It is very common for us Filipinos especially OFWs from other countries to accept "padala" for other people when vacationing in the Philippines. But to all Filipinos who are doing this, you should avoid this if possible to avoid problems later on your travel. This is what happens to a Filipina from Hawaii after 416 .38-caliber bullet casings were found in her luggage. The woman arrived in NAIA terminal 2 on Monday, July 2, 2018, from Honolulu Hawaii and had a connecting flight to Laoag, Ilocos Norte. The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) did not identify the woman but said she is a Filipino with US Citizenship. According to MIAA statement, a security screener monitored an image resembling a large amount of ammunition in her bag during a routine X-ray inspection. The bullet casings were later found inside, contained in a plastic bag and then placed in a box. The woman said the box belonged to her brother-in-law who had asked her to carry it. She is being told that the box contained clothes. She added that she did not know that she is carrying bullet casings. Meanwhile, the MIAA General Manager Eddie Monreal clarified that the incident is not a "tanim-bala" because the woman admitted that she carried the box. After the documentation, the woman was allowed to board her flight after the investigation that she has no intention to do harm.

No doubt, Saudi Arabia is still a top destination for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) for many years now. But with the implementation of Saudization, the "world" of OFWs and other expatriates in Saudi Arabia is getting smaller. Started in 2011 up to now, the Kingdom is slowly limiting some jobs to their locals to boost local employment of Saudis. This includes jobs that former belong to OFWs and other expats. This 2018, another batch of job categories in Saudi Arabia will be limited to locals or their nationals by the end of the year. The Saudi Labor and Social Development Ministry has issued an order that limits 12 jobs and different shops only to their citizens. It means expat workers are no longer allowed to apply for these jobs. According to ministry spokesman Khaled Aba Al Khail, starting September 11, 2018, no expats will be allowed to work in car and motorbike shops, men's and children's wear, home and office furniture, and home utensils. This will be followed by Saudization on shops that sells electronics and electric appliances, watches, and eyeglasses that will take effect on November 9, this year. This is not the end yet, because, by January next year, Saudi Arabia will also nationalize jobs at medical equipment, building materials, car spare parts, carpet and rugs and confectionary shops. This will start on January 7, 2019. Saudization starts in 2011 as part of the Kingdom's initiative to encourage Saudi national to work in the private sector.

