The Philippine Airlines (PAL) has acquired its first Boeing 777-300ER aircraft following its delivery flight from Boeing’s headquarters in Seattle, Washington.

The extended range jet is the first 777 to join PAL's fleet and is one of two leased 777-300ERs the airline will use for major international routes like Hong Kong, Tokyo (February 2010) and Sydney and Melbourne by mid-March 2010.

To celebrate the arrival of PAL's newest and most technologically-advanced aircraft, the airline is offering a new low-fare promo on selected domestic destinations. These domestic routes will be flown using PAL’s current fleet of Boeing 747s, Airbus A340s, A330s, A320s and A319s.

Fares as low as P777 are available for a limited period between Manila and 11 domestic destinations: Laoag, Legazpi, Puerto Princesa, Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, Kalibo, Tagbilaran, Tacloban, Dumaguete and Roxas.

Eight Mindanao destinations, meanwhile, have fares as low as P1,777: Davao , Cagayan de Oro, Cotabato, Dipolog, General Santos, Zamboanga, Ozamiz and Butuan.

The all-in inclusive of VAT, one-way fares are on sale from November 19 to 25. Travel period is between December 1 to 25, 2009 and February 1 to March 25, 2010. The promo tickets are non-refundable and not eligible to earn miles with PAL Mabuhay Miles. (EHL)
