I am sorry if I have to repost this repeatedly. It is NOT the job of flight attendants to lift and stow your hand-carry luggage into the overhead compartments! They are required to assist persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and pregnant women, yes—but lifting and stowing hand-carry luggage for able-bodied passengers is NOT part of their responsibilities. This is a standard practice across all airlines to ensure the crew's safety and prevent health issues.

Unfortunately, those who claim it is the flight attendant's job to lift luggage are often either not involved in aviation or rely on unreliable sources with no knowledge of the industry. To those who say, "You got injured just lifting a 7kg luggage, weak!"—it’s easy to judge if you have not experienced the demands of this job.

I will continue posting this weekly to remind passengers that flight attendants are not required to lift luggage into the overhead compartments. Previously, I posted about this monthly, but with the increasing number of cabin crew injuries caused by repeatedly lifting luggage, I will now make this reminder EVERY WEEK!

Some items, such as electronic ci******es, spare batteries, gas canisters, lighters, fireworks, and bleaches, cannot be packed in checked baggage. If you're concerned about whether something you want to pack is allowed, check with your airline.

• Check-in:
You should arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure. You'll need to bring your passport, flight information, and either a paper ticket, an e-ticket with a confirmation number, or a printed itinerary with a confirmation number

Check in Luggage for Seafarers:

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows liquids, gels, and aerosols in checked baggage, but they must be packed securely and won't leak or spill during transport. The TSA recommends packing any liquids, gels, and aerosols that are over 3.4 oz or 100 ml in your checked baggage, even if they are in a secure, tamper-evident bag.

* Some other items that the TSA considers liquids include:
- Creams, Pastes, Toothpaste, Hair spray, Peanut butter, Shampoo, Soup, and Mascara.

Carry-on baggage guidelines vary by airline and airport, so it's best to check with your airline before traveling. In general, most airlines limit carry-on bags to 45 linear inches (the sum of the bag's height, width, and depth), including handles and wheels. Some airlines also have weight restrictions, typically starting at 11 lbs (5 kg). Bags must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. If your bag doesn't fit, you'll need to check it.

‼️Dear Travellers..🌐💡✈️

A flight attendant overheard a passenger ranting loudly as the plane encountered turbulence after departing from Manila. There was a weather disturbance inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). The passenger kept saying, "Anong klaseng airline ito, masyadong matagtag!" In English, he said, "What kind of airline is this? It's so rough!" The man was blaming the airline for the turbulent flight. Perhaps it's time to educate people about turbulence.

First of all, the bumpy flight is not the airline's fault when it flies through turbulence. Turbulence is brought about by weather conditions, not the pilot's flying ability. Also, turbulence is normal. It is just like passing over a rough road in a car; the ride is bumpy.

Also, the best thing to do during turbulence is to keep your seatbelts fastened so as not to be thrown around the cabin. Refrain from going to the lavatory first. Obey your cabin crew!

I hope this will give us a clearer picture about this turbulence..

Have a safe flight, dear travellers..🙏✈️🧳
