  1. Rich foreign passport owner problems, naol!

    I feel bad for them though, but they could have shown proof or dovumentation that temporary passports are allowed. Or should have consulted with the embassy in advance.

    1. 11:24 why do they need to consult? They were given temp passport so they could fly.. that’s the purpose of temporary passport.. ano un kumuha ka temp. For ID purposes?!? Pls use your common sense

      Delete
    2. They knew it was allowed, the Pal checkin manager insisted they called the embassy to verify it isnt, later they found out that the manager didnt make any call

      Delete
    3. 1124 no they dont need proof. PH immigration officers should know foreign policies

    4. 1:44 te di nga nakarating ng Immigration kasi di binoard ng airline!

    5. Para saan ang temporary passport kung hindi magagamit? Ako nga nakapasok ng ibang bansa several times with NO passport at all or visa. Dala ko lang e travel document. Hindi gumawa ng due diligence yung PAL employee. Sisantihin na yan!

    6. I had experienced PAL cabin crew worst attitude I was pregnant that time I brought very small hand trolley bag which is not even 7kgs I was lifting and ask for help of cabin crew to push the bag i already started the lift he answered me why are you still carrying carry on luggage when you know you are pregnant 😂in improper tone

      Delete
    7. 11:24 what proof you are talking about? Hindi ba that’s immigration officers’ job??? To know all these policies!

    1. Same here 15 yrs ago pa ako then nung umuwi ako this year naulit emergency kasi. Worst airline ever di na ko uulit. Napaka incompetent na ground staff. Cancelled ang flight then it took them 6hrs para ma rebook kami then yung new flight delayed so naiwan na naman kami ng connecting.

  9. Last year ganyan din nangyari sakin - nirebook nila ako without checking my connecting flights!!! NEVER AGAIN TO PAL- PAK AIRLINES

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I work in the airline industry (not in PAL). Out of curiousity po - were you holding split tickets? (since you mentioned connecting flights). If yes, PAL is only responsible for their flights. If not, and everything is under 1 ticket (including I'm assuming other airlines?) Then yes responsibility ni PAL to rebook all flights.

      Delete
    2. true. sometimes pag nagbook ka ng flight online using search engine, they will give you options with few details lang. so you really have to check if you're booking a split ticket(which means same procedure with check-in, getting your baggage sa carousel and rechecking it again) and all). or if your connecting flights are with 2 diff airlines, most likely balik ka sa step 1

      Delete
    3. How was PAL supposed to know that you had connecting flights?

      Delete
  10. Ano yun nag power trip yung manage? Hindi ba niya naisip na may connection yan sila sa Japanese Embassy at puwede din sila mag check?!

    1. True, kahit ako yan gagawin ko ichecheck ko sa embassy o consulate kung may nagverify. Although siempre di ganyan kabilis ang timeline ko

    2. sa tingin ko tumawag naman kaso matagal sa queue kaya binaba agad

      Delete
  11. Minsan yung mga nasa check in counters limited lang alam sa mga passport, visas, etc. so if you know na pwede yung visa mo, insist on it and i eelevate nila yan. My daughter has a temporary resident card sa Portugal tas hindi na recognize ng check in agent (not PAL) kaya nagtanong pa sya sa mas nakaka alam and pina check in kami after some consultations. Went through immigration din tas wala naman problem sa kanila.

    4. @1159, residence card is different from passport.

    5. Yung point lang naman ata ng OP eh dapat ipilit or insist mo yung visa/passport/whatever your're holding kung alam mo naman na pwede kang makalipad with that kasi hindi lahat alam mga ganyan for all countries.

    1. Hindi sinabi emergency. Ang sabi temporary. So maybe may validity na 1 year din u can use it with that time frame.

    2. 12:18 you must be thinking of emergency visas which have 1 year validity para makabalik sa home country. temporary passport po ang in question dito.

      Delete
    3. It's a 2 year validity. Ganyan nangyari sa min kasi naabutan ng expiration. Canada embassy can only issue a 2 year validity passport. Pero naka travel pa din kami sa ibang bansa with that passport hindi lang para makabalik.

      Delete
    4. Same thoughts. Ang alam ko ang temporary passport is only used for emergency travel or urgrnt purpose. Hindi laging one year ang validity nya, depende sa reason ng pag issue. Highly irregular for someone to use a temporary passport for leisure travel.

    3. It's not about the ticket, it's about the passport.

      Hindi magagamit ang Phil passport kasi if so, kakailanganin ng visa. E wala naman visa upon arrival.

      Kaya yung temporary Canadian passport ang gamit, na ayaw naman irecognize ng check in desk, na nagsinungaling pa na vinerify nya daw.

      Kung ticket lang yan I'm sure maiiisip nilang bumili agad agad, kagaya ng suggestion mo.

  26. May tinatawag na timatics kung saan nag re-refer ang mga check in agents pag may concerns regarding visa and passport issues ng pax. If hindi clear i re refer yan sa station ng airline (country of destination) and sila yung magtatanong sa immigration doon if accepted ba ang pax based sa kung anong documents ang hawak. Hindi na handle ng maayos ng PAL. Dapat before mag deny sa px chineck nila mismo sa immig ng Japan. Safe sana sila kung ni refer nila yun and in case na totoong hindi acceptable, pwede nila yun ilagay sa pax comment na denied due to blablabla. Nako goodluck nalang sa mga agents

  32. I will never fly with PAL again. Yung mga crew seem like they are competing with Filipinos living in other countries especially US or maybe those who travel for leisure.
    My brother in law asked one of the crews to help him put his carry on, kasi siksikan at wala ng room sa carry on nya, sabi ba naman, “you can do it yourself.” Gosh! Really? So rude!

