Introductory fares for the new route will run from April 2 to 30
MANILA, Philippines – Philippine Airlines will start flying nonstop between Manila and Seattle starting October 2, 2024, becoming the first carrier to offer direct flights for the Philippines and the US Pacific Northwest regions.
The Seattle route will serve the bustling Pacific Northwest region, which is home to some 240,000 Filipino-Americans. Washington state also has the United States’ fourth-largest Filipino population, according to Port of Seattle Commissioner Toshiko Hasegawa. Ng also highlighted that several big corporations also have headquarters in the Seattle metropolitan area – including Amazon, Starbucks, Microsoft, and Nintendo – which means that establishing a route to the Philippines could stimulate business between the two areas.
Seattle is now PAL’s eight route in North America. The flag carrier currently has 46 weekly flights to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York, Toronto, Honolulu, and Guam.PAL still maintains the largest network of nonstop flights between the Philippines and the US, but the Philippine-based full-service airline is not the only player in town anymore.
