    We assure you that your current tickets are safe and remain valid. We have enhanced some of our polices to give you more flexibility due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, and uncertainties of travel.


    For your safety including those around you, travelers who test positive for COVID-19 are not allowed to board in any Philippine Airlines flight or visit any of its offices (PAL Ticket Offices, Cargo Offices, etc.). For your convenience, you can make changes to your bookings through our Reservations Hotline or myPAL Request Hub, with more details found under this page.


    What are your options for changes to your booking?

    If your flight is affected by cancellations or travel ban (from February 2, 2020 to October 31, 2021), you can:





    Convert to a Travel Voucher and get more value for your ticket.

    Equivalent to the unused net value and unused taxes of your ticket PLUS 10% of the unused net value. The unused net value refers to the unused base fare net of commission and other charges/fees. This benefit is available only among passengers who have not made previous changes to their booking. Initially valid for 1 year and can be extended for another year. Travel is subject to fare rules of the redeemed ticket. Click Travel Voucher for the complete terms and conditions.




    Rebook or Reroute your ticket.

    When should you request for changes?

    If your flight is affected by cancellations or travel ban (from February 2, 2020 to October 31, 2021), processing of initial request will be allowed even after the community quarantine period, and even after your original flight. 


    If your flight is not affected by cancellations or travel ban, and you’re opting for voluntary changes, rebooking must be done before flight departure and according to the fare rules of your ticket to avail of the free rebooking, or at least 24 hours for refund requests to avoid no show fee. These apply for tickets issued until December 31, 2021. 

    How can you make changes to your booking? 

    If you booked through the PAL Website, mobile app, Reservations Hotline and Ticket Office, submit your rebooking, travel voucher, and refund requests from the comfort and safety of your home through myPAL Request Hub.

    You can also submit requests through our PAL Reservations Hotline and Ticket Offices.

    How can I refund my ticket?

    If your flight is affected by cancellations or travel ban (from February 2, 2020 to October 31, 2021), you are eligible for a refund without penalties. If your flight is not affected by cancellations or travel ban, we’re also offering you the option to refund your ticket subject to fare rules. The refund may be subject to applicable penalties depending on the schedule, status, and issuance date of your ticket.

    We are experiencing some delays in processing due to the unusually high volume of refund requests we have been receiving. This is because of the abrupt changes in passengers’ travel plans brought about by the restrictions imposed for International and Domestic travels. We continue to work on improving our processes to address this.

    Your refunds application requests may be submitted through our PAL Ticket Offices, our myPAL Request Hub or our PAL Reservations Hotline. You will be given a Refund Application Reference Number upon initial application of your request.
