My First Flight in the Philippines Was Not What I Expected 🌧️✈️ (PAL Express)

Join me on a domestic flight in the Philippines — flying Manila to Panglao/Bohol on a PAL Express A320, the low-cost arm of Philippine Airlines. I had no idea what to expect from Terminal 2, baggage rules, or the onboard experience… but it turned out to be quite the experience. From last-minute weather warnings to surprisingly strict luggage checks and a very memorable ride through typhoon-season skies, this one-hour hop became a lot more interesting than planned. I’ll show you exactly what flying PAL Express is like right now, how the boarding and ground experience actually works, and what I found along the way.
