Has anyone flown with Philippines Airlines before for long haul flights, say from North America to Philippines or vice versa?

Are they any decent? How's their entertainment system and leg room

Same service you would get flying to and from Asia in a US a legacy carrier.  Obviously not up to par as Singapore, Asians, or the Japanese ones.  Depending on your height it may make for a slightly uncomfortable flight but since it’s non stop then I would rather suck it up and go that route.

When I must fly economy to Asia I go with Asiana or JAL since legroom is my biggest need.  They both have 33/34 inches of legroom while PAL only has about 31.  I’m 6’4” so it makes a big difference for myself.  Entertainment wise they have enough movies and shows to get you by.

Forget the legroom, the damn seats in front are so close now, you can't put your head on the table in front of you--only way to sleep for non-short people. Even business class, if you can't get your head horizontal, who cares about the shoulder room. Are long-haul inter-oceanic flights still with decent leg room or are they shrinking it like domestic flights? Given the long flight--I used to sleep half of the 13 hour flight, spending a little more to get 2010 leg room may be worth the exorbiant prices for upgrade.
