S7 baggage allowance. S7: check-in and baggage rules. Extra space and oversized cargo

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.

Aeroflot hand luggage rules

The rules for carrying hand luggage on Aeroflot planes are the most humane in comparison with other airlines. Most of the restrictions on the transport of dangerous goods that were described in the previous post also apply to Aeroflot.

Weight of hand luggage on an Aeroflot plane

You can take up to 10 kilograms of hand luggage on board the plane (for economy class passengers), and up to 15 kilograms for business class passengers.

Aeroflot hand luggage size

You can carry one piece of hand luggage on board Aeroflot, personal items and a so-called hand luggage accessory (I wrote about this in detail in the article about “Hand Luggage on an Airplane”).

The total size of Aeroflot hand luggage should not exceed 115 cm (the sum of three dimensions is 40 cm, width – 20 cm, length – 55 cm).

Additionally and completely free of charge (for Aeroflot passengers), you can bring the following items into the cabin:

Aeroflot excess baggage rates

If you exceed the permitted weight or size of luggage (even by a kilogram), then Aeroflot will require additional money from you, the amount of which will depend on the flight (within Russia and outside Russia).

If you exceed the permissible weight (from 23 to 32 kg) or overall dimensions (from 158 to 203 cm) when flying within Russia, you will have to pay 50 euros and 100 euros/dollars if flying outside of Russia.

If you exceed the permissible weight (from 32 to 50 kg) or overall dimensions (more than 203 cm) when flying within Russia, you will have to pay 100 euros and 150 euros/dollars if flying outside of Russia.

Siberia Airlines, also known as S7, has rules for carrying hand luggage on planes similar to Aeroflot. S7 passengers are prohibited from transporting the following products of animal origin in the cabin: skins and furs, elephant tusks, etc. S7 passengers are prohibited from transporting dairy and meat products. The exception is baby food and food prescribed to the passenger by a doctor.

S7 passengers are prohibited from transporting (neither in hand luggage nor in checked luggage) devices containing lithium batteries; such cargo must be declared as particularly dangerous cargo.

Carry-on baggage rules s7

Economy class passengers are allocated 1 piece of luggage. Business class passengers are allocated 2 pieces of luggage space and a slightly larger carry-on baggage weight.

On S7 airlines, passengers are allowed (by prior agreement with the airline) to transport pets (cats, dogs, birds) in hand luggage. Transportation of animals is paid at the rate for excess baggage based on the actual weight of the animal/bird along with the container (cage), regardless of the number of other items of the passenger.

To transport pets in the aircraft cabin, a number of rules must be observed:

• required to have a vet. certificate;
• the weight of the animal together with the container (cage) does not exceed 8 kg, and the overall dimensions of the cage in the sum of three dimensions do not exceed 115 cm, while the height of the container (cage) should not exceed 20 cm;
• Guide dogs (accompanying blind passengers) are transported in a muzzle and on a leash, and there must also be a certificate of special training for the dog.

All other animals whose weight and size exceed those indicated above travel exclusively in the luggage compartment of the aircraft.

Hand luggage size s7

The carry-on baggage allowance on S7 Airlines flights is similar to the Aeroflot allowance and the norms of most airlines. The size of hand luggage on board s7 (the sum of three dimensions) should not exceed 115 centimeters (dimensions no more than 55x40x20).

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

The s7 company is the second most popular air carrier in Russia, which is distinguished by a wide variety of services and often receives positive feedback from passengers. The legal name of the airline is Sibir. One of the most popular questions that interests tourists is the rules for carrying baggage s7, and in what cases you will have to pay extra for the service of transporting things.

Baggage is items that are transported separately and cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin, unlike hand luggage. The rules for carrying luggage bags and carry-on luggage are always different, so do not confuse these two concepts.

Standards for baggage transportation at the Sibir company

S7 airlines depends on three parameters:

1. Amount of space taken up - free of charge, 1 person can carry one bag or box.
2. Baggage weight – requirements here depend on the chosen fare. The "economy flexible" ticket contains a free standard for 1 piece of luggage up to 23 kg, the "business basic" fare allows you to carry 1 piece of luggage up to 32 kg, and "business flexible" customers can carry 2 pieces of luggage weighing up to 32 kg without paying. each.
3. Dimensions in three parameters - width, height and length. The free standard for “flexible economy” and business class tickets is no more than 203 cm based on the sum of three parameters.

Participants in the special Priority Siberia program can count on additional baggage space of up to 23-32 kg, depending on the card level. For some routes, the free standard may be increased; details should be obtained by calling the airline at 8 800 700-0707 or +7 495 783-0707.

