Philippine Airlines advises passengers on its
domestic and international services departing Manila to check-in
much earlier than usual for their flights to avoid the
inconvenience of long queues during the peak summer travel
period, starting with the Holy Week.
For passengers’ benefit, PAL’s check-in
counters at NAIA Centennial Terminal 2 will open as early as
1:00 a.m. for domestic flights and 3:00 a.m. for international
services daily until further notice.
Passengers are normally required to check-in
at least two hours ahead of their flight, but the extraordinary
volume of passengers this summer season, coupled with the strict
security checks, has resulted in long queues at the airport.
Accordingly, PAL now requires passengers on
its domestic flights to check-in at least three (3) hours ahead
of published departure time.
On international flights, the recommended
check-in time is four (4) hours ahead of published departure
time.
Meanwhile, PAL will operate its full schedule
of international and domestic services on most days of the Holy
Week in order to serve the needs of the riding public during the
busy Lenten holiday period.
Normal schedules on all sectors will be
followed on Holy Thursday (March 20) and Easter Sunday (March
23).
The exceptions are Good Friday (March 21) and
Black Saturday (March 22), where a slightly reduced schedule of
domestic flights will operate, alongside a full timetable of
international flights.
