The country's flag carrier has slowly started resuming its flights last June. PAL began servicing only around four percent of its total operations as the country remained under quarantine regulations.

Today, PAL has resumed much of its domestic flights. These include stops in Siargao, Davao, General Santos, Bacolod, Roxas, Cagayan de Oro, Pagadian, Ozamiz, Legazpi, Butuan, Cotabato, Zamboanga, Kalibo, Caticlan, Dipolog, and Cebu, to name just a few.

Furthermore, PAL eyes to increase the frequencies of flights to domestic destinations starting this month.

“We may have to cancel flights, add frequencies or adjust our planned schedules, based on evolving quarantine restrictions and entry requirements set by the Philippine authorities and local government units (LGUs),” PAL said on its website.

PAL has also launched a promo where customers can book one-way flights to domestic destinations for as low as P588 and covering the travel period from November 16, 2020, to September 30, 2020. The promo though will only be available for booking starting today, November 6 until November 8.
