What is your Favorite Airline to Fly to Philippines and Why? Please list Airlines you have Flown from USA to Philippines and which was best value or most comfortable seats and most pleasant staff.

I personally have flown Delta, and Asiana.

Have to say Asiana blew Delta away. Seats where more comfortable, Food was much better, top shelf drinks and beer were free as well as much better and frequent meals. Very friendly helpful flight attendants. Only dislike was in JFK you have to get your bags and exit the airport then reenter and go though security again. But Asiana held the flight for us.

Would like to know others experiences and Airlines they like or dislike for flights form the USA to Philippines. Do you fly into Manila, Cebu or Clark?

Personally I like Korean airlines. We can usually find good prices and they are constantly feeding you, so I am one happy camper.

Incheon is also a great airport for a layover and it allows us to avoid having to go through Manila. We fly straight into Cebu from Seoul.

I tried Delta, Cathay Pacifc, and Korea Air.

Korea Air had better food and I actually like departing from Atlanta Airport. I don't like drinking during a flight, so I can't tell you anything about that.

Cathay Pacific had the better staff and service and comfortable seats. Although I didn't like going through JFK or Hong Kong Airport. Also, Cathay lost my luggage two times.

Delta it's not great, but I like it out of all the 3. Flights are cheaper, food is decent, seats are comfortable enough, and the flight plan usually was the shortest route so less time in the air. Also most of my frequent flyer miles are through Delta Skymiles. Some people had gripes about Detroit Airport but I always had good experiences there.

I flew to Manila.

I have flown EVA and PAL. Pal is ok, you usually arrive in Manila late morning which you need if continuing to another Phils city. Other airlines tend to arrive late (like Northwest) so if going on to say, Davao, you must spend the night in Manila. PAL service is fair/good but ticket prices are usually on the upper side of average.

EVA has better service than PAL, has the 777 which is a little more comfort than the PAL 747's. Down side is a 3-4 hour layover in Taiwan. Taiwan airport is easy to get around, most places except USD and free wifi in most public places. Costs for EVA are 350-450 USD less than PAL. If you decide to fly EVA, connect at San Fran, LAX can be a bear changing terminals.

Next trip we will take will be Delta from ATL to Inchon to Manila. Have had good reports from friends. Now Delta prices are some of the lowest. Hope they hold until March-April, our next trip to Davao.

Just don't try PAL now. They are going through huge transition now. They are firing thousands of employees and wants to turn to outsourcing and facing another 15 yr old legal issue.

Happy New Year!

I flew Asiana Airlines from Seatac to Seoul, Korea with a 2 or 3 hour layover, then on to Manila. The staff was very helpful, and the food was wonderful and constant. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was a very good experience. I joined their club and have almost 10,000 miles towards my next flight which I will enjoy immensely when I am able to take it.

We flew PAL. The non-stop return to SF is great. The food is good. The planes are old, and stuff doesn't always work. The cabin crew tends to disappear for a while during the flight, to get some sleep, no doubt. Pilots are top notch.

With PAL, you can save the most money by buying online from their website.

I like KAL also! Great Airport! Incheon is a fabulous Airport! Ultra modern and I like those People movers! Just stand there and you move right along through the Airport looking at all the High Class Shops there! And for those that Smoke they have Smoking rooms.U pass by and the rooms are all glass and you wont see a sight of smoke anywhere cause of those high suction vacums they have in there! great Airport!
