FLYING SAFELY IN THE ‘NEW NORMAL’
PAL is strictly implementing Fly Safe “new normal” practices to protect our passengers, in compliance with international health and safety protocols.

Please bring your own face masks and wear them at all times – at the airport and throughout your flight.

We encourage you to check-in online and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures– at least 3 hours prior to departure for domestic flights; and 4 hours prior to departure for international flights.

All PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin as well as HEPA filters that trap viruses, bacteria and other contaminants with 99.99% efficiency. The air flow system creates a cleaner environment that is safer than most enclosed public spaces and comparable to hospital operating rooms.

For more information, please see here: https://bit.ly/PALKeepsYouSafe

TRAZE CONTACT TRACING APP REQUIREMENT
All passengers flying to, from, or within the Philippines must download and register through Traze Contact Tracing, a unified and automated contact tracing app, before proceeding to the airport.

Passengers who do not have mobile phones or any other mobile gadgets may go to the Traze Helpdesk, located near the terminal entrance in all Philippine airports and at the arrival area of international airports, for registration assistance and QR code printing.

Please visit the Traze website to download and know more: https://www.traze.ph.

SPECIAL REMINDER TO CHECK ON UPDATES:
Our plans and schedules may change in response to evolving travel restrictions and quarantine limitations at arrival airports. Kindly check our website www.philippineairlines.com, or follow our social media accounts for updates.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Your health and safety will always be our top concern, and we wish you safe travels.

Select destinations welcome passengers with only the need to present proof of vaccination against covid-19, and/or other requirements.

To know more about requirements when traveling within the Philippines, visit https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/covid-19/travelingwithintheph.

01/02/2022

Starting February 1, 2022, Philippine Airlines welcomes fully vaccinated passengers with no mandatory facility-based quarantine needed upon arrival. This is in relation with IATF Resolution No. 159.

Passengers are however, still required to show proof of fully vaccinated documents and follow protocols upon entry.

16/01/2022

15/01/2022

Advisory No. 237

FOR DOMESTIC FLIGHTS: NO VACCINATION, NO FLY (new DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Department Order No. 2022-001)

Effective January 17, 2022, airlines are only allowed to accept fully vaccinated passengers for carriage on our domestic flights to and from Manila.

This requirement was imposed by the Philippine Department of Transportation (DOTr) and is valid for as long as the Metro Manila area (National Capital Region – NCR) remains under Alert Level 3 or higher. The requirement applies to all domestic travel to and from NCR, including the travel of individuals who reside outside NCR but who work inside NCR.

Travelers are considered fully vaccinated if at least two weeks have elapsed after their second dose of a two-dose COVID vaccine, or two weeks after receiving a single-dose COVID vaccine. You are required to present physical or digital copies of a vaccine card issued by your local government unit (LGU), or a vaccine certification issued by the Department of Health (DOH), or any document prescribed by the IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease); as well as a valid government-issued identification card (ID) with your picture and address. The DOTr order is here: https://bit.ly/NoVaxNoRideDOTR.

However, PAL can accept unvaccinated individuals, including minors, who can present:

1. A duly signed medical certification with the doctor's name and contact details that states that their medical condition prevents full COVID-19 vaccination; or

2. Appropriate proof (e.g., barangay health pass) to support that their travel is to procure essential goods and services (e.g., medicine, medical devices, medical and dental necessities, public utilities, etc).

Children 11 years old and below can be accepted on PAL flights without the need for a medical certificate, but should still present proof of essential travel, and must follow the LGU requirements for their destination. Please be ready to present proof of the child’s age if requested.

We seek your kind understanding, as we are required to comply with government directives for the safety of all travelers and our communities. We reiterate that the new directives apply only on domestic flights to and from Manila; our other domestic flights do not fall under these restrictions.

If the new directive prevents you from traveling, and you purchased your ticket prior to January 17, 2022 and booked for travel on any date from January 17 to January 31, 2022, your ticket is safe and remains valid, and you may avail of the following options:

1. Convert your ticket to Travel Credits equivalent to the unused base fare of your ticket. Voucher validity is one year (1) year from date of issuance.

2. Rebook or Reroute your ticket to another flight with available space within 60 days from the original flight in the same cabin class.

3. Refund ticket without penalties, excluding Ticketing Service Charge.

No show fees will be collected if your confirmed reservation was not cancelled at least four hours before your booked flight departure time.

You may request the above through our MyPAL Request Hub facility at www.bit.ly/MPRHPAL.

For such rebooking requests and transactions, we encourage you to use our MyPAL Request Hub rather than call our PAL customer hotline (which is presently unable to fully accommodate the very high volume of calls and requests). If you purchased your ticket through a travel agent, please deal directly with your agent.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together with our government authorities to promote and enforce safe air travel.
