Baggage 1pc which means. Aeroflot: luggage and hand luggage. Is it possible to take more
A cherished ticket to the destination of your dreams is a wish come true for any tourist and traveler. But on the ticket, which is a small piece of thick paper (or data in in electronic format), it is difficult for companies to fit all the voluminous information on each flight. So you have to create certain generally accepted abbreviations, which the staff can easily understand. And it is sometimes difficult for passengers to recognize the nuances and rules understandable to specialists in sets of numbers and letters.
Let's try to understand, if not absolutely all the designations, then at least those that relate to checked baggage.
The airlines of the world cannot afford the luxury of agreeing on a unified baggage identification system. But they are very keen on it. For example, more and more airlines are switching to a piece baggage system (piece concept) instead of weight (weight concept).
But in order to understand where exactly on the ticket you can see the coveted code, first find the inscription "baggage allowance" or simply "bag" (in the Russian version it can be "BAG" or "Baggage"). In fact, this translates as "free baggage allowance." And already opposite the phrase (letter combination) define your parameter. The most common types you may encounter are:
The 1 pc baggage allowance on the ticket means that the passenger is entitled to one piece of checked baggage (1Piece Plan). 2 rs - respectively two pieces of luggage. And 0 rs means a passenger without luggage - such a passenger can take only hand luggage with him on an aircraft free of charge, and a large suitcase - for an additional fee.
This system has changed due to the elimination of problems with weight confusion.
The airline on the website announces its rules applicable to one piece of baggage - the maximum weight and maximum dimensions.
Each company has its own. Most often, the maximum weight varies around 20 kg in economy class and 30 kg in business class. And dimensions - up to 203 cm in the sum of three dimensions (height, width and depth of a suitcase, backpack or bag). These figures, although the most common, are not the same for everyone. Before flying, be sure to find out the exact ones specifically for your air carrier.
Depending on the airline, the designation of 1 piece of checked baggage may vary. For example: 0p, 1p or 2p. The principle is the same as described above. That is, baggage of 1 r means that the ticket price includes one suitcase of acceptable dimensions and dimensions per passenger. Most often, this is the norm for Economy and Comfort classes. Different Latin letters can stand next to the number, for example, N. In this case, baggage 1n means the same as 1p and 1pc.
By the way, the baggage-free fare on the ticket can be marked as “nil». These letters, like the previous examples, the traveler will see in the baggage allowance column. In this option, a small carry-on suitcase and a handbag or a small backpack are available to the passenger at most (check the carry-on baggage allowances in the official information from the air carrier, because they can oh so vary).
Do Russian airlines have their own baggage options?
On tickets of domestic airlines, a piece system of free baggage allowance may be indicated by the symbols "1km". But the kilometers have nothing to do with it. The baggage allowance of 1 km in the ticket means all the same one checked baggage piece per passenger. And “km” actually stands for the number of places, and not the number of kilometers to the target, as one might think. But BelAvia defines one piece of baggage in the ticket as "01p". Because of such differences, if a passenger is used to flying with one air carrier, confusion and misunderstandings arise among passengers.
It is easier and cheaper to check in your baggage directly at the time of buying an air ticket for the selected flight.
First of all, this applies to low-cost airlines. The cost of checking in a suitcase at the airport may differ significantly from the price on the website of the air carrier. Carefully study the baggage section, and you have every chance to significantly save on your vacation or business trip. Pleasant flight!
What do baggage allowances 0pc, 1pc, 1n, 1km mean on a ticket? updated: May 20, 2019 by: bagazh
He explained his baggage innovations with a desire to make life easier for passengers flying with suitcases.
And instead of two restrictions- in terms of weight and size - he also introduced a third one - in terms of the number of seats.
This is how the Piece Concept system began to operate., abbreviated as pc.
If a passenger is entitled to free transportation of one piece of baggage, then 1pc is indicated on the ticket, if two - 2pc. If the ticket is 0 pc.
Norms and limits
Luggage places have quite legible ones.
Each carrier has its own. What are Aeroflot free baggage allowance(we are talking about the economy class).
Usually 1pc of hand luggage is limited to 10 kg and 115 three-dimensional cm. And for the check-in it is 23 kilograms and 158 cm in three dimensions.
But his daughter, the low-cost airline Pobeda– free baggage allowance is much more modest – 1pc baggage allowance = 10 kg and 158 cm.
