PAL, AirAsia expect bookings to increase

PHILIPPINE Airlines (PAL) and AirAsia Philippines are expecting travel bookings to further intensify as fuel surcharges for domestic and international flights continue to drop.

"Any form of reduction in air travel costs is a big help for all our guests as they can allot this to additional baggage allowance or pasalubongs (gifts) — which can be particularly helpful for people traveling on a budget or for families traveling together," Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs country head, said.
