Philippine Airlines

[London_Manila]

When I am traveling on a plane, I like to watch the inflight map and see whereabouts we are.

What I don't want is to be informed where Mecca is every 5 minutes with an arrow.

The Philippines is not classed as a Muslim country so why does Philippine Airlines do it?

I have no problem with Middle Eastern airlines doing it and expect it from them anyway.

Remove this offensive arrow Philippine Airlines, or I will go back to using Cathay Pacific and watch their inflight maps with no arrows.

[grahamw48]

Couldn't agree more.

Why the hell any normal civilised person would want to
have any part in this primitive nonsense I have no idea.

It's bad enough being 'forced' to eat halal meat on Muslim airlines.

[tiger31]

Well said that man :smile:

[KeithD]

Why the hell do people get so wound up about such little things? :Erm:

[tiger31]

It,s called pandering to the minorities

[lordna]

Why the hell do people get so wound up about such little things? :Erm:

My thoughts exactly!...live and let live!

[SimonH]

It makes commercial sense :smile:

At a guess, for every one person getting wound up because of an arrow on a screen, and then saying they'd rather spend an extra 5 hours getting to their destination so they wont be offended by an arrow, there's a lot more that will chose to fly with them because the arrow is there :Erm:

[KeithD]

Their is an arrow on a local one way street... I just ignore it :biggrin:

[lordna]

The Philippines is not classed as a Muslim country so why does Philippine Airlines do it?


5% of population is Islamic, 80.9% Roman Catholic, 4.5% other Christian, 2.8% Evangelical, Iglesia ni Kristo (2.3%), Aglipayan (2.0%), Other (1.8%), Unspecified and none (0.7%)

So after Roman Catholics, Muslims make up the next biggest group....perhaps that's why they show a little arrow pointing to Mecca?

[Dedworth]

5%** of the UK population is Muslim and there is already excessive kowtowing to them - I'd avoid any British airline that used such markers.

** Muammar Gaddafi 2006 - "There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe - without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million muslims of Europe will turn it into a muslim continent within a few decades." Obviously this few decades will reduce if the EU admit Turkey

[KeithD]

It's all down to the software provider, and where their flights go.

I have a much bigger gripe with a little Filipina having to pay for 2kg excess luggage, when a 150kg US woman behind her pays nothing extra. :crazy:

[bigmarco]

Arrows aside what did you think of PAL as I've booked to go with them in July

[grahamw48]

'Little Arrows'...by Leapy Lee ? :biggrin:

[Longweekend]

Arrows aside what did you think of PAL as I've booked to go with them in July
Went with them last month, flights on time, food good, in-flight entertainment good, attendants good, only gripe were the small seats, if your tall the headrest sits at the top of your back and not your head!! all in all a good service and I would definitely fly with them again....:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:
But do not even think of staying at the Manila Airport Hotel....:NoNo:
Oh and the arrows didn't bother me, in fact they cheered me up knowing Mecca was getting further away..:biggrin:

[sars_notd_virus]

Arrows aside what did you think of PAL as I've booked to go with them in July

All very good :xxgrinning--00xx3:
especially the beer , proper beer :biggrin:

Why the hell do people get so wound up about such little things? :Erm:

I agree. Unbelievable! It's not as if they're interrupting a movie to show it!

Love it Keith that saying so my wife charged £240 for 6 kilos extra with Emirates :Brick:

[London_Manila]

Why the hell do people get so wound up about such little things? :Erm:

I have no interest in where mecca is, so why should I be reminded where it is every 5 minutes?

I am sick of having any religions rammed down my throat and Airlines pandering to these religions makes it even worse

[London_Manila]

Arrows aside what did you think of PAL as I've booked to go with them in July

Apart from being told where mecca is every 5 minutes they were great

[London_Manila]

My thoughts exactly!...live and let live!

Airlines from Muslim countries do it and Philippine Airlines is just following them (wrongly)

Flights from Manila to the middle east there might be a good case for doing it

Flights to any other non muslim country then this should be removed

I am sure most European and American citizens dont want to see this when the happen to try and find out where the plane is in the sky

[London_Manila]

I agree. Unbelievable! It's not as if they're interrupting a movie to show it!

I suppose you dont mind being forced to buy halal meat in your local supermarket also !

[London_Manila]

5% of population is Islamic, 80.9% Roman Catholic, 4.5% other Christian, 2.8% Evangelical, Iglesia ni Kristo (2.3%), Aglipayan (2.0%), Other (1.8%), Unspecified and none (0.7%)

So after Roman Catholics, Muslims make up the next biggest group....perhaps that's why they show a little arrow pointing to Mecca?

Only 5% of the population are muslims then thats an even bigger reason for the Philippines national flag carrying airline not to do it

Surely its not needed anyway as most muslims carry a compass around with them

[London_Manila]

It makes commercial sense :smile:

Actually flying with Cathay Pacific is a quicker way of getting to Manila from London
CX252 -CX907

Cathay Pacific don't seem to need it so why should Philippine Airlines

[Michael Parnham]

What is the Muslim population of Philippines and how many use Philippine Airlines? Also have you ever thought that the airline is trying to pick up more business by encouraging more Muslims to fly with them by catering for their needs, just my thought!:Erm:

[KeithD]

Halal meat.... Dead is dead. Regardless of how an animal dies for us to eat it, we are still killing it.