And this air carrier does not have free luggage at all - 0 pc.
In the passenger cabin of the Victory aircraft for free you can take only one item from a very limited list of personal items.
And purchases from dooty-free can be brought on board only for a fee - 700 rubles for one sealed bag or 10 euros when departing from foreign airports.
UTair and Ural Airlines 1pc baggage of an economy flight is a bag weighing 23 kg and measuring 203 cm. Standard hand luggage is 10 kg and 115 cm.
S7 has 1pc luggage- how much is this? One piece of free baggage allowance in economy class - 23 kg and 203 cm. Baggage - 7 kg and 115 cm.
Baggage pc and its allowance differ depending on the class of service. In business class, it is usually higher both in terms of the number of seats and weight.
Can pc grow?
Maybe. At the request of the passenger, 1 pc can easily turn into 2 pc if paid extra.
Different air carriers have their own nuances.
So Aeroflot calculates separately each excess:
- by weight;
- to size;
- local.
For clarity, let's take an example: you went on a flight with Aeroflot with two suitcases, each weighing 15 kilograms, and on your ticket you have 1 pc.
So, you are for the second suitcase. On an international flight, this will cost you 50 euros or 50 dollars.
Or you went on a flight with two suitcases, but this time you have one weighing 15 kg, the other 25 kg. There are two excesses - in place and in weight.
Each will cost 50 euros (on domestic flights). The total will be 100 euros.
On an international flight the total surcharge will be 150 euros. What is the 1pc baggage allowance for international flights?
If the suitcase is heavier than 32 kilograms, then you will have to pay 100 euros for flights within Russia and 150 euros for other flights.
Many airports in Europe may not accept a suitcase heavier than 32 kilograms. Local unions forbid their loaders to lift suitcases heavier than this weight.
Tip: Excess weight is more expensive than local. Therefore, if you have two suitcases, then distribute their weight so that each one is no heavier than 23 kilograms. Then your surcharge will be limited to one excess - at the place.
By the way, Oversized isn't cheap either.. A suitcase larger than 158 three-dimensional cm, but up to 203 cm, will cost 100 dollars (euro) at Aeroflot. More voluminous - over 203 cm - at 150 dollars (euros).
Pobeda has a surcharge for an extra piece of luggage is linked to the payment method. Three are offered:
- On the Victory call center website.
- At the airport ticket office.
- At the boarding gate.
The first way is the cheapest. The other two are much more expensive.
So, paying for the carriage of the second piece weighing up to 20 kilograms on the website will cost 1499 rubles, and at the airport already 3000.
Two additional (up to 20 kilograms) - 2499 and 5000 rubles, respectively.
But the third additional order and payment via the Internet will not work. Only - at the airport ticket office and every third and subsequent one will cost 3,000 rubles.
Each kilogram of overweight at Pobeda costs 500 rubles or 10 euros at foreign airports.
One piece of hand luggage (up to 10 kilograms) costs 999 rubles if you pay for it through the company's website. 1500 at the box office and 2000 at the boarding gate.
If you put two cells, then you should pay 1,799 rubles through the call center, 3,000 at the airport ticket office, and 4,000 at the boarding gate.
As you can see, it is better to decide on the transportation of things on Victory planes in advance and not to hold out until the last moment.
UTair - additional baggage compartment on domestic flights it costs 2,000 rubles, on international flights - 25 euros.
The excess in size (over 203 three-dimensional cm) and in weight (23-32 kilograms) costs the same. If the suitcase is heavier (32-50 kilograms), then the surcharge will be 4000 rubles or 50 euros.
With Siberian Airlines - the surcharge is tied to the class of service. But on average, for all excesses (number, weight, size), the surcharge is 2000 rubles. These are domestic flights.
The second additional piece of luggage for business class will cost more - 6,000 rubles. And the third and subsequent - 6000 for both economy and business class.
Also, excess weight (32-50 kilograms) for both classes will cost 4,000 rubles.
Ural Airlines - the cost of an additional baggage compartment, as well as overweight, depends not only on the class of service, but also on the direction, of which this air carrier distinguishes three: the Russian Federation, the CIS and Georgia, international.
In general, on domestic routes, the surcharge is 2,000 rubles. The most expensive excesses are in size (over 203 cm) and in weight (32-50 kilograms).
