PAL to revive seasonal Manila-Sapporo flights
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced Tuesday the return of its seasonal nonstop Manila-Sapporo flights, which the carrier said it will operate every winter season from November to March.
In an advisory, PAL said the Manila-Sapporo flights will operate thrice a week using the Airbus A321neo aircraft from November 24, 2025 until March 27, 2026, and will operate every succeeding winter season moving forward.
Flight PR 406 will leave Manila every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30 a.m., and arrive at the New Chitose Airport in Sapporo at 12:15 p.m., while flight PR 405 will leave Sapporo at 1:15 p.m. the same days, and arrive in Manila at 6:10 p.m.
The flight will have 12 seats in business class and 156 seats in economy class, with inflight entertainment options and wifi connectivity.
'This route not only provides a convenient travel option for Filipino tourists and overseas workers, but also opens doors for Japanese travelers to explore and experience the Philippines' vibrant culture and warm hospitality,' PAL president Richard Nuttall said.
Aside from Sapporo, PAL also offers services to Osaka Kansai, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Tokyo, Haneda, and Tokyo Narita, including direct flights from Cebu to Osaka Kansai and Tokyo Narita. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
