UTair Airlines official allowed amount of baggage. UTair baggage and hand luggage rules. Acceptable baggage allowances
One of the largest airlines in Russia, Utair, guarantees the following free baggage allowance per passenger:
in business class- maximum 40 kg
in comfort class- maximum 30 kg
in economy class– maximum 20 kg
wherein:
*
The owner of the “VIP Status” card can carry 10 kg free of charge in addition to the norm;
*
owner of the “PREMIUM Status” card – 5 kg.
When traveling on a charter, all baggage will need to be packed into a minimum number of bags, since on some routes restrictions have been introduced not only on the weight, but also on the number of bags checked in as baggage. The free baggage allowance should always be specified on the purchased ticket in the “Free Allow” column. Always remember that this standard includes all travel bags, carry-on luggage and gifts for friends made in duty-free.
Carry-on baggage allowance– only one bag weighing a maximum of 5 kg, limited to dimensions of 55x40x20 cm. With the permission of a Utair airline employee, the weight of hand luggage may exceed 5 kg, but only if the overall dimensions are less than 115 cm.
Personal items required during the flight are not presented for weighing: baby and diet food, personal documents, laptop, camera, press, cane, clutch, case, video camera, warm clothes. They are carried free of charge.
Infants (up to 2 years old) flying in the arms of their parents without a separate seat do not have the right to free baggage allowance.
A passenger traveling with a child may, if desired, carry only one stroller or portable cradle free of charge. At the passenger's request, a cradle for a baby can be provided in the aircraft cabin. When leaving Russia with a minor child, do not forget at home permission for the child to leave from the parents, guardians, and adoptive parents.
Paid according to the actual weight for each kg of weight, taking into account the container for transportation at the rate for excess baggage, listed below:
* bulky sports equipment;
* greenery;
* all representatives of fauna (snakes, cats, dogs, birds, bees...), except guide dogs;
* each piece of baggage heavier than 32 kg or large with dimensions greater than 203 cm (the sum of width, length, height)

Depending on the direction and duration of the flight, the price for 1 kg of excess baggage ranges from 5 to 16 US dollars. When flying from Dubai, you must pack your purchases in suitcases weighing less than 30 kg, otherwise you will not be allowed to check-in. Luggage weighing more than 30 kg will not be accepted.
If a passenger buys an additional seat (for personal comfort, transporting a passenger on a stretcher, storing valuable luggage, household appliances, musical instruments in the aircraft cabin), then the free baggage allowance applies to only one seat.
Allowed when traveling in a group combine free baggage allowance. This is very convenient when traveling. If the norm for two people in economy class is 40 kg, then having two bags of 25 kg and 18 kg, you will not have to pay extra for one bag being overweight by 5 kg.
You can transport special cargo in a separate seat in the aircraft cabin - if it can be freely placed in the passenger seat, secured securely, and the weight of this cargo is less than 80 kg. A separate place for such baggage must be agreed in advance with the airline and paid at the appropriate rate. Loading, unloading, and safety are ensured by the owner of the luggage. For the declared value of your trunks, you need to pay an additional fee.
The passenger's baggage is transported on the same flight and on the same aircraft as the ticket holder. In the event of force majeure, the remaining luggage will be sent on the next flight to the traveler's destination.
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War are entitled to one free flight per year; a discounted ticket can be purchased by presenting a veteran's ID and personal passport upon purchase.

Aeroflot can be considered a completely “friendly” company towards passengers. Aeroflot allows you to take 10 kilograms of hand luggage on board (for business class passengers - up to 15 kg), in addition, Aeroflot has seasonal special luggage. offers that allow you to carry sports equipment in your luggage for free. You can carry a set of skis (skis, poles, boots, helmet), a diving kit for free, and if you are heading to Cuba, you can check a bicycle in your luggage (I personally know people who have tried this on themselves).
According to new Aeroflot rules, you now need to monitor the weight of your luggage (no more than 23 kg) and overall dimensions (158 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions).