In these cases, you will have to pay 10,000 rubles. for flights within the Russian Federation, 100 euros - for the CIS, Georgia and 150 euros - for international ones.
As we see the introduction of the pc did nothing to make life easier for passengers, although this was promised by the air carriers.
Against, I got one more reason to expand the tariff scale for excess.
The established allowances for the carriage of specific cargo as main baggage or hand luggage are different for each airline. It is important for a person planning a flight in the near future not only to study them, but also to double-check for the absence of changes made the day before before departure.
For example, Aeroflot, the most popular carrier in Russia, makes adjustments to its rules every year. Given this, a person who has already used the services of an airline may make a mistake in 2020 when sorting things into luggage compartments.
Since the beginning of 2020, most airlines have adjusted their official carry-on baggage rules. If earlier passengers were allowed to take any number of things with them on the plane, provided that in total they do not exceed the established dimensions (36 * 30 * 27 cm), this year carriers are ready to offer their customers another option.
Now passengers can also carry with them things free of charge, the total weight of which is limited to 10 kg, and the dimensions are 36*30*40 cm.
In addition to this innovation, airlines allow their customers to take as hand luggage:
- sports bag, backpack or handbag, no larger than 36*30*23;
- indoor plants or a bouquet of flowers;
- outerwear (in case of a flight in the cold season);
- food and necessary things (including medicines) for a child who is also a passenger of the aircraft;
- child restraint;
- items used by disabled people when moving (for example, crutches, a wheelchair, and so on);
- goods purchased in airport shops (“duty-free”), in total not exceeding the established dimensions.
- weapons, regardless of their type;
- flammable cartridges or combustible substances;
- liquids in a volume of more than 100 ml;
- liquefied gases;
- nail files;
- corkscrew;
- nail clippers with sharp ends;
- scissors;
- knives;
- spokes.
In case of deviation from the rules and an attempt to bring more items or items from the “black list” onto the plane, the passenger will be asked to get rid of some of them (or all of them, when trying to carry prohibited items) on the spot (during check-in).
In case of refusal to reorganize hand luggage, the airline operating a specific flight has the right to cancel the previously purchased ticket of the “violator”.
Baggage rules
Baggage allowance (Aeroflot and Pobeda have very similar rules) also vary depending on the type of item itself. Having previously familiarized yourself with the requirements of the carrier regarding a specific item, the passenger will be able to avoid unforeseen situations during check-in for the flight.
Medications
Even an absolutely healthy person is recommended to have a first aid kit with him during the flight, consisting of a basic set of drugs necessary in an emergency. People with chronic illnesses, regardless of their stage, should think about and take with them medications that can be used in case of a relapse on board the aircraft.
The difference in atmospheric pressure during takeoff and landing of an aircraft has a negative effect on blood vessels and mucous membranes, so each passenger, especially a child, must have ear and nasal drops with them. It is a mistake to believe that any drug sold in the pharmacy chain without a prescription is allowed to be taken with you in hand luggage.
Most airlines do not provide for the possibility of transportation:
- antibiotics, painkillers with a strong active ingredient in the composition, as well as hypnotics and alcohol-containing drugs;
drugs for motion sickness, as well as those that include:
- phenobarbital;
- chlorphenamine;
- codeine;
- diazepam.
It is not recommended to take with you more than 4-5 packs of pharmacy products. If it is necessary to exceed this amount due to a medical condition, you should have a prescription from a doctor with you, indicating the dosages and the total number of packs required by a particular patient.
Transported drugs must have a good shelf life and be in their "native" packaging in sealed form. In order to save space, it is not recommended to pour them into separate containers, as this may arouse suspicion on the part of airport workers. If it is not possible to identify the drug, it will not be allowed on board the aircraft.
In addition to basic restrictions, some countries prohibit the import of Corvalol, Valocardin, Nise, Melatonin in any way. Before the flight, it is required to clarify with the airline in advance the list of medicines allowed for import into the country of destination.
Liquids
Baggage is also considered liquid, which the passenger takes with him. The norms of its transportation in the vast majority of airlines (including the well-known Aeroflot) are identical.
Traditionally, it is allowed to take on board the aircraft:
In addition to the above types of liquids, it is permissible to take with you any other compositions of a similar consistency as hand luggage. The only rule governing their transportation is that liquids must be packed in airtight containers with a volume of no more than 100 ml. The total volume of transported liquid should not exceed 1 liter.
