Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

Philippine Airlines liquids policy

PAL dangerous-goods guidance lists 100 ml containers in one transparent resealable 1 L bag. Route-specific security guidance permits declared infant food/formula and medication exceptions; additional gate screening may apply.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Infant allowance depends on fare and route; verify the ticket. The December 2025 conditions allow infant food and, subject to space, one collapsible stroller OR carrying basket OR car seat. No blanket extra small cabin bag is established.

Stroller

One collapsible stroller is an alternative to a carrying basket/car seat, subject to space. Confirm check-in/gate collection and delivery; aircraft-door return is not guaranteed.

Car seat

The baggage rule lists a car seat as an infant-equipment alternative, not approval to use it in flight. Confirm restraint approval and seating separately.
