From the 1st October Philippines Airlines will Codeshare with Etihad Airlines from London to Manila. The London to Abu Dhabi is with Etihad airlines. And the Abu Dhabi to Manila is with Philippines airlines. Flying time from London to Abu Dhabi is 7 hours. And Abu Dhabi to Manila is 9 hours. And at this time Philippines airlines have the most low return fares from London to Manila at £540 Return. Anyone know if this is for real?
PAL has an existiing codeshare agreement with Etihad for flights between Abu Dhabi and Manila all of which are operated by Etihad.
Sounds interesting maybe to avoid the issues some non phill airlines have had with fees when operating from phill airports?