Most of the meat in the Philippines is not killed humanely, as defined in the EU, most just bleed to death while awake.

So any westerners worried about arrows and meat, should fly with another airline, and become a vegetarian while in the Phil to ensure that they have nothing to moan about. :biggrin:

Well said!.....i have seen a few pigs and chickens slaughtered in the Philippines only to turn up later as the main meal. Didn't worry me then and I doubt if it will in the future.

[Dedworth]

:iagree:

This is all part of the creeping islamification of the Christian/Western world encouraged by bleeding heart liberals and the toxic left

[bigmac]

maybe some bright Branson type will launch vegetarian airlines--with planes painted bright green to look like a flying cucumber

I don't mind how they kill the animal

Halal meat is for Muslims so I want to eat non Halal meat

Any Halal meat sold is the UK should state Clearly on the packaging that it is Halal

Supermarkets think the public don't mind or care.

I strongly disagree

Try telling that to a muslim and see if they can eat non halal meat

[Michael Parnham]

Try telling that to a muslim and see if they can eat non halal meat

Would they be able to tell the difference by taste alone?:Erm:

[KeithD]

Would they be able to tell the difference by taste alone?:Erm:

Nope. And if they are not present during the kill, they have no idea the way it died. The same way we had no idea horse was in the food.

[London_Manila]

Would they be able to tell the difference by taste alone?:Erm:

No, for me it's ridiculous any religion telling you what you can and cannot eat :ReadIt:

[London_Manila]

I am flying with Philippine Airlines again in June and if I see that offending arrow informing me in which direction Mecca is I will summon the head of on-board services and inform them I want it removed

It would be easier if they removed you at 36,000ft :icon_lol:

There are usually two map options on new planes these days. One does not have the arrow. That's the way it was on Qatar anyway.

Wouldn't be surprised if forums like these weren't monitored by airlines when their name crops up to get some feedback. Could be that some passengers might be refused boarding if the airline thought they were going to make a fuss during the flight :Erm:

I would think that Philippine Airlines customer service is a bit better than that

Of course they will want to prove that they cater for non muslims also

The customer is always right remember :wink:

After all--the great majority of filipinos are Catholic---so why not an arrow pointing to the Vatican--as well--to be on the safe side.

I could understand it and accept it if the Philippines was a majority muslim country but it's not

[mesmo]

I have travelled with them about 5 times now on the long haul from Heathrow to Manila and I guess my only "observation" is that they are not very attentive during "dark hours" when people are sleeping and others like me who cant sleep on any moving form of transport aren't. Also when you press the "call a flight attendant" button, sometimes you can wait for a long time before they arrive.

On Emirates, the flight crew regularly walk round with a tray of either water, apple or orange juice for those that are still awake...... it makes such a difference to your comfort


OH!! I do have one rant!! Why do flight attendants insist on putting the pat of butter UNDER the hot meal??? Twice now in attempting to butter my roll I have had liquid butter pour onto my T shirt when I have been attempting to open it

[junior02]

I used Philippine Airlines as didn't want a stop over with kids.

That's the only good thing the non stop. The rest was bad. Food was worst I have ever had on a plane. The plane was dirty - old food under seats - also smelly. 1 of my kids got a rash - we all were scatching from seats. No amenity kits, no kids meals. We ordered no drinks or snacks, the cabin crew were not that friendly towards us.

I won't be using them again - only my return to UK. I would sooner have stop overs and fly with a good airline.

Even Kuwait and Saudi are better than Phil Air.

Next time I will go with Thai, Singapore, Malaysian or Etihad

[grahamw48]

Yuk....thanks for letting us know. :smile:

Don't think I could bear sitting on a plane for more than 8 hours or so without a break anyway. :NoNo:

[bigmarco]

Booked with them for July. I usually go Cathay because I love their service but decided to give PAL a go just to see. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered :Erm:

[grahamw48]

I was looking at Singapore airlines flights last night...Manchester to Manila.

Then I noticed they call at Munich before Singapore.

No way will I ever in my life board a plane carrying a bunch of drunken ignorant Germans again. :NoNo:

[stevewool]

I have a budget in my mind and I will not go above that but I will gladly go below it. Pus, I think like you Graham, I do need to get off after 8 hours

Sorry to read of your experience with PA, 5 x of us travelled over and back In April and everything was fine for us, good food, courteous staff, good in-flight entertainment only small complaint was the size of the seats....

When are u flying in July? I fly last week of July.

[Arthur Little]

Being tall, I need AMPLE legroom ... and so ... :yeahthat: would be a BIG consideration for me, I'm afraid!

[grahamw48]

Same for me Arthur.

What a difference it must make if you're 6 inches shorter.

