How many Bags allowed to travel to USA?

[JSRF 0]

That is a good question. The way to get the coorect answer is contact the carrier(s) you are going to be traveling on. Most international flights you can have two (2) checkin bag and one carry one. If you have to change air line once you get to the state they would honor the international flight bags rules from the carrier you were on (that was before this gas thing and getting charged for everything.) Call the carrier or go line to get your best answer. Good luck. Have a safe trip.. God bless.

I thought PAL had decreased their limit to 50lbs per luggage check in..

I remember my uncle traveling to Guam having 2 luggage totaling 100lbs.. 2 50lbs each..

This is PAL..

yup, PAL's free baggage allowance will be reduced to 23 kgs from 32 kgs for flights to/from the us/canada and guam

the good news is, the changes won't be effected till the 1st of July:)

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)

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:
