“A carry-on bag that exceeds the allowed weight or dimension shall be intercepted and charged an Excess Baggage Charge, if applicable,” PAL said.

In addition to the free carry-on baggage allowance, the airline said a passenger was allowed to carry on-board a maximum of two of any of the following items:

– A small handbag
