  1. The reading lights in business should be changed to a flexible type rather than the fixed one.

  2. The economy 3-3-3 seats are just horrible!. When you are more than 5'7" in height your head will touch the wall panels of the aircraft!

    1. Thanks for your feedback. This will be helpful for the airline to adjust their cabin arrangements in the future.

  3. I wonder when Philippine Airlines, currently under management of Gilbert Sta. Maria, will reconfigure the remaining "Ramon S. Ang Airbus A330 configuration" of Philippine Airlines' Airbus A330-300 into more comfortable seats.
