Hand luggage in s7 dimensions. Baggage rules on s7 flights. For ski lovers
S7 Airline is a Russian air carrier founded in 1992. Based at Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk). Until 2006, it was called "Siberia", but then a serious rebranding was made. Performs regular and charter flights, both in Russia and abroad.
How much carry-on luggage does the S7 allow and what are the content restrictions?
Dimensions
hand luggage s7 (more precisely, each place) cannot be larger than 55x40x20 centimeters. In this case, this is absolutely not a whim of the airline, but a limitation dictated by the fact that the passenger must put an object (bag, backpack, etc.) on a lockable shelf near the ceiling, or under the seat in front (of their choice). And the space there is not unlimited - after all, for example, up to 180 people can fly simultaneously in an Airbus A320, and there should be enough space for their luggage.
Aircraft company S7
Note! In some places (near emergency exits, in the front row), you can’t put things under the chair. Therefore, they need to be placed (at least during takeoff and landing) only on a special shelf above your head.
How is the size of hand luggage controlled?
As a rule, airline employees do not approach passengers with tape measures at the airport - this is not necessary. Special frames-templates are installed near the racks. If an item (suitcase, backpack, etc.) fits in such a frame, it can be transported free of charge.
The passenger can carry out the corresponding check independently, even before check-in. At the same time, it is not at all a fact that all those flying will have to go through such a procedure. Often the dimensions are evaluated visually, but if they already arouse suspicion (for example, a suitcase or backpack is clearly larger than 55 × 40 × 20), then they may already be asked to put the item in a frame to check compliance.
The weight
One piece of hand luggage carried on an S7 aircraft, according to the rules, cannot weigh more than 10 kg (for economy class fares - Economy Basic and Economy Flexible) or 15 kg (for business class fares - Business Basic and Business Flexible).
Number of seats
In hand luggage - 1 seat for economy class and 2 seats for business class.
S7 carry-on baggage check area
What can be carried in hand luggage in addition to the specified allowance
The rules of S7, agreed with the current legislation, define the following list:
- a handbag, backpack or briefcase, the weight of which does not exceed 5 kg, and the dimensions (according to the sum of three dimensions) - 75 cm;
- outerwear (type is not regulated);
- a bouquet of flowers (its size and weight are not specified);
- suit in a suitcase;
- goods purchased in duty-free shops at the airport of departure (including liquids) packed in a sealed (sealed) bag with a check attached to it. At the same time, the overall dimensions of such a package in the sum of three dimensions cannot exceed 75 cm, and the weight - 3 kg.
- crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, a folding wheelchair and other similar devices used by a passenger with a disability. During the flight, he will need to remove such a thing on a closing luggage rack (under the ceiling), or put it under a seat that is one row ahead;
- medicines or diet food. The quantity is determined by the passenger's need during the flight;
- a baby cradle, car seat and other accessories for a child under two years old, as well as a baby stroller or a child car seat for a child under 11 years old, if the dimensions of such an item do not exceed 55 × 40 × 20 cm and they can be placed on a shelf above the seat, or on floor, under the front seat.
Baby stroller
Note! Baby carriages, seats, cradles and other restraint systems can be taken with you on an airplane free of charge only if the child for whom they are intended is traveling on the same flight. In the case when the stroller is transported without a child, the standard requirements for hand luggage and baggage apply to its carriage.
Transportation of liquids
Liquid in this context is understood not only as a substance in a liquid state. These are equated to objects (including food), the consistency of which is pasty or creamy. These are sauces, creams, pastes, gels, aerosols, canned food and much more. That is why, for example, you can freely carry hard cheese in hand luggage, but if the variety is soft (camembert, brie, ricotta, mozzarella, feta and others), appropriate restrictions are imposed on it. Or you can put olives “on their own” in hand luggage, but if the package contains oil or other liquid in addition to them, then the following rules come into force. The same applies to cosmetics.