Airline baggage rules are becoming increasingly complex and confusing. Airlines apply different rules and fees depending on the number of bags checked, class of travel, frequent flyer status and routes. The most common questions regarding baggage rules are about permissible size, weight and contents. Read below to see the Do's and Don'ts when checking in baggage. Advertisement Sponsored Links The Allowed Baggage Weight Regarding the weight of one piece of bag, box or package, each item or piece should weigh less than 26kg or 50lbs. This is an international regulation set for the health and safety of airport workers who have to lift hundreds of bags daily. If your bag weighs more than this, you may be asked to repack (or risk being denied check-in), or have it labeled as "heavy luggage" and possibly incur additional baggage cost. First and Business class passengers, as well as medical patients, can get pack much as 32kg or 70 lbs per bag. Quantity Gone were the days when you can pack more than two bags or boxes so long as the total combined weight is within the allowed limit. Airlines today implement the "piece concept." How many pieces can you take? It depends on many factors, including airline, ticket class and route. Generally, two pieces of checked baggage are allowed per passenger. Each piece must conform with the weight limit stated above. The two-piece concept is of course more common in international flights. Domestic flights usually accept one lighter piece, or no check in at all. Again, refer to your travel agent, ticket or airline for more details. Quality Checked-in bags, boxes or packages must be packed neatly. It should be able to maintain its shape throughout the travel. Most airlines and airports will not accept round or irregular-shaped items like baggage wrapped in linen or blankets. Packages must have at least one side flat, so items must be packed accordingly. Items like bicycles, wheelchairs, baby strollers and golf bags are still allowed, but it is recommended that they be wrapped neatly. Most airports now have the facility for wrapping, at a cost of course. This also avoids unnecessary damage to them. Label your luggage accordingly, putting name (initial and family name) as well as city and country of destination -enough to trace your luggage in case of loss. Too many details is a safety and privacy issue. Putting nylon or similar cords or ropes around your baggage is also discouraged by airports as they may get tangled in the conveyor systems and cause overall delays. Dimensions Aside from the weight factor, each checked-in package must meet a specific dimension. Each bag or box should not exceed 158 cm or 62 inches when adding the dimensions: height + width + length. Similarly, an exceedingly long baggage (more than 205 cm) would require special handling (and possible extra fees). Traveling with Infants (below 2 yrs old) Infants are usually not given a seat. Tickets are either free or heavily discounted (up to 90%). They also get a baggage allowance consisting of one piece 23 kg baggage following the recommended dimensions. An extra baggage of baby trolley or tram is also accepted, though this is mostly the airline's consideration. Important Items To Keep Important items like travel documents, jewelries, electronic gadgets(with chargers), cash and maintenance medications must be kept with you (carry-on) and not in your checked-in baggage. You should also pack some extra clothes. Keep your carry on baggage light, as most airlines set the limit to 7 kg. Heavy bags can also cause injury as in some extreme cases where the overhead compartment accidentally opens and spills its contents. Check-in Time Check-in times differ from airport to airport, but the customary practice is to check-in 2-3 hours prior to departure for international travel. Destinations where the security is more strict (like USA), would require a minimum of 2 hours check-in time, but the counters will open 4 hours before the scheduled flight. Having no baggage can lessen this amount. Connecting Flights Under International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules, when two airlines on a connecting flight differ in their checked baggage allowance, the allowance that applies is the one from the first flight. Your baggage will be transferred automatically to the next airline. IATA represents 280 airlines from 120 countries. That is over 80% pf worldwide air traffic. In cases where airlines do not have interline agreements (mostly among low-cost airline operators), they will not transfer checked baggage to another airline. You must retrieve your baggage from the first flight and checke in for the connecting flight, with the second airline's baggage allowance applying. Dangerous Goods For safety reasons, all knives, sharp objects or cutting implements, whether of metal or other material, must be packed in checked baggage. Some sporting materials are included in the list (darts, javelin, guns) Recently, lithium batteries have been banned from flights, but this is limited to the batteries only. Devices that have lithium batteries (like your mobile phone or laptop) are still allowed. In some cases though, hover boards are banned by some airlines. Due to varying gun laws, some countries allow guns to be checked in while others have a total ban. Rules on checking-in firearms and ammunition are usually applied to replica firearms as well. Check your country destination in these cases. Medical syringes, such as for insulin, can be brought inside the cabin. You will need documented proof of the medical need and ensure that the material is professionally packed and labelled. Any dangerous goods in your hand-carry items, including improperly packed or mislabeled medical items, will be taken away and most likely be disposed of. Banned Items Stuff that are banned will be removed and probably not returned to you. The following are banned on any civilian aircraft and should not even be brought to the airport: Explosive and incendiary materials: Gunpowder (including black powder and percussion caps), dynamite, blasting caps, fireworks, matches, flares, plastic explosives, grenades, replicas of incendiary devices, and replicas of plastic explosives. Flammable Items: Gasoline, gas torches, lighter fluid, cooking fuel, other types of flammable liquid fuel, flammable paints, paint thinner, turpentine, aerosols (exceptions for personal care items, toiletries, or medically related items - in limited quantities in containers sized three ounces or smaller). Gases and pressure containers: Aerosols, carbon dioxide cartridges, oxygen tanks (scuba or medical), mace, tear gas, pepper spray, self-inflating rafts, and deeply refrigerated gases such as liquid nitrogen. Oxidizers and organic peroxides: Bleach, nitric acid, fertilizers, swimming pool or spa chemicals, and fiberglass repair kits. Poisons: Weed killers, pesticides, insecticides, rodent poisons, arsenic, and cyanides. Infectious materials: Medical laboratory specimens, viral organisms, and bacterial cultures. Corrosives: Drain cleaners, car batteries, wet cell batteries, acids, alkalis, lye, and mercury. Organics: Fiberglass resins, peroxides. Radioactive materials: There are some exceptions for implanted radioactive medical devices. Contact your airline for details on how to ship other radioactive materials. Magnetic materials: Strong magnets such as those in some loudspeakers and laboratory equipment. Marijuana (cannabis): Marijuana in any form is not allowed on aircraft and is not allowed in the secure part of the airport. In addition it is illegal to import marijuana or marijuana-related items into several countries like US or countries in the Middle East. Other dangerous items: Tear gas, spray paint, swimming pool or spa chlorine, and torch lighters.

Package quality must also be considered, and some airlines may also ask you to pay for warranty or sign a waiver. The largest TV which was successfully checked-in is 55 inches.
Important Items To Keep
Important items like travel documents, jewelries, electronic gadgets(with chargers), cash and maintenance medications must be kept with you (carry-on) and not in your checked-in baggage. You should also pack some extra clothes. Keep your carry on baggage light, as most airlines set the limit to 7 kg. Heavy bags can also cause injury as in some extreme cases where the overhead compartment accidentally opens and spills its contents.