[Longweekend]

It's not so much of a leg room problem, it's just that the back of your neck seems to be 6" above the top of the headrest....:cwm25:

I have used Philippine Airlines twice now and I find the service great :smile:

Stop overs for me are a waste of time and you can get delayed on those layovers

I dont miss falling in line for another security check at Hong Kong Airport either

Direct flights with Philippine Airlines can be had for less than £600 and for me that's a bargain!

These flight are proving popular anyway outbound and inbound were both 95% full (June)

Flights departed and arrived on time both ways

All airline food sucks anyway and Philippine Airlines food is not better or worse than the other airlines

I found on Emirates they never did any drink runs and when I asked for a drink (non alcoholic) all they could provide was a single miniature can of coke!

Changing planes at Dubai Airport is not nice and that airport is far too crowded

A380 was great but you only get that to Dubai

Emirates were ok but nothing special and even a bit overrated

I'm very surprised you had no complaints with the food, coming from the person who started this thread complaining about a little arrow on the tv screen:Erm:. I would agree airline food is not great but I've managed to eat it on most airlines but not on Philippines. My wife does not want to fly them again anyway, she wants to use Thai or Singapore again...

I actually found the food on Philippine Airlines not that bad at all
I make sure I have a full English breakfast before I board any flight and then i don't get high blood when the choice of meal provided by the airline is not available "sorry sir we only have fish and noodles left"

I normally take a goody bag with me anyway Pringles jaffa cakes and more chocolate

Never board a long haul flight hungry and take your own supplies......

Why would your wife want to waste her time in Bangkok or Singapore when she can fly directly?

[grahamw48]

Haha...big lunchbox full of sarnies for me, bananas, plus bags of crisps, biscuits, etc. No way I'm going to starve...or part with a single penny in ripoff airports. :icon_lol:

...and never had an airline meal yet that wasn't better than the muck I cook. All greedily gulped down. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Shalegirl]

I would have thought that PAL would be more customised to Philippine tradition and it's dominant religion which is Catholicism. They should probably turn it down a little bit like maybe flash it every 4 hours? I agree with you and would find this annoying too.

[Trefor]

I dislike all airplane food, with the single exception of the Gü chocolate desert and ice creams served on Virgin in the past.

I dislike the food too, but British Airways on the way to Scotland a few years back had a nice selection of edible food....

[Michael Parnham]

I find that whatever airline I've travelled with serves too many meals, so I always skip one meal and just have tea coffee or fruit juice instead! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[London_Manila]

Airline food normally goes along these lines

A rock hard white crusty roll with deep frozen unsalted butter
A horrible pasta starter that few people even attempt eating
Main course is always over salty with plenty of skin
A sickly kind of mousse desert

Snacks later noodles normally Nissin chicken variety

Cathay Pacific leave a soft drinks trolley outside their galley
You just go and help yourself and it has plenty of nice snacks also

On my last trip with Philippine Airlines i went to the galley and asked if they had anything sweet to eat

The air hostess looked at me with amazement and said no we don't have anything sweet but I can give you a packet of peanuts!

[grahamw48]

I eat every last delicious crumb of it, and also save any tissues, salt and pepper etc, that are left at the end. :smile:

Obviously some of you have never experienced poverty. :cwm3:

If I lived in Tondo and I had to scrounge around for food everyday then maybe airline food would be ok.

The problem is I don't.

I am not expecting 3 star Michelin restaurant quality food on an aircraft. Something more than stodge and salt is surely not too much to ask for.

The mass produced meals provided by the likes of "Gate Gourmet", I find uninspiring, dull and bland to the point that I have to bring my own provisions along.

I bring my own provisions too, AND eat all that is put in front of me.

I am also grateful that in real terms the airfare to Manila is a fraction of what it used to be.

Perhaps those who require meals in keeping with their gourmet palette can pay more ? :xxgrinning--00xx3:

If the business class airfare was double the economy fare then I would be happy to pay it

Its normally more than 3 times the economy fare which I feel is unreasonable

Premium economy is not worth the extra for what you actually get also

I will continue to use "cattle class" along with my own provisions of course :wink:

[sars_notd_virus]

I love Philippine Airlines!!

Flew with them twice this year April and July
take note:
No Delays ( 13hours London-Manila) - (11 1/2 hrs Manila to London) how good is that ??
Food?? ... I am not a BIG eater of airline foods, they are the same as hospital foods in my opinion!!
but
I indulged with nice drinks : Beer and Whiskey and a big bottle of mineral water as it hydrates me and make me go to the toilet more often to ease my boredom during the fiight.

There seems to be mixed reviews over PAL I,ve just looked at another forum on the topic and most of the comments are very negative - like never fly with them again kinda stuff. I think I,ll stick to Cathay Pacific as I can,t fault them yet.

Did they served FISH?? :cwm25: ... I don't think so!

Thats a great price Michael, we are still looking for flights but still nothing up to much at this moment

Look on the thread title "Where are the cheap flights" I made a mistake on Philippine Airlines Harry I read it wrong. Just check out the thread I've mentioned here and call 'Philippine Island Connections'.