So, you can carry liquids in your hand luggage, but following certain requirements.
- The volume of each container cannot be more than 100 ml. That is, if the toothpaste is in a 125-ml tube, the airport security staff will most likely take it away at the control;
Note! Packaging does not have to be original. With an aerosol deodorant or shaving gel, this will not work due to the pressure inside the bottle, but, for example, shampoo can be easily poured into a container of the allowed size (up to 100 ml inclusive).
- The containers must be placed in a transparent bag with a zipper (usually a zip zipper is used). Its volume is also limited - it cannot be more than 1 liter;
- If the passenger does not have such a package, it is damaged (torn) or does not meet the requirements, then the airport employee can issue it free of charge, or offer to purchase it for a small amount.
- This package must be removed from the main piece of hand luggage (bag, backpack, etc.) and placed on the tape at the security control separately for scanning.
Bag for packing liquids in hand luggage
Additional Information! Baby food (if the passenger is traveling with a child) is not subject to the 100 ml limit per container. But there is no need to take water - the stewardess will bring it upon request.
What can not be carried as hand luggage:
- piercing objects. Any, without exception. Even such harmless, at first glance, as nail scissors, or a nail file, will be confiscated. However, plastic disposable knives and forks without pointed ends are allowed;
- toxic objects, as well as poisons;
- explosive and combustible substances;
- corrosive, oxidizing substances;
- weapons (there are separate requirements for their transportation);
- radioactive items;
- other things that the security officer considers dangerous.
The general criterion in this case is clear - you can not take on board something that can injure or kill other passengers or crew members, as well as arrange a terrorist attack on board (make an explosive device, etc.). Hence the very stringent requirements for liquids, which many passengers perceive with hostility. But in today's world, extra precautions are not superfluous.
What can not be carried in hand luggage
Exceeding the size and quantity of hand luggage
Excess carry-on baggage cannot be booked with S7 Airlines - even for extra money. Everything superfluous (that is, that which does not fit into the established norms) must be checked in as luggage. Depending on the tariff, an additional fee may be charged for this - the cost varies accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that a passenger, even when buying a ticket (especially at a basic, baggage-free fare), decide whether it is possible in a particular case to meet the requirements for the weight and size of hand luggage, or whether he should immediately buy additional luggage and be calm. Indeed, according to S7 tariffs, the fee for baggage at the airport is much more than directly in the process of purchasing an air ticket. Therefore, trying to save a relatively small amount can be costly in practice.
On a note! S7 Airlines imposes fairly loyal requirements for passengers' hand luggage. This follows from the fact that even those who bought the ticket at the cheapest fare are allowed to take a bag, backpack, or other object weighing 10 kg into the cabin. Whereas some competitors have already lowered this threshold to the minimum allowed by law of 5 kg.
For this reason, the number of those who choose Economy Basic is increasing. Indeed, with certain tricks, a suitcase or backpack 55 × 40 × 20 is quite enough for a vacation lasting a week or two, or even more. There were no new additions (changes, restrictions, etc.) in 2018, and whether they will be is unknown.
Restrictions on the contents of hand luggage are not imposed by the airline. They are established by international aviation regulatory authorities, these rules are followed at each airport.
One of the major Russian airlines based at the Moscow airport, S7 Siberia serves passengers from all over the world. Flights are operated to domestic and international destinations. Millions of customers get the opportunity to fly with the company's aircraft, established in Novosibirsk. Therefore, long flights are the most popular. And in order to comfortably relax abroad or in the southern resort of Russia, tourists collect voluminous suitcases and bags.
When buying a ticket for an airliner, passengers will certainly wonder how to carry luggage on an S7 aircraft, and how much does it cost? What is it allowable weight? What can I take into the cabin, and what can I check in the luggage compartment? Finally, do you have to pay extra for it? What things are considered prohibited for transportation on an airplane and so on. We will understand the current prices and tariffs for this service this year 2017.
