1- it depends on the airline that you will use but the regular weight is 25 kg i guess

2- yeah you will be for the extra weight i really dunno how much but you can ask your airline and bring extra money with you.

3- i don't think it will be an issue

you are not allow to take any liquid with you on the plane .but you can put them in your suitcase .

about the cigarettes i there is limit for that but i forgot maybe 2 or 3 boxes .

but you can buy all of those stuff from USA why you want to take all of that with you it will be extra weight

Good luck

Nothing's impossible . Nothing's unreachable .When I am weary you make me stronger

This love is beautiful .So unforgettable . I feel no winter cold when we are together .

Will you stand by me ?!!!Hold on and never let me go .

Will you stand by me?!! With you i know i belong . When the story gets told .

When day turns into night .I look into your eyes . I see my future now .All the world and its wonder

This love wont fade away.And through the hardest days . I will never question us .You are the reason my only reason.

I'm blessed to find what i need in a world loosing hope. you are my only believe .

You make things right every time after time.....

Will you stand by me ?!!!

As Hot Guy says it depends on the airline, I always fly with American as the limit is more I can take 2 cases plus hang luggage and each airline has different charges for excess luggage so you should check with them, sometimes if you tell them in advance if it is a lot more you can strike a deal

You will have to check all of the weight limitations with the airline that you have booked with.

The limit for duty free cigarettes to take into the States is 200, however you can take more if they are brought in your country as long as you can show a receipt to show that they are not duty free

Sorry can not advise on the signature bag as not sure what that is

Just make sure that any liquids that you take are in a container which is 100ml or under, if you have a container that is larger even if it is half full it might be confiscated

I would not worry about taking the candy, I always take chocolate but we careful with anything that is a paste as that might be classified as liquid, I was told to take peanut butter out of my hand luggage and put it in with my checked bags. I dont know what some of the things you mentioned are, so maybe safest to put it in your hand luggage and if it gets queried then just let them confiscate it, it's not a problem.

All of this should be double checked with your airline and airport as each one is different, we have different rules for the 2 london airports, one is only 1 piece of hand luggage and the other you can have a hand bag as well.

Hello Everyone i need your suggestions and advice i'd appreciate it very much !!!!!!

1.Until what limit is the free luggage ???????

2.If you have excess baggage do i pay for each kilo ?

If so, How much ??????

3.I have a favorite bag that's not signature can i bring it?????

4.Cause i have read one post that said your only allowed to bring signatured bags

and if i brought those which are not original, Can this cause a problem ????

Pasalubong's: Is there a problem if I bring any of the following :

1.Tanduay

2.Malboro Light

3.Peanut Brittle

4.Durian Candies

5.Dried Mangoes

6.Coconut Candies

7.Polvoron from Goldilocks

8.And other Delicacies

9. Three bottles of Virgin Coconut Oil

I am little bit scared to bring these items, Because it might cause a problem.

No liquids are allowed in the airport, that will be thrown away. What size is you virgin oil? if it's a small bottle just wrap it up with a bubble wrap and put that in your luggage, don't put that in your crry on that might cause problem. Candies are alright. I've been in so many trips and I saw people wearing fake purse or lugagge and nobody give them hard time at the airport. Take it easy and happy trip...

It depends which airline you're flying with. They all have different fees. Okay, this is how it was for me... I went to Egypt to visit my fiance during the summer, and I flew with American Airlines. They were really good. I took two HUGE luggage with me!!!! HUGE!!!!! LoL I was gone all summer so I packed heavy. When I was checking in my bags, the attendant told me that there was a 75 lb. weight limit per bag. One of my bags was 72 lbs. (which barely made it~~~ LoL) and the other bag was 84.5 lbs. I had to pay a $50.00 fee. He told me that if it had gone over a 100 lbs. (I think, can't remember the exact weight), they would charge me $150 for each bag that went over. It wasn't that bad though because my luggage was heavy, and as I told you they were free... except for the one that exeeded the weight limit by a few lbs. On the way back though I flew through Olympic Air (Egypt) and they charged me a $100 fee ($50 for each bag) and that's because they were MUCH, MUCH lighter on the way back. I packed a lot lighter on the way back because I only packed my clothes in one bag and left the rest of my clothes there with my fiance, and I brought back souvenirs in the other bag. Anyway, don't worry. They fees are not bad at all. It just depends who you fly with and how much you're taking with you. I also had a carry-on bag which was free too.

As for the specific items that are allowed, check out the TSA website. It's very helpful. :) Here's the link.. I hope it helps! ;)

Check about the fruit - I took some dried dates with me to the US in 2006 and got sniffer-dogged :lol: I explained that I had cheese and dried dates and the customs lady said that was fine. I had to have my case x-rayed but that was it - maybe dried fruits are different?

Would any of that be easier and cheaper for you to just ship over?

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Good luck

You can bring them with you. Just don't fresh fruits and vegetables, you know, anything that won't pass the agricultural inspection. Other than that, you can carry a certain amount of personal items as long as you declare them.

Hokey Smoke!