All containers with liquid substances are transported in a plastic bag provided by the airline free of charge at passenger check-in (1 bag is issued per person). Liquids purchased in duty free must be in their original packaging, the integrity of which is allowed to be violated only after arrival in the country or city of destination.
Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages are also among the types of liquids allowed to be transported on board aircraft. If the drink was purchased in duty free and is in the sealed packaging of the manufacturer, airlines usually do not impose additional requirements on it.
If alcohol was bought outside the airport, it must be transported in a small bottle, no more than 100 ml (according to the basic rules for transporting liquids on an airplane). This size usually corresponds to souvenir products.
In the luggage compartment, it is allowed to transport strong drinks only in accordance with the procedure established by the carriers:
Cash
Due to the fact that not all cities and countries have the opportunity to pay for their purchases by bank transfer, Each passenger is advised to carry a small amount of cash in their hand luggage.
They can be in the currency of the home country or the country of destination (in the case of an interstate flight). The amount of money allowed to be taken on board the aircraft is governed by the laws of the destination. Russian airlines are as loyal as possible in this matter and do not set restrictions for their passengers on the amount of money they carry with them.
The only thing that the traveler should take care of is the total weight of hand luggage and the safety of their own funds. In the event of their theft or loss on board the aircraft, it is almost impossible to prove that the finances belong to a specific person.
As for flights to foreign countries, before buying a ticket, the airline's client should clarify the conditions for importing currency into the country of destination. Some of them do not provide for the import of national money, and in some of them the amount is limited from 5,000 to 20,000 dollars.
If the total amount of cash in hand luggage exceeds $ 10,000 per person, they must be declared in the prescribed manner in the customs area of the airport.
Food
Own food on the plane may be required if during the flight free meals are not provided by the airline (economy fares or short flights up to 3 hours) or the traveling person is accompanying the child.
In this case, it is advisable to have products that do not fall into the list in hand luggage. prohibited by the legislation of the country of destination or the rules of the air carrier:
- sandwiches;
- dried fruits;
- nuts;
- chocolate or glazed cereal bars;
- cookie;
- fruit;
- fruit puree (in a package of no more than 100 g);
- lollipops or caramels;
- chewing gum;
- bakery products.
If the traveler has allergies, you should collect a small set of foods that are allowed as part of the diet of a particular person.
Cosmetics
Baggage allowance (Aeroflot and other airlines publish them on their official website) also includes rules related to the transportation of cosmetics.
It is advisable to take fragile items as hand luggage, but it is important to follow the established rules of the air carrier:
- do not take on board the aircraft liquids or aerosols that are in a high-pressure canister (information about the type of packaging should be found on the canister itself);
- the packaging of a liquid cosmetic should not exceed 100 ml in volume (regardless of the actual volume of the composition contained in it);
- the number of packages of cosmetics, 100 ml in size, should not exceed 10;
- liquid cosmetics must be transported in a plastic bag.
There are no restrictions related to the transportation of dry-type cosmetics (shadows, blush) by any airline. They can be taken with you in a regular cosmetic bag or packaged in a bag, depending on the preferences and convenience for the passenger.
Animals
The transportation of animals is controlled not only by the legislation of the countries and the rules of a particular air carrier, but also by the customs service, as well as the veterinary department of the airport.
There are several ways to travel with a pet:
- check the animal in the luggage compartment in a special container;
- take it on board the aircraft.
In both cases, the owner of the dog or cat must make sure before boarding that that he is going to transport a pet without violating the generally accepted rules:
- the maximum weight of the container with the animal inside is 8 kg;
- traveling by plane is allowed only with a cat or dog;
- the total number of animals on board the aircraft at the same time must not exceed 5;
- the total dimensions of the container for transporting animals should be no more than 115 cm (it is important to consider that during the trip the animal should be able to stand up, sit down and turn around in its temporary “home”).
Although transporting animals in the hold is a dangerous act, with most airlines, this is the only way to bring the animal with you.
Sports equipment and musical instruments
Sports equipment is most often checked in as luggage. Exceptions are items that comply with the maximum dimensions established by the airlines.
Carrier safety requirements related to sports equipment typically include:
- the need for proper packaging of items, regardless of the presence of sharp corners, fragility or the number of components;
- maximum dimensions of sports equipment - 190 * 75 * 65 cm;
- oversized cargo should be reported in advance when buying a ticket (the maximum load of the aircraft depends on this).
