Because allowances and fees differ greatly by cabin class and location, it is essential to understand the Philippines Airlines baggage policy for a hassle-free travel experience. You are entitled to a certain number of checked bags because PAL mostly uses a piece concept for baggage allowance. Two complimentary checked baggage, each no more than 23 kg (50 lbs) and 158 cm (62 inches) in total dimensions (L+W+H), are normally provided to customers flying in Economy Class to and from the US, Canada, and Brazil. One complimentary checked bag is often the allowance on other international itineraries. First Class passengers get four free checked bags on US/Canada/Brazil itineraries and three free checked bags elsewhere, while Business Class passengers get three free checked bags on US/Canada/Brazil routes and two free checked bags on other international destinations. Economy, Business, and First all typically offer one free checked bag (up to 23 kg/50 lbs) on domestic flights inside the Philippines. If the free allowance is exceeded, there are significant extra baggage penalties that are determined by the route and are assessed per piece;When paid in advance online, these fees are substantially less. The maximum weight for each checked luggage is 32 kg (70 lbs); baggage that weigh more than this may need special handling and cost a lot of money. All travelers are allowed to bring one normal carry-on bag (no more than 56 x 36 x 23 cm or 22 x 14 x 9 inches) and one personal item (such as a laptop bag or pocketbook). Cabin bag weight restrictions vary: First weighs 14 kg (30 lbs), Business weighs 10 kg (22 lbs), and Economy weighs 7 kg (15 lbs). IATA standards require that liquids in carry-on be in clear, resealable bags with a capacity of no more than 100 milliliters. Sports gear and musical instruments are examples of special items that may be allowed as checked baggage with the appropriate fees and packaging guidelines.whereas forbidden items include dangerous materials and lithium batteries. Because policies can change, always check the official PAL website before you go to confirm your exact allowance, route-based regulations, and current surcharges.
