Philippine Airlines (PAL) will operate non-stop flights between Manila and Doha beginning March 26, as part of the airline's efforts to enhance its product offering to the overseas Filipino community.
The service will operate four times weekly -- every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
PR 684 departs Manila at 1:30pm and arrives in Doha at 6:00pm local time while PR 685 leaves Doha at 8:00pm local time and touches down in Manila at 10:00am.
The fleet for the route will be 414-seater Airbus A330 with economy and premium economy classes from March 26 to July 14 and bi-class A330 with full-flat beds in business class starting July 15.
"The non-stop service will give us a better product to offer to some 230,000 Filipino workers in Qatar. Aside from the convenience of this direct service, passengers can experience in-flight service with the 'heart of the Filipino', marked by warmth, care and hospitality," said PAL President and COO Jaime J Bautista.
Passengers will have the option to enjoy wireless in-flight entertainment by downloading the myPAL Player app for free, which streams a wide selection of movies, TV shows and music to laptops, tablets and smartphones. Staying online is also possible while on board with myPALWi-fi which allows passengers to surf, browse and keep in touch with their loved ones and friends.
In-flight services include a selection of Asian and Continental cuisine and a wide array of beverages. Each passenger is entitled to free baggage allowance of two pieces, weighing not more than 23 kilos each.
