In February 2023, my wife and I travelled round-trip from San Francisco to Manila. Philippine Airlines was the only non-stop option that we could find. The flights and arrival/departure times were within reason. Airline personnel and their service was always very good. We traveled on a B777-300, which was fine, but the business cabin was original. The entertainment system appeared to have CRT monitors built into the seats. They worked about as well as 20 year-old CRT screens - not well. Movie/TV/Music selections were poor. There was no lack of space. Not compartmentalized. The seats were not lay-flat. There was no stowage for blanket/pillow apart from your lap or the floor in front of you. One was viewing the monitor from a distance of about 4-5 feet. Generally, it was not comfortable, or what i would expect in 2023. The food would have been Ok for Premium Economy. The wine was generic and Ok for no better than Economy. The lounges at SFO and Manila were disappointing.
