  • I had the chance to fly business class with Philippine Airlines on my flight from Manila to Los Angeles....and that was on the 4th of July.
    Flying to the US, in this time of pandemic, is very different now. You need to comply a lot of documents to show both to the Philippine and US immigrations.
    It is safe now to fly during this time.

    Hello. Thanks for posting! I intend to travel with my 16 year-old daughter as tourists next month. It is long overdue. This would be our 2nd time going to the US. Just wanted to ask these questions.
    1) Are minors allowed to travel these days?
    2) What sort of questions did Philippine and US immigration ask you?
    3) How long are you staying in the US as a tourist?
    Thanks heaps in advance! Hoping for your reply.

      Hi
      1. Minors are allowed. I saw a minor on the same plane with me ☺️
      2. Ph immigration just asked me for my negative result and travel insurance.
      US immigration asked me a lot actually. Maybe because I am a solo traveler. Questions like: how long Im staying, who im staying with, my business in Ph and etc... basic questions.
      3. Im staying here for a month

What was the protocol when you arrived? (I am assuming they change every now and then depending on the situation. Delta is now the dominant strain in WA, I read.) Did you have to quarantine upon arrival? I am already fully vaccinated here in the Philippines. Appreciated any info. TIA! ❤️

    Sadly they (PAL) are using the old aircraft. There are newer planes which is the airbus 350, that has the new seat configurations, the business class has 1-2-1, premium economy 2-4-2, and the economy 3-3-3. I personally think the 4-star skytrax rating is based on this one, not the old planes, hopefully u fly the new plane which is way better. Safe travels 😁
