dave, that one with the 747, is it really davao?

[MarkiiBoi]

just my observation ha, parang hindi yata, kasi in other pics there are no plants in front of the terminal. at parang wala yatang banner or ad sa side na yuu ng aerotube.

[KulasKusgan]

mukha ngang hindi. centennial yata.

paulkrps,

this pic shows the 747 at the davao international airport.

for verification, on the lower left hand corner of the plane, you can see the old terminal of the dia.

I guess this pic was taken in davao...i heard citibank has just opened up a branch in Davao that's why they are 'advertising'..if you notice to the far right upper corner, the hotel in lanang (i forgot the name) is partly visible. the decorative (?) plant is not hanging outside but is inside the glassed ramp...correct me if I'm wrong.

so guys, is it servicing a regular sked to davao? but seeing that size in davao would be a welcome sight.

Hi Paul,

Yup. PAL uses 747s to service MLA-DVO flights. Even Cebu Pacific uses their big Airbus. Remember the BAC-111s (PALJet)? As a young kid I used to be impressed by the Rolls Royce engines used by PALJets. I equated it to the car kasi.

Aaaah..Right! Air Manila and Filipinas Airways. Was it Air Manila that had a small lounge in the cabin where you could have your beverages standing up as if in a bar? I remember when we would go to Manila (as kids), my parents would never be on the same flight. One batch would fly PAL the other batch would fly Filipinas.

yes, the filipinas orient airways. i can still remember that they would even allow you (the mirons, the makisalubongs) to stand by at the tarmac. oh how times have changed.

this pic was taken at the naia 2 centennial terminal. the building that u see in the upper right hand corner is not the grand regal hotel, but a building in bicutan or merville, or multinational. there are no plants inside or outside of the dia terminal so with the dia ramp.

do they serve in-flight meal on LCC flights e.g. ceb pacific?

i remember flying with ATA (LAX-Wash.DC (ronald reagan airport?) -LAX), no meals were served during the three/four hour flight, however there were sandwiches sold on board... i dont want to be flying on an empty stomach hahahaha
