Maleta? or Kahon?

[unica71]

Just curious how many of you guys when you travel back to the Philippines pack your stuff/pasalubongs in MALETA or BOX?

[mac326]

all the pasalubongs and things i buy for myself are inside the box.

70 lbs is enough for a 30 inch expandable luggage. Last time I went home with my mom, I brought 2 boxes, hide ko mahila hila sa conveyor. Kung maleta na may gulong, magaan lang.

mas convenient pa rin ang maleta (i hardly ever see any without wheels and a handle used for pulling the thing around). also better in case they ask you to open it up at security checks and at the customs.

I prefer a maleta pero kapag no choice na at hindi na kasya saka ako nagkakahon.

[clawed_out]

tried bringing boxes to manila once..

will not recommend doing it again... too much hassle & obvious na pinoy ka.... heheheheh

duffle bags are good & some of them has wheels attached on it.

instead of kahon eh try packing them in a plastic container na nabibili kung saan saan ...malaki din ang capasidad noon just like the balikbayan boxes

[aNgeLFire_bLue]

imbis na damit sa maleta pasalubong nalang lalagay ko dun..konting damit lang dadalhin ko lalagay ko sa overnight bag, yun lang hand carry ko...wanna avoid as much hassle as possible :D

Suitcases all the way. I usually have one huge suitcase, a mid-sized pull-on and a backpack.

box

kase yung pagbalik gusto ko la na ko dala, yung handcarry ko na lang and my oversize bag. i hate waiting in the conveyor, minsan last pang lumabas ang luggage mo, ang haba na ng pila sa immigration. ewan ko sa sunod na uwi ko, para yatang andami kong naiisip na pagkain na gusto kong dalhin pabalik!

[tin28]

kung ako lang masusunod gusto ko maleta, kaso parents ko lagi nagpapack lalo na pagdating sa mga pasalubong, kahon lagi ginagamit nila, except for one time na travel kami from manila to cali ng mom ko, ayaw pumayag ng dad ko na gamit namin kahon, nagmalaking bag na lang...

kung youre travelling alone, kung gusto mo ng kausap na pinoy, hanap ka sa linya ng may dalang kahon!

[bheeee]

suitcases... more convenient.

[SIOPAO MAN]

I usually just fedex all my stuff to where I'm going before I leave, that way all I have is one small carry-on item, and I don't have to check anything in, I don't have to wait for my baggage at the baggage claim area, after I de-board my plane I go straight to the outside; no wasted time at the airport.

maleta

i suggest that you send your pasalubong by door to door service in boxes. then you only need to bring your own stuff in your suitcase.

http://www.baynet.net/~philip/manga/images/gif/marsloop.gif hmmm...kung mga padala and mga pasalubong eh gusto ko sa box nlng para it'z not a hassle for me diba! :D hehehe...ayoko ng me daladala around the airport...gusto ko lil bag lang ang hand carry ko :bungi: hihi...

[cedar2island]

box/box o maleta/maleta o box/maleta... depende sa pasalubong. pasalubong lahat sa check-in luggage. my own stuff (very few lang, mostly underwear) sa hand-carry. and when i get to my destination, doon ako magborrow nang clothes from my cousin. same size kasi kami.

[Masquerade]

Maleta.

I don't like boxes. Kung hindi magkasya ang pasalubong sa maleta, sorry na lang, walang pasalubong.

[Sp!ker]

Maleta po. Not only is it more convenient, but it reduces that chance of your belongings getting ruined.

tanong lang po... Magkano naman po ang singil ng fedex say for one box or a luggage?

matami pong salamat

maleta na lang... kse may mum once went home to manila tapos may dala sya isang box... edi ba naka tape yun and nakatali pa para secure... pinabukas sa kanya ng security sa LAX dahil may nakitang mukhang suspicious... basta sobrang hassle yun kse di na mabalik ng mum ko yung pagkatali nya eh mej mabigat pa yung laman nung box *** nagaalangan sya na naka packaging tape lang... tapos my dad too, nabuksan na rin din ng balikbayan box sa LAX, pati yung isang friend namin... so yun, moral of the story: wag na mag balikbayan box :D

[SIOPAO MAN]

oo nga naman, bakit kasi pa kahon-kahon pa eh, alam niyo namang super higpit na ang security sa airport ngayon

[blue_jay_el]

why not both? since you are allowed to have 2 (70 lbs) baggages...

The reasone we had to use a balikbayan box is because we bought 1 box (more or les 50 small bags) of TGIF's Potato skins...sincende kasya yung box dun sa maleta...


Tip:

If you'll wanna use a box. Try filling it up w/ NON-metallic objects. That's what we did...so it was never opened when we went back to the country

[lacroix]

maleta...kasya na yong 70 lbs. sa 30 inches ng maleta. Minsan maluwang pa nga. Hassle lang yong boxes na yan.

[nothinFancy]

Backpack lang ako kung mag-travel. Wala nang pasalubong kase kung bibigyan ko ang ibang relatives ko tapos yung iba eh wala, baka magalit pa sa akin yung nakalimutan kong bigyan. Tsaka, sinasabi ko wala akong pera at gusto ko lang silang makita dahil miss ko na sila. Naks!

[soulthird]

maleta... hirap buhatin pag box na malaki e! I use an expandable black one. works fine ;)

[peksser]

damit sa maleta, then to follow na lang yung ibang things na di kasya o pwede sa box through fedex.Guys,who among you know of this special balikbayan box featured in "Entrepreneur" Magazine?

[Ice Burn]

During my Christmas trip home, I bring a suitcase for my clothes and stuff and a box for all the pasalubongs. That way when the box has served its purpose, I can dispose of it and travel with 1 suitcase back to the US.

[missfifty]

Maleta for my stuff.. and box for the pasalubongs.. i dont wanna buy another maleta just for the excess baggage that i have.. bibili ko nalang ng iba bang stuff.. hehe
