Philippine Airlines (PAL) has introduced a new cashless payment method to make it more convenient for customers to pay for their cargo, ticket office and airport check-in transactions.
Starting this month, all direct PAL cargo, ticket office and airport counter transactions now accept payments via GCash and PayMaya.
This over-the-counter payment option allows cargo shippers to scan a quick response (QR) code and pay with their GCash or PayMaya accounts, the flag carrier said in a statement.
Passengers who book their tickets at PAL’s ticketing offices nationwide, meanwhile, stand to benefit from the safety, convenience and ease of paying for their tickets via these cashless modes of payment, PAL noted.
GCash and PayMaya can also be used to pay for Manila and Cebu airport check-in transactions such as excess baggage, service class upgrades, choice seats, check-in of allowed animals, security risk items, and other ancillary products.
The PayMaya payment method is available nationwide, while GCash payment, currently available only in Manila and Cebu, can be used nationwide by May 24, 2021.
PAL has 40 ticketing offices nationwide to serve customers who wish to carry out face-to-face transactions.
It offers cargo services on its network of flights to 29 domestic points and 32 destinations in Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East.

The flag carrier also operates occasional all-cargo flights on select overseas routes to transport vital shipments including life-saving vaccines, medical equipment and other important supplies. PAL earlier said it would continue to expand its cargo business, which has become its “lifeline” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
