Re Hand-carry & check-in baggages

[mama squeak!]

^yes.   

[ohcmon]

Aside from a small bag, can I bring a maleta as a hand-carry? Purse lang kasi dinadala ko on-board before but I need the extra weight this time since medyo matagal alis ko.

[mama squeak!]

^Yes you can as long as it is within the size and weight allowed by the airline you'll be using. A standard IATA hand carry size is 22" X 18" X 10" (including the wheels). Now depende na lang sa airline you'll use if they will allow bags with sizes bigger than the measurement I gave.

Can i hand-carry my folding umbrella?

[bratty]

No yata. Kasi when we left for Sg, nakita sa baby bag namin yung two-fold umbrella, pinaiwan na. Sayang nga eh. Pero from Sg to Manila di naman kinuha.

[ohcmon]

^^^ Thank you!

[summersunder]

alam ko bawal din umbrella sa hand carry. either paiwan or lagay mo sa check in luggage
ganyan nangyari sa amin nung papunta kme ng HK.

Mga sis question lang, not sure if isolated case lang ba eto, or airline/airport rules din. My friend from CA brought home some vs fragrances 250ml each, 8pcs, nakalagay daw sa isang luggage lang. Now from manila to province na flight, nakita sa machine at na ask what are those na liquid sumagot sya na cologne spray. Pina buksan ang luggage, nung nakita na vs fragrance mist na confiscate nila, too many daw. My friend begged na wag naman kase nga naghihintay na mga naghingi ng pasalubong and may mga names naman, and di naman nya ibebenta mga yan. Nagtaka kami kase nga from CA e di naman sinita, knowing na mas strict ang airport dito. Pero bakit sa manila, sinita na, e check in naman yun. Di kaya napag tripan lang nila yung vs nya?

[lakwatsa]

^as in lahat kinuha o nagtira naman? pero kasi IMO, hindi dapat kinuha kasi nasa check in naman at di naman more than 10pcs. parang may naalala kasi ako na pag more than 10pcs per item, yun yung napaghihinalaang for business e. saka alam naman nila na pasko so pang regalo talaga sya di ba at nabanggit mo rin na may names naman.

napag interesan yun malamang. kung ako sa friend mo, at talagang gustong i-confiscate yun mga yun, id-drain ko laman nun or babasagin ko ang lalagyan.

sadyang may makakapal talaga ang mukha sa mga nagw-work sa airport e. one time nga pauwi ako galing abroad, yun isang guard dun, tahasan makapagsabi "ma'am, wala ba tayong pa-christmas dyan?" kaloka! 

[bratty]

^ & ^^ mukhang namasko ang taga-airport sa friend mo ha, sapilitan nga lang. Tsk tsk. I agree with sis lakwatsa, kung sa akin nangyari yun, itatapon ko laman sa nearest trash can. Pare-pareho na lang walang makinabang. Hehe.

[i_v_y]

malamang na pagtripan yun sis kasi yung tita ko everytime na uuwi galing NJ ang daming dalang VS, nakakarating naman sa amin.

i just want to share my experience with tigerairways, hindi sila strict (based sa experience ko) sa hand carry. Hindi nila tinimbang yung hand carry ko. Over pa ako ng about .5kls sa check in ko and they did not let me pay for it.

Hi mga sis! Has anyone tried bringing home from Bangkok streetfood like pad thai, meatballs/sausages (sana makabili din ng frozen meatballs/sausages), local sweets etc? We plan on going to Bk this coming May, and I'll be packing the food in plastic containers tapos lagay sa checked-in baggage. I hope this is okay and that it won't spoil. Cebu Pacific kami from Bk-Mla.

Thanks!

kami naka check in baggage namin victoria secret na cologne yung small size na nakalagay sa isang box, 2 box yung naka check in baggage namin pero di naman kami sinita. Cebu Pacific kami. tanong lang samin kung may liquid daw kami sa bag, sabi ko wala hahaha!!!

[beautyandfab]

hello mga sis, matanong ko lang meron na ba naka experience dito sa inyo na, kinilo yung hand carry sa cebu pacific, first time ko itry na di bumili ng check in baggage allowance. feeling ko sosobra sa 7kls ang hand carry ko, i will have a 1 week trip to bacolod, as much as possible kasi i want to travel light now. nagtataka lang din kasi ako bakit yung mga backpacker na super lalaki ng bag na northface, pinapayagan hand carry lang bag nila, do they actually pay for it? TIA po sa mga magrereply.

[little_princess]

patchi2012, they have no right to confiscate those items! pwede nila i-tax or i-question ka but just to confiscate it? type lang nila yun and they prolly divided it amongst themselves. you should complain those people.

lillix, we've done this na and no issue naman as along as you pack it properly and itago mo sa check-in baggage. though maraming loose cargo services from BKK to MNL, you can hire those na lang para mas safe.

beautyandfab, Cebu Pac is kinda strict so expect them to really weigh your stuff. minsan hindi but better be safe than sorry

[lillix]

Thanks for the info, sis little_princess!

[patchi2012]

little_princess, hindi sa kin nangyari yan sa friend ko, gusto ko din e test, i try to bring some pag uwi ko this june, lets see if e confiscate nila, if ganun nga well try ko suggestion ni sis lakwatsa, na e drain ko, para di na nila mapakinabangan.

Just got back from Europe, and flew Emirates. My two luggages' combined weight was 5.5 kgs over the limit, but they didn't ask me to pay a cent. I was already preparing the 50 euro pero kilo fee and was so surprised when the woman just handed my boarding pass. I saved so muchhhh money. love it.
