PAL Flights from Manila to Doha

Senior vice president David Lim of PAL’s Commercial Group said at a press conference in Doha “It is the conservative way of doing business and making sure the airline does not jump into the water without the necessary equipment. By doing the via Abu Dhabi, we are making sure that we are reaching our fellow Filipinos the best way we can do profitably.”

The flight to Qatar will be 5 times a week except on Wed and Sun; the flight will use an Airbus 330 plane. The PAL flight cabin has free Wifi access, entertainment to watch movies or tv shows, listen to music, or read magazines.
