Fiesta Class (Economy Class)

On long-haul flights, a basic amenity kit with toothpaste, slumber mask and socks is distributed to passengers. Similar to economy class seats in other carriers, the passenger's footrests and tray tables are found in the seat in front of them except for bulkhead and exit seats, where the tray tables are embedded in the seats and footrests are on the floor. A319-100s and A320-200s have drop down overhead LCD screens. All aircraft in the mainline fleet feature audio entertainment to Fiesta Class passengers.

Newly refurbished Boeing 747-400s and brand-new Boeing 777-300s feature a new economy class product also manufactured by Recaro and Weber respectively. Their seats offer a pitch of between 32 and 34 inches and they are upholstered in blue with silver-copper accents. The new economy class offers AVOD and each seat is equipped with 9-inch (230 mm) monitors, mounted either on the seatbacks or armrests (for bulkhead and exit row seats). The new Boeing 777-300s in economy class also feature a USB port that allows passengers to charge portable devices such as their iPOD. Although other widebody aircraft have nearly the same amount of pitch as that in the refurbished Boeing 747s and 777s, there are no in-seat video monitors installed.

In late 2008, Philippine Airlines introduced Econolight, which is its no-frills economy class product. Passengers can travel on domestic and selected regional routes for round-trip fares as low as P488 (for domestic routes) and US$48 (for regional routes; excluding taxes and other fees). While the seat used is the same as PAL's full-service Fiesta Class, at the time of launch, food and headsets were not provided and they had to sit at the back of the aircraft. No physical barriers (i.e. walls or curtains) separate Econolight passengers from full-service Economy class passengers; instead, Econolight passengers were identified with a sticker attached to their seat. However, in November 2009, Econolight was enhanced to provide meals and passengers may already choose their seats at check-in. The inclusion of meals and seat assignments came at the expense of raising the base fares to almost double what it was when it launched. Other restrictions such as the lack of check-through facilities and lounge access for high-tier Mabuhay Miles members still remain though.
