Philippine Airlines Baggage Allowance 2026

Economy fares to the US, Canada and the Middle East include 2 pieces at 23 kg (50 lb) each. Premium Economy raises that to 2 pieces at 25 kg (55 lb), and Business to 2 pieces at 32 kg (70 lb). Asia, Australia and domestic flights use a weight system instead, where you can split the kilos across any number of bags. On those routes Business gets 40 kg internationally and 30 kg or 35 kg at home.

PAL sells Premium Economy to North America only on Honolulu, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto flights. Mabuhay Miles Premier and Premier Elite members get about 1 extra piece or 10 to 20 kg more.

One hand-carry bag of up to 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 in) is free on every fare, Supersaver included. PAL lists only the outer dimensions and doesn't say whether wheels and handles are counted, so measure the whole bag. The same single-bag rule covers Economy, Premium Economy and Business.

You can bring 1 personal item on top of the hand-carry bag. PAL's list includes a small handbag or purse, a coat or blanket, reading material, a duty free bag, infant food for the flight, or a laptop in its case. Only the laptop case has a size: 45 x 35 x 20 cm (18 x 14 x 8 in). No weight is published for personal items.

Yes, the limit is 7 kg (15 lb as PAL prints it) per hand-carry bag. At Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver and Toronto, a bag that breaks the rules must go in the hold, and PAL may charge USD 125 or CAD 125 for it.

Domestic allowances run by fare: Economy Supersaver has no checked bag, Economy Saver has 10 kg, Economy Value and Flex have 20 kg, and Comfort Class has 25 kg. Business Value gets 30 kg and Business Flex 35 kg. Flights to Basco cap economy at 10 kg. You can split the allowance into 2 or more bags if the total stays within it.

Basco, in the Batanes islands, is the one domestic route where PAL publishes a lower economy cap.

No, on most routes outside North America and the Middle East. Japan Supersaver fares sold from 01Oct25 carry no bag except to Sapporo. Bali, Bangkok, Jakarta, Phnom Penh and the China routes dropped the Supersaver bag for sales from 22OCT25, and Australia for sales from 26Feb26. Korea follows from 05Oct26, with other economy fares keeping 20 kg. On China routes, Saver gets 23 kg, Value 30 kg and Flex 35 kg. US, Canada and Middle East Supersaver still includes 2 pieces at 23 kg.

A single checked bag can't weigh more than 32 kg (70 lb), on any route or cabin. PAL says heavier bags must be repacked or they won't be accepted. On piece routes, oversize charges start at 63 in, so keep each bag within 158 cm (62 in) in length, width and height combined. PAL publishes no upper size cutoff.

Domestic prepaid baggage costs PHP 825 for 15 kg, PHP 1,100 for 20 kg and PHP 2,750 for 50 kg per sector, at rates effective February 26, 2026. You can buy 1 prepaid block per sector, up to 50 kg, until 4 hours before departure. On US flights an extra 23 kg piece costs USD 200 prepaid, against USD 250 at the airport.

PAL sells prepaid bags under its myPAL Baggage Plus add-on, and the purchase can't be moved to another passenger or route.

At the airport, domestic excess baggage costs PHP 400 per kg, up from PHP 350 since April 10, 2025. Weight routes charge per kg, for example USD 13 from Manila to Hong Kong and USD 24 to Australia. Piece routes charge per bag: USD 250 to the US, USD 160 to the Middle East and USD 120 to Japan for an extra, overweight or 63 to 80 in bag.

Yes. Under the FurPAL program, 1 small dog or cat can ride in the cabin on domestic flights from PHP 2,500 one way, with cats added in September 2026. PAL's older pets page still says only service dogs may fly in the cabin, so we flag that conflict. Dogs and cats can also go as checked baggage if pet and kennel weigh 32 kg or less, priced under the destination's excess baggage rules. Snub-nosed dog breeds are refused as checked baggage, and emotional support dogs travel as checked pets.

PAL requires the Bureau of Animal Industry paperwork for pets, presented at the BAI office before check-in.

A first golf set costs 50% of the piece excess fee, or the price of 6 kg on weight routes. Bicycles are priced as a 62 in (158 cm) bag whatever their real size, if packed with the handlebars turned and tires deflated. Each piece still has the 32 kg cap.

Yes, 1 fully collapsible stroller, infant carrying basket or car seat per infant, subject to space on board. PAL lists it on its infant baggage page alongside the infant's own allowance.
