(Special Advertising Feature) — If there has ever been a time to turn tropical daydreams into reality, this is it.
Philippine Airlines or PAL marks its 85th anniversary with special all-in fares starting at $465 to Manila and $308 to Tokyo via Manila — inviting travelers to pack their bags to discover the Philippines’ bustling urban hubs, historic districts, and diverse cultural landscapes.
The booking period runs from March 2 to 15, 2026, while the travel period starts March 29, 2026 onwards. Whether it’s your first visit or one of many, planning ahead ensures you won’t miss the opportunity. Here’s a few more reasons to prepare now.
This is Your Window to Make it Happen!
Manila is a city where heritage, culture, and modern energy come together. Travelers can step into the storied walls of Intramuros, wander through centuries of Filipino history in its museums, or admire iconic landmarks and Spanish-era architecture that reflect the country’s rich past.
With its blend of tradition and innovation, spirited neighborhoods, and a cultural scene that’s constantly evolving, Manila provides a dynamic urban experience for travelers seeking character, creativity, and connection.
Seamless Travel Connects You to Manila and Beyond
PAL’s anniversary fares apply to flights to Manila, the key gateway that opens up the archipelago.
Manila serves as a dynamic hub, offering convenient onward access to major Asian cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shanghai, as well as to key domestic destinations including Cebu, Davao, Laoag, Bacolod and Zamboanga — ideal for travelers planning multi-stop itineraries. Beyond its role as a gateway, it also offers a blend of culture, dining, and retail experiences.
Cebu likewise functions as an important hub, providing smooth onward connections and access to notable shopping and lifestyle spots.
Whether planning a relaxing city retreat or an itinerary that blends city energy with coastal calm, PAL’s extensive network makes travel within the Philippines and beyond both convenient and rewarding.
Because Your Well-Deserved Escape Begins the Moment You Board the Aircraft
As Asia’s first airline and the Philippines’ flag carrier, PAL brings the spirit of Filipino hospitality into the skies. Thoughtful service, attentive care, and a welcoming atmosphere set the tone long before landing where culture, connection, and hospitality come naturally.
From the moment passengers step on board, the journey feels less like a flight and more like the beginning of a memorable experience.
Eighty-five years after its first flight, PAL continues to connect the world to the Philippines and beyond, where centuries-old history meets modern city life, where traditions are celebrated in vibrant communities, and where every traveler is welcomed like family.
Because It’s Time for a Truly Unique Experience from the Kindest and Warmest People You’ll Ever Meet
Beyond the scenery, it is the people who leave a lasting impression. Filipinos are known for their warmth, kindness, and unmistakable sense of joy in everyday life. Visitors are welcomed with genuine smiles, easy conversation, and a culture that celebrates togetherness, whether around a shared meal, a gathering, or a lively local festival.
For visitors from Saipan, close regional proximity and long-standing connections create a sense of familiarity alongside discovery. For international travelers, the widespread use of English and deep cultural ties make exploring effortless.
