Mahalo,

As far as I remember, it is not directly offered by PAL but thru the travel agents. Sometimes K1s are not given the discount as it is a non-immigrant visa but other K1s have had success. Just scout for travel agents that would give the discount to a K1.

Aloha nui loa Bill!

I got the discount from PAL for my wife and anak.

2 ways to do it.

If they fly Mabuhay[ business] you can buy the tickets here [travel agent] and they will give you the about 20% discount without evidence of having visa.

If you go economy the person in RP must have visa in hand to get it.

I flew wife and anak Mabuhay! Got tickets from Nobel travel in Maui. HAD to ask for it tho. They said no way at first but they checked on it and it flew!

Nice to have my wife and anak leave RP like Queens.

Good thing I flew them Mabuhay as they had trouble getting the CFO sticker that morning and would have missed the plane if they would have had to stand in lines.

Mabuhay passengers are treated like Royalty!

Problem is now they want to fly everywhere FIRST CLASS! Even interisland! :blink:

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

When Claudeth came two years ago they were offering discounts for K-3s. She did save me about $150 by purchasing the ticket there.
