Travel Advisory No. 219

FLYING TO THE U.S. -- NEW RULES FOR NON-U.S. CITIZENS & NON-IMMIGRANTS TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION

To our valued passengers:

Effective November 8, 2021, the U.S. government will require non-U.S. citizens who are not immigrants to be fully-vaccinated, and show proof of vaccination status, to be able to enter the United States.

This does not apply to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. lawful permanent residents and immigrants. For information on travel requirements for U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. lawful permanent residents and immigrants, please refer to
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel-during-covid19.html.

One is considered fully-vaccinated for COVID-19:
• 14 days after his or her dose of an accepted single-dose COVID-19 vaccine;
• 14 days after his or her second dose of an accepted 2-dose series COVID-19 vaccine;
• 14 days after he or she received the full series of an “active” (not placebo) COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S.-based AstraZeneca or Novavax COVID-19 vaccine trials; or
• 14 days after he or she received 2 doses of any “mix-and-match” combination of accepted COVID-19 vaccines administered at least 17 days apart*

*The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has not recommended use of mix-and-match combinations, but will accept them for the purpose of interpreting vaccination records for entry into the U.S. because such combinations are adopted by many countries:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html -vaccines.

If you do not meet the above requirements, you are NOT considered fully-vaccinated and you will not be allowed to board a flight to the United States, unless you meet exemption criteria under the latest CDC regulations. Such exceptions include:
• Persons on diplomatic or official foreign government travel
• Children under 18 years of age
• Persons with documented medical contraindications to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine
• Participants in certain COVID-19 vaccine trials
• Persons issued a humanitarian or emergency exception
• Persons with valid visas [excluding B-1 (business) or B-2 (tourism) visas] who are citizens of a foreign country with limited COVID-19 vaccine availability
• Members of the U.S. Armed Forces or their spouses or children (under 18 years of age)
• Sea crew members traveling with to a C-1 and D nonimmigrant visa
• Persons whose entry would be in the national interest, as determined by the U.S. Secretary of State, Secretary of Transportation, or Secretary of Homeland Security (or their designees)

If you travel by air to the United States under one of these exceptions, you must attest that you are exempted from the requirement to present proof of vaccination:
• You will be tested with a COVID-19 viral test 3 to 5 days after arrival in the United States, unless you have documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days;
• You will self-quarantine for 7 days, even if the test result to the post-arrival viral test is negative, unless you have documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days; and
• You will self-isolate if the result of the post-arrival test is positive or if you develop COVID-19 symptoms.

A parent or an authorized person should attest on behalf of a passenger who is under 18 years old or any passenger who is unable to sign their own attestation (e.g., because they are too young, or because of physical or mental impairment). Visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/noncitizens-US-air-travel.html for more details.

All types of COVID-19 Vaccination proof must show the full name of the passenger (as shown in passport), the name of official source issuing the record (public health agency, government agency, other authorized vaccine provider), the vaccine brand and the dates of inoculation.

The following COVID-19 Vaccination proof are acceptable:
• Verifiable records (digital or paper): Vaccination certificate with QR code*, digital pass via Smartphone application with QR code* (e.g., United Kingdom National Health Service COVID Pass, European Union Digital COVID Certificate);
• Non-verifiable paper records: Printout of COVID-19 vaccination record or a COVID-19 vaccination certificate issued at national or subnational level or by an authorized vaccine provider (e.g., the CDC vaccination card); and
• Non-verifiable digital records: Digital photos of vaccination card or record, downloaded vaccine record or vaccination certificate from official source (e.g., public health agency, government agency, or other authorized vaccine provider), or a mobile phone application without QR code*.

*The QR code in a verifiable vaccination record must link to information confirming the credential was generated from an immunization record in an official database and is protected from tampering.

More information can be viewed at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html . You may also visit our website at www.philippineairlines.com, our official PAL social media pages, or call our hotline at (+632) 8855 8888.

Thank you.

It’s a smart move to iron out details of your trip -- from your travel must-do’s, to your must-bring’s & valuables down to souvenir items. You don’t wanna miss giving away ‘pasalubong’ to your countless ‘inaanak’ this coming Christmas.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of the time, making a list solves unnecessary forgetfulness and saves us a lot of time & luggage space especially when:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- trying to travel light ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- you only have 3D2N itinerary and you want to squeeze in as much side trip as you want⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- shopping for souvenirs (which mostly are already requested from you 😉)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tick off the list booking for a staycation today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PM me, link in my bio ✈️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The term ‘red-eye’ came about to describe sleepy passengers getting off an overnight flight between 9PM to 6AM.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One benefit is that you’ll arrive at your destination early -- stroll around town and maybe catch a good breakfast nook before checking-in a hotel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re a casual/frequent traveler but also can’t give up sleeping, this option might be good for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus, you can also get cheaper tickets in booking for off-peak hours. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any memorable experiences to share on your red-eye flights? Let’s talk about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At this mobile age, it is practical to scan documents & save them in your cloud storage. It provides you access anytime & anywhere and can be a life-saver in case something gets lost.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is just as important to save a copy on your device to have offline access to them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever find yourself in a situation where you lost your ticket, voucher, or (i hope not) passport? How did you overcome it? Feel free to share in the comments. 💁🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of my favorite road trip songs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all have that specific music when it comes to setting up the mood, and what we think would make the experience better. When I am having a late-night long drive, the stripped version of this song makes it so relaxing and cozy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s your travel jam? Feel free to drop it in the comments. 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lounge access may seem a sore to your travel budget. Here are some tips to know your eligibility for FREE access:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. If you are an American Express (AMEX) Platinum Credit Card holder, you have access to Global Lounge Collections -- this is currently one of the best options for frequent travelers since there are a lot of travel perks that comes with the card⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. You can also gain free access to lounge with an elite point status on your frequent flyer membership. Be sure to use it to earn miles or points whenever you book for a flight.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. More common way is through a first class ticket. Aside from a comfortable flight, it gives you access to airport lounges so make sure to check them out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Never hurts to ask -- other airport companies offer lounge access in tickets sold higher than economy class. You can always confirm with your check-in attendant for perks and other offers they may have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, Free WIFI...Why not? Some lounges have such a strong Wi-Fi signal that you can connect to by just sitting nearby.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Latest List of Public Transport Modes Available in ECQ [As of August 3, 2021]

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Art Tugade said that the current public transport supply and capacity will be retained in the National Capital Region (NCR) during the imposition of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) from August 6 to August 20.

The latest Omnibus Guidelines approved by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) have allowed the continued operation of public transportation, at such capacity and supply as recommended by the DOTr.

Secretary Tugade, however, stressed that only Authorized Persons Outside Residence (APORs) as identified by the IATF-EID will be accommodated by public transport services.

While roaming around the city, you found a great spot and said, ‘This will look good in my feed.’ You strike a pose and take a ton of selfies; you even ask a stranger to take a photo of you with that nice background.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a long day, you go to you instagram feed, click the plus sign, look for the best photo from the pool of selfies -- you know the drill. Haha! Only to find out you can’t remember where it was taken. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To save you from this headache, use your phone’s geo-location to tag where photos were taken.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can also help organize your photos by location.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you recall any similar incident you wish you could take back? Let’s talk about it. 😊️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Every once in a while, we experience setbacks that hinder us from reaching our dreams. When you are facing what feels like a dead end, what do you do? Do you just accept the loss or do you find other ways to fulfill it?

Often times, it all boils down to your drive. How much do you want your dream to become a reality?

When you feel like giving up, pray & think about the reason why you started.

Even in the new normal, booking your next trip is just 5 steps away.
