mga sis, ok lang ba magdala kami mga shampoo, soap, coffee, sugar na sachet? Hindi naman ba bawal sa immigration? Para sana di na kami bibili sa HK.

[prettybarbie]

hindi bawal basta lagay mo lahat sa check in

[fleur_de_liz]

thanks sis prettybarbie.. Ano ano lang ba ang mga hindi pwede dalhin? Gamot ba is bawal? I read kasi before na na-hold daw sila sa immigration dahil nakita yung imodium sa bag nya.

[akireyhoj]

Sis ako nasa hand carry yung mga medicines na dala ko di naman ako na hold

[prettybarbie]

pwede meds....wag lang mga liquid

[auburn]

Question po, anong exit ng MTR ang nasa tapat mismo ng Golden Crown?  Tsaka, is this the exit closest to Avenue of Stars?  Thanks po.

[akireyhoj]

Sis di kami nakapag exit near gc eh pero iba exit nung sa avenue of stars. Malapit lang exit din sya halos sa GC 2 blocks away ata

[sophitia]

Mga sis, question Lang... First time sa hk kaya pasensya na po kung medjo off yung tanong. Hehe. mahal ba taxi sa hk? Gusto kc sana namin ni hubby masulit ang stay namin kaya iniisip namin na mag taxi na Lang from hotel. Okay ba taxi dun at safe ba? Or wag na. May tour package naman kami kaso Hindi nasama ng agent namin yung sa disneyland at ocean park kasi so I'm wondering if magta taxi na Lang kmi from the hotel to get there. Many thanks mga sis!

[akireyhoj]

Sis 20HKD flagdown rate nila.

[prettybarbie]

^^ mas convenient and cheaper kung mag MTR ka na lang

[sweetarwen07]

^ang mahal pala.  how much kaya abutin ng taxi namin from HK ferry station to the airport?

[prettybarbie]

more or less HKD 300

[sweetarwen07]

^thanks sis prettybarbie!

sana pala kung pwede MTR, yun na lang.  mahal ng taxi.   

[fleur_de_liz]

hindi bawal basta lagay mo lahat sa check in

ano ano lang ba ang hindi pwede dalhin sis? kasi i remember i read someone's post na na-hold daw sya sa immigration kasi may nakitang loperamide sa bag nya.. bawal ba mga gamot? how about deo, lotion, body scrub? pwede kaya yun?

[akireyhoj]

^ sis wag mo ihand carry yung mga lotion etc. inaalis nila yan i check in mo yan. sakin kasi ang dala ko sa medicine kit ko is biogesic, decolgen,imodium,buscopan tsaka kremil-s. hindi naman sya naharang. altough ang dala ko kasi is 4pcs each.

[mama squeak!]

^^You can bring meds for personal use in your hand carry bag. I have done that several times and no worries naman. I'll be leaving for HKG on Wednesday and my maintenance meds and vitamins will be in my handcarry bag. Basta pang personal use lang talaga yung dala mo meaning hindi sya maramihan na parang pambenta na.

As to liquids in handcarry bags, pwede din sya basta you follow the specified amounts. Here's a guide:

Allowed LAGs (liquid, aerosol, gel/creams) in a hand carried/cabin bag:

- LAGs should be contained in 100ml or less bottles/jars 
- total number of 100ml containers should fit in a 1 liter plastic bag. In essence a total of ten (10) 100ml containers ang pwede sa isang (1) liter bag or the total LAGs mo is 1 liter.

Pero note na dapat ang lalagyan is not more than 100ml. Hindi mo sya pwede ilagay sa 200ml na bote tapos kalahati lang ang laman which makes the quantity 100ml. Confiscated pa rin yan.