Also, in addition to the established norm, tourist s7 can carry sports equipment as luggage for free - winter sports accessories, boots, skis, ski poles, helmet. These items are considered in addition to the main baggage. Sports equipment should be packed in a separate case - the free weight for an economy ticket should not exceed 23 kg, and no more than 32 kg for business fares. If the equipment weighs more, you will have to pay for the excess.

When purchasing a ticket from s7 for the “basic economy” class, only hand luggage is free, but baggage transportation is paid according to established standards. Therefore, passengers often do not understand how much luggage costs on an s7 plane if the ticket does not include luggage? Delivery of items in the “basic economy” class will cost 2,500 rubles. You should pay for such baggage when purchasing an air ticket on the official website, or directly at the airport.

When paying for baggage and purchasing a ticket online at the same time, the passenger receives a 28% discount, so he will only need to pay 1,800 rubles. After issuing a ticket, you can pay for the service only at the contact center or at the airport.

It is worth noting that flying with the “basic economy” fare will only be beneficial if you are traveling without luggage. Otherwise, it is better to take a “basic flexible”, where you can choose a seat in the cabin and carry 1 luggage bag for free.

How much does excess baggage cost in other classes? If a passenger requires additional space to transport a bag weighing up to 23 kg and no more than 203 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions, then he will have to pay 2.5 thousand rubles for 1 or 2 seats in excess of the established standard. For transfer transportation - a flight with transfers, the cost increases to 2.5 thousand rubles. For 3 and subsequent seats in excess of the established standard, the passenger will need to pay an additional 7,500 rubles, and for a transfer flight - 15 thousand rubles.

How much will the surcharge be according to the s7 airlines baggage allowance when the bag weighs more than the free allowance, but does not exceed 203 cm according to 3 measurement parameters? More than 23 kg and up to 32 kg - you need to pay an additional 2500 for a direct route and 5 thousand for a flight with transfers. Weight from 32 to 50 kg – payment of 5 thousand for a regular flight and 10 thousand for transfer transportation.

The price of paid S7 baggage when exceeding 203 cm in three dimensions is an additional payment of 2500 for direct transportation and 5 thousand rubles for transfer transportation.

Features of baggage transportation in S7

Company rules prohibit the following items from being transported:

• Explosives and toxic substances;
• Liquefied and compressed gas;
• Flammable items;
• Radioactive substances;
• Cold steel, gas and firearms, with the exception of cases regulated by the law of the Russian Federation;
• Poisonous chemical compounds;
• Oxidizing agents;
• Other items that could create a critical situation on board an aircraft.

Baggage delivery rules s7 allow transportation in limited quantities - collectible weapons and weapons for hunting, household scissors - with a volume of no more than 5 liters and a strength of no more than 70%, or alcohol with a strength of up to 24%, aerosols for household or sporting purposes with protected caps - no more than 2 kg per person, internal combustion engines.

What is not recommended to be carried in checked baggage? In order to protect your belongings, it is better not to take fragile items, jewelry, computers and laptops, mobile devices, banknotes, securities and documents, perishable items, keys, etc. into your luggage.

There is a distinction between oversized and heavy luggage. Oversized luggage is considered to be luggage that exceeds 203 cm in width, height and length. Items that exceed the norm of 32 kilograms are considered heavy. The decision to deliver such items is made by the airline, and the decision depends on the fullness of the cargo compartment and the type of aircraft. Before the flight, you should check the information about your luggage by calling the contact number or sending a request using the feedback form.

If a tourist transports things through the Customs Union, then he should familiarize himself with the transportation rules in advance. Detailed information is available on the Domodedovo customs portal. You can also fill out a customs declaration online on the portal.

Before sending luggage, tourists should carefully pack their bag or suitcase. Each piece of checked baggage must be securely packaged to ensure maximum safety of your items. You cannot combine two separate pieces of luggage into one package. It is not permitted to transport luggage with sharp objects protruding from the packaging or the integrity of the packaging has been compromised.

These are the main points that tourists should remember. Please keep in mind that after checking in your luggage until it is released, it will not be possible to use it, so it is better to take the things you need for the flight into the cabin of the aircraft.

Passengers flying in economy class will be interested in the rules and tariffs for baggage transportation on S7 Airlines aircraft. This is useful in situations where you have to change plans and take an extra suitcase or bag on a flight.

S7 Airlines entered the transportation market with a new tariff plan in 2015. It is very profitable, but not without its drawbacks. For basic economy class you cannot carry free baggage, and without additional payment, a limited list of things is allowed on the plane, the parameters of which are strictly defined. The carrier does not allow changing fare conditions without additional payment.

What can be carried in the cabin

Like other fares included in the S7 economy class, the basic one limits the size, maximum weight of hand luggage on the plane and the number of seats for its free transportation. Maximum The dimensions of hand luggage should not exceed 115 centimeters: height - 55, width - 40, depth - 20. Weight should not be heavier than 10 kg. Only one seat is allowed.

