PAL Now Flies to Seattle Five Times a Week from Manila

Philippine Airlines is expanding its Manila to Seattle route from three to five flights weekly starting November 25, 2025, offering more travel options for Filipino-Americans, balikbayans, and leisure travellers. This move reinforces the airline’s commitment to strengthening its North American network and providing greater convenience for those flying to and from the US West Coast.

With this expansion, PAL remains the only carrier offering nonstop flights between the Philippines and Seattle. It’s the top choice for travellers heading to Washington State and nearby areas for family visits, tourism, or business.

The updated schedule includes new Tuesday and Thursday departures, bringing the weekly total to five flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. These added frequencies aim to serve the rising demand from both passengers and cargo clients, especially during the upcoming holiday and winter seasons.

Beyond just passengers, PAL is also boosting trade and logistics by increasing its cargo capacity to 40 tons per week on the Manila–Seattle route. This makes it easier for businesses and balikbayan boxes alike to reach their destination on time, especially with the holiday rush fast approaching.

Each flight will continue to use the Boeing 777-300ER, which accommodates 370 passengers, 328 in economy and 42 in business class. Expect long-haul comfort, in-flight entertainment, and the signature warm hospitality of PAL’s cabin crew.

Through its frequent flyer partnership with Alaska Airlines, Philippine Airlines offers travellers smoother connections to other US cities via Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This collaboration enhances Seattle’s role as a key gateway for Filipinos travelling across America. Whether you’re headed to California, the Midwest, or the East Coast, it’s now easier to reach your final destination. For those relocating or exploring opportunities in the US, this expanded access brings added convenience.

For PAL, increasing flights to Seattle goes beyond improving capacity. It’s about strengthening ties with the global Filipino community through better, more accessible travel options.
