MANILA 8 August 2025: Philippine Airlines is reviving its seasonal direct service between Manila (MNL) and Sapporo (CTS), Japan, effective 24  November 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline served the  route from 2018 to 2020 when it suspended the seasonal flights due to the COVID pandemic <\/p>\n\n\n

Three weekly flights will be reinstated during the upcoming northern hemisphere winter season that runs from 24 November 2025 to 27 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight Schedule <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAL will operate flights on the  Manila-Sapporo route three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays using a 168-seat Airbus A321neo aircraft, configured with 12 business class seats and 156 economy class seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PR406<\/strong> departs Manila at 0630 and arrives in Sapporo at 1215.
PR405<\/strong> departs Sapporo at 1315 and arrives in Manila at 1810.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAL\u2019s press statement says reinstating the route is a strategic move to strengthen its presence in the Philippines-Japan geo-market. \u201cIt provides a convenient travel option for Filipino tourists and overseas workers, offering direct access to Hokkaido, a popular winter destination known for its skiing resorts and the famous Sapporo Snow Festival.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAL already has a comprehensive network of flights to other major Japanese cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
