PAL Inflight Meal MNL-SNG

It's so sad that PAL has labor problems.

it also affects their catering service. we were served with "lunchbox" type. disappointing.

"lunch box" from PAL (dried fruit candies / mamon roll / crackers)

Menu: Sweet and Sour Fish / Chicken Terriyaki

I chose chicken because I'm not sure about the fish quality. Some people advised me not to choose fish because of it's quality and cooking preparations.

The chicken terriyaki was painfully sad. although the meat is cooked properly and it's not too soft and the taste quality is very sad. however, i have to commend the vegetables (carrots, chayote, green beans) were cooked properly. the vegetables were firm and not very soft (i hate soft vegetables, to me it's hard to swallow and chew). the rice is snow white but hard again, sad sad meal.

I think all these brouhaha of labor problems with PAL affected all flight services. but despite all these, I'm still loyal with PAL.

But the inflight movie made my trip very relaxing.

Why Fly PAL:

Pros:

1) It has wide space (more leg room rather than competing local airlines) it has 32 inch space.
2) Only local airline who has their own terminal (Terminal 2 is exclusive for PAL).
3) Only local airline who gives full meal (international) / snacks (domestic) flights.
4) Inlfight Movie (international) from the recent movies that was shown.
5) Service is a real quality

Cons:

1) I don't think delayed flights are so much of a con (well, because of the congestion in NAIA) but of course, it's very painful and annoying to be stuck at the airport.
2) Attitude from their Flight Attendants - Not to generalize them, but over the past years PAL FAs was tagged to be dismissive and sometimes discriminating people according to their looks.

All these Pros and Cons was dully experienced since i was flying with them at the age of 7.

Prices: Pal prices are very competitive nowadays. not many people know but PAL is cheaper than budget carriers. ex. Cebu Pacific costs 3,500 (w/o luggage, w/o meals, smaller legroom space, no inflight movie) although i have to commend their FAs, they were all friendly and you can feel the true service w/o just being professional.

I think PAL should give me free flights! haha
