If you go to online booking, after you put in your destination, dates, etc., the next screen will show a list of flights. Next to each flight you will see "Seats". Click on this and it will display the seatmap. Hover over a seat and it will display the charge to get it. PAL like many other airlines have a bid to upgrade scheme, you get an email around 5 days before u fly. Bid about $10 more than the minimum and u will get upgraded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not email me but I looked it up on their site. The minimum bid for an upgrade to business class (in my case) is US$810 each way. Upgrading to business class for the round trip would cost me double what I paid for my tickets IN ADDITION to what I paid for my tickets, thereby costing me triple. However, I was really tempted by your suggestion to offer $10 over the minimum. Being a big spender, I completed the bid with $20 over the minimum I will let you know if you were right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If premium economy were available for a decent minimum, I might bid. I can see what their pricing scheme is. I'm sick of all the bean counters at the airlines. I used to be one for a while at a cargo airline, but now the passenger airlines combine the revenue bean counters with the marketing bean counters, and all the customer gets is bean farts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyWay Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 This is the e-mail I got. They are so nice to offer me a "choice" seat in economy for only $15! An aisle seat for $15! First 4 or 5 rows for $40!!! All of the dark blue seats are Choice seats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, you are flying soon and for others who have not flown recently. They are cracking down on what you can put in your carry on. My wife had to toss a perfectly good folding umbrella before our flight to Cebu. Others that caught my eye on the new lists were tripods, selphie sticks and those battery storage packs. Check the lists. Don't take my word on it. Dave, I know you carry a selfie stick all the time, so be warned! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
