Liability Limitations

For damaged, delayed or lost baggage, the liability limitations under the Montreal Convention (for International Flights), the Philippine Air Passenger Bill of Rights (for Domestic flights) and PAL’s  Conditions of Carriage shall apply.



Special Declaration

Before departure, a Passenger may declare a baggage value in excess of  PAL’s liability limitations, provided that,  if a sector(s) of the Carriage is performed by another carrier that applies different excess value charges, PAL may refuse to accept a special declaration with respect to such sector(s).

In the event a special declaration is made, an additional valuation fee shall be charged as follows:

  • For a declared baggage value in excess of the airline's liability limitations, the charge is USD1.00 for every USD100.00. 
  • The declared value of goods must be based on evidence, with a maximum limit of USD 2,500.00.
  • For more information, please reach out to any of our check-in agents.

Each flight ticket has its own Free Baggage Allowance (FBA) policy. This Free Baggage Allowance (FBA) entitlement is valid only on that specific flight and may not necessarily apply to your connecting flights. Philippine Airlines (PAL) or other carriers may require you to pay Excess Baggage Charge (EBC) if your Free Baggage Allowance (FBA) entitlement is lower on your connecting flights.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) reserves the right to change the fare benefits, conditions and Excess Baggage Charge (EBC) without prior notice.
