Passenger confidence returns to PAL
MANILA, Philippines–The Philippine Airlines said Thursday that passenger confidence has returned to the country’s flag carrier after its operations normalized in time for the Christmas peak travel season as shown by the volume of air travelers rushing to patronize PAL’s biggest and longest ticket sale promo – “the 12 Days of Christmas”.
In a statement, PAL said thousands of holiday travelers are availing of the giveway fares since the promo started on Dec. 14, more than a month after the airline company returned to normal operations since the labor tumult that disrupted the airline’s outsourcing program. The special fares promo is only until Dec. 26.
Under the “12 Days of Christmas” promo, PAL is offering very low-fare tickets for all its international and domestic destinations until Dec. 26 – as low as US$30 to Hong Kong, US$48 to Singapore, US498 to the US or P788 to any destination in Luzon. Travel period is from January 10 to March 15, 2012. A few seats still available as the ticket sale is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
As a special treat, PAL is also giving surprise “add ons” or “sweeteners” every day on top of promo fares. Daily surprise treats are announced in newspapers, the PAL website and Facebook page. The heavily discounted, round-trip tickets exclude fuel surcharges and government taxes.
To date, the special add-ons to the promo fares have been: Day 1 – double Mabuhay Miles points; Day 2 – buy 4, get 1 free domestic economy ticket; Day 3 – buy 5, get 5 free domestic economy ticket for Y Flyers; Day 4 – instant 7,500 Miles for new Mabuhay Miles members; Day 5 – buy 4, get 1 free domestic or regional ticket; Day 6 – upgrade to Business Class for very low fees; Day 7 – buy 2 Business Class, get 2 free domestic tickets; and Day 8 – buy 2 tickets to selected regional destinations or Guam and get a P2,000 worth Travel Certificate.
