In either case, did you find the seating comfortable?

I have not really considered them since MH 370 flew off into the wild blue yonder and was never seen again. Just buy a one way ticket incase you dont get to use the return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeoffH 659 Posted January 26 I have flown on PAL A330-300 twice (economy) but not on that route. I am not sure how much I can say about it, the seats were typical economy. The food was ok, the staff were ok, the seats were tight but that’s to be expected in economy. A point in Philippine Airlines favor, Philippine Airlines were willing to check my bags through Manila to Cagayan De Oro (booked as one journey) so I didn’t have to wait at NAIA for my bag then re-check it where as with Cebu Pacific I have to pick it up and then drop it at the domestic bag drop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LUFCinMakati 56 Posted January 26 MAS has one of the best safety records and MH370 and 17 was a one off. I have flown probably 1000 times over the last 15 years with only a couple of delays. The only thing to be aware of is a lay over at KLIA, there is nothing to do and F&B prices are mind blowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
