Step-by-Step Guide on How to Get Refunds on Philippine Airlines
Requesting for refunds on Philippine Airlines is pretty easy as you don’t need a lot of steps to do it. The problem right now, however, is the time of processing.
Step 1: Send your booking details to any of these email addresses:
- [email protected] – This is for flights booked on the Philippine Airlines website.
- [email protected] – For domestic flights
- [email protected] – For international flights.
Step 2: In your email, put your booking details including the booking number, flight number, passenger name, and travel dates.
Step 3: Just wait for PAL’s response.
If you bought your ticket directly to PAL, just visit any of their ticketing offices (see the ticketing office list here). You can also contact them directly, just call (02) 8855-8888.
If your ticket is issued by a travel agent, just directly contact your travel agency.
If you paid using your credit card, the refundable fee will be credited back to your account. If you paid in cash, it will be refunded in cash as well.
Please note that not all fare types are refundable in Philippine Airlines. To know if your fare offers refunds or not, just check PAL’s fare conditions here.
We understand your frustrations regarding this matter. Refunding, rebooking, or rerouting flights as of this moment really takes time. Currently, airlines are having a hard time assisting all the queries coming from travelers. And because of that, Philippine Airlines released a request for passengers:
“We respectfully request you to consider deferring any requests for rebooking until after 12 April 2020, in view of the strict social distancing required by the quarantine measures; we expect a high volume of queries and transactions at the Ticket Office as well as the Hotline, and we ask you to bear with us as we deal with the challenge of handling an unprecedented number of canceled flights over this quarantine period.” – PAL

My PAL flight had an engine failure on November 21st, 2019.
We achieved PAL “refund status” in January 2020.
Nearly six months after the failed flight, PAL has stopped responding and I’ve never seen a dime of the thousands of dollars I gave them for the worst airline experience of my life.
Good luck getting a refund.
I’m not convinced this company will be around long enough to honor a travel voucher.
Pag mag pa refund may kaltas pa po ba ulit un?ilang bwan bago makuha ang pera?
Thank you Fatima. This article is so informative. My wife Raquel was able to send an email to PAL for a refund request for her May 14th YYZ to MNL trip. Calling their Global Hotline is an ordeal itself as one hour had passed and no one answered.
