Philippine Airlines Flight Status

Not knowing the status of your flight is sometimes a big hassle. One time, when I traveled back to Manila from Davao, I didn’t know that the time of departure of for my flight was delayed by two hours because of bad weather. I rushed to Davao International Airport with the thought that I am late for my flight. Rushing to the airport just to avoid being left behind by the plane doesn't feel good. In the end, all of my rush went to naught because my flight was delayed.

I was not informed of the delay. I should have traveled to the airport without the rush and anxiety. I should have checked the status of my flight.

All airlines must have a system of informing their passengers of the status of their flights. There should have easy way for passengers to check if their flight is delayed or cancelled. Good thing that Philippine Airlines has a system to help inform their clients of delayed or cancelled flight. This system is the Philippine Airlines Flight Status that is found in the Philippine Airlines website.

To check the Philippine Airlines flight status, please go to their website. You will see the Philippine Airlines Online Booking form. Just click on the “Flight Status” tab as shown in the image below.

Just fill out the details of your flight on the Philippine Airlines Flight Status form. You can know the status of your flight by searching by flight number or by origin or destination. You will see the Philippine Airlines flight status after you click the “Go” button.

If you’re flying via Philippine Airlines, I recommend that you check the Philippine Airlines Flight Status before you go to the airport. This will help reduce inconveniences caused by delayed or cancelled flights.

Online Writing Service for Working Students


Students have to survive the deluge of papers. Students had to contend with position paper, reaction paper, research paper and all other kinds of papers every semester. A deluge of papers is not a problem for students, especially those who are serious in their studies. The problem only comes when a student holds part-time jobs or has extracurricular activities. A deluge of papers can be a “mortal” for those kinds of students.

I remember the days when I am still a college student. I had to face a lot of workload every single day. I always stay at the library to review for upcoming exams for Calculus. I was also tasked to read a lot of books and articles for my Literature and English classes. I also have to deal with the requirement of my major subjects. Then in other subjects, I was expected to make a deluge of papers that had to be submitted on time. On top of that, I had to work as a student assistant so as to support my daily expenses.

It was a hard time. I usually sleep late in the evening just to finish all of those requirements. There are times that my energy is so drained that I can not think of anything to write on my papers. Those are the times when I have what some people call as “Writer’s Block”. It is a terrible situation because I can not create any sentence for my paper no matter how I pound my head. In the end, I had to accept the so-so paper that I made just to have something to submit.

Working students are fortunate these days. There are many people who offer services to ease their workload. There are online services where working students can buy a research paper. These services offer high standard services that are submitted on time.