Check-in Time
Check-in times differ from airport to airport, but the customary practice is to check-in 2-3 hours prior to departure for international travel. Destinations where the security is more strict (like USA), would require a minimum of 2 hours check-in time, but the counters will open 4 hours before the scheduled flight. Having no baggage can lessen this amount.


Connecting Flights
Under International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules, when two airlines on a connecting flight differ in their checked baggage allowance, the allowance that applies is the one from the first flight. Your baggage will be transferred automatically to the next airline. IATA represents 280 airlines from 120 countries. That is over 80% pf worldwide air traffic.

In cases where airlines do not have interline agreements (mostly among low-cost airline operators), they will not transfer checked baggage to another airline. You must retrieve your baggage from the first flight and checke in for the connecting flight, with the second airline's baggage allowance applying.


Dangerous Goods
For safety reasons, all knives, sharp objects or cutting implements, whether of metal or other material, must be packed in checked baggage. Some sporting materials are included in the list (darts, javelin, guns) Recently, lithium batteries have been banned from flights, but this is limited to the batteries only. Devices that have lithium batteries (like your mobile phone or laptop) are still allowed. In some cases though, hover boards are banned by some airlines.

Due to varying gun laws, some countries allow guns to be checked in while others have a total ban. Rules on checking-in firearms and ammunition are usually applied to replica firearms as well. Check your country destination in these cases.

Medical syringes, such as for insulin, can be brought inside the cabin. You will need documented proof of the medical need and ensure that the material is professionally packed and labelled.

Any dangerous goods in your hand-carry items, including improperly packed or mislabeled medical items, will be taken away and most likely be disposed of.
Airline baggage rules are becoming increasingly complex and confusing. Airlines apply different rules and fees depending on the number of bags checked, class of travel, frequent flyer status and routes. The most common questions regarding baggage rules are about permissible size, weight and contents. Read below to see the Do's and Don'ts when checking in baggage. Advertisement Sponsored Links The Allowed Baggage Weight Regarding the weight of one piece of bag, box or package, each item or piece should weigh less than 26kg or 50lbs. This is an international regulation set for the health and safety of airport workers who have to lift hundreds of bags daily. If your bag weighs more than this, you may be asked to repack (or risk being denied check-in), or have it labeled as "heavy luggage" and possibly incur additional baggage cost. First and Business class passengers, as well as medical patients, can get pack much as 32kg or 70 lbs per bag. Quantity Gone were the days when you can pack more than two bags or boxes so long as the total combined weight is within the allowed limit. Airlines today implement the "piece concept." How many pieces can you take? It depends on many factors, including airline, ticket class and route. Generally, two pieces of checked baggage are allowed per passenger. Each piece must conform with the weight limit stated above. The two-piece concept is of course more common in international flights. Domestic flights usually accept one lighter piece, or no check in at all. Again, refer to your travel agent, ticket or airline for more details. Quality Checked-in bags, boxes or packages must be packed neatly. It should be able to maintain its shape throughout the travel. Most airlines and airports will not accept round or irregular-shaped items like baggage wrapped in linen or blankets. Packages must have at least one side flat, so items must be packed accordingly. Items like bicycles, wheelchairs, baby strollers and golf bags are still allowed, but it is recommended that they be wrapped neatly. This also avoids unnecessary damage to them. Putting nylon or similar cords or ropes around your baggage is also discouraged by airports as they may get tangled in the conveyor systems and cause overall delays. Dimensions Aside from the weight factor, each checked-in package must meet a specific dimension. Each bag or box should not exceed 158 cm or 62 inches when adding the dimensions: height + width + length. Similarly, an exceedingly long baggage (more than 205 cm) would require special handling (and possible extra fees). Traveling with Infants (below 2 yrs old) Infants are usually not given a seat. Tickets are either free or heavily discounted (up to 90%). They also get a baggage allowance consisting of one piece 23 kg baggage following the recommended dimensions. An extra baggage of baby trolley or tram is also accepted, though this is mostly the airline's consideration. Important Items To Keep Important items like travel documents, jewelries, electronic gadgets(with chargers), cash and maintenance medications must be kept with you (carry-on) and not in your checked-in baggage. You should also pack some extra clothes. Keep your carry on baggage light, as most airlines set the limit to 7 kg.
