PAL offers free one-way domestic ticket scheme

MANILA, Philippines -Philippine Airlines has brought back its promotional-fare scheme that offers a free one-way domestic ticket for every such ticket bought.

In a statement released on Thursday, the flag carrier said the “Buy 1, Take 1" promo is applicable to all PAL domestic services, including regular jet flights between Manila and 17 local points, as well as PAL Express turbo-prop flights from Manila and Cebu.

Also included in the promo are four PAL Express services to be launched on July 15, 2008, between Manila and the following provincial points – San Jose, Occidental Mindoro; Virac, Catanduanes; Calbayog, Samar; and Surigao City, Surigao de Norte.

Those traveling on a regular PAL jet service to a Luzon point need pay as low as P2,148, inclusive of air fare, fees and surcharges, for a one-way ticket.

To a Visayas point by jet, the total outlay is as low as P2,876 one-way, while to a Mindanao point, it goes as low as P4,188 one-way. For PAL Express turbo-prop flights, the all-inclusive payment comes to as low as P1,986 one-way.

In return, the passenger gets a wholly free, one-way ticket, with zero air fare and all the attendant fees and surcharges waived. The complimentary ticket can be used for the return journey or for another one-way flight to any PAL or PAL Express domestic point.

The free ticket may also be issued in the name of a passenger other than the holder of the paid ticket. A confirmed booking is required for both paid and free tickets, which must be issued together.

The promo deal can be availed of at PAL ticket offices or accredited travel agents until July 7, 2008 only. It is valid for travel between July 15 and October 15, 2008. A limited number of seats is covered by the promo. GMANews.tv
