Philippine Airlines Business Class Review: Great Service, But…?

🛫 Book a Boeing Airbus A330, get… a Boeing 777-300 instead? That’s exactly what happened on my Philippine Airlines flight an unexpected downgrade that swapped a full-service widebody for a single-aisle narrowbody. But how bad is the reality once you’re onboard? 💺 In this video, I compare what I booked vs. what I actually flew: Philippine Airlines’ flagship Boeing 777-300ER versus their regional Airbus A321. From cabin layout and seat comfort to inflight service, entertainment, and overall vibe, I’ll show you where the downgrade stings — and where PAL still manages to shine. 🎬 This is part expectation vs. reality, part survival guide: what happens when your “premium” long-haul ticket turns into a regional narrowbody ride? And is it still worth flying PAL when equipment swaps like this can happen? 📍 Flight Details: 🛫 Route: Shanghai to Manila to Bangkok 📅 Flight Date: Oct 2024 🛩️ Aircraft Types: Boeing 777-300ER | Airbus A321 🪑 Seat: 3K | 6K 🔢 Flight Number: PR 337 | PR 730 💬 Have you ever been downgraded to a smaller aircraft at the last minute?
