Philippines Airlines Baggage Policy
The Philippines Airlines Baggage Policy which primarily employs a piece concept where the number of free checked bags changes based on your destination and cabin class, must be understood in order to have a comfortable flight. Economy Class passengers typically receive two free checked bags, each no more than 23 kg (50 lbs) and measuring no more than 158 cm (62 inches) in total size (length + breadth + height), while traveling to and from the US, Canada, and Brazil. On other foreign trips, the allowance is typically one free checked bag. On flights to the US, Canada, and Brazil, business class passengers are entitled to three complimentary checked bags. and two complimentary checked bags on all international flights. while First Class receives four on US/Canada/Brazil routes and three elsewhere. For domestic flights within the Philippines, Economy generally allows one free checked bag (max 23 kg/50 lbs), Business two, and First three. Exceeding this free allowance incurs significant excess baggage fees, calculated per piece and based on the route; these fees are substantially cheaper when pre-paid online via PAL's website or app. Each individual checked bag must not exceed 32 kg (70 lbs); bags over this limit may be refused or require special handling with very high fees. Regarding carry-on baggage, all passengers are permitted one standard carry-on bag (max 56 x 36 x 23 cm / 22 x 14 x 9 inches) plus one personal item like a purse, compact backpack or laptop bag. Cabin baggage weight restrictions vary: Typically, Economy permits 7 kg (15 lbs), Business permits 10 kg (22 lbs), and First permits 14 kg (30 lbs). According to IATA regulations, liquids must be transported in transparent, resealable bags that hold no more than 100 milliliters. Special items, like sporting goods or musical instruments, may be permitted as checked luggage with the proper fees and packaging guidelines, but restricted items, like lithium batteries and hazardous chemicals, are strictly prohibited. Always verify your precise allocation, route-based rules, and current surcharges on the official PAL website before to your trip, as legislation may vary and alter based on the kind of ticket.
