Increased flight service from Seattle to Manila

According to Philippine Airlines, the service will embrace new Tuesday and Thursday flights beginning on November 25, 2025.

The transfer comes after the inaugural launch of its nonstop route to Seattle, which it announced last 12 months, and is the only direct airline hyperlink between the Philippines and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

“We are focusing strongly on developing this growing market to help Americans plan their vacation trips to the Philippines and other Asian countries, to open up more opportunities for businesses to build up commercial activities, and for Filipino Americans to reunite more often with their families back in the home country,” Philippine Airlines President Richard Nuttall said in a assertion.

Philippine Airlines also says the added service also permits vacationers to more simply join to the airline’s intensive community of flights across the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and the United States through its service companion Alaska Airlines.

“Our decision to increase frequencies to Seattle highlights the importance of the U.S. market to the Philippine Airlines global network, and in particular the great value of Seattle as a gateway, not just to the Washington and Oregon areas, but to cities across the United States that we can now serve through our ongoing partnership with Alaska Airlines,” Nuttall added.

With the added service to Seattle, Philippines Airlines now serves eight locations in the U.S. and Canada including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, Honolulu and Guam.
