PAL Increases Domestic Turboprop Baggage Allowance to 20 Kilograms

Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has announced a higher free baggage allowance on domestic turboprop flights starting Wednesday, 15 June 2022.

All PAL domestic flights utilizing the De Havilland Dash-8 turboprop aircraft (except flights to and from Basco, Batanes) will now offer up to 20 kilograms of Free Baggage Allowance (FBA) — a 100% increase from the previous maximum FBA of just 10 kilograms that have been in effect for several years.

The airline sees the increased baggage allowance will allow more flexibility and convenience for domestic travelers, as well as result in a uniform standard for PAL domestic flights whether operated with jet or turboprop aircraft.

Passengers holding old and new tickets issued for travel on or after 15 June 2022 will be allowed to check-in up to 20 kilograms on applicable booking classes (Economy Value and Economy Flex).

The new FBA will apply to PAL’s turboprop flights from our Manila, Cebu, Davao and General Santos hubs, including flights to Butuan, Cotabato, Catarman, Calbayog, Dumaguete, Antique, Siargao, Legazpi, Caticlan (Boracay), Busuanga (Coron), Iloilo, Tagbilaran (Panglao), Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Clark, Davao, Puerto Princesa, Tacloban and Zamboanga.

For flights to and from Basco (BSO), Batanes, the maximum FBA of 10 kilograms will still apply due to the unique route operational conditions that limit the baggage capacity on these flights.