The basic rules of international airlines are the same. But each carrier has its own nuances that you should be aware of in advance. Consider the conditions for transporting things by S7 aircraft in 2017. Hand luggage is part of the luggage that is allowed to be taken into the cabin of the aircraft upon landing. The list of items contains several items in well-defined categories. The size and weight of hand luggage is also of great importance.
Bags and packages carried into the cabin should not be too bulky. Be guided by the permitted dimensions and weight. In economy class, for hand luggage, you will be offered one piece with a maximum weight of 10 kg and a maximum size of 55 x 40 x 20 cm. Business class tourists are entitled to 2 pieces of baggage with a total weight of up to 15 kg and with the same dimensions. It is recommended to take the most necessary things to the salon in the form of:
- mobile devices, tablets;
- keys;
- cash;
- important papers and documents;
- valuable jewelry;
- fragile, breakable products;
- video cameras and photographic devices.
When traveling with small children, you can take a stroller and reconstituted infant formula. The allowable volume of drinks brought into the cabin should not exceed 100 ml. per person. If you are traveling as a family, the liquid must be poured into separate containers.
Passengers who need constant availability of medicines and injections must prepare a health certificate in advance. According to the rules of 2017, the airline allows disabled and sick people with injuries to take crutches and a wheelchair into the cabin if the patient cannot move without them.
In the case when this is not necessary, you will have to pay extra for excess weight and dimensions. The same applies to musicians, who are allowed not to check in their instrument as luggage on the plane, but will require an additional payment for an extra seat if the overall dimensions or weight limits are exceeded.
Despite the high status of an air carrier, Novosibirsk Airlines introduces favorable rates for domestic and charter flights. Therefore, when purchasing a ticket, a passenger can rely on free baggage transportation if certain conditions are met. They consist of the following parameters:
- compliance with the weight of baggage;
- a certain number of seats in accordance with the flight class;
- the sum of three measurements in terms of the dimensions of the box with things is no more than 203 cm.
Hand luggage is also limited in length - 35-40 cm, height 53-55 cm, thickness - 15-20 cm. In total, such a bag should not exceed 110-115 cm. Find out how much baggage transportation costs in S7 airlines, you can on the pages of the site S7.ru. It also contains information on all matters relating to airline travel and related services.
Participants bonus program S7 provides advantageous offers that apply to baggage transportation as well. How much will a discounted flight cost? In 2017, the cost of additional baggage for status clients with Silver, Gold and Platinum cards is included in the ticket price (when issued on the company's website). As a result, the passenger can pack another 23 kg bag.
The safety and comfort of all passengers when flying on board an S7 aircraft is at the forefront of quality service. Therefore, in 2017, according to the rules of air transportation of baggage, it is strictly forbidden to take with you to the cabin:
- weapons, as well as toys made in his likeness;
- piercing and cutting objects, including nail scissors;
- shampoos, balms, various types of creams;
- aerosols, gas cartridges;
- perfume and toilet water.
If the passenger has any disease requiring medical support during the flight, then the relevant certificate should be provided to the airport employee when checking in for the aircraft. Then the person will be allowed to take the necessary medical preparations on board the aircraft.
The volume of liquids per person is particularly limited. If the traveler has chosen a budget flight option, then he may not count on lunch on the plane, since meals in the cabin are not available. Then it is recommended to bring some food with you. Water, juices or other liquids must be packed in separate containers of one liter per passenger. The same rules apply for regular economy class flights.
How much is luggage on the plane
Carriage of things in the luggage compartment of the aircraft provides for a weight limit of 23 kg. In business class, the number of things increased to 32 kilograms. The cost of transportation depends on the class of the ticket.
