| Route | Freq/wk | Hours | Cluster | Market low |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangkok (BKK) → Manila (MNL) | 35× | 3.3 | D | ฿5,852 |
The market-low column is the cheapest fare in our Travelpayouts cache on that corridor across all carriers, not a Philippine Airlines-only price — use it as a floor when comparing.
A network across many countries means many rulebooks. Philippine Airlines’s corridors in our catalogue touch 1 country: Philippines. Each has its own regulator, so passenger rights attach not only to the airline but to the country the flight departs from. Two flights on the same airline can carry completely different entitlements.
The airline selling the ticket may not be the one flying it. Our catalogue records the carriers that appear on a corridor, including cases where one sells as marketing carrier on a partner’s aircraft. On a codeshare your baggage, seating and compensation rights attach to the operating carrier, not the name on the booking. Read the “operated by” line before assuming what you will get.

Non-aligned does not mean no agreements. Philippine Airlines sits outside the global alliances, but many unaligned carriers hold bilateral interline or codeshare agreements — enough for through-checked bags and re-routing. The reliable test is whether the whole journey can be issued as one ticket. If it can, an agreement exists behind it.
That 6/10 is our own score. Brand strength is an editorial assessment by our team for the Thai market, used to decide how deeply we cover a carrier. It is not a safety rating, not a punctuality rating and not a service score from any independent body. We say so here so you can weigh the number correctly.
Philippine Airlines network & booking
Philippine Airlines’s network in our catalogue covers 1 corridor, based at Manila (MNL). Cached fares across them run from ฿5,971 (BKK–MNL) to ฿5,971 (BKK–MNL). The bases we record for it are Manila (MNL). The checked-baggage baseline we record is 23 kg.
In this catalogue Philippine Airlines’s network reaches 1 destination across 1 country — Philippines. Most corridors serve ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. All fares are shown in Thai baht (THB); compare live prices and schedules for each city pair on the route pages, and infant fares run about 10% of the adult fare. The lowest fare in our cache across this network is about ฿5,852 on BKK-MNL — prices move with season, so check live fares before booking.
Our catalogue is not the airline’s full network. We build guides only for corridors relevant to travellers from Thailand. Philippine Airlines may operate many routes that never appear here, so an absent corridor is not evidence the airline does not fly it. Check the official schedule when planning anything that does not start in Thailand.
Passenger rights & compensation
Philippine Airlines appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. Philippine Airlines is registered in Philippines and answers primarily to Philippines CAB Air Passenger Bill of Rights. The common misreading is that rights travel with the airline. In practice they change first with the country the flight departs from.
Philippine Airlines passenger protection is governed by Philippines CAB Air Passenger Bill of Rights — covering care, rerouting and refunds for cancellations/long delays. There is no fixed EU261-style cash schedule; check the regulator’s official terms before filing.
Baggage runs on a separate legal frame. Liability for baggage lost, damaged or delayed on an international journey sits under the Montreal Convention 1999 where both states are parties. Caps are denominated in SDR and revised periodically, so only the current figure is usable. Crucially this is independent of delay compensation: you can have no compensation claim and still have a baggage claim.
Collect evidence from day one. Whichever frame applies, the burden of proof sits with the passenger. Keep every boarding pass, the airline’s own delay notice or message, receipts for food and accommodation while you waited, and the actual arrival time against the scheduled one. Most rejected claims fail not because there was no right but because nothing documented what actually happened when.
How Philippine Airlines fits travellers
Philippine Airlines appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. Philippine Airlines’s corridors in our catalogue distribute across passenger clusters as: ASEAN & regional leisure (1). The split is computed from our own route data, not from the airline’s marketing. Those corridors reach 1 destination in 1 country.
Philippine Airlines’s catalogued routes matter most to the ASEAN & regional leisure segment(s). Its Manila (MNL) hub(s) are the main transit points. Compare schedules, baggage and fares against other carriers on the route pages before booking.
This split describes our catalogue, not the airline’s passenger mix. The labels are assigned at route level in our own data, from the dominant demand pattern we associate with each city pair, not from any carrier’s traffic figures. A corridor can be tagged leisure while half the cabin travels on business. Read the label as a guide to what this page chooses to explain, never as a claim about who is sitting next to you.
Sector length changes what is worth paying for. Of the 1 Philippine Airlines corridors where we record a block time, 1 run under four hours and 0 run seven hours or more. Short sectors turn on departure time and baggage; long ones turn on the seat, the catering and what happens if the flight is cancelled. A seat fee that is poor value across two hours is usually sound value across ten.

Philippine Airlines in our fare record
Across 8 weekly fare captures on corridors Philippine Airlines serves, the code PR appears as the carrier holding the low 0 times — 0%. Those corridors reach 1 destination in 1 country. Our own Thai-market brand-strength score for it is 6/10.
Why a weekly cadence misses promotions. We capture once a week per corridor, so a promotion that opens and closes inside a few days can go unrecorded entirely. That means this series systematically under-counts how often exceptional lows occur. Read it as a picture of price level, not as a deal-catching instrument.
What this measures, and what it does not. We capture each corridor’s lowest fare once a week and record which carrier code that value was attached to. The 0% figure therefore says how often this airline surfaced as the cheapest option in the window we observed. It does not say whether the airline is expensive or cheap on average, and it says nothing about what the others charged that week. A low share is not evidence of a high price.
FAQ
How many routes does Philippine Airlines fly in the SiamFlights catalogue?
Philippine Airlines (PR) serves 1 route relevant to travellers from Thailand in our catalogue.
What is Philippine Airlines’s checked-baggage allowance?
A 23 kg baseline. Always confirm on the official site before travel.
What alliance is Philippine Airlines in?
Philippine Airlines is non-aligned.
Which regulator oversees Philippine Airlines?
Philippines CAB Air Passenger Bill of Rights, by country of registration. But passenger rights are set first by the country the flight departs from — anything leaving Thailand sits with Thailand CAAT.
Does the Philippine Airlines infant fare include a seat?
No. The roughly 10% rate applies to a lap infant with no seat of its own. A separate seat makes it a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare.
Is the low-fare column Philippine Airlines’s own price?
No. It is the cheapest fare our cache recorded on that corridor across every carrier serving it. On a multi-carrier route the low may belong to a competitor.
