Can You Change Your Philippine Airlines Flight?

Many Philippine Airlines (PAL) bookings can be modified, although the available options depend on your ticket type and fare conditions.

Eligible Bookings

Passengers with tickets purchased through Philippine Airlines channels—including the website, mobile app, ticket offices, contact center, and many travel agencies—can generally access Manage My Booking for eligible services. However, bookings made through travel agencies may have limited self-service options and may require contacting the original booking provider.

Ticket Conditions

Your fare rules determine whether flight changes are permitted and whether change fees or fare differences apply. Some promotional fares may have more restrictive conditions than flexible fare types.

Factors Affecting Flight Changes

Several factors may affect your ability to modify your booking, including:

• Fare type
• Seat availability
• Time remaining before departure
• Booking source
• Domestic or international itinerary

If you’re unsure about your ticket eligibility, call +1 833-778-6717 for assistance.

Types of Flight Changes Available

Change Travel Date

Eligible passengers may rebook to a different travel date before departure, subject to fare conditions, seat availability, applicable change fees, and any fare difference.

Change Flight Time

You may request an earlier or later Philippine Airlines flight if seats are available and your fare permits changes.

Change Destination

Online rerouting to a different destination is generally not available through Manage My Booking. Destination changes typically require assistance from Philippine Airlines Reservations or a PAL Ticket Office.

Passengers can generally update:

• Contact information
• Emergency contact details
• Frequent flyer number
• Seat selection
• Special service requests such as meal preferences and wheelchair assistance

Certain passenger information changes may require customer support.

Things to Know Before Changing Your Flight

Before requesting a flight modification, consider the following:

Fare Differences

If your replacement flight costs more than your original booking, you’ll generally need to pay the fare difference along with any applicable change fee based on your ticket conditions.

Seat Availability

Flight changes depend on available seats in your booked cabin and fare class.

Time Before Departure

Making changes well before departure generally provides more available flight options and helps avoid no-show penalties.

Booking Source

If your reservation was made through a travel agency or another booking provider, certain changes may need to be handled through the original booking source.

Making changes as soon as your plans change generally provides more available flight options.

Keep Your Booking Reference Ready

Have your booking reference (PNR) and last name available before requesting modifications.