On Aeroflot flights you can carry free baggage for:
- economy class - 1 seat (no more than 23 kg);
- economy class (exclusively for the Premium Economy, Premium Comfort fare group) - 2 seats (no more than 23 kg each);
- business class - 2 seats (no more than 23 kg each).
If you are a member of the Aeroflot Bonus loyalty program, which I wrote about earlier, you can count on one more piece of baggage (exclusively for holders of gold and silver cards).
If you are flying on an Aeroflot within the USA, then even in economy class you are allowed to carry 2 pieces of baggage weighing 23 kg each.
Aeroflot has several specific restrictions on the carriage of cargo. Since the largest state-owned Russian air carrier has most of its aircraft on lease, the owners of which register the winged aircraft offshore in Bermuda, Bermuda rules and restrictions must be observed on board. For example, there is a ban on smoking electronic cigarettes in the cabin and transporting them in luggage.
Fellow passengers, please comply with Bermuda rules on Aeroflot aircraft. :) There is nothing wrong with this, since most Aeroflot aircraft are new leased cars, and not heavily used ones.

The exception is baby food and food prescribed to the passenger by a doctor.

Carry-on baggage rules s7

In the check-in area for S7 Airlines flights there are special limiting frames with which you can check whether your hand luggage meets the established dimensions.
The Russian low-cost airline Pobeda is different from all other low-cost airlines in the world (who would have thought :)). Many passengers believe that the difference between Pobeda is not for the better.
Let me start with the fact that there is a fee for carrying hand luggage on Pobeda Airlines planes! The exception is some cases stipulated by federal aviation regulations.
The following items can be carried free of charge in hand luggage on Pobeda:
- briefcase or laptop bag (strictly specified sizes);
- handbag;
- folder for papers;
- umbrella;
- cane;
- bouquet of flowers;
- outerwear;
- printed materials for in-flight reading;
- baby food for the child (exclusively for the duration of the flight);
- cell phone;
- camera;
- video camera;
- laptop;
- suit in a suitcase;
- a cradle when transporting a child;
- crutches;
- a stretcher or wheelchair when transporting a passenger with limited mobility.
The rules do not limit the total number of such items, but you can only take one item of each type in your hand luggage (you can take a laptop bag, a camera and a bouquet, but you cannot take two laptop bags).
Low-cost carrier Pobeda has limited the dimensions of a handbag or men's briefcase to no more than 75 cm in the sum of three dimensions (35x25x15 cm).
Pobeda baggage and carry-on luggage
According to the rules of the low-cost airline Pobeda, only 1 piece of luggage per passenger can be carried free of charge (in the luggage compartment of the aircraft). The weight of luggage must be less than 10 kg and dimensions no more than 158 cm in three dimensions. Low-cost airline Pobeda allowed each passenger to take a limited list of personal items into the aircraft cabin (I indicated the list of items just above). All other things and items are transported in the aircraft cabin for an additional fee.
The price of paid hand luggage depends on the item and weight. For example, transporting a backpack, sports bag, wheeled bag, package, etc. costs from 999 rubles for each item. It is advisable to pay for all your hand luggage in advance and preferably through the Pobeda website on the Internet, since at the check-in counter you will need to pay 500 rubles more (1,500 rubles), and when boarding the plane another 500 rubles more than at the check-in counter ( 2,000 rub.).
Carriage of 10 kilograms of any checked baggage on Pobeda flights will be free! If you are traveling with a backpack, then take all the most valuable things from it (stuff it into your pockets or wherever you can), and put the backpack itself in your luggage.
There is no food on the planes of the low-cost Pobeda airline, and bringing food on board is subject to an excess charge, so either sit and starve, or hide the food in your handbag. :)

Carry-on baggage allowance on planes
Today people prefer to travel by air. Of course, when you fly somewhere on vacation, you will have to take things with you. But often people book tickets in a hurry and then overpay for it. Let's talk about UTair to clarify the standards of this carrier.
