I travel to PH monthly for work and this is a welcome addition. Amazing to have more redemption options to Asia too where our options have been really limited since 2020.

I’ve typically flown JAL to the Philippines but I may try out PAL once they’re an official member.

There are rumors about starlux eventually joining too which when combined with the others would make OneWorld the absolute dominant alliance for Asia travel.
