Comments: Domestic air travel in the Philippines is not for the feint at heart. I’ve now done 4 sectors with Asian Spirit. All have been comfortable trips, that is if you don’t mind being able to slide the cabin wall linings 6 inches fore or aft to even up the gaps between them. The flight attendants are what make this airline special - when asked if we understood the emergency exit procedures my friend responded “Sure, we’ll help them out”, and the F/A found this hysterical.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 8 for effort (rating adjusted for the Philippines), 8 for satisfaction, 10 for flight attendant service, and 10 for taking my mind off the flight while I opened up all those bags
