Philippine Airlines, the country’s flag carrier, has just released its full schedule of operational flights for the rest of August 2020, after Metro Manila has been placed back under General Community Quarantine (GCQ). The list covers domestic and international routes.

❗️IMPORTANT❗️ This post was last updated on August 18, 2020. Because the status and schedule of flights change quickly during these extraordinary times, make sure to check with PAL first for possible adjustments. Visit their official website or Facebook page for the latest updates.

In addition, contact the local government of your origin and destination for the most recent restrictions and requirements before booking a flight.

International Flights

Note: Some flights bound for Manila may be rerouted to Cebu or Clark due to limited COVID-19 testing slots in the capital. In this case, rerouted passengers will need to undergo testing and quarantine in Cebu or Clark, where they will wait for the result, which usually takes 24-48 hours. If negative, PAL will arrange the transfer to Manila.

Before booking, always check with the government of the country of destination for the latest list of requirements and restrictions. Some may have recently updated their policies.
