Good day we have a flight tomorrow going to Changi, Singapore. On our ticket states baggage of 40k how many baggage can we bring?

Admin Reply :

You have to take at least 2 check in bags as any one check in bag can not be more than 32 kg. So, 40 kg will have to be accomodated in two bags.

Admin Reply :

You have not mentioned the cabin class and route of travel. Nevertheless, the airline will charge some fee if you take more than free allowance of 20 kg. PLease note that weight of one check-in bag shall not be more than 32 kg.

How many pieces of check-in baggage is allowed. Like if we purchased additional baggage of 40kgs can it be in 4 baggages of 10kgs each? My route is Jakarta - Manila

Admin Reply :

Yours is a weight-concept route which means that the weight of the check in baggage is of more importance than the number of check in bags. However, the airline can impose restriction on maximum number of check in bags. Generally, you shall be allowed to take it in this way but it would be good if you check with the local office of airline for the max number of check in bags allowed.

Admin Reply :

You have not mentioned the route of flight. Please let us know that so that we can give you correct answer. One thing is clear though, that no airline will allow more than 32 kg in one bag. So, if it is 40 kg excess, it has to be taken in atleast 2 check-in bags. We need to know the route in order to tell whether you can take it in 4 bags of 10 kg each or not.

How much you charge for another luggage, is it per kilo and how much? Thank you

Please provide information about the route of flight and cabin in which you would be flying.

My carry-on will be within the weight limits and the overall size (l-w-d), but are there dimensional restrictions. My carry on measures 23.5"x 14.5" x 10"?

Admin Reply :

Yes, size is important. Yours is a total of 48 inches or 122 cms whereas it shall be 115 cm in sum of linear dimensions. Airlines are looking  for ways to make more money. It will either charge you for this or ask you to repack items to bring the size within given limts.

If Philippines Airlines quotes a 25 kl baggage allowance, is that only for checked baggage or does the 25 allowance include both check-in and carry on luggage?
