They don’t really offer a return flight to Manila but they still offer them to passengers. That is a straight up lie and causes inconvenience. Honesty is important, but seems like this airline doesn’t know what that is. The make people buy their flights, then change it right when you get to your destination. For tourists/visitors like us who have their days planned, they ruin everything for us. And what? All they offer is a shuttle to Manila from Clark. And I heard this is not the 1st time they did it, apparently they’ve been fooling and lying to passengers since who knows when. I guess we’re lucky they didn’t change our travel date to Manila, they just changed our airport. And it’s not like a 30mins drive from Clark to Manila. What a shame. NEVER AGAIN. To anyone reading this, DO NOT BOOK WITH AIR SWIFT.

I enjoyed the flight. It was comfortable and not too long flying back to Manila. Crew were friendly and helpful.
My return was overbooked and they asked passsengers to give up their seats with compensation. As I returned from ElNido, I was disappointed that they offloaded luggage without discretion. Our bags was returned on the next flight. This policy is unacceptable.
It was okay not much else they could provide for a short flight
Boarding and flying on time is the most important need of passengers they did that
Everything was very good but seats are small for a big man!
Well, I needed to make a change to my flight and I called the airline and they said yes no problem $700 and we can do that and I agreed to it so they canceled my tickets and went to rebook and came back after being on hold for an hour and a half and said I’m sorry, sir. There was an error. It is $2800 Now and I said never mind. I will just use those flights and she proceeded to tell me that they already canceled them because I said I was interested in doing the change. I told her yes for $700. I was fine with doing a change but not $2800 so give me my tickets back and she proceeded to tell me that she could not do that and I had to pay the $2800 to get my tickets back that I already spent $2800 on. So I had to book tickets on another airline to get home And that cost a lot of money too. I’m a little pissed off at Philippine airline right now because of what they did to me and I’m not sure I ever wanna fly with them again. I’ve flown with them plenty in the past, but this just really put a bad taste in my mouth.. Not to mention on my way there leaving Seattle going to Vancouver. I got to the airport three hours in advance and they had booked me through Alaska Airlines to do that little trip. My connecting flight would leave about six hours after I got to Vancouver BC. I stood in Alaska Airlines lying for a little over two hours and then they proceeded to tell me that they couldn’t check me in because I wasn’t there an hour in advance. I kept telling the lady at the beginning of the line that I was afraid they were not gonna let me in because it was taking so long and she said oh don’t worry about it. You’re fine you’ve got time. Well I ended up spending $600 to get to Canada that night just to make my connecting flight because Alaska air wouldn’t do anything and Filipino Air told me it was Alaska air problem but Alaska air said since you booked through Philippine air, we can’t fix it. I had about 50 minutes to make my flight, but they refused to check me in because I wasn’t there an hour in advance yet. I’ve been standing in their line for about two hours and 15 minutes.
reach the standard, crew tried to fix up issues fast.
Overall the flight was a good experience. It is different from American Airlines because they board the back of the plane first rather than the front first. Food was decent. They gave out pillows ,blankets , and face masks. I did find this airline had faster flights back home than others. Less travel and layover time.
The flight was fantastic and the crew was absolutely excellent, but the entertainment system on the B777 was not working. That's a long time to spend with no electronics. The crew offered I-Pads but I had brought my own. I am only pointing this out because this is the second flight on Philippines Air where the entertainment system was down. FJM
The checking in agent tried to give me a different seat. She tried to give me an economy seat even though I had already checked in with a seat assigned and paid an extra $300 for those seats. She also separated our seating assignment. Very unprofessional and seriously a bad example for an agent. She was rude when I showed her my receipts and she made us wait more than 15 minutes before we were able to get the right boarding passes and correct seats (seats that we paid for in advance)!!!
Terrible check in and food was like from fast food
Delayed, from morning flight, they moved to evening. And said, their earlier flight is already full but we can upgrade the seat
I thought the meals and meal choices were excellent. The cabin staff was helpful and as is the norm for Pinays, extraordinarily empathetic.
My flight got canceled and I nearly missed my connecting flight to el nido because of this . So I had to get up at 4am to catch a ferry to cebu and travel 7 hours to the airport I am not happy at all
No priority boarding (travelling with a toddler) and the flight was 4 hours late.
Their online check-in system was offline so the lines at the counter were extremely long. Making our connection was also very unpleasant as there were no priorities for boarding (basically a free-for-all) and since I was travelling with my toddler we had a very hard time. The connecting flight was also 4 hours late.
We were charged an additional $54 usd per passenger to board, not mentioned in the ticket.
