Singapore airlines baggage limit for hand carry??

**n5110** · January 10th, 2009 07:07 PM

question for frequent flyers of Singapore airlines:

1.0 tutuo pa ba ang 20kg limit for check in or my consideration pa rin sila? like +2 kilos max libre .
2.0 how do the 7kilos hand carry take effect? ang alam ko kasi ever since i ride SQ hinde sila masyadong strict dito. sometimes my hand luggage is more than 7 kilos plus i have a laptop bag pa which all in all more than 7 kilos.

gusto ko lang malaman kasi im bound to manila tomorrow via SQ, para madiskartehan ko na itong bagahe ko kung papano aayusin.

sabi kasi ng friend ko na stricto na ngayon sa budget airlines like jetstar. pagpasok pa lang daw ng airport i we weigh na ang mga gamit using the 7kg rule for all hand carried bag including the laptops bag. naguguluhan ako.

maraming salamat po sa inyo

Thanks a lot sir for sharing this link, i already saw this earlier , the problem is hinde consistent ang sagot ng customer service nila like:

Articles allowed on-board

All airline members of the International Air transport Association (IATA) have agreed to observe the following baggage regulations. You may carry on board the articles listed below free of charge over and above your free baggage allowance:

A lady’s handbag
An overcoat
An umbrella or walking stick
A laptop or notebook computer
A small camera
A reasonable amount of reading material for the flight
Infant’s food for consumption in flight and infant’s carrying basket
A pair of crutches and/or other prosthetic devices for the passenger’s use provided the passenger is dependent upon them

sabi ng customer service, hand carry luggage plus laptop should be within the 7kg limit. so hinde sila consistent thats why im asking here kung sino nakaka experience. thanks for the reply.

suplado ni gh o!

hirap ng tumatanda mainitin ulo

1.0 yung 20 kg limit nila e strict sila at syempre negosyo e. all the time na sumasakay ako ng sia e laging may over sa luggage na pinoy na nagkakamot ng ulo sa check in. kung may kakilala ka na konti lang baggage e mag-group check-in na lang kayo para ma-avail mo yung hindi nya gagamitin na baggage allowance.

2.0 di kasama sa 7kg ang laptop bag. so kung yung hand carry mo e 7kg tapos may laptop bag ka pa ok lang yan. ako di na ko gumagamit ng laptop bag nilalagay ko na lang yung laptop ko sa hand carry bag. so everytime over sa 7kg ang hand carry ko, BUT if they say na need i-check-in ang hand carry ko kasi over sa 7kg sinasabi ko may laptop sa loob. most of the time ok na, minsan pa lang nila pina-alis yung laptop at weigh ulit yung bag (na op kors e 7kg na lang kasi wala na laptop saka charger). ALSO, pag hindi puno ang flight (asa ka pa, lagi puno lalo pag singapore-manila hehehe!) e di sila strict sa hand carry bag PERO dapat di ka e-ekang-ekang na bitbitin yung bag mo sa bigat at di mo na kaya ilagay sa compartment.

In my experience with SQ and other airlines inline with hand carry bags, usually the laptop is NOT included in the weight limit (includes US destinations, HK, SG, Australia and western Europe). So for those with in-cabin trolly style bags, it's best to separate your laptop (especially for those with big screens) from the trolly bag if your trolly bag is packing heavy stuff inside so the airport/airline staff will not see you struggling with it.

Even at the security check after the check-in, it's best to have your laptop outside your trolly bag because it's sure to be asked to be opened anyway. And keep your laptop in hibernate mode so if the security staff asks you to turn it on, it will be faster than if it's a full shut down.

thanks for sharing your experience guys. ganito din kasi ang pagkaka alam ko. siguro they have different policy for budget flights where they sum up all the weight of your hand carry luggage plus laptop etc. huling alis ko kasi last year pa ng march kaya naguluhan ako sa na kuwento ng friend ko. maraming salamat ulit

Ako minsan nag lalagay pa ng ibang items sa laptop backpack ko para maka bawas sa weight ng hand carry.

My experience Kung frequent flyer Gold card holder ka maske 11Kg pa hand carry they consider.
