“All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go,” sang John Denver in his classic tune “Leaving On A Jetplane.”
When you are preparing for a flight, packing your things can really take a huge amount of your time. Aside from making sure that you won’t leave behind important items, you also have to keep in mind the guidelines set by your chosen aircraft carrier.
If you are boarding a Philippine Air Lines, here are some reminders you should observe to avoid potential hassles along the way.
Liquid
When bringing liquid, make sure that you put them in an airtight plastic bag or a ziplock. Cabin pressure changes can cause leaks even if the bottle or container has been sealed well. Also, take note that liquids, aerosols and gels in 100ml containers are only allowed as carry-on luggage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Valuables and Fragile Objects
Never put fragile objects, valuables (such as cash, jewelry, and electronic devices) into your checked baggage. You should instead bring them with you in your carry-on bag. Sharp Items, on the other hand, should be in the luggage.
Lighters
Any type of lighters is not allowed on the plane – or even in the airport – so don’t even bother.
Meat and Poultry Products
Thinking of bringing some “pasalubong” for your overseas friends and co-workers? Well, you have to know that U.S. Customs and Border Protection have implemented a restriction of carrying meat and poultry products onboard whether it is cooked or not.
Television
Yes, it is possible to bring your favorite TV with you but there are certain conditions. First off, they should be a checked-in baggage. Also, you should be willing to be assessed and to pay for the excess valuation fees. You will likewise be asked to sign the Declaration Release and the Limited Release tag (which are specifically issued for television).
In case you have trouble locating your baggage in the airport, you can call PAL’s office at (632) 851-3011 and 832-2939. You may also send a fax at (632) 879-6028 or drop an email via [email protected].
