Travelers packing extra belongings for their Undas trip can spread their checked baggage across multiple bags, AirAsia Philippines said in an October 23 advisory. The airline places no limit on the number of checked pieces, provided their combined weight stays within the purchased baggage allowance.

Passengers may choose baggage allowances ranging from 15kg to 60kg, with each individual bag limited to 32kg. The flexibility concerns the number of bags passengers can check in; the purchased weight allowance still applies.

AirAsia Philippines said travelers can save up to ₱919 by pre-booking baggage online instead of purchasing it at the airport. Additional baggage can be pre-booked up to two hours before scheduled departure.

For cabin baggage, passengers may bring one cabin bag and one small bag, with a combined weight of no more than 7kg. Travelers can review the airline’s cabin baggage guidelines before packing.

With higher passenger volumes expected during Undas, the airline also reminded travelers to allow extra time for airport procedures. Queues may be longer at security screening, baggage drop, and immigration checkpoints.

Passengers, including those under group bookings, are encouraged to complete self check-in through the AirAsia MOVE app or AirAsia website. According to the advisory, self check-in is available from 14 days until one hour before departure.

Airport check-in counters close 60 minutes before international departures and 45 minutes before domestic departures. The airline urged passengers to finish baggage drop and proceed to their boarding gates early.

Travelers can also check their flight status before leaving for the airport.

The advisory includes specific reminders for passengers who need additional assistance. Guests with reduced mobility or special needs must check in at the airport counter. Those who are pregnant or traveling with existing medical conditions are advised to bring relevant medical certificates or documents clearing them for air travel, for presentation at check-in.

For AirAsia Philippines flights departing from NAIA, domestic departures operate from Terminal 2, while international departures operate from Terminal 1, according to the airline’s advisory.

The reminders come as AirAsia Philippines reports stronger domestic bookings ahead of Undas. Caticlan, Bacolod, and Iloilo are among the destinations seeing increased activity as passengers plan family reunions and holiday trips.

The airline is also seeing increased bookings to Manila from domestic destinations such as Cagayan de Oro, indicating demand in both directions during the holiday period.

AirAsia Philippines expects passenger demand and load factors to increase further as travelers finalize their plans. It encouraged passengers to book early for their preferred travel dates, noting that fares may rise closer to departure as demand grows.
