Philippine Airlines is increasing available capacity on flights to two key
domestic points to accommodate the expected swarm of travelers as the busy summer travel season gets underway.
Starting this Holy Week through May, PAL will expand seat offerings by up
to 75% (on certain dates) on its services to Kalibo and Tagbilaran, two of
the most popular tourist destinations in the country.
Kalibo, gateway to the resort island of Boracay, will see frequencies rise
from the current three to four times daily on April 19, 20, 21, 25 and 27, and
on May 1 and 4.
On top of these, special flights will be added on the peak weekends of April
17 (Holy Thursday) and 20.
The Tagbilaran service, normally operated four times a week, was
expanded to daily frequency last April 12 until May 31, boosting capacity
on the only jet air link to the Bohol capital by 444 seats weekly for the
duration of the summer season.
Overall, PAL will be offering in excess of 4,100 seats per week to Kalibo
and Tagbilaran this summer. The flag carrier deploys 148-seater Boeing 737-300 aircraft on the two routes.
Meanwhile, PAL advises passengers to check in as early as three hours
before their scheduled domestic flight time to account for the stringent
security checks at the NAIA Centennial Terminal 2 that has caused massive
congestion at the departure level.
PAL's check-in counters are open to serve passengers starting as early as
2:00 a.m. for domestic flights and 4:00 a.m. for international flights, daily. |
