It aims to further increase its market share by expanding its US network both through direct\/indirect flights and codes-haring. <strong>PAL has picked Chicago, Houston, and Las Vegas strategically as these cities house hundreds of thousands of Filipinos.

Starting in 2025, the airline will welcome Airbus A350-1000s into its fleet<\/strong>. Equipped with state-of-the-art Rolls Royce engines, the A350-1000 is bigger and more powerful than A350-900,\u00a0 which makes it suitable for some of the world\u2019s longest routes. Also, these aircraft have better fuel efficiency, provide ample space in premium travel cabins, and accommodate more passengers than A350-900, thereby reducing the seat-mile cost by 15-25%.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<h4>Look no further than <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ieagle.com\/usa\/flights\/us-to-ph\/\">iEagle.com for USA to Philippines best flight deals<\/a><\/span>. iEagle, the most trusted air-ticketing partner of Filipinos in America, books <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ieagle.com\/cheap-flights-to-philippines-ph\/cheap-flights-to-manila-mnl\/\">cheap airline tickets to Manila<\/a><\/span> for both nonstop travel on Philippine Airlines and one-stop flights with EVA Air.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philippine Airlines (PAL) is stretching its wings to fly high and far into the world map, especially the US.
