GCash and Philippine Airlines (PAL) yesterday forged a partnership to further boost travel.
Through the partnership, GCash and PAL are offering an exclusive seat sale for GCash users of up to 20 percent off on domestic and international travel to select Asian destinations.
“We are pleased to be partnering with GCash to offer not just exciting huge discounts but also flexible and cashless payment options to our guests. This is one of the many ways we help ensure the convenience of our guests throughout their journey with us, through safe and accessible services by GCash,” said Capt. Stanley Ng, PAL chief operating officer.
With this offer, passengers can pay directly with GCash and get discounts when they book their flights with PAL to some of the most famous tourist spots in the Philippines, such as Palawan, Boracay and Cebu, as well as all of Southeast Asia and select Asian destinations.
The promotion will run on select weekends starting November 18 to January 2024, with the travel period extending from the day of booking until the end of 2024.
PAL and GCash will also be updating the offered promos through the PAL website and official social media pages.
PAL said GCash users can expect a different deal every weekend that will be announced through the airline’s official social media pages and website.
A page on PAL’s website will also be dedicated for GCash users where they can easily access all promotions and discounts.
“At GCash, we have pioneered a number of digital payment innovations to help make Filipino lives better. This partnership with PAL is a continuation of our mission to provide users with safe and convenient payment solutions, may it be for their financial needs, or lifestyle and travel goals,” noted Renren Reyes, president and chief executive officer of G-Xchange Inc., which operates GCash.
As the travel industry continues to thrive with the easing of travel restrictions, PAL said it has posted over 70 percent growth compared to last year, making it a significant key partner in driving growth for this category.
