FLAG
carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) will increase its
flight frequencies to Macau and Singapore.
In a
statement, PAL said it will mount flights to Macau every
day from the five-times-weekly frequency.
To
introduce the new schedule, PAL is offering a special
roundtrip fare of $108 between Manila and Macau, which
is available for ticketing until
June 30, 2008
and for travel until December 15, 2008. It excludes
insurance and fuel surcharges as well as taxes.
PAL’s
Macau service, which utilizes 156-seater Airbus A320
aircraft configured into Mabuhay (Business) Class and
Fiesta Class cabins, has experienced near-capacity loads
since its launch last May 1.
PAL will
also add a fourth frequency to Singapore starting July
1, a twice-a-week service operating every Tuesday and
Saturday, complementing the current three daily services
and raising total frequency to the Lion City to 23
flights weekly.
The new
service, PR 507, departs
Manila
every Tuesday—and Saturday at 9:50 a.m. and arrives in
Singapore at 1:30 p.m.
The
return flight, PR 506, leaves Singapore on the same days
at 2:30 p.m. and touches down in Manila at 6:15 p.m.
Bi-class
Airbus A320 aircraft will also be deployed on this
service.
As with
any new PAL service, a special introductory fare is
being offered—$108 roundtrip, excluding taxes and
surcharges, for passengers originating from Manila.
Passengers boarding from other PAL domestic points must
add $20.
These
fares are available for ticketing until June 30, 2008
and are valid for travel between July 1 and October 13,
2008. All travel must be completed by October 15, 2008. |
