Re Hand-carry & check-in baggages

[cyelo1]

Hi GT'ers! JUst a question:

Ang alam ko di naman talaga strict ang NAIA for excess baggage. Last time kasi nung umalis ako, i knew yung checked-in baggage ko may excess talaga ako ng mga around 10kg, pero thankful na rin ako kasi di na rin nila pinansin. Strict lang talaga sila kung meron kang dalang alcoholic beverages, cigars,  or something na kaduda-duda talaga. And bawal din talaga yung maglalabas ka sa bansa ng mga imitation bags, wallets, etc. na medyo marami-rami rin. Kasi they're thinking talaga na ibebenta mo talaga sa abroad and counterfeit talaga . hehe.

Sa hand-carry ba (kahit saang airport), according to your experiences may limitations ba talaga? Kasi syempre kung nagtitipid ka & kung may excess ka talaga, instead na bayaran mo, kung pwede namang dalhin sa plane, pwede rin ba? Lets say 10kg or as long as kaya mong dalhin & kakasya sa cabin, pwede? You think i-aallow din yun?

just wanna know...thanks for dropping . ..

^ domestic ba or international?

for international, usually depende sa airlines. some airlines, pag 1-2kg lang excess, di na nila papabayaran. yung iba, if wala ka namang handcarry, pwedeng offset na yung handcarry allowance sa check-in. while yung iba, mahigpit.

lagi akong walang handcarry, so di ako pinagbabayad ng excess baggage sa check-in. EXCEPT nung nag cebu pacific ako. wala rin akong handcarry, tapos excess ako ng 4kgs sa check-in ko. sabi ko offset na lang, ayaw pumayag. eh wala akong extra bag para pang-handcarry. saka nakapacked na ng maayos gamit ko. so i ended up paying my excess na lang.

international flight sis.

siguro nga depende lang sa airlines. ill be flying thru Cebu Pacific.
Dami ko pa namang dala, and ayaw kong magbayad ng excess... hehe
sana pwede, iha-hand carry ko nalang talaga lahat ng excess ko.

i don't think airport are critical in regards to excess baggage, more on the content of it. It's the airlines that are critical on the weight. On hand carry, the allowed hand carry bag is one per pax (you can have additional hand carry item like laptop and such). Weight of hand carry varies per airlines i believe. It's quite irritating though when there are those people who lug more than the allowed number of  hand carry (sometimes 3 or more) and take up all the cabin space that was suppose to be used by other designated passenger.

[mama squeak!]

^Talaga naman. Then they expect the cabin attendants to heave their cabin bags sa overhead bins. Galit pa pag di mo tinulungan. Hay! Talaga naman.

Magkano ba ang excess baggage per kilo ng Cebu Pacific, international destination? Also, it says on my ticket na

"Guest may transport free of charge checked baggage up to a maximum weight of 20kg for the Airbus flights (A319 and A320) and 10kg for selected ATR flights (ex. Caticlan)."

Airbus flight ba ang flight to Singapore? How will I know if it's a selected ATR flight?

Thanks in advance, I'm new to this.

[cody23]

^ it's p400/kg per sector. afaik they use airbus for all international flight. atr are for smaller airport like caticlan, busuanga and such

<br hehe super tipid

mahigpit cebu pacific sa baggage allowance. dun ata sila bumabawi eh. php400/kg. i remember nung nagcebu pac brother nung july lang, 1.5kg lang excess pero ayaw pa palampasin, eh wala naman siyang dalang hand-carry nun. he thought din iooffset nila just like PAL. pero hindi! sabi magtanggal na lang daw siya at ihandcarry. kaya ayun, sa airport binukas niya maleta niya at nagtanggal ng gamit. buti na lang meron siyang paper bag sa loob ng maleta. yung tinanggal niyang pants ata or damit naka-paper bag tuloy na handcarry niya. 

story ko naman, posted na sa taas.

basta yun, mahigpit cebu pacific, dun kasi sila bumabawi eh.. kaya better make sure na di ka magexcess or yet wag mo sagarin yung handcarry allowance mo. para incase na sobra yung check-in pwede mo ilagay sa hand-carry.