Most recently, the airline updated its tariffs for flights and baggage transportation. Since April 1, 2016, the carrier has the following 4 tariff groups:
- “Easy” is the most affordable and simple tariff;
- “Promo” is a package that is purchased by the majority of clients;
- “Standard” – a tariff plan that provides an extended service;
- “Flexible” – provision of comprehensive services by airlines.
In each travel package, passengers find benefits that regulate baggage rules. UTair Airlines complies with established standards and monitors the fulfillment of conditions by customers. It is worth remembering that each tariff provides for a specific level of service, which is included in the ticket price.
New prices have been introduced by airlines to take into account the possible interests of travelers. Now each person independently chooses a range of services, excluding unnecessary services. In fact, the company’s employees call the introduction of the new “Light” plan an innovation. Here the passenger has the right to take the only place for hand luggage. Additional services will have to be paid separately.
Now you need to figure out what the cost of baggage transportation is within the current tariff schedules. After all, the listed service level options provide for free transportation by the passenger of things that will take up one seat in the aircraft cabin. The permissible weight of hand luggage here is ten kilograms. However, it is not available to all clients. Let's clarify the nuances of airline innovations in detail.
The nuances of transporting things in the cabin
The dimensions of UTair hand luggage fit into the frame of 55x40x20 cm. The “Light” air fare includes a free piece of luggage for the carriage of client property with the specified dimensions. However, airlines have added a list of additional items here to increase passenger comfort and comply with international norms. According to the carrier’s rules, such a list includes the following items:
- umbrella;
- telephone;
- camera or camera;
- flowers in a bouquet;
- laptop;
- clothes in a suitcase;
- cane, crutches or wheelchair for people with disabilities.
These items are not registered or submitted for weighing. Of course, items are not subject to labeling. In the case when a person has purchased an air ticket with the “Light”, “Flexible” or “Standard” fares, such airline client receives one piece of carry-on luggage free of charge. For the “Business” tariff, there are already two seats available here. These conditions regulate the carriage of things that the company calls “hand luggage” on a UTair aircraft. The dimensions and weight here are defined by clear limits, exceeding which will require additional payment by the client.
Rules for transporting property in the luggage compartment
Purchasing the economical “Standard” and “Flexible” packages allows you to transport luggage that weighs up to 23 kilograms and does not exceed the total dimensions of 2,030 millimeters without additional fees. If you booked a ticket with the “Light” fare and do not fit luggage up to ten kilograms, you will have to pay extra at the airport for excess luggage from 24 to 45 euros.
Travelers who have purchased a business class ticket occupy two free seats in the baggage compartment. Moreover, the weight indicators here are increased to 32 kg. In addition, such a flight plan includes free and skip-the-line access to the flight.
If a child under two years old is traveling with his parents, the norm for such a client is 10 kg of luggage with the sum of the sides of the bag being 55x40x20.
Moreover, the belongings of a minor passenger are either carried in the cabin or registered and handed over. It is worth remembering that sports equipment is not considered a free transportation class under the “Light” tariff schedule. In such situations, clients pay for this equipment at the airport terminal.
Criteria and standards for additional payment
When transporting items that exceed the rules established by the airline, the passenger pays for the excess. A place for such luggage on direct domestic flights costs 2,000 rubles. On transfer flights the fee will be 3,000 rubles. If you have to fly abroad, you will have to pay 25 euros for an extra seat on direct routes and 50 euros when the plane is on a connecting flight.
Overpayment for weight and excess size of 203 cm implies similar tariff schedules, provided that the standard is exceeded by up to 32 kg. When a suitcase weighs up to 50 kg, when flying within Russia on a direct flight, the passenger will have to pay 4,000 rubles. A route with transfers here requires payment of 6,000 rubles. A direct flight to other countries will cost 50 euros, and a flight with connections will cost 80.
