Mabuhay Miles status
Full status page ↗Mabuhay Miles status is earned on Tier Miles or one-way qualifying flights on PAL and its codeshares, in a calendar year, and lasts that classification year. Million Miler is for life, on 1,000,000 flown miles. Philippine Airlines belongs to no alliance today, so its tiers unlock only its own lounges; it accepted a oneworld invitation in June 2026 and expects to join in 2027.
