Hi Jun,

I think you mentioned that your flight is on China Airways to Manila? If so, your domestic PAL flight from Manila to Butuan may be classified as a journey entirely within the Philippines and thus have a reduced baggage allowance. Better check with PAL. We always fly PAL from the US to Manila and transfer to domestic for the flight to Butuan. We are allowed 2 bags per person (70 lbs maximum each), and carry-on, domestic from Manila to Butuan.

Hi Dave,

I just looked all that stuff up on PAL's site last week also.

When we arrived at the PAL counter in LAX, the only change to what you posted is the part on carry-on baggage. Instead of one carry-on of 7 kilos(15 lbs), PAL allows a total of 20 lbs of carry-on bags.

Hi Ray,

PAL employees kept wanting to weigh my 25lb carry-on (in LA and Manila). I told them that I already did and it was OK.  LOL One guy picked it up and told me I had to check it in. I told him that it was food and drink and wouldn't weigh much when I landed. He let it go.