What not to take to the salon

The transportation rules clearly define the list of items prohibited in hand luggage.

• explosive substances or objects containing them, including gases in a liquefied or compressed state;
• liquids and solids with flammable properties;
• acids, peroxides, oxidizing agents;

If a passenger is found to have something from the prohibited list, this may indicate his illegal purposes.

Sometimes the list of what is prohibited to take in hand luggage expands to include injection needles without medical necessity, knitting needles, scissors and pocket knives with a blade larger than 6 centimeters. More accurate information about what can and cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin is posted on the airline’s website.

If the weight and size of hand luggage are higher than established, then things will have to be checked into the cargo compartment.

But you can buy a paid seat, and the luggage should not be heavier than 23 kg and more than 203 cm in three dimensions (height, width, depth). Prices for one place in 2018 can be seen in the table.

Oversized cargo

As in the previous case, the price is set by destination. On flights within Russia it will be from 2 to 3 thousand rubles.

Payment

You can deposit the required amount in cash at the carrier’s office, at the airport or online. If you cancel your order, the money will be returned to the account from which you paid.

The carrier's conditions and customer reviews indicate that the target audience for the Economy Basic fare are passengers traveling without a lot of belongings. If you plan to carry baggage, take a ticket with a different class of service. Then you will do without additional payments, which will save you money.

Carrying things on an airplane is a process that is regulated by various rules. Moreover, each airline has its own rules. Therefore, passengers find out all the details in advance, for example, how hand luggage is transported on the S7 plane. Dimensions and weight must fit into established standards, otherwise excess items will have to be packed in luggage.

Carry-on luggage is considered to be the items that a tourist takes with him into the cabin of an aircraft. Usually these are things that he will need during the flight, and especially important, fragile items are also taken into the cabin for safety.

Requirements for hand luggage on the s7 plane

Of course, the S7 company has certain restrictions on the weight and measurements of hand luggage. Compliance with the rules for carrying hand luggage ensures the comfort and safety of passengers.

Economy class tourists can carry one bag weighing no more than ten kg in the cabin. The dimensions of hand luggage on an S7 aircraft must not exceed 55 cm in length, 40 cm in height and 20 cm in width.

Allowed S7 hand luggage for business class passengers is two bags weighing no more than 15 kg in total. In terms of dimensions, the parameters are the same as in the economy tariff - no more than 55x40x20 is allowed.

There are places for checking hand luggage in the tourist registration area. Bags must be framed according to regulations for sizing and weighing. It is recommended to find out the weight and dimensions in advance to avoid troubles before the flight.

Prohibited and permitted items for carriage in hand luggage in S7

In accordance with the established requirements for hand luggage, you can additionally (in addition to the main bag) take the following things with you:

• Mobile, camera, laptop, tablet, video camera;

• Tourists flying with children can take baby food and a baby stroller for minors under 11 years old into the cabin, and when flying with children under 2 years old, they can carry a cradle or car seat in the cabin. Naturally, all these things are allowed to be taken only when flying with a child;
• People with limited mobility may bring crutches or a collapsible wheelchair into the cabin, as long as they can be comfortably placed on the shelf above or under the seat of the passenger in front.

All listed items, except for children's and wheelchairs, are not subject to weighing when checking in hand luggage and baggage. Thus, a citizen has the right to take into the cabin hand luggage that meets the established dimensions and does not exceed the weight, as well as several or all of the specified items on the list.

Cost of hand luggage in S7

Carriage of luggage in S7 is free for any category of citizens if the items fit the established standards in size and dimensions. However, there is no such thing as overweight for things in the aircraft cabin. Anything that weighs more or exceeds the dimensions will have to be packed in a luggage bag, and the luggage itself can be either free or paid if it does not fit into the standards.

Many passengers are interested in whether it is possible to check out hand luggage with luggage on the official S7 website? Unfortunately, such a service is not provided, since it is impossible to determine remotely whether the transported items comply with the established standards. You can check in baggage and hand luggage only at the airport - you should go to the “baggage reception” counter or any other.

Another popular question is, do pets count as carry-on luggage? Dogs, cats and birds can be transported in the cabin of the ship with S7, but they are not considered hand luggage and are charged at the excess baggage rate.

These are the main points to remember when transporting hand luggage. If you have questions or concerns about the availability of a particular item, it is best to find out by calling the company.

Shared

When choosing the best airline for a flight, the right decision would be not only to familiarize yourself with the pricing policy, but also to collect as much information as possible about the flight conditions it provides.

