I visited the Travel Madness Expo in July 2018 and received an official announcement of the inaugural flight of Philippine Airlines to New Chitose Airport from Manila on Sep. 10, 2018. Frequency is 3 times a week on Mon, Wed and Fri by a new variant of Airbus, A321neo which features 12 business class seats and 156 economy class seats.
Flight schedule (effective on/after 10Sep18) is as follows:
PR406 MNL/CTS 04:50/11:35
