Try to check out the airline's website for luggage limitations and carry-on allowances. Also try to find out if they have additional regulations, such as no liquids in carryons, etc.

Some airlines are very strict with baggage. So compliance is a must! If they say 22 kg per bag, they mean 22 kg per bag.

Which airline are you booked?

refer to your airline online and read about check-in luggages and hand-carried luggage limits. It will tell you exactly how many pounds you are allowed to bring- usually they allow 70 lbs for check-in luggages. GOOD LUCK!! HAPPY TRIP

You are both allowed to bring two bags eaach and both bags are allowed to have 22 kilos per bag.

The reason it is limited to 22 kilos per bag is so the baggage handlers do not have to lift too much weight...its in their contract, especially in the US.

It may be more inconvenient to have to carry 4 bags instead of 3 between you and your son, but DO NOT exceed the weight limit of 22 kilos per each individual bag. You are entitled to both bring two bags of 22 kilos, so i recommend you use all of your allowable weight to bring as much of your stuff as possible.

You can also each bring one carry on bag, like a back pack, as long as it fits the carry on size criteria. You can look that up on line at the airline website also. I have flown around the world to various places A LOT... and i have never had a problem with a standard back pack as a carry on. For ladies, a small purse doesn't count as a carry on, so you can bring that and a back pack. I have also carried on a back pack and my laptop bag and not had a problem either...but you many not want to push it, LOL.

The POE IMMIGRATION personnel will not care how many luggages you have IF you have followed the airline rules. They won't even care if you bring a bunch of extra bags and had to pay extra bag fees. The Immigration people don't concern themselves with luggage. Their job is to inspect YOU and YOUR SON and YOUR PAPERWORK to make sure you have the proper visas etc to enter the US. You will have to fill out a small immigration form on the plane, fill up one form and include you and your son on the same form. No need for two separate forms. The flight attendant can help you if you have questions.

CUSTOMS personnel are the ones who will inspect your luggages. Their job is to inspect the STUFF and THINGS you bring into the US in your carry on baqgs and your checked in luggage. They may open your carry on bags or luggage to look inside the luggage, or they may not. Make sure you DO NOT bring any of the items that are not allowed to be brought into the US. Fresh meats or plants, exotic live animals, pirated DVDs etc etc etc are all prohibited. You will have to fill out a CUSTOMS ENTRY form on the plane in addition to your immigration form from the plane..so you will have to fill up two forms, one for immigration and one for customs. Only fill out one form for immigration and one form for customs, but include both YOU and YOUR SON on the forms. No need for separate customs or immigration forms for you and your son.

Good Luck, and have a Safe Flight!

Hi Lokashadow!

Sis, masyado mahigpit na mga airlines when it comes to baggage allowances. How old is your son? Minsan kci mas konti baggage allowance for baby/toddler. Baka ma-excess pa kau. Check mo na lang sa Airlines. Kung puede, try to use up yung apat na baggage within the limits(magleave ka ng konti difference, baka kci iba scale nila sa airport). I don't think na papayag sila na 3 pero pang 4 na baggage. Mahirap nga magpack. Lalo na pagpermanent na ang stay. Pero think of it this way, you could always buy those there na. And para mas comfortable ang flight nyo magmommy, don't have too many things na hahawakan pag checkin.

As for Manila Forwarders, my inlaws use them to send us stuff. Reliable naman.

Hope you have a safe and comfortable trip!

Sure you can bring your perfumes. Just put them in checked luggage. You can keep them in one bag or split them up... whichever is easiset for you to pack. Just don't hand carry them...they are liquids.... and its better just to put them in your checked luggage.