It is important that since November 2017, mobile phones, cameras, laptops and books have been excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free in addition to hand luggage. However, this does not mean that you will be charged for a cell phone or tablet. They just, together with all other items of hand luggage, must fit within 10 kg of weight.

Restrictions on the size and weight of baggage are related to airline requirements, the size of baggage compartments, as well as standards established by the longshoremen's union. As a rule, porters refuse to lift suitcases weighing more than 32 kg.

The following are strictly not allowed for transportation in hand luggage:

• weapons and ammunition (even toy ones);
• explosive, toxic, radioactive, caustic or poisonous substances;
• sharp and cutting objects (knives, corkscrews, knitting needles, scissors, nail files, blades, etc.);
• laser pointers;
• any liquids in containers with a volume of more than 100 ml;

However, transportation of the above is possible in checked baggage if you have permits.

Transportation of the above is possible in checked baggage, subject to availability of permits

Carrying oversized hand luggage is permitted if the passenger has informed the airline in advance of his intentions and paid for its transportation in accordance with the current tariff. If a passenger wants to take on board more than was agreed upon, then baggage can only be checked in if there is free space and willingness to pay for it. Carrying handles and fastening devices are required.

For the carriage of baggage on a passenger seat, a separate travel document is issued, the cost of which is 100% of the cost of the ticket of the accompanying passenger. However, the weight of such baggage should not exceed the average weight of a passenger (80 kg), and its dimensions should allow it to be placed on separate passenger seats.

Current rules for transporting baggage in economy class

The free baggage allowance is set by S7 Airlines depending on the type of fare and class of service. Passengers traveling on the Economy Flexible fare are allowed to carry 23 kg of personal items in the luggage compartment. If it is necessary to carry more volume or weight in the luggage compartment, an additional payment is provided in accordance with the data in the table.

Since November 2017, a new “Economy Flexible” fare has been introduced, which provides for flights without luggage (only 10 kg of hand luggage). On average, such a ticket will cost 20% less than the Economy Flexible fare.

Baggage is accepted for transportation upon passenger check-in at the airport. The airline representative gives him part of the luggage tag, and the other part is attached directly to the suitcase.

The weight of one piece of baggage should not exceed 50 kilograms, with the exception of wheelchairs and other assistive devices used by passengers with disabilities. The carrier has the right to refuse to accept baggage whose weight and size do not meet international requirements.

If you have a connecting flight and the wait at the transfer point exceeds 24 hours, then your baggage is checked in only to the transfer airport

If you have a connecting flight and the wait at the transfer point exceeds 24 hours, then your baggage is checked in only to the transfer airport. Even in the case of baggage check-in to the final destination, the passenger is obliged to comply with all the requirements of customs legislation at transfer points.

From the moment checked baggage is handed over for transportation until the moment it is issued, passenger access to the baggage is prohibited, except in cases of its identification or additional inspection by the relevant services.

To minimize the likelihood of losing your own belongings, follow these recommendations:

• take a photo of them before departure, this will make it easier to describe the loss in the event of force majeure;
• Mark your suitcase with brightly colored tape;
• control the safety of all parts of luggage tags.

If it is impossible to receive checked baggage at the destination airport, you must contact a baggage tracing employee, provide transportation documents and fill out the prescribed documents.

Transportation of animals

According to the terms of S7 Airlines, transportation of animals as baggage or hand luggage is only allowed for cats, dogs and birds. In this case, the passenger is obliged to inform the airline about the transportation of the animal no later than two days before departure. Transportation of wild animals, insects, and fish is strictly prohibited by company rules.

The cat, dog or bird must be placed in a special container or cage with a locking mechanism. Its size is designed to allow the animal to stand up and turn around. Containers must have a waterproof bottom covered with absorbent material, and the cages must have a thick fabric covering.

Transportation in the aircraft cabin is possible if:

• the weight of the animal with carrying does not exceed 8 kg;
• its height is less than 20 cm, and its size does not exceed 115 cm in the sum of three dimensions;
• one adult passenger carries one container with an animal.
• there is prior agreement with the carrier;
• have permits from countries of arrival or transit;
• During the entire stay on board the animal will be kept inside the carrier.

During the flight, the container with the animal must be placed under the seat in front of you. It is prohibited to place a container with an animal in places that impede emergency exit. No more than two containers with pets or birds are allowed to be transported in the aircraft cabin.

Guide dogs have the right to be transported at the end of the aircraft cabin free of charge and in excess of the established baggage allowance. However, it is necessary to provide the appropriate documents, as well as the presence of a collar, muzzle and leash for tethering at the owner’s feet.

The animal will have to be “checked in as baggage” if:

• its weight or carrying dimensions exceed the parameters specified above;
• one passenger transports more than one container with animals;
• The quota for transporting animals in the cabin has been exceeded.
