then have a more than 1L bath lotion i wanna bring too..huhuhu! as in i dont want to leave it behind..plus some 1000ml spray net..hehehe!!! (which i might need to use on my wedding and ayaw ko na bumili) ...what is the maximum allowed liquid sa check in? makakalusot kaya sa check in ito?

i'll be bringing too my electric sewing machine which weighs 13.2 kg...ok lang ba un?

about the hand carry...i'll have my laptop, my violin and un trolley which will be 7kgs...ok ba un? or i need to put my violin in the check in? i dont wanna leave it behind...

Madz,

If you will check in all your perfumes and knick-knacks, you won't have any problems. You're supposed to only carry liquids not exceeding 3mL (no aerosol) and put them in a quart ziplock bag (if you don't have it, they sometimes provide it at the airport) so for everything else, put them in your check in luggage.

na amazed naman ako you play the violin,i admire people who play musical instruments specially violin and drums

well to answer your questions, ang alam ko pwede ang mga liquids pag naka check-in hindi pwede ang hand carry, some airlines allows less than 100 ml for handcarry kaya lang to be sure check-in mo na lang baka ipaiwan pa nila, inquire w/ your airlines kung ano ang weight limit ng luggage both for check-n and hand carry kasi it varies, i'm not sure kung for check-in ang violin, para atang nakakatakot i check-in,mas ok ata na hand carry

Hi there Madz, Looks like you got most of your questions answered already but I would highly recommend that you carry on your violin. I'm sure you have a case for it but even so I wouldn't take any chances. The way the baggage handlers at the airports throw your luggage around I wouldn't take any chances. Good luck and God bless. Mike

IT'S NOT THE DESTINATION ITS THE JOURNEY...AND WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS BEEN

I would also suggest contacting Phil Air or (PAL) to see what suggestions they have. Your trolley and laptop or trolley and violin would count as your limit for carry-ons. The baggage insurance is not enough to cover damages to a computer or especially a violin.
