Hi everyone

Just registered with this site. Good to know there are people about who seem to share the same interests as myself!

Am off to the Philippines soon - 10 September. Please can someone tell me how much is the airport tax and when do I pay it? I haven't been back for more than 10 years hence am not sure about this. Also, how much luggage can I take with me there and back?

Thank you in advance to your replies!

On the two occasions when I journeyed to the Phils last year, I flew Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary Silkair. I'd NO Travel Tax to pay, :NoNo: as this was included in the Economy Class fare; likewise, on the return trip. However, coming back again, I'd to [unexpectedly] stump up 550 pesos :REGamblMoney01HL1: Departure Tax on leaving Davao International. Don't know what the other Philippine airports charge ... with the exception of Manila, which is/was 750Php.

I understand the baggage allowance at check-in is something like 20kg and [if my memory serves me correctly] 7 kilos for hand luggage. Bear in mind, though, :rolleyes: that these amounts MAY vary according to which airport you travel from/to. Presumably in your case [excuse the pun] it'll be Heathrow on the initial outbound flight.

Welcome to the forum, Deblyn, and enjoy your stay in the Pinas. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Welcome here :)

There IS no standard luggage allowance - you really need to check online to see what the weight limit is for both hold luggage and hand luggage. Ive seen limits as low as 10KG for hold luggage and with £25/kg extra. This is excessive, but check it out on the airlines site before you travel to make sure you know what to expect.

Have a great time :)
