santos, Cebu-Cagayan, Cebu-Ozamis, Cebu-Zamboanga and Zamboanga-Davao.

To service these routes he said they had acquired Q 400. These are nine Canadian aircrafts (72-seaters) valued at $1.5 million. (more…)
