- By Recto Mercene @rectomerce­ne

Flag carrier Philippine­s Airlines (PAL) said it will offer special fares to the public via its midyear special promo, which will start on July 13.

PAL said travelers can book their flights for travels from August 1 up to May 31, 2021. seats may be availed for as low as P388 for domestic destinatio­ns and $99 for internatio­nal destinatio­ns.

Whether flying home to their loved ones, going on essential business travels, or planning for that long overdue vacation, passengers may avail of special fares until July 19.

PAL said passengers may book via its website, call their reservatio­n hotline or visit any of its ticketing office or any partner travel agents through the PAL mobile app.

To ensure the safety and protection of all passengers, PAL said it is strictly implementi­ng an all-out "Fly safe" set of new normal safety measures and practices—dubbed “new normal, same Heart”—that adopts internatio­nal health and safety protocols while keeping the signature heartfelt service that the airline is known for.

Passengers are encouraged to check in on-line and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures. They are also required to wear face masks or facial coverings at all times— at the airport and throughout the flight—and observe physical distance whenever queueing in line or while seated at waiting areas at the airport.

The Philippine flag carrier is one of the first airlines in the world to require cabin crew to wear full personal protective equipment (PPE) while on board the f light. Pal’s cabin crew also undergoes medical evaluation prior to their duty.

The airline has modified its inflight meal and snack service, using sealed packaging instead of traditiona­l meal arrangemen­ts. PAL also offers a roomy Business Class as well as onboard Distancing seat options in Premium Economy, and a designated zone of the Economy Class cabin for passengers on internatio­nal f lights who wish to have additional comfort and peace of mind when they fly.

All PAL aircraft are equipped with advanced cabin air systems that continuous­ly infuse fresh air across the cabin (cabin air is replaced every 2 to 3 minutes), as well as High-efficiency Particulat­e Air filters (or HEPA filters) that remove viruses, bacteria and other contaminan­ts with 99.99 percent efficiency. The onboard air creates a controlled and cleaner environmen­t comparable to hospital operating rooms that are safer than most enclosed public spaces.

The flag carrier has partially resumed regular commercial flights to various domestic destinatio­ns and key internatio­nal cities in the United states, Asia, Europe, Australia, the Middle East and Canada. PAL has also been operating special missions to repatriate stranded Filipinos and foreign nationals to and from different parts of the world, as well as all-cargo services to transport essential supplies across the Philippine­s and overseas.
