Trip to Philippines

I just returned from Puerto Galera, Philippines (flight from Manila to LAX) on Philippine Airlines and would suggest avoiding that airline if possible. I didn't want to take a flight with a lay over in Tokyo, Seoul or HK so I opted for the nonstop PR flight. It was totally sold out. I was in Bus Class in the upstairs cabin and it does not, in any way, equal the Bus Class service of major US airlines.

It would be nice for you to provide us with details as to why you feel that the service was inadequate, and I am sure you compared it to most major Asian airlines..........................

Hmm... sounds to me like you couldn't be bothered to write a trip report so why did you bother? I can see that there was a trip involved but where is the report part? Besides, saying that PR's business class service "does not, in any way, equal Bus Class service of major US airlines" doesn't really mean much.
