PAL increases Manila-Seattle flights to five times weekly starting Nov 25

Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced it will increase the frequency of flights between Manila and Seattle to five times weekly, starting November 25.

The additional Tuesday and Thursday departures now include Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday flights, served by a Boeing 777-300ER jetliner which currently operates the route three days a week.

PAL President Richard Nuttall cited growing demand for travel as the reason behind this decision, highlighting Seattle's strategic importance to both the U.S. West Coast and PAL's partnership with Alaska Airlines.

With eight destinations in the US and Canada including nonstop flights to major cities like New York and Los Angeles, PAL aims to boost tourism, business activities, and family reunions for Filipino Americans.

The expansion will also result in a substantial boost in cargo capacity of up to 40 tons per week, supporting growing trade between the U.S. and the Philippines.
