MANILA — Cebu Pacific (CEB) clarified on Saturday morning its reiteration of the “one hand-carry baggage” policy, and also extended the policy’s strict implementation from July 17 to July 19.

The airline previously announced this policy and gave guidelines Friday afternoon.

CEB spokesperson Charo Lagamon earlier told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) that while it is an existing policy, there are passengers who don’t follow this rule.

Following this rule would streamline the check-in operations and help them have a more efficient experience during check-in, the carrier highlighted.

Lagamon cited more specific and additional items allowed under the “one hand-carry baggage” policy.

She clarified that passengers are allowed to bring a hand-carry baggage with a maximum weight of 7 kg. and a dimension of up to 56 cm. x 36 cm. x 23 cm., and noted that this must also fit in the overhead bin.

Earlier, the airline announced that passengers could also bring a laptop placed inside a laptop case or bag, or a handbag. CEB clarified on Saturday that this laptop bag is among the “one (additional) small bag” allowed for every passenger. Small bags should not exceed 35 cm. x 20 cm. x 20 cm. and must fit under the seat.

CEB further clarified that it will also allow items purchased inside the airport, walking sticks or canes, and foldable walkers.
The guideline for those traveling with infants remains the same. They are allowed to bring a baby bag aside from their own hand-carry baggage. (Ma. Cristina Arayata/PNA)