When purchasing the cheapest tickets of the basic economy class, customers must pay a certain fare for the carriage of luggage weighing up to 23 kg and with a total dimension of less than 203 cm along the perimeter. This year, the following tariffs are offered, offering transportation of luggage on S7 aircraft:
- economy basic - for one baggage segment the payment is 2500 rubles;
- economy flexible - one free piece of baggage weighing no more than 23 kg, up to 203 cm in total;
- business basic - one piece of baggage allows a weight of less than 32 kg and dimensions of up to 203 cm in three dimensions, which is accepted without payment;
- flexible business - two free bags up to 32 kg and a maximum of 203 cm in folded length, width and thickness of the bag.
For larger dimensions, an additional fee will be charged in accordance with the rules established in 2017. Holders of a gold or silver card receive one more free piece of luggage in the compartment with a maximum weight of 23 kg. Platinum card holders have the same privilege, but the allowable luggage weight for them is increased to 32 kg.
In certain areas, favorable standards increase. Detailed information can be found on the airline's website www.s7.ru or by phone.
Prohibited for transportation in the transport compartment of an airliner are various items and substances, for example, radioactive, poisonous, oxidizing and other dangerous substances that can lead to an emergency situation on board. Also, do not pack in a suitcase:
- explosive substances;
- all types of weapons of cold, firearms, gas type;
- flammable items;
- perishable food products.
Passengers need to be careful about the condition of their own travel items. After all, during the passage of control at the airport, an employee can detect prohibited items and confiscate them. In addition, then you will have to pass an additional check. If you delay before the departure of the plane, you run the risk of being late for the flight.
Before the flight, things should be carefully packed in a specially purchased suitcase. To avoid problems with a long search for things on the tape after landing, choose a bag with a bright color or pattern on the outside. It will be clearly visible among other people's luggage. In preparation for the flight, inspect it for extra tags and stickers from past travels. They need to be removed to avoid confusion.
There should be no protruding sharp corners, so as not to damage someone else's luggage. The packaging must be intact, without damage. Do not combine several things into one whole. Such luggage will not be accepted at the airport. Observing simple rules, armed useful information, you will avoid trouble and keep a joyful mood.
Baggage and hand luggage on the plane
On December 1, 2015, S7 Airlines (the legal name of the company is S7 Siberia Airlines) launched new system tariffs.
As a result, the passenger can choose the required fare, guided by the presence or absence of available (required) options. In total, the following tariffs have been put into effect:
- ECONOMY BASIC;
- ECONOMY FLEX;
- BUSINESS BASIC;
- BUSINESS FLEX.
Important! There were not only tariff changes. Now the company provides the opportunity to carry hand luggage up to 10 kg in size (the weight of hand luggage on the plane was previously 7 kg), get 25% more miles for members of the S7 Priority program (the number of miles has been increased by S7 Airlines from 25% to 50% at the minimum fare) , purchase any fare until the flight is fully loaded.
In the Economy Basic tariff plan, the airline included a flight (1 seat) + 1 piece for hand luggage, the weight of which is 10 kg, and the dimensions must correspond to the parameters 55-40-20 cm.
Baggage at this rate is paid and is calculated from the cost of 2500 rubles for one segment: 1 piece of luggage for 23 kg of luggage (the norm for the luggage compartment is 203 cm). For international flights - calculation and payment in euros, for flights with transfers (domestic / international) - calculation also in euros. When buying an air ticket and paying for baggage online, the passenger receives a discount (according to the payment rules), and the cost of 1 piece of baggage will be equal to 1,800 rubles. It is worth paying attention to the fact that according to the rules of the company, the price of baggage transportation in case of a transfer (on the company's domestic flights) is doubled.
If the allowance is exceeded, the baggage allowance is calculated based on the following parameters.
Calculation of surcharge for excess baggage
Dimensions, parameters (the requirements for the parameters of any AK are strict) | Direct flight | Transfer flight |
---|---|---|
from 23 kg to 32 kg of luggage (with dimensions equal to 203 cm) | +2500 rubles | +5000 rubles |
from 32 kg to 50 kg (with dimensions equal to 203 cm); see "Payment for the transfer of "non-standard" baggage" | +5000 rubles | +10000 rubles |
when exceeding the norm of 203 cm | +2500 rubles | +5000 rubles |
1 extra bed | +2500 rubles | +5000 rubles |
2 extra beds | +5000 | +10000 rubles |
Important! If a passenger has to wait between connecting flights for more than 24 hours, then the transportation conditions are as follows: baggage is checked in to the first connecting point.
