Hi Guys,

Just to inform you that PAL has decreased its maximum baggage limit from 64kg to 23Kg (not good) what the hell.. Good thing i havent bought my suitcase just yet. PAL said that the said decrease was due to increase in fuel prices ( i thought they dont use diesel or unleaded, duh...) ... so guys instead of us paying for the excess baggage.. let us have a BIg Balikbayan boxes (full of our HINDI-ko-maiwan-walang-ganyan-sa-states-na-gamit) ready to ship either before we go to our POE or after depends on the circumstances. IT may take a month atleast before it will reach its destination so might as well get them shipped from here in the PI a month before we leave here...

Happy Trip everyone...

well actually its no surprise since PAL has been planning to decrease their maximum baggage limit for months..and increase in aviation fuel(avgas) is the main reason..yes they dont use diesel or unleaded..its the reason that american carriers delta and united airlines merged..northwest's baggage allowance is more economical but it doesnt fly direct to LA so some passengers still fly PAL..

happy trip to you though..goodluck!!!

i called manila fowarders. they will drop boxes off for $5 each. and when the time comes, 1-2 week leas time, tey will pick up the shipment at $10/box. then they get it to LA. from LA to whereever your destination is is up tp you. they use fed ex, ups dhl etc. so for us it is about 150 per box. the airlines charge about 135 per box, ove rthe 2 checked bag. so it is worth the few extra dollars, not for maribel to have to push 6 boxes thru the airport.

i have also checked with american airlines and northwest. what ever the airlines leaving the philippines is, they have to follw the rules of the carrier going international

I just called Northwest this morning and said that 23 kg per luggage is allowed now, a total of 46 kg for 2. They used to be 70 kilos per bag.

I don't think the person you spoke to got it right. I was told it was 32kg per bag. I even looked it up on the Northwest Airlines website just now and this is what is says:

International Travel - between North America and Africa / Asia / Europe / India / Middle East)

Coach Class: Each ticketed passenger is allowed two (2) pieces of checked luggage.

Exception for Coach Class International travel with a connection time of eight (8) hours or more that requires luggage to be re-checked for a flight within the US, Canada, Mexico and Caribbean: Each ticketed passenger is allowed one (1) piece of checked luggage (see below for details)* Each piece: 50 pounds (23 kg) with linear dimensions not to exceed 62 inches (158 cm).

Exceptions for trans-Pacific travel wholly between U.S./Canada and the

Philippines

, China and Hong Kong, checked pieces

may weigh up to 70 pounds (32 kg) each.

Hope this helps! I'm gonna print a copy of the page from their website and then pack up to 32kg per bag.

Hi to all VJ members. I'm a little bit confused coz while I was canvassing for luggage bags yesterday I was told (by the salesman) that a total of only 2 bags are allowed in PAL. One hand carry and one check-in luggage OR I can check-in both of those (2) bags if I want to. I rechecked in the website of PAL and in my own opinion I can have the following: (kindly correct me if I am wrong )

2pieces check-in luggage (each piece not exceeding 23 kilograms),

1 carry-on baggage (not exceeding 7kgs),

1 laptop with case (that I will carry on board)

1 small handbag with camera, passport and wallet (I will carry on board)so all in all I can have

5 bags without excess baggage charge if I meet the requirements below

For tickets issued on or after 01 July 2008, the following Free Baggage Allowance shall apply:For Journeys to/from the USA, Canada and Guam (Piece System)

Mabuhay (Business) Class

weighing not more than 7 kgs. or 15 lbs.

If carry-on luggage fails to comply with the required applicable dimensions and weight, carry-on luggage will be checked in and charged with the corresponding excess baggage charges (if applicable).

In addition of the free carry-on luggage allowance, a passenger is allowed to carry the following items onboard:
