Looking beyond the Philippines? PAL is also slashing prices on international flights. For as low as USD 45 (PHP 2,610) round-trip, you can fly to select Asian destinations. Imagine spending a weekend in Taipei, shopping in Hong Kong, or enjoying local eats in Kuala Lumpur, all at a fraction of the usual cost.
For those dreaming of longer hauls, PAL is offering discounted flights to Australia and North America. Travel from Manila to Sydney for as low as USD 450 (PHP 26,100), or head to Toronto, San Francisco, or Brisbane for less than you’d expect from a full-service carrier. Other routes like Clark, Bacolod, and Iloilo to Taipei are also part of the deal.
As the country’s flag carrier, PAL offers not just low fares, but also full-service inclusions such as check-in baggage, onboard meals, and heartfelt Filipino service. The Independence Day Seat Sale is available in economy class, giving every traveller, from solo adventurers to OFWs and families, the chance to fly in comfort.
The booking period runs from June 2 to 15, 2025, and travel dates are valid from June 2, 2025, to January 31, 2026. Celebrate your freedom by exploring the country or heading abroad. With these unbeatable fares, there's no better time to take a flight with Philippine Airlines.