Free of charge (that is, if there is already a paid seat, in addition) you can carry baby strollers, cradles, car seats for children (as hand luggage or luggage), but only if a child is also registered on the flight. If there is no child, and the stroller is intended, for example, as a gift, then it is paid for like the rest of the luggage. The airline also allows one set of skiing or snowboarding equipment to be carried free of charge if the weight of the carried set does not exceed 32 kg. The conditions for transportation of a larger set are the same as in the case of "non-standard" cargo.
Important! Members of the S7 Priority program with Ruby status are entitled to 1 free piece of baggage (up to 23 kg) even at the Economy Basic fare.
Irregular baggage
Aircraft can also carry non-standard cargo, that is, luggage that does not meet the norm (more than 203 cm and heavier than 32 kg). Before the flight, you need to contact the company in order to clarify whether it is possible to transfer such cargo on the desired flight. If there is a possibility, then, most likely, the company will offer to buy 3 standard pieces of luggage, and the tariff plan will not be taken into account in this case. The maximum allowable weight for transportation is 50 kg. But the question of how much luggage costs on an airplane for the disabled, which naturally exceeds the weight of 50 kg, can be answered unequivocally - wheelchairs and other large-sized assistive devices can be transported at a standard rate or free of charge, if they can be placed in the cabin.
Transportation of animals
A container with an animal is considered excess cargo and must be paid for. Most often, the container is placed in the luggage compartment, taking into account its parameters (the total weight of the standing container must be more than 8 kg, the size must be more than 115 cm). If the container is smaller, it can be carried in the cabin.
Important! It is not possible to register the transportation of an animal online.
Service "Additional norm"
The company operates the service "Additional baggage allowance". In accordance with it, it is possible to carry cargo in an aircraft that exceeds the standard norm by 5-15 kg. You can use this service only once, and in some directions it does not work. When choosing an aircraft and flight, consider this point.
The regulations and standards mentioned above are internal and only apply on flights operated by the company. If we are talking about a code-share or a transfer with the participation of a partner company, then the calculation of the cost of baggage will take place in accordance with IATA standards, taking into account the "dominant" carrier. More detailed information on calculating the cost of baggage on such routes can be provided at the S7 Airlines contact center by phone numbers: 8 800 700-0707.

Video
Baggage and hand luggage of S7 Airlines is transported in accordance with the rules binding on all passengers. What you will take with you on a trip, it is advisable to decide even before purchasing tickets. Paying for baggage during the online booking process is much cheaper than at the airport before boarding the airliner.
Baggage allowance on S7 aircraft
The rules and regulations for carrying luggage on international flights and within Russia are the same and are dictated by the design features of aircraft, as well as flight safety requirements.
How many suitcases you can carry without paying depends on the fare you choose. Hand luggage in all cases is carried free of charge.
Allowed free baggage allowance | |
---|---|
"Economy Basic" | Free - hand luggage only. Checked baggage is paid. Suitcase weighing up to 23 kg and dimensions not exceeding 203 cm on the sum of three sides. |
"Economy Flexible" | You can carry one piece of baggage weighing up to 23 kg and measuring no more than 203 cm by the sum of the sides for free. |
"Business Basic" | Free of charge - one suitcase weighing up to 32 kg and dimensions not exceeding 203 cm by the sum of the sides. |
"Business Flexible" | Free of charge - two suitcases weighing up to 32 kg and dimensions not exceeding 203 cm by the sum of the sides. |
You can often hear from passengers that luggage is summed up. For example, you have two suitcases with a total weight of 23 kg, which can be combined and booked as 1 piece. In the case of S7 Airlines, this approach is not practiced.
