Philippines Airlines Baggage Policy
Philippines Airlines Baggage Policy has updated its baggage policy to accommodate various travel needs, though allowances and fees remain contingent on route, cabin class, and fare type, making it essential to verify your specific ticket details before flying. For carry-on luggage, all passengers are permitted one standard bag plus one personal item like a purse or laptop bag; the carry-on must not exceed 56cm x 36cm x 23cm (22 x 14 x 9 inches) including wheels and handles and must weigh a maximum of 7kg (15 lbs), fitting within the overhead bin or under the seat. Checked baggage allowances vary significantly: on domestic flights within the Philippines, Economy class typically allows 30kg (66 lbs) per piece, Premium Economy also 30kg, and Business Class 40kg (88 lbs); for international routes, Economy generally permits one piece up to 23kg (50 lbs), Premium Economy one piece up to 30kg (66 lbs), Business Class one piece up to 40kg (88 lbs), and First Class one piece up to 50kg (110 lbs), though some international Economy fares may include 30kg or allow two pieces. Exceeding these weight or size limits (maximum 158 linear cm / 62 linear inches) incurs substantial excess baggage fees, charged per piece, with higher rates for overweight (e.g., 23-32kg in international Economy) or oversized/overweight bags (over 32kg or exceeding dimensions). Special items such as musical instruments, sports equipment (e.g., golf clubs, surfboards), and mobility aids have specific policies and often require advance arrangement with additional fees. Infants not occupying a seat are typically allowed one checked bag weighing up to 10kg (22 lbs) plus a collapsible stroller or car seat. PAL's updated policy emphasizes clarity and efficiency, but travelers should always consult the official Philippine Airlines website for the most current baggage allowances, fees, and restrictions tailored to their specific itinerary to avoid unexpected charges and ensure a seamless journey.
