Hello,
Looking for anyone who had any issues with carrying their regulator set on board and not checking-in their regulator.
I ask because once two of friends weren't "allowed" to carry on their regulators departing from Manila, Philippines. They quickly handed over around $10/person and the airport security guard (right before you enter the boarding area) let them through. This occurred about 1.5-2 years ago.
Since then, we make sure to check-in our regulators when departing Manila so that we don't have to deal with having to pay a "regulator check-in fee" to the airport security...
But I'm constantly near the 20KG limit so I'm trying to see how likely this occurs to people, especially outside Philippines.
Thank you.
