Philippine Airlines

Philippine Airlines is the Philippines’ full-service flag carrier, operating a mix of domestic, regional and long-haul international services. From a traveler’s perspective it is positioned as a traditional carrier offering checked baggage, onboard meals on many international sectors and a premium cabin on long-haul routes; it focuses on connecting the Philippines with the rest of Asia, Australasia, the Middle East and North America. Codeshare partnerships and other commercial agreements help broaden its global reach.

Mabuhay Miles - Philippine Airlines' Frequent Flyer Program

Mabuhay Miles is Philippine Airlines’ frequent-flyer program and allows members to earn miles on Philippine Airlines flights as well as with a range of non-airline partners and service providers; earned miles are redeemable for award travel, upgrades and other benefits. The program includes elite status levels that provide priority services and additional benefits for frequent flyers. If you fly Philippine Airlines regularly or plan to redeem award travel within its network, crediting flights to Mabuhay Miles is typically the most straightforward option.

Where Philippine Airlines Flies

Philippine Airlines operates from its main hubs at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila and Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), serving a network that combines dense domestic Philippines flying with regional services across Asia and extended long-haul routes to destinations in the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Australia and North America. The carrier is known for transpacific connections linking the Philippines with North America on scheduled long-haul flights, while regional services connect major Asian cities and Middle Eastern gateways; codeshares and partner agreements extend its reach beyond its own network.

Tips for Flying Philippine Airlines

• Check the fare rules carefully - baggage allowances and refund/change conditions vary significantly by fare class and route.
• Credit flights to Mabuhay Miles when possible if you plan to fly Philippine Airlines or its partners again, as earning and redeeming is simplest within the program.
• For international flights, check-in online and allow plenty of time at Ninoy Aquino (MNL) and Mactan-Cebu (CEB) during peak travel periods when airport queues can be long.
• Long-haul services typically include meals and inflight entertainment, but seat type (e.g., lie-flat business seats or premium economy) and amenities vary by aircraft and route, so confirm the aircraft on your booking.
