    Non Stop Flights to Manila at last!

    It cost £335.00 to fly Manila to London or about £750 both ways.

    The flight is between 14-15 hours and PAL say leave 07:00 Manila arrive London for afternoon tea at 14:15!

    I hope they put Manchester on the list, as at the moment for us Northern folk, it is still classed as indirect

    I don't mind a lower standard of service on direct flight, as I am paying for the convenience and not the service.

    Too right !

    Then again, it's probably worth a few hours on the flight not to have to mix with a load of Southerners/illegal immigrants/Romas.

    Yeah... those flights from Heathrow to Birmingham can be terrible for that

    Awful long time to be on a plane mind. Did the flight from Amsterdam to Joburg at one time, which would be similar. I guess it's better than the stop over though, hmmmmm

    Exactly what we thought, better to get there than kick around in some airport for hours....

    Yes, that's a long time. I wonder why
    Anyone know ?

    I'd have thought around 13 hours.

    Just over 13 1/2 hours is longest non-stop flight I've taken in economy class.

    I do like the idea of non-stop to Manila but I'd like to hear some reviews before taking it.
    I'm pretty sure a 15 hour non-stop flight can easily stretch to 16 or more hours in those darn seats.

    Philippine Airlines have no agreement to fly over Russia so thats why these flights are taking so long
    Their present routing is the long way over India up past Dubai and then on to London
    Flying the China/Russian route should shave 2 hours off these flight times

    So lets hope they can sort this out sooner rather than later..........

    PAL flights are full of cute little 5 foot ladies needing my help to stow their bags in the overhead lockers.
