Philippine Airlines has shared new guidelines for passengers whose flights might be disrupted by Typhoon Uwan from 8 to 12 November 2025. The airline expects possible delays and cancellations at several airports, including Clark, Legazpi, Tuguegarao, and Laoag. The update is meant to help passengers adjust their travel plans while the airline monitors the weather and works closely with airport teams.

Passengers with confirmed flights that are still operating can rebook within 30 days of their original travel date at no extra cost, if seats are available in the same cabin class. Unused tickets can also be converted into travel credits valid for two years, which may be used later when services resume. Passengers should check their flight information before traveling to the airport, as weather conditions can change without warning.

For cancelled flights, Philippine Airlines advises passengers not to go to the airport. Instead, they can rebook within 60 days or convert their ticket value into travel credits with a 5 per cent bonus. Refunds for unused tickets are also available, excluding the service fee. Additional phone lines and online chat are available to assist with ticket rebookings and travel credit issues. This should make it faster and easier for passengers to get the support they need.

These options give passengers more control over their plans across the Philippines. Those whose trips are affected can opt to visit areas less exposed to the typhoon, such as Palawan or Baguio, while airports in Manila and Cebu continue operating. This keeps access open to domestic routes and safer destinations for those wishing to carry on with their travel. It also helps local tourism recover faster once normal operations resume.

Philippine Airlines has introduced several options to assist passengers affected by the storm. Rebooking, travel credits, and refunds are available to help people rearrange their plans with less difficulty. As Typhoon Uwan continues across the region, the airline’s website and Facebook page carry the latest flight information to help travellers decide when it’s safe to fly again.
