Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Manila to Los Angeles 
CarinaFlew with Philippine Airlines-Jul 2026
NAIA check-in gate was smooth & quick. Be alert for gate changes ... my gate was changed only to find myself in a gate for Bangkok because the airport crew did not give clear instructions. A second security screen done at the original gate for carry-ons which I've not encountered before.
DavidFlew with Philippine Airlines-May 2025
Airport departure is a zoo. You have to show documents of travel just to gain entry. Confusing inside but staff very helpful in getting you lined up where you need to be. Immigration and security screening typical however when you arrive at departure gate you are not allowed to bring any drinks into the gate area and it is a long dry period until first service onboard. You can leave the gate area but must go through secondary screening again to return to the gate waiting area.
Verified travelerFlew with Philippine Airlines-Feb 2024
Do not Fly Philippines air it will more then likely be late/cancelled has happened multiple times to me whether going to LA or Honolulu… best bet is to fly to Japan or Taiwan first then continue to USA