Musical instruments are recommended to be carried in hand luggage, provided that their dimensions correspond to the maximum allowable. This advice is due to the fact that the low temperatures of a standard luggage compartment have a negative effect on most musical instruments.
In order to ensure the safety of their “creative cargo”, the passenger should take out an insurance policy for it and properly pack it in a case or other packaging of appropriate hardness.
Gadgets
Entertainment gadgets, as well as professional audio and video equipment, are dangerous to check in the luggage compartment. For this reason, until 2018, passengers were allowed to take these items on board the aircraft in excess of the maximum size of hand luggage.
This rule has been revoked. Now, when taking a tablet, laptop, camera or other equipment with them, the passenger must make sure that its weight, together with the rest of the hand luggage, is within the allowable limits.
Otherwise, such baggage will have to be abandoned on the spot, paid extra for an additional piece of hand baggage (not provided by all air carriers) or moved to the baggage compartment.
Smartphones are not subject to restrictions, as they have a minimum weight and are not capable of creating an overload on board an aircraft.
What does baggage allowance mean in air tickets, designations 0pc, 1pc, 2pc
Baggage allowance (Aeroflot and other major airlines create the most loyal rules for their passengers) imply the use of special terminology. The most frequently asked question is the mark on the ticket 0pc (piece plan), 1pc, 2pc. Such abbreviations indicate the number of seats that a particular passenger is entitled to for his checked baggage.
1pc, 2pc means 1 and 2 pieces of large luggage, respectively. A person who has a 0pc mark on the ticket has the right to take only hand luggage with them free of charge. For everything else, the air carrier will charge him an additional fee.
Excess baggage and oversized baggage
If the baggage does not meet the requirements of the air carrier, the passenger is offered two options for resolving the situation:
Leaving some things at the airport is not the most the best option, so the vast majority of people choose the first one and pay extra to the airlines for an extra piece of baggage. The maximum allowable weight of baggage is 23 - 32 kg, depending on the selected class. If the total weight of the bags of one passenger exceeds 50 kg, they will not be taken on board even for an additional fee.
The question may also arise when carrying oversized baggage. This is considered a suitcase that does not fit into the framework of “free” in its size.
Without paying additional funds, passengers are allowed to carry baggage, the three values of which in total give no more than 160 - 210 cm (the exact figure is established by the rules of a particular airline). It is forbidden to carry in hand luggage, even for an additional fee, bags with dimensions greater than 321 cm in the sum of 3 indicators.
By familiarizing yourself with the rules that dictate the maximum size and weight of bags in advance, the passenger will be able to avoid the need to reorganize their luggage at the check-in counter. The exact dimensions of the suitcase allowed for free transportation in a special compartment are always indicated on the official website of the airline chosen by the passenger.
Additional places
Baggage allowance (Aeroflot made important adjustments to its requirements in 2020) provides for the passenger the opportunity to purchase additional baggage in order to carry more items by plane.
Such a fee was charged at the rate of a certain amount of money per 1 kg in excess of the established norm. The latest changes made by popular air carriers to their requirements include a flat fee for more kg of baggage, regardless of their number.
For example, if the total weight of the luggage is in the range from 22 to 31 kg, a person will have to pay an extra 49 euros (for flights between Russian cities) or twice as much (for flights abroad), and if the bag weighs from 31 to 49 kg, an additional the fee will be 99 - 140 euros (determined by the direction of travel).
Carriers made similar adjustments to the rules for the transportation of oversized cargo. If the baggage of one person in the sum of three indicators is from 158 to 205 cm, the surcharge for it will be about 99 dollars or euros (depending on the country of destination), with total dimensions exceeding 205 cm - 150 euros or dollars.
Airline regulations
In order for the passenger to be able to competently organize his luggage and hand luggage, he should familiarize himself in advance with the requirements of the particular airline of which he is a client. Such rules change periodically, therefore, before the practical use of the data obtained, one should make sure that they are up to date.

Airplane baggage allowance video
What to take with you on the plane and what are the baggage allowances:
Not so long ago, a mysterious inscription 1rs appeared on Aeroflot airline tickets, which immediately caused numerous questions from passengers. It was this carrier that decided to be the first to transform the rules for carrying baggage on an airplane. In this article, we will try to find out what baggage 1rs means in an air ticket and what is the baggage allowance of 1rs.
