I didn’t see this one coming.

Philippine Airlines to Join oneworld Alliance

Will be nice to have another airline in the region.

They don’t fly to Europe which is a bit of shame however.

Definitely didn't see this coming at all. I realise that joining an alliance probably wasn't ideal when financially precarious, and PR had been that for a very long time, but wow...

Hope this doesn't make CX too uncomfortable as an alliance member that it may push them out of ow and into *A.

So the new ow lounges at MNL will be Mabuhay Lounges? They'll need to step up their game.

I wonder how CX feels about it?

Well this just made the huge dump of PAL reward seats a little more interesting, though I’ve heard NAIA is a bit of an ‘experience’ to transit through?

Also interesting that this seemingly came out of nowhere when it seemed like Starlux would likely be the next Asian OW carrier…
