Philippine Airlines: Flying the Heart of the Filipino to Nagoya (flight review)

I have traveled the world since 2011 and this was my first flight with PAL since 2018, when I flew with them to my first visit to Cebu. Philippine Airlines  is the flag carrier of the Philippines and also Asia's first and oldest airline (its long history dates back to 1941 and continues to shrine through until today!).

Updated June 6, 2025, to reflect new changes on PAL's baggage allowances for trips to Nagoya.