      Delete
    12. Simply because it is NOT their job to put up passenger’s carry on. Not at all. Dami na nainjure na crew sa pagtulong na naitaas ang carry on to the extent of losing their job as cabin crew. And di sila inggitera! I have 2 kids working as cabin crew!

    1. Dual passport holder US & PH ba si tita? Did she present both passports? Sa passport stamp dapat "BB" status meaning Balikbayan & she can stay longer. If she presented only 1 passport (US), wag po magagalit kasi maximum stay 30 days lang talaga. Based on your comment 2:17AM, former Filipino citizen kamo si tita so hindi dual passport.

      Ganyan nangyari sa tito ko na dual passport holder - no problem with him, Balikbayan status. Pero kasama nya pinsan ko (son nya) na US passport holder & they had to go to Immigration to extend my cousin's visa.

    My family and I were bumped off with inconsistent reasons na hinde nila maipaliwanag. I travel a lot that's why I know that this has been an airline's scheme for many years. It just annoys me how much they can get away with this so easily without any repurcussions from the stress and inconveniences na dala nila sa mga customers nila compared to the way they compensate us.

  35. Can also vouch - unfortunately sobrang daming issues ng PAL for Melbourne to Manila flights. Mas reliable na nga cebupac. Pero hindi naman ok plane ng cebupac - hindi na r recline seats and lahat add on. So mag stopover nalang.

    Maraming cancelled flights, pahirapan tumawag sa hotline nila, tas nung narebook na, puro wrong information - sabi bibigyan kami lounge access pero pagdating dun, di daw nila alam, tas nalaman namin dinowngrade kami from premium economy to economy (boarding pass says business) during boarding!! Sabi we will get compensation pag board, wala. Sabi pag dating ng melbourne, wala. Tas we pre ordered yung my PAL flavour meals - pag dating samin di daw nila alam. At worse, naubusan na kami ng options so vegetarian nalang.

    Tas hindi lang kami during that flight ang na downgrade - marami.

    Imbis na relaxed and masaya holiday, kakailanganin mo mag deal sakanila. Sobrang stressful. Lalo na pag tawag. Mahirap na nga maka pasok tas pag aantayin ka tas minsan babagsakan. Sobrang nag mamakaawa na nga kami sakanila wag bagsakan, pero binabagsakan pa rin. Naka roaming kami nito.

    Masisira talaga holiday mo pag nangyari sayo ito. Kaya kami rin di na uulit sakanila. Nakaka trauma.

    I know na nangyayari ang mga issues sa lahat - pero sila walang inoffer na solution, kundi sorry.

  39. 50/50 on this. What if there was a sudden change in immigration rules and there’s restriction on her daughter’s passport.

  42. PAL n nman grabe ginawa nila sa friend ko at family nya ng pauwi ng US. Cancelled flight nila tapos yung customer service wlang wenta. Nagparebook at nagbayad pa ulit sila sa hotel kasi naiwan na sila ng plane. Doble gastos nila pero never sila kinausap ng PAL customer service. Never na kayong sumakay sa knila dami ng reklamo sa knila.

  44. Good riddance (hopefully) dun sa check-in manager. Imagine ilang beses na kaya niya ginawa yung ganyang klaseng pagsisinungaling sa mga passengers ng PAL?

  45. The very fact they already knew that the manager really did not call the embassy speaks volumes. The rich and influential have friends in high places, and it's not as if they're breaking the law or not adhering to the policies. The daughter got left behind to begin with.

    If they're in the right, the manager should be ready for the consequences.

  48. I used common sense in analyzing their scenario based on what Small laid out in her vlog. So pwede naman pala na sila ang nag-validate on their own with their connections on rules for onboarding passenger using temp 🇨🇦 passport. This would have been avoided if even before they got to the check in counter sila mismo they can insist with proofs of validation that a temp passport from countries like US, CN and EU is accepted for entry in JP. Ang burden of securing and ENSURING you have all the necessary and required docs for entry admission to any country is with the passenger and not with the airlines. Whether this is PAL or other airlines, the same risk of being advised that temp passport is not accepted can still happen or occur. Simply because ipinasa mo sa ibang tao ang pag-interpret nung rules and regulations na kung ikaw mismo naiintindihan mo, sigurado ka at nag-due diligence ka YOU could have insisted right to their face in that counter na they are wrong because ikaw mismo ginawa mo ang assignment/part mo to mitigate such scenario from happening. Using temp passport always has risks attached to it. Pwede dun tayo sa situation at scenario mag-comment kesa sa iba ibang non related issues na di naman relevant or related sa case ni Small. Yes me mga kapalpakan ang PAL, given na yan. Pero sa scenario na ito na ikinuwento thru vlog, lets be fair to all sides. Happy New Year mga ka-Marites!

    2. Indeed. Alam mo hawak mo and the power of what you're holding. Insist on it.

    3. Yes, absolutely agree with this. Always make sure to bring dupporting documents when using something that is not the norm. In this case, a temporary passport.

    4. Yes andami dito comments ng bad experiences nila sa PAL na wala man lang konek sa pinagdaanan ng anak ni Small.

  50. I remember last year while we were in Manila. I received an email from PAL telling me they moved our returned flight to a month dahil checking maintenance daw. aalis na dapat kami nun in a week, syempre galit ako at kinausap ko ang PAL. Wala akong tulog nun at may nangako sakin na secure nila ako ng flight at iemail daw sakin ang confirmation. inantay ko wala yung confirmation, wala...sa galit ko sumugod ako sa airport, may PAL office dun. Tapos yung rep dun sabi wala daw reservation na nangyari..buti nalang may iscreenshot ako ng chat convo ko sa PAL rep online. nilaban ko talaga. in the end nakakuha kami ng seats pero the process of getting this..sobrang stressful.. talagang ayaw na namin mag PAL.
