I dropped off my GF's dad last night at JFKennedy Airport ... Pinoys traveling ... :D

never have I seen someone other than a Pinoy who would travel that way. LoL! Most especially when I went back home to Manila last Dec.
Due to all the Balikbayan boxes that were on board, we had to refuel in Japan. :D

ganyan din itsura ng mga pinoys na nakikita ko sa Pu Dong o kaya sa Narita pabalik Manila.

when i was in Sanfo 4 years ago, ganyan din.

Ugali na ng pinoy yan....masyadong galante sa pasalubong sa mga kamag anak. At ang iba naman dyan ay pakidala o pakisuyo ng mga kaibigan sa kanilang mga relatives...

Marami akong nakakasabay sa check in counter dito sa Dubai na may excess baggages....ang sama nyan ayaw magbayad ng excess baggage fee kaya mapipilitan kang tulungan na lang(by taking their excess as your own).....Alam na kasing may limit ang bagage allowance tigas pa rin ng mga ulo.....Pinoy nga naman!

ang tawag dyan sa luggage na yan ay "KARTONITE". mas sikat pa yan sa samsonite bah!

langya....cguro sumasakit na ulo ng baggage inspectors pag nalamang puro pinoy dun sa darating na flight B).

pare-pareho pa naman itsure ng kahon nila...buti
di sila nalito

la eh...mahal plane ticket, tsaka baka di na maulit...sulitin na lang!

never pa kaming umuwi ng probinsya na wala kaming at least 3 kahon/basket na dala dala...domestic pa lang yan ha!

everytime i come home my grandparents ask for a whole luggage full of Depends-adult diapers. I always feel wierd when they ask my whats in my suitcase. Hindi ko gusto magdala ng balikbayan box dahil ang hirap buhatin sa airport. plus, they check you right away when they see a box. I never get checked in customs cause I travel light.

taking someone else's luggage as your own is kinda risky

. That's one of the questions they first ask you at the counter. If you packed the luggage yourself or not. who knows what's inside after all. Mamaya ikaw pang mahuli for someone else's goods...

just a word of warning

Daming ganyang pinoy lalo na singapore, dati pinagbibigyan ko kakaawa kase, pero ngayong mahigpit na sa security, marunong na akong tumanggi laking abala kasi. Meron nga dati nasa check in counter na ako at bigla ba namang pinapakiusap yung luggage na isabay ko dahil excess siya, tapos ayaw nung check in officer tapos nakipagtalo na yung pinoy, gulat nga ako, madadamay pa yata ako. In the end di ako pumayag mahirap na.

if you really need to help someone, what you can do is to have a "group check-in". this way their luggage will still be identified as theirs. and make sure the luggage claim tags are on their tickets, not on yours. mas mataas pa nga baggage allowance pag group check-in eh.

pero ako din i just have my hand carry bag with me, no check-in luggage whatsoever. di nga umabot ng 7 kilos bag ko eh. dati payag ako group check-in, sayang din naman kasi ibabayad nila. pero higit 5 years na hindi na ko namamansin sa check-in counter. unless of course maganda yung chick, para syempre group check-in e di tabi kami sa plane ehehehehe!
