Philippine Airlines has been dubbed as “Plane Always Late.” (Which, in my opinion, better than Fly as Asians, arrive as spirits for Asian Spirit. Har.) I’ve flown with PAL twice and I must have forgotten to wear a watch because I can’t remember if the plane was late or not. However, I’m still alive and blogging, and that’s good enough for me.

What I *can* remember though, is that the queue in the PAL offices are ALWAYS something to dread. I was pretty optimistic earlier when I went to their Cubao office in Alimall, but I made sure I brought a book and some writing material with me.

Upon entering, I turned to the guard for a service number. I got 729, and to my horror, there were two digital signboards displaying the number up for service at the counter. One says 595, the other, 695. I do hope my number’s in the 695 category.

Still, it took me more than an hour of waiting for service that didn’t last for more than 15 minutes. Oh well, at least I’ll be on the Centennial airport.
