IATF DISALLOWS DOMESTIC LEISURE TRAVEL FROM MARCH 22 TO APRIL 4
The Inter-Agency Task Force against infectious diseases (IATF) has temporarily suspended tourist/leisure between Metro Manila and domestic points in the Philippines.
As such, passengers traveling for leisure will not be allowed on PAL domestic flights to/from Manila from March 22 to April 4.
Leisure travelers affected by these restrictions have the following options:
1. Convert your ticket to a travel voucher with 10% bonus and valid for up to 2 years, which must be requested on or before June 30, 2021.
2. Avail of unlimited rebooking (no rebooking fee) until December 31, 2021. If you will be completing your travel in the same booking class by June 30, 2021 (or ticket validity, whichever comes first), there will be no fare difference charge.
3. Refund your ticket without penalties.
If you are already in a domestic destination and wish to return home, you may do so during this period.
If you are an ROF LSI or APOR, PAL will accept you on flights, provided that you secure all requirements by your LGU. If you wish to make changes to your booking voluntarily, you may do so following the No-Worry Flight Fare rules at https://bit.ly/PALPassengerOptions
This is an evolving situation.
Should there be new guidelines from the government on domestic air travel restrictions in and out of Manila, we will keep everyone posted through our PAL page and website www.philippineairlines.com.