^^Thank you, cody23.

If there's more than one person travelling, they are going to combine your luggage, is this correct?

[valerieganda]

^ yup combined sis .

ah pwede rin pala yun.
Kaya pala last time nung nasa airport ako, may isang girl na nagtatanong sa iba na konti lang yung baggage kung okay lang ba daw magpa-combine, kasi madami rin syang dala.
So marami rin palang gumi-gimik sa mga baggages....

[jamie_0117]

May weighing scale naman sa airport.  I don't know lang sa NAIA 3, once lang ako nakapunta dun nung hinatid ko sister ko pero hindi naman ako bumaba.

Re: nakikisuyo, nakakatakot naman yon.  Eh pano kung may drugs pala syang dala, or basta something illegal, eh di ikaw naman boljak.  Yung father-in-law ko, parating pinapaalala yun tuwing na lang may aalis samin (as in non-stop, cliche na nga eh hehe).

naku, this is a no-no.. kasi di mo alam ano laman nung bagahe nung nakikisuyo. madami na daw cases wherein, may makikisuyo tapos mag-aalok ng pera kapalit nung bagahe. mostly domestic helpers daw victims. tapos pagdeating sa airport ng destination nila, nahuhuli. tapos kahit sabihin nilang di nila alam kasi may nakisabay lang nun, useless. kasi sa kanila nakapangalan yung baggage..

[lorelie78n]

yep.....always remember, though this may sound paranoid, that some people are not to be trusted.  eh kung ikaw malinis ang intensyon, marami pa rin ang nangaabuso. 

always have in mind na lang to travel lightly.  prioritize lang sa pag pack ng baggage.  but if di maiwasan you can distribute the weight.  imbis na gumamit ka ng luggage for your hand carry, carry a backpack.  don't show the people around you na your struggling with the weight, kasi if you do, halata nila mabigat dala mo.  trust me this work.   last travel ko almost 10kg yung laman na fresh tamarind from BKK, di ako nasita....carry lang ang pagdala...as if di mabigat. hehe.  make people feel your confidence but at the same time your friendliness, they would be more forgiving.

this happened to me sa HK airport. pauwi na kami ng mom ko. tapos she went to the restroom. a group of DH approached me and asked kung pwede daw makicombine ng check in baggage. i agreed. tapos nung turn ko na magcheck in i asked the one from cebu pacific kung pwede ba ipangalan dun sa isang dh yun mga check in bags since hand carry lang dala namen. para di na kami maabala pag antay nung luggages nila sa NAIA. the lady told me that random daw ang pagpili nung name so as to avoid yun mga nakikisabay na hindi naman magkakakilala para makatipid sa bayad ng excess baggage. good thing yun napili niya is from someone from the group of dh din.

when my mom came back. napagalitan niya ko.. kasi nga hindi ko naman alam kung ano laman nung mga maleta nila.. baka daw magkaprob yun madadamay pa kami..

there.. i learned my lessons..

[prettynvain]

^ naku sis. delikado mga ganyan.

anyway, pwede kaya magdala ng crabs? as in di pa luto. inlaws ko kasi mahilig sa crabs, so gusto ko magpasalubong. super mahal kasi crabs dun eh.
mga 5-6pcs lang na malalaki.. lagay ko siguro in a box tapos checked-in?

[alpha_ni_08]

^^sis delikado nga. buti na lang wala naman naging problema.

^^pwede magdala ng crabs sa check in baggage basta frozen. ganyan ginagawa ng tito ko from australia eh. ganyan kasi business nila. pinapatulog yun crabs sa yelo. nagiging frozen tapos saka nila binabalot. sa check in baggage nila nilalagay.

[prettynvain]

^ah ok sis. so buhay pa yung crab, right? yun kasi iniisip namin. if buhay or patay. imagine 1 crab na malaki is 600pesos (equivalent). eh samantalang dito 100pesos lang.

[ms.rain]

^wow, uwi mo rin ako ng crabs! hehe. jk!
nag-uwi naman kami before ng lobsters. okay naman.

before, may nag order rin sa amin ng crabs, pero luto na, plus pata, luto na rin. dinala sa taiwan.
