Philippine Airlines (PAL) has introduced a series of promotional fares featuring deep discounts off regular rates to major Southeast Asian destinations ahead of the peak Christmas travel period.
A special round-trip, economy-class fare of $118 is being offered on PAL services to Bangkok, Singapore and Jakarta, for ticketing until Oct. 31, 2008.
While the rate is valid on all PAL flights between Manila and Bangkok, only specific flights to Singapore (PR 501/PR 502 and PR 505 / PR 506) and Jakarta (PR 535 / PR 536) are covered by the promo.
The Bangkok promo is valid for travel until Nov. 25, 2008 while for Singapore and Jakarta, travel must be completed by Dec. 5, 2008.
