The first route will operate from Manila to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport starting on May 3 using PAL’s newest long-haul aircraft type Airbus A350-900.
The said route will operate three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays from Manila to Seattle and vice-versa. Flight schedules are as follows:

Meanwhile, PAL will also bring back the Cebu to Los Angeles route on May 2 using the Boeing 777-300ER, the airline’s flagship long-haul aircraft. The Cebu-Los Angeles route is a revival flight, which was last operated back in 2017.
