A new haven for domestic travelers flying out of Cebu has emerged, thanks to Philippine Airlines. A plush 114-seater Mabuhay Lounge, at the heart of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, is now open to guests. This recent development by PAL will transform the waiting time into an indulgent retreat, offering comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere.
The Mabuhay Lounge is an outstanding representation of PAL’s commitment to serving its passengers and enhancing Mactan-Cebu as their rapidly growing hub. According to PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Capt. Stanley K. Ng, “The new lounge is part of Philippine Airlines’ strong commitment to build up Mactan-Cebu as our fastest growing hub – the heart of a robust network of PAL flights linking Cebu with 19 domestic and regional destinations. The Lounge is a new haven in our Cebu home.”
Relax, Recharge and Enjoy the Amenities
The Mabuhay Lounge provides a unique space that integrates luxury and comfort, allowing passengers to unwind and rejuvenate while waiting for their flights. It aims to adhere to PAL’s mission of providing ultimate comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality to Business Class and Comfort Class passengers and Mabuhay Miles Elite, Premier Elite, and Million Miler members.
Passengers can enjoy the comfort of plush lounging chairs and a spacious layout. The lounge offers private charging outlets and Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring passenger convenience. VIP shower rooms are available, along with segregated male, female, and PWD restrooms, all equipped with a full range of amenities for optimal passenger comfort.
A Feast for the Eyes and the Palate
Adding to the lounge’s ambiance is its design. Adrian T. Chua Architects and Associates collaborated with PAL to create a fusion of modern Filipino interiors. Vibrant color tones, including the airline’s signature blue, combine with the warmth of wooden accents and the modern feel of sleek furnishings to create an inviting environment.
Passengers can also savor a feast of flavors at the lounge. The dining area features well-curated table arrangements and a buffet station that serves a variety of mouth-watering food and refreshments, including the signature PAL Arroz Caldo.
In his statement, PAL’s President, Capt. Stanley K. Ng, mentioned the vital role of PAL’s leadership in bringing this endeavor to life. “The Mabuhay Lounge serves as a sanctuary of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of travel. We would like to thank our PAL Chairman & CEO, Dr. Lucio C. Tan, and PAL Vice Chairman, Mrs. Carmen Tan, for their leadership and support in making this milestone possible.”
As PAL continues to expand its services, the opening of the Mabuhay Lounge at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport signifies its commitment to providing its passengers with a premium travel experience. With this development, PAL not only promises more flight connections but also a journey marked by comfort and luxury right from the start.
