hindi pa ako nakakasakay ng eroplano. lmao. dapat pala PAL ang una kong sasakyan. no. 1 kasi.
ur still in my list don't worry. have a great weekend. drop u ec!
parang Zest-o naman iyong Zest Airways hehehe!Nasakyan ko na yan pero Asian Spirit pa ang name noon:)
@ red: really? napaka-busy mo kasi eh, try mong mag-bakasyon with your loved ones one of these days. Go somewhere far na kailangan mong mag-airplane. Uso ang tipid-fares ngayon. Take advantage!
@ ria: thanks!
@ me: guess what? yung may ari ng zest airways at zest-o ay iisa! yaman noh?
dapat pala palitan din ang pangalan ng cebu pacific ng Chippy Airways kasi may ari din sila nun! hehehe... just thinking out loud!
PAL in the 70's to the early 90's was one of the best in Asia, pero sadly kulelat na talaga tayo. Palagi na lang Singapore and Thai Airways! BUt be proud din, kasi Cebu Pacific is rated as one of Asia's best low cost airlines!
this is fun. talagang magalaing kang mag-research. even the accidents and the number of casualties are indicated. bilib nako.
Im impressed at nakakita ka ng picture ng Air Philippines na Boeing 747. Sana nga bumili sila nun para di na yung jurassic na Boeing 737-200 ang gamitin nila.
Of the five airlines mentioned, it's PAL only that I truly trusted. So far, di ko pa nasubukan ang iba pang apat na eroplanong na mentioned. But for PAL, well many times already.
