You gots to be kidding me.
I received an email from PAL regarding their new travel advisory, effective July 1, 2008. They will be putting a limit of 50 pounds or 23 kilos to each of the two pieces of free baggage on flights to and from the U.S. and Canada. That's like cutting off 1/3 from the original weight limit!!!
"PAL is constrained to take this step as a consequence of record-high fuel prices that have adversely impacted the airline industry worldwide. The International Air Transport Association has forecast a massive global industry lost of $6.1 billion for 2008. In response, most major carriers have reduced free baggage allowance or imposed new fees for checked baggage as a way of easing operational cost."
Oh puhleasee... I wonder if Cathay Pacific has done the same. I heard they have better seats - you have your own TV screen - and nicer flight attendants. Time to switch carriers.

i flew Cathay to Melb and they didnt impose any weight limit whatsoever. nyayahahaha unfortunately, the business class seats were still the old ones, not as advertised. was rather disappointed.
they probably arent worried with the increasing cost of fuel. unlike pal. always late na nga, scrimping pa. they happen to be one of the more pricey airlines. howell.
true that. Pal has higher rates than Cathay. Class..
