Does ANYONE know the answer???

I am new here and I am sorry if this subject has been covered but I could not find it specifically in a search. My wife and I will be laying over in Manila for several hours during a PAL flight to Bangkok. We are traveling coach class but we would like to be able to take a shower while we wait. Are there facilities for "other than business or first class" passengers to take showers. Maybe a transit hotel or a lounge where we can pay for entry? Thanks very much.

Sorry - I can't help you & if no one else comes forward, you might want to consider posting your query over in the Asia forum -- maybe the regional experts could give you a hand. Good luck!

You may also post your questions on the Other Asian Frequent Flyer Forum and I'm optimistic that someone there will be able to assist you. I've never been to MNL myself, so I'm virtually little to no help. Sorry.

Here is a site I found about the airport in Manila: http://www.moveandstay.com/manila/gu...rport_info.asp

Sounds pretty bad, actually. It doesn't mention whether there are showers or not. You could try googling for other sites with information.

Don't know the answer for certain but from what I've seen of MNL, I don't think there are showers there, irrespective of the class of travel. Admittedly, I've not been in the PAL lounge but have been in some of the (small) Star Alliance ones.

IIRC, there may be a lounge where you can pay for access but don't know what facilities they would have there

Thanks anyway everyone. I was able to switch my flight to Thai Airlines so I will not have to layover in MNL but Osaka. I appreciate your replys.

Welcome to FT!

For future reference

it's always best to go right to the source:
