Whether you’re hitting the surf in Sydney, chilling in Brisbane, or soaking up Melbourne’s artsy vibes, PAL’s non-stop routes from the Philippines to Australia have you covered with more options and fewer headaches. 

PAL's Brisbane and Perth routes are flown with Airbus A321neo aircraft, while Sydney and Melbourne services utilize widebody A330s. This means that if you're flying business class, all flights feature full-flat Business Class seats and seatback inflight entertainment screens in all classes.

This isn't going to be Philippine Airlines' last Australia-Philippine flight expansion. Tourists and business travelers to the region can expect more nonstop flights to make their Aussie trips more seamless, with as few to no layovers as possible. 

"We are poised to intensify efforts to promote tourism between the Philippines and Australia as we invite more travelers to discover the wonders of our beautiful country of more than 7,000 islands and the renowned friendliness and hospitality of the Filipino people," says PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Capt. Stanley K. Ng. 

Don't worry, Spotters. We'll keep our eyes peeled for you in case new flight updates drop.

As of writing, Philippine Airlines currently has flights to 36 destinations in Asia, North America, Australia, and the Middle East. In addition to international hubs, the Philippine flag carrier also flies to 32 cities all over the Philippines.
