Frequently Asked Questions

All airlines flying this route allow similar cabin baggage:

  • One carry-on bag up to 7 kg (15 lbs)
  • One personal item such as a handbag, laptop bag, or small backpack
Tip: Keep valuables, medications, and essentials in your carry-on in case of checked baggage delays.

Yes, but policies vary by airline. Here's a quick comparison:

Airline Max per Bag Heavy Bag Policy
Philippine Airlines 32 kg (70 lbs) Allowed with excess fees
Cebu Pacific 32 kg (70 lbs) Must split across bags
AirAsia Philippines 32 kg (70 lbs) Must split across bags
Important: No airline accepts a single bag exceeding 32 kg (70 lbs). If your luggage is heavier, you'll need to redistribute weight across multiple bags.

We recommend Philippine Airlines for guests traveling with:

  • Wedding attire or formal wear
  • Multiple suitcases
  • International connections (smoother baggage transfers)
  • Heavier checked bags (more generous allowances)

Philippine Airlines includes checked baggage in most fare types and offers more flexibility for excess weight.

No. Cebu Pacific and AirAsia Philippines are budget carriers—base fares include carry-on only.

Save money: Pre-purchase your checked baggage allowance online when booking. Adding bags at the airport costs significantly more.

Common prepaid baggage options: 20 kg, 32 kg, or 40 kg. Choose based on your needs.
