Folding umbrella's in NAIA [MNL]
I fly through NAIA all the time. But apparently in the last few days they have implemented some crazy new scheme whereby little folding umbrella's are no longer allowed in hand luggage. HUGE hassle (as I had not checked bag). What a crazy idea. Beaten to death by a flimsy folding umbrella.... not. Anyone any idea why?