One piece is one suitcase or bag.
This is important to consider when planning your trip.
When it comes to luggage for two, it also cannot be combined. If you are traveling in a company, it is better to distribute all the suitcases among themselves in advance in such a way that the allowance for one passenger is observed. Carrying the things of the company / group necessary for the trip should be thought out even before the moment, in order to effectively distribute and check in all luggage during the online booking process.
The allowable baggage allowance for a child is the same as for adults if the minor passenger is seated in a separate seat. years is classified as "Infant", so it can be transported on the lap of one of the parents. In this case, the same hand luggage allowance applies to both. When a separate seat is issued for a child, you can take a separate bag for him.
When produced, the passenger is given a 20% discount. For this procedure, you can use the official website of the carrier or a special mobile application for devices based on Android or iOS.
You can also pay online with a credit card. If you check in at the airport, the cost will increase significantly.
Members of the S7 Priority loyalty program can, which they have accumulated in the process of regular use of the services of the airline and its partners. possible for participants of similar programs of other members Oneworld Alliance Emgrand, Ruby and Sapphire. To participate in S7 Priority, you need to register on the program website or purchase a special Tinkoff bank card.
Excess baggage
Carrying excess baggage that goes beyond the limits of both dimensions and weight is possible only with a certain surcharge. Its size depends not only on the magnitude of the excess, but also on the direction of the route. The approximate price of one excess seat will be as follows:
- domestic flights within Russia - from 2,000 to 15,000 rubles;
- flights to the CIS countries - from 3,000 to 18,000 rubles;
- flights to Europe and Southeast Asia - from 50 to 300 euros.
A more accurate amount of excess baggage can be clarified by calling the toll-free number 8-800-700-07-07.
If the dimensions of one piece of baggage exceed 203 cm by the sum of measurements, it is considered oversized, and if it weighs more than 32 kg, it is considered heavy. In this case, the airline decides whether or not to check in baggage on an individual basis, focusing on the characteristics of the aircraft used. At European airports, the maximum allowed baggage weight is 32 kg. In case of excess, it is necessary to order freight transportation at the appropriate rates.
Carriage of hand luggage
Each passenger is allowed to take with him to the aircraft cabin only free of charge. It can be placed on a special shelf above the passenger seats.

At the airport, no one will measure the size of hand luggage with a tape measure. Special template frames are provided near the check-in counters for the flight. If the dimensions of the bag meet the standards, you can take it with you to the cabin of the aircraft free of charge. Otherwise, you need to check in your luggage and pay for an extra seat.
It is no coincidence that the size of a hand luggage bag has strict restrictions. S7 aircraft can accommodate 60-180 passengers at the same time, depending on the aircraft model. For all things in the cabin should be enough space. Bags can be placed either on the luggage rack or on the floor under the front seat. However, passengers sitting near emergency exits are strictly prohibited from placing bags and other things on the floor.

Rules for the transport of animals
On S7 Airlines aircraft, dogs, cats and pet birds are allowed to be carried as hand luggage or additional baggage. Other animals may only be transported in the cargo hold. In this case, you cannot add oversized baggage in the form of living creatures.
If the animal is transported in the cabin, its weight cannot exceed 8 kg including the container. The dimensions of the cage must be within the allowance for hand luggage in order to place it under the seat.
It is forbidden to let the animal out of the container during the flight. The pet must also not cause inconvenience to other passengers (unpleasant smells, loud noise, etc.). Free transportation is not provided, so payment is made at the rates of additional excess baggage.
Only passengers over 18 years of age can transport animals by contacting the company's sales offices. The request for transportation must be made no later than 48 hours before the flight. Before flying, the pet should be placed in a rigid plastic container or a metal cage with air access. The internal dimensions of the cage should allow the animal to stand up to its full height and turn around. The container must be fitted with a rigid closure and absorbent material at the bottom. Cages with birds must be covered with a dense light-tight cloth.
