Philippine Airlines fare increase....?

Question

Howcome PAL increased round trip air fares from $1,000-1,500 to $3500??? Is it all because of the oil price hike or is it just a technical problem in their online booking?? I can't believe it! The price just doubled!

Answer 1

no way!  that's a glitch in their system.  i'm sure if you check again tomorrow the correct prices would be displayed.

Answer 2

its because of the oil crisis but to say from a thoyusand bucks geez man.. the're stealing already go and check and double check it prior to submitting your payment details

Answer 3

There is no technical problem. The increase is due to the oil price hike and THE SEASON. You should be aware that Christmas season is fast approaching so the demand  for plane ticket is high. It's wise to book a flight well in advance.

Answer 4

3,500  u.s. dollars must be for mabuhay class(pal's business class). if not, they must be joking.

Answer 5

It's just a technical problem. It appears that the online booking facility only displays regular full fares at the moment. Since the new website has been rolled out only today, I think the IT/website people are still ironing out the glitches.

I am SURE that there are still cheaper rates than the ones that the system shows now. In fact, PAL has lots of various promo fares now, if you check out the other links in the website. :)