Prior to the introduced transformations, the passenger's baggage was limited according to two criteria - weight and dimensions. Aeroflot was the first to introduce the third restriction - by the number of seats. So the Piece Concept system, which is abbreviated as pc, began to operate on his flights. It operates in many European countries and gradually began to be introduced by Russian airlines. According to it, the airline determines the number of pieces of baggage that a passenger is allowed to carry for free. This system is also called a piece system, since the measurement of things carried is based on their quantity.
If the ticket indicates 1pc, this means that the passenger can carry one piece of baggage for free, if 2pc, then 2 pieces of baggage, respectively. When 0rs is indicated on the ticket, it means that you are not entitled to a ticket without luggage and carry a suitcase or bag for free.
Dimensions and baggage allowance 1pc
Baggage on many airlines is limited not only by the number of seats, but also by weight and size. Each carrier sets its own requirements and dimensions. Baggage allowance 1rs - what does it mean? Let's start with Aeroflot, about which I wrote about the requirements not so long ago. How much is 1pc luggage from Aeroflot? For the most important carrier of the country for checked baggage, 1pc in economy class is 23 kg., In business class, 2pc will be indicated on the ticket, that is, you can carry 2 suitcases for free. The weight of each is not more than 32 kg. The weight applies to one piece of baggage.
Carry-on baggage allowances are lower. 1pc for hand luggage in economy class includes 10 kg, and in business class - 15 kg. Aeroflot's luggage and hand luggage sizes are also limited. The sum of three measurements for things in the cargo compartment should not exceed 158 cm, and for hand luggage - 115 cm.
At Aeroflot's daughter, Pobeda Airlines, free baggage allowances have significantly decreased with the introduction. Now, which can be carried for free, you can designate 0rs, which means there are no free places, only paid ones. The position of the carrier is as follows: either fly with hand luggage, which is legally required for passengers, or pay extra for luggage. You can take any number of things into the cabin of the aircraft that will fit in the carrier's coliberator. Its dimensions are small 36 x 30 x 27 cm, which means that you are unlikely to fit several bags in it. But for an additional fee, Pobeda offers to carry hand luggage, which is no longer limited by these dimensions, the main thing is that the weight of 1pc does not exceed 10 kg. Since the airline positions itself as a low-cost airline, it saves on everything. Including trying to make money on baggage.
For Ural Airlines, baggage 1pc in the promo category is 1 piece of hand baggage weighing up to 5 kg and 1 piece of checked baggage up to 10 kg. 2 rs assumes only the Business category.
The 1pc utair baggage allowance states that a passenger in economy class can carry 1pc of checked baggage weighing no more than 23kg. and 1pc hand luggage up to 10 kg and measuring 55 x 40 x 20 cm.
At s7 1rs luggage is how much? At the basic economy fare - 0rc of checked baggage and 1rc of hand luggage weighing 10 kg. At the economy fare, a flexible passenger can take 1 pc of checked baggage and 1 pc of hand luggage up to 10 kg. In business class, the carrier provides extended transportation conditions both in terms of the number of seats and weight.
I will show you what the inscription 1rs looks like in the photo. This is part of my electronic ticket to Israel, where I flew with Ural Airlines. Look to the right side for the symbols 23k-1pc. They say that I can carry 1 piece of baggage, the weight of which will not exceed 23 kg. If I have 2 suitcases or, say, a weight of 25 kg, then I will have to pay extra. In the first case, for an extra seat, in the second, for an overweight of 2 kg.
Look for a similar inscription in tickets and other carriers.
Baggage allowance varies by travel class. For economy class, 1rs is usually offered, and its weight is lower than that of a higher class. For business, the carrier often designates 2rs on the ticket, which means 2 pieces of luggage. Moreover, the weight of each is much higher than in the economy class.
Is it possible to increase 1rs
For example, you bought an economy class ticket at Aeroflot, but you understand that your wardrobe cannot fit in one suitcase. Can I buy another seat in the cargo hold? Almost every carrier has the opportunity for cash take extra luggage or hand luggage. Payment is taken not only for an additional seat, but also for exceeding the established weight or allowable dimensions.
