PR102 MNL2100 – 1930LAX 773 D
PR122 MNL2300 – 2125LAX 773 246

PR103 LAX0050 – 0615MNL 773 D
PR113 LAX1230 – 1805+1MNL 773 D
PR123 LAX2355 – 0520+2MNL 773 246

Manila – Toronto eff 31MAR19 Increase from 5 to 7 weekly, A350-900XWB replaces 777-300ER
PR118 MNL1500 – 1810YYZ 350 D
PR119 YYZ0150 – 0615+1MNL 350 D

Previously reported changes:
Manila – New York JFK eff 31MAR19 Increase from 5 to 7 weekly, A350-900XWB operating
Manila – San Francisco eff 31MAR19 Increase from 7-10 to 14 weekly, 777-300ER operating

We have previously discussed about the A350-900XWB operating MNL-YYZ a couple of month ago and looks liked that is becoming a reality as the B77W has been known to be payload restricted an and had to blocked seat as it can't operate in a full load.

In LAX looks like PAL will be aggressively adding seats there with 17 weekly flight compered to the 14 weekly flight this year and previously years. I wonder how will this effect the load factor on each flights and also where will they get the B777 to fly the additional 3 weekly flights

As for SFO I wonder why they don't space out the flights to different times of the day like in LAX one departing in the morning or later afternoon and another in the evening is it due to lot constraints at SFO?
