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

 

In compliance with IATF’s Guidelines for Nationwide Alert Level System and the Department of Health (DOH), all persons shall wear well-fitted face masks, if necessary, especially in public areas and enclosed spaces.

 

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

 

PAL allows early check in for international passengers in NAIA Terminal 1 and 2:

  • NAIA Terminal 1: Early check-in at 6 hours before departure
  • NAIA Terminal 2: Early check-in at 5 hours before departure


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.
