    Philippines Airlines — Excess baggage ereceipt not provided for 2 months

    I purchased excess luggage on my flight from kul to mnl on 1 mar online and have been requesting for my ereceipt for excess baggage for the past 2 months. Each time I call the help hotline, they ask me to contact a different email and none of those emails send any sort of acknowledgement or estimated time for when the received can be provided.

    Ive also called the hotline atleast 6 times and all they do is ask me to continue to send the same followup emails. For an airline that advertises itself as a 5 start airline, this is unacceptable service!

      Philippine Airlines — Unable to reach customer service!

      I purchased 2 tickets for my wife and son a couple of hours ago and saw that the salutation said MR for my wife. I'm simply trying to change the salutation but it's been 1 whole day but still no answer. The annoying piano classical music just keeps on repeating. I've had issues with their service before but had no choice due to certain issues in the world right now. I would like to request a refund but can't even get a hold of 1 person but this damn music! I know there's a rule about 24 hours to get a refund. Unfortunately, they won't answer your call to make sure you surpass your alloted time. Bad business!

          Philippine Airlines — Flight ticket to Japan

          I am sick and really scared to go to Japan now in this corona virus situation. I have been calling the customer care to resolve the issue everyday and your team does not care. They are not willing to refund or waive rebooking fee for future flight. I would appreciate if you really care about human lives.

              Every airlines is giving refund or atleast waiving the rebooking fee but Philippines Airlines refused to do that. ANA, United, JAL all gave back the ticket purchase price . PAL does not care about if passengers die due to corona virus.

            Philippine Airlines — Flight Steward Service

            This is Atty. Paisalin P. Tago, a registered passenger of flight 2522 from Cagayan de Oro to Manila this morning of February 24, 2020 at 1130am flight. I am filing a formal complaint against one of your flight steward crew under the name of Mr. Ong for inappropriate behaviour and such acts inimical in the service of your clienteles. The fact is that Mr. Ong has threatened to offload me in the flight or transfer me to another. I could have argued to him on his authority but my action can create commotion or scene and it my delay the departure of your plane which can affect some passengers in the plane. I am sitting qualifiedly on the exit as i have been doing before. My seat number is 10c. Mr. Ong is very arrogant, rude and discorteous in his approach to me. Hence, this formal complaint. If needed be, a confrontational meeting can be made with him to determine the veracity of my complaint. My email add is [protected]@yahoo.com.ph
            Praying that this complaint will be acted upon the soonest. Thanks...

                Philippine Airlines — I will never fly philippine airlines again!

                We arrived timely at the airport on the night of our flight from Manila back to the states, We checked in, went through security, and sat in the waiting area when suddenly Philippine Airlines made the unilateral decision that I and my family would need to be bumped from this flight and take a future flight. My kids had to sleep on the airport chairs all night while we waited for the ticketing office to re-open the following morning. When they did re-open, they decided that in order to put us on a new flight, we would need to pay a change of flight fee of $2, 000. If it was Philippine Airlines decision to have us take a new flight, why are we paying this fee?!!! I asked to escalate the matter, and their manager / supervisor was conveniently out of town for the next week. So we either spend a week in Manila (a place where none of us knows anyone) or we pay an extra $2, 000 to get out of the Philippines. This is extortion, plain and simple.

                    Philippine Airlines — seat assignments

                    I booked and paid for seat assingments 52H, 53H, 53J & 53K
                    but when we boarded, we were given 33C, 51H, 53H and 53J. Hence, 2 of my family members were seated somewhere else. The 33C was so far away and she was very uncomfortable sitting there for 17 hours. The family member who was seated at 51H also was uncomfortable a row down and close to the bathroom and no place to put her stuff under her seat.

                    Please explain how the seat assignments were re-assigned, the reason and if we can be compensated for the inconvenience and refund for the additional amounts paid.

                          My sister booked an online ticket for my parents to Australia, from Dipolog City Airport to Manila International Airport, they had connecting flight, but suddenly the Philippine Airlines cancelled the flight on that day, that's why my sister had to booked another flight for my parents in order to reach their connecting flight from Manila to Melbourne Tullamarine Airport. We are asking for the refund but they kept on pushing us to different offices to claim it. I just don't understand why it's hard for them to refund the said amount while in fact they are the one who cancelled the flight.
