Flights to California, Seattle drive up PAL's holiday bookings
The Philippine Star|October 13, 2024
SEATTLE — Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expecting a bountiful Christmas this year thanks to forward bookings to the US, especially to destinations in the West Coast.
By ELIJAH FELICE ROSALES

In an interview with reporters here, PAL vice president for sales Bud Britanico said the airline foresees a busy Christmas on strong demand for US flights, especially to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.

Britanico said the bulk of holiday bookings to the US usually come from Filipinos who travel to high-demand cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which PAL reaches on a daily basis.

Now that PAL has opened a Seattle service, Filipinos would have another option when going to the West Coast, particularly to the American Midwest. Further, travelers going to the Philippines would have an alternative jump-off on top of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
