None - lahat naman ng bagahe daraan sa xray pagpasok sa NAIA so makikita kung meron mang kahinahinalang laman ang bagahe. Kung meron man, dun kailangan buksan at suriin.

Ngayon kung sakaling over ka sa baggage limit, kailangan mo ilipat ang mga sobra sa ibang mga bagahe. . O magbayad ng over-weight baggage fee. Dun sa check-in counter malalaman yan.

Paalala lang, ang packaging tape para sa ibang airlines ay bawal o kahinahinala - bunsod marahil na maaring gamitin pangapos sa mga tao o gamitin sa ibang di mabuting paraan sa loob ng eroplano, kayaa asahan na hindi papayagan ilagay sa cabin baggage ang mga ito matapos gamitin sa pag sarado muli ng mga kahon.

God bless you!

Hi guys,

I have been looking into tickets at some travel agencies and also online. I noticed that online ticket for PAL only costs $500 (upto $525) at the moment, all inclusive of taxes (apart from airport tax) Manila to Vancouver. But the catch is that this price only consist of 1 piece of luggage. According to the online websites (i.e. Expedia), there is an additional charge of $50 for the 2nd piece of luggage.

However, we cannot pay online for this extra pc of luggage, it has to be paid while checking in. My worry is that I read in another forum that a passenger was asked to pay 5,700 pesos/luggage for her 2nd luggage. Seeing that there is always a complication with the processing in my application, I want to avoid these extra hassle on my flight. LoL

Has anyone ever bought a ticket online? And has paid only $50 at the check-in counter?


Thanks guys for any help.

Did not buy a ticket online, but paid $75 at the NAIA counter for an extra piece of baggage travelling between MNL to Toronto via China Airlines/Air Canada. This often happens when you have codeshared flights in your itinerary; depending on the agent, and who is the main carrier and who is the code-shared itinerary. In my case, the main carrier is AC, which only has a 1 checked-in baggage policy, and because it is AC which services the longer leg of my flight, with China Airlines as code-shared.

On our last vacation - we booked CX all the way - thus we had 2x carry-on baggage. Shouldn't PAL have a 2 checked-in baggage policy? Their MNL to Toronto flight has 2 checked-in baggage as part of the free baggage allowance. Their web info shows 2 for MNL-Vancouver.

Hi ricoceliks, I'm not sure if this comment will help you, but I saw another discussion board specific for those who are already in canada and will apply or have applied for PR. Since you are of their same stature, I think they can help you.

God bless!

Thanks ragluf, so, despite buying from an agency, you still had to pay extra?

I spoke to PAL yesterday, they told me that the flight with only one luggage is for their sale tickets, but I can pay $50 for the extra 2nd pc of luggage when I check in. I mentioned to them that I was worried that I might be charged more because I cannot see that in their policy, only in Expedia and other online websites. That's why I am asking around if anyone has had a flight as such, because as I said earlier, someone had to pay 5,700 pesos (and it seems like that is equivalent of $150 instead of $50).

I hope someone had an experience of buying online sale tickets and paying extra luggage.

What is the proposed itinerary? PAL all the way to Vancouver (with Vancouver as the final destination)?

hi guys. last week was a very busy week for us. we manage to booked all seminars including PDOS in a week stretch. CIIP and COA are a big help if you have some spare time please do attend this seminars. i also meet some of our fellow forum mates at CIIP and COA which is really fun to see them in person.

i already booked a flight for MAY 9 via Narita (ANA) to Vancouver (CA). i am used to this connecting flights that's why i pick this is because it's much cheaper than the PALs ones. for my son and wife which they will have their flights on OCT. but as early as this month i'm gonna book their flight so it's cheaper coz they gonna use PAL because it's my wife's first time to travel so direct flight is highly advisable. any of you got the same flight as me? hit me back ok?

god bless you all!

Guys, PPV arrived today without any changes on my ECAS to DM.

So happy, but the expiration of my visa is 8 May 2014, why is that? I thought it is based on the medicals? Should I get in touch with the embassy regarding this?

Congrats Tabs... thanks for your sharing your experience and it helped us in anyway while we wait for ours to come... Good luck and God bless!

Hello,

I've been reading this forum for quite sometime now and got alot of very useful information. I have some questions which I hope somebody can answer:

1. Will they ask for the copy of the old passports?
2. CIC is asking for Travel History (Supplementary Information). Do they check the travel history with DFA or any agency?

Thank you and I hope somebody can shed light with these questions.

1. No need for the old passports . But you need to safekeep it , It might come in handy in the long run.

2. im sure they are checking it and it is a part of their document review. whether they check it or not, you have to provide accurate travel history.

Just looking into Manila to Vancouver flights, April 14 (or 15/16/17/18). Doesn't have to be direct flight if the prices are cheaper.

My friend from Vancouver will get me the flight to Winnipeg.