In our example, the surcharge will depend on the country of flight. On domestic flights it will be 2500 rubles, on international flights 50-100 dollars or euros. But the third place and subsequent ones will cost many times more. The same rule applies if the weight of the luggage is exceeded. It is often cheaper to buy another piece of luggage than to pay extra for an overweight suitcase.
As a rule, it is cheaper to purchase an extra piece of luggage in advance than at the airport. So, Pobeda Airlines has a difference of up to 50%. Imagine how much you can save by calculating the required volume in advance. The same procedure applies to weight, since one piece of luggage at a low-cost airline can have different weights. You can buy 1pc with a weight of 10 kg, or you can buy with a weight of 20 kg.
As for hand luggage, in addition to the dimensions and weight of 1pc established by the airlines, the passenger has the right to carry additional items from the FAP lists. They are not a piece of hand luggage and are extra. For example, you can also take a handbag or a suit in a suitcase with you.
Are skis or bicycles included in the fixed 1pc on the ticket? It all depends on the carrier. Aeroflot allows passengers instead of a suitcase (or in addition to it, if you have 2rs), to carry sports equipment without payment. But the S7 has skis and a snowboard as an addition to 1rs. Transportation of animals will not be counted as 1pc even if you are flying without luggage. An additional fee is charged for the transportation of a pet, according to the tariffs established by the carrier.
In this article, you learned what 1rs baggage is. Based on the foregoing, when preparing their baggage for a flight, passengers should keep in mind three important components - weight, size and number of pieces of baggage. For exceeding any of these three parameters, airlines charge an additional fee. In connection with the introduction of amendments to the law on the mandatory free baggage allowance, airlines have the opportunity to introduce no-baggage fares and set 0pc for their transportation. At the moment, not all airlines have taken this path. Many still left a free baggage allowance of 1rs for the cheapest tickets. When buying a ticket, I recommend specifying whether luggage is included in its cost and in what amount.

This article discusses acceptable baggage allowance various airlines: Aeroflot, TransAero, S7.
We are all going on vacation with suitcases or bags, and for some, the weight of the luggage can be very decent. There are certain rules that allow you to take luggage of a certain weight with you.
Each airline has its own baggage allowance. Moreover, these norms usually differ depending on the class of service: most of all you can carry in business class, and least of all in economy. The amount of space also applies to baggage allowance and also depends on the class. In some companies, only the weight is limited, in others - only the number of seats, and in others - both the weight and the number of seats.
Traditionally, the baggage allowance for economy class is usually limited 1 seat and weight from 20 kg to 23 kg for each passenger.
It is important to know that the excess is paid for each suitcase, and not for the total weight. Therefore, if a married couple is flying with two suitcases weighing 25 and 10 kg each, and the limit is 20 kg, then you will have to pay for an excess of 5 kg.
When flying to America, the number of pieces of luggage is usually limited and this is displayed with signs 1pc or 2pc. For more information on what 1rs is, see below.
In addition to weight, there is a restriction on the dimensions of luggage. That is, the suitcase should weigh no more than and be no more than. Usually, the rule of three dimensions is used to measure dimensions.
Let's take a closer look at the baggage allowance for different airlines. The table below shows the current weight and seat restrictions for 2015 for the two most popular airlines in Russia.
Baggage allowance Aeroflot
Baggage size limit for Aeroflot per piece: no more than 158 cm in the sum of three dimensions
Transaero baggage allowance
Baggage size limit for Transaero for each seat: no more than 203 cm in the sum of three dimensions
Note that these are free baggage allowances, and you will be allowed on the plane with an overweight. In excess of the specified norm, kilograms are paid separately according to the tariffs provided by the airline.

1pc baggage allowance what is it?
Some airlines use the so-called piece system, when it is allowed to carry a certain number of pieces of baggage. Usually the piece system is used in America. If the specified system is used, then the allowances are indicated as 1pc or 2pc, which means:
1PC (1 Piece Plan) - one piece of luggage
2PC (2 Piece Plan) - two pieces of luggage
Therefore, if your ticket says that the baggage allowance is 1pc, then this means that each passenger is supposed to carry one piece of baggage. Usually the ticket also indicates the baggage allowance in kilograms. But if your ticket does not contain such information, this does not mean that you can carry any weight, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of the company.
Each airline has its own baggage allowance. Most airlines offer as a free baggage allowance one place with a weight not exceeding 23 kg and with dimensions of about 150 cm in the sum of three dimensions. Read more about on a separate page.
