Philippine Airlines Baggage Allowance: Rules & Policy

Overview of Philippine Airlines Baggage Policy

• Checked Baggage: The type of ticket and the route you are taking will determine how much free checked baggage you can bring. However, each checked bag must not exceed 62 inches (158 cm) in total dimensions (length + width + height) and must weigh no more than 32 kg (70 lbs).

• Extra or Oversized Baggage: Your checked baggage will be considered oversized and you might be required to pay an Excess Baggage Charge (EBC) if it is larger or heavier than the permitted amount. These fees vary depending on your fare class and route.

• Buying Extra Baggage Allowance: PAL's Prepaid Baggage service allows you to purchase additional baggage space in advance if you need to bring more than your allotted amount. You can avoid additional fees at the airport and save money by doing this.
