NAIA's answer to the Pinoy's irresistible urge to over-pack and over-stuff their luggage is to do an initial weigh-in of all suitcases and an inspection of carry-on bags to ensure that these bags are within the allowable weight and dimensions. This is a really good idea but it still hasn't deterred the Pinoys from trying to get away with heavy suitcases. We never learn, do we? Well, because of our stubborness, all check-in passengers have to queue twice: once for the weight/dimension inspection and again for the actual check-in procedure. To avoid this hassle, the NAIA porter told that the next time I travel, do an ONLINE check-in.
By presenting your home-printed boarding pass, you skip the long queues. You bags are whisked right through and tagged for check-in.
Thanks for the tip Bunny! I think as long as people think they can get away will something, they'll always try! Do Philippine Airlines offer online check-in? Just thinking of Carlo, who flies to Manila quite often.
