Airline overview
Philippine Airlines announced in June 2026 that it has accepted an invitation to become oneworld's 16th member — a pending accession targeted for sometime in 2027, which will make it only the second full oneworld member based in Southeast Asia (after Malaysia Airlines) and integrate Mabuhay Miles into global oneworld mileage pooling. The airline currently flies non-stop business class from New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco to Manila on its A350-900/A350-1000/777-300ER/A330-300 widebody fleet. Mabuhay Class on the A350 is a genuine lie-flat reverse-herringbone product.
Founded in 1941, Philippine Airlines is headquartered in Philippines and operates to 73+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Airbus A350-900, Airbus A350-1000, Airbus A330-300 and Boeing 777-300ER for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Philippine Airlines operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.
The business class experience
Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Class features Lie-flat reverse herringbone (A350). Seat width is 21 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Philippine Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on Philippine Airlines: Filipino and international cuisine. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: Mabuhay Lounge (MNL). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at US airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, Philippine Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“Watch for the oneworld accession completing sometime in 2027 — a real, upcoming upgrade to lounge access and mileage flexibility, not yet in effect as of this writing. Non-stop service from the US is a genuine practical advantage. The A350 product is very good. Filipino hospitality is warm and consistently praised.”
