Things are really looking up. The move to T1 at MNL was a revelation. And the news that has not seemingly posted elsewhere - T1 has a brand new Mabuhay lounge on Level 4. It is big and looks more like what you would expect from Cathay or SQ. Food and drink not of the same standard but a massive upgrade on what PR has offered previously.

T1 immigration at arrivals, baggage reclaim and the whole check in area and process made MNL look better than BKK where we had arrived from.

PR website says they now use Qantas lounge at Brisbane. Will know for sure late next week.

Re the health pass check. Downloaded and filed. Nobody looking for it on arrival at MNL. But on retuning to the airport after a lengthy layover - due to a flight time change - my partner was asked for QR code. Irritating as she had refiled the previous night using the facility to update. The update had just reloaded and sent her the previous, now expired QR code. So she had to step aside and refile. The check was by passport control at departure so be warned. LOL
