Manila to San Francisco: Mabuhay Miles Mayhem (and How to Avoid It)
Ah, the City by the Bay! Trading the hustle and bustle of Manila for the chill vibes of San Francisco sounds pretty darn tempting, right? But before you pack your flip-flops and sourdough cravings, there's a hurdle to jump: those precious Mabuhay Miles.
The Great Mabuhay Mystery: How Many Miles Do You Need?
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Here's the thing: Philippine Airlines, the guardian of Mabuhay Miles, likes to keep things interesting. Unlike a well-behaved croissant, the number of miles you need for Manila to San Francisco isn't exactly a brioche. It depends on where you're flying to in San Francisco (blame parallel universes, maybe?) and what class you're aiming for.
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
- Economy Class: Breathe a sigh of relief, budget traveler! You're looking at somewhere between 37,000 and 80,000 Mabuhay Miles (depending on the award zone).
- Business Class: Channel your inner jetsetter! Be prepared to dish out between 43,000 and 67,000 Mabuhay Miles.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to factor in taxes and fees! These pesky add-ons can leave your Mabuhay Miles feeling a little less "mabuhay" and a little more "wah-ley" (Filipino slang for "expensive").
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