Separate rates apply for flights to populated areas in Asia or the Far East. Here, an “extra” seat if you weigh up to 32 kg or exceed the size of 203 cm on direct flights within Russia will cost 3,000 rubles. On connecting flights, the contribution amount has been increased to RUR 4,000. International direct routes are paid at the rate of 35 euros, and transfers - at fifty conventional units.
If the weight of luggage is above 32 kilograms, but does not exceed 50 kg, flights that fly directly across Russia will cost an extra 6,000 rubles. A similar trip on a transit route will cost 8,000 rubles. If we talk about international flights, direct routes are priced at 70 euros. The excess transfer fee for flights abroad will cost 100 euros.
Exceptions and nuances
On some domestic routes, excess baggage is charged at a rate of 2% of the nominal air ticket price per kilogram. When flying on routes from Ganja and Nakhichevan to the capital, excess baggage will cost 70 cents per kilogram. Since the beginning of 2016, it is permissible to transport items weighing up to 30 kg for the Moscow-Pevek flight and back. Moreover, the luggage allowance under the passenger seat has been reduced to 5 kg, and airline customers pay 420 rubles for excess luggage. for every extra kilogram. On routes with a transfer, excess baggage will cost 520 rubles/10 € per kg.
From June 8, 2016, the cost of excess luggage for flights from Lankaran to Surgut and to St. Petersburg will be 1 euro/kg. In addition, there are exceptions for free transportation. Airlines have compiled the following list here:
- traveler's accessories, the total size of which is more than 2 meters 3 centimeters;
- items weighing more than 23 kilograms for travel in economy class or 32 kg for the Business fare;
- animals except guide dogs that accompany passengers.
Transportation of luggage, which is indicated in the list, is paid by passengers in accordance with the rules and tariffs of the airline.
When the client intends to transport excess baggage that does not fit into the framework of several indicators, such items are paid according to the amount of the stipulated rates for each category. If the weight of the transported property exceeds the limit of 50 kilograms, the passenger agrees in advance with the carrier the conditions and amount of transportation.
Excess baggage is checked in at a separate counter at the airport. If there are no free seats on the airliner for transporting cargo, the airline refuses the client such services.
Transportation of sports equipment
If the company's conditions are met, the passenger has the right to carry a set of ski equipment. This kit includes a set of skis that weighs around 23 kilograms. In addition, the traveler carries a case for this equipment and a pair of special shoes with a helmet. The same standards apply for the transportation of snowboarders' equipment. If you are carrying an incomplete set of sports equipment, you will have to pay a separate fee for transporting such items.
Sports equipment is transported only in accordance with strict airline regulations
You can transport a bicycle weighing up to 23 kilograms for free. But it is worth remembering that the transport will have to be specially packaged. The steering wheel is tightly secured and the pedals are unhooked. The equipment is wrapped in polyethylene or the equipment is placed in a box. Hockey equipment in the form of a cover for two sticks does not require additional payment. True, the rule works for equipment weighing up to 23 kilograms.
If sports equipment exceeds the permissible weight limit, the tourist pays the difference. However, exceeding the permissible dimensions no longer requires additional payment.
It is worth remembering that before departure or when purchasing a ticket, it is always advisable to clarify how much baggage costs on a UTair plane. Some details regarding the transportation of sports equipment can be obtained from the airport staff. Another option for obtaining information is the official airline portal.
Traveling with Pets
Airlines note that, if necessary, travelers have the right to take a dog or cat. Moreover, animals are not transported in the cabin without a basket. The pet is placed in a special container where the animal will be comfortable. There are holes for air circulation. The floor is made and covered with a material that absorbs moisture. The covering is fixed inside the basket.
The airline allows cats and dogs to be transported in the aircraft cabin in special transportation containers, provided they comply with the rules for weight parameters and dimensions
The maximum permissible weight of a travel bag with a pet is 10 kilograms with dimensions of 55x40x20. These dimensions allow you to place the basket under the seat. Moreover, removing the pet from the box or opening the box is strictly prohibited.
