Wider seats and personal screens are coming to Philippine Airlines’ South Korea routes as the carrier deploys refurbished Airbus A321ceo aircraft on flights between Incheon and Manila and between Busan and Manila.

The cabin changes target passenger comfort. Business-class seat pitch has grown from 37 inches to 45 inches, while the recline range has expanded from 6 inches to 10 inches. The seats also include four-way adjustable headrests, leg and footrests, and mini tables.

Every seat now has a 13.3-inch personal entertainment screen, a power socket and a USB-A port. Philippine Airlines has also upgraded the economy-class cabin.

The nonstop Busan-Manila route gives passengers from Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do an option that avoids travel through the Seoul metropolitan area.