No more than two animals weighing up to 14 kg can be in one cage, if they behave calmly. It is also allowed to transport three pets of one offspring not older than six months or fed puppies and kittens in the container. It is recommended not to place a strong and a weak animal in the same cage.
The airline reserves the right to refuse transportation of animals in order to limit their number, depending on the type of aircraft, flight route and commercial load of the cargo hold. In the passenger cabin, it is allowed to transport no more than two cages with pets and birds of non-antagonistic species, therefore, cats and dogs cannot fly on the same flight. Before the flight, the pet must pass control at the veterinary service of the airport. Before you take your pet on a trip, carefully read the rules for transporting animals on S7 aircraft.
Transfer baggage
In the absence of the possibility direct flight you have to get to your destination with a transfer. If it is necessary to change aircraft abroad, the passenger is allowed to issue transfer baggage and a ticket. In this case, at the transfer airport, the suitcases will be transported to another aircraft without additional inspection and clearance. The passenger may be waiting in the closed transfer area for 24-96 hours, depending on the country in which he is.
According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 172 of March 3, 2012 “On the Simplified Procedure for Performing Customs Operations”, transfer baggage is processed only if it does not contain goods subject to mandatory customs declaration when exported outside the Customs Union. A special tag is attached to suitcases and bags, indicating that there are no goods subject to declaration when exported from Russia.
If there are goods that need to be declared, baggage transportation is issued only to the transfer airport. The passenger must personally collect their suitcases and re-register them for another flight.
Delay or loss of baggage can occur on any airline, regardless of its category and level of service. The most common reasons are a mistake by the departure airport staff or the loss of a tag from a bag. The passenger, as a rule, discovers the loss only after arrival, when it is not possible to find the suitcase on the conveyor belt. When faced with a difficult situation, it is important to act correctly.
Missing Statement
To find luggage, first of all, you should contact the airport employee who is responsible for tracing lost suitcases and passenger bags. He will draw up a PIR with a description of the lost luggage (size, color, special features, brand, etc.) and start searching for it. One copy of the document is issued to the passenger.
Tracking process
The search for luggage by an airport employee is carried out using the World Tracer global system. It covers almost all passenger airports in the world. If a lost suitcase flew off in a different direction by mistake, it can be found and delivered to the point where its owner is located. In case of loss of the tag, the search is carried out according to the external description, which the passenger indicated in the PIR act.
While waiting, you can periodically check the status of searches in World Tracer by indicating the PIR act number and your last name in Latin. However, the ability to track baggage in this way is not available at all airports. In this case, you should request information from the airport employees responsible for the search, or contact the representatives of S7 Airlines.
Baggage damage
If the suitcase was damaged during transportation, as in the previous case, a PIR report is required, indicating all defects. The carrier will not accept passenger claims if they are related to dents or scratches in suitcases, as well as to the loss of handles and wheels.
Compensation Claim
Compensation for lost luggage by S7 will only be paid after a formal investigation in each specific case and an appropriate decision has been made.
To initiate an investigation, it is necessary to send a written claim in free form to the head office of the company. The document can be entered in person or sent by registered letter to the address 633104 Novosibirsk region, Ob, Mozzherina Ave., 10, PJSC Siberia Airlines.
The claim must contain detailed information about the baggage. The following must be attached to the document:
- luggage tag;
- PIR act;
- boarding pass for the flight;
- itinerary receipt (preferably);
- other documents (receipts, checks, certificates, etc.) that serve as a justification for the stated claims;
- bank account details for transferring the amount of compensation.
Documents must be in the original or in the form of a certified copy. In the claim letter, be sure to indicate your contact phone number and return postal address in order to receive an official response.
Passenger customs declaration
Passengers of international flights must fill out a customs passenger declaration if they are transporting in accompanied / unaccompanied baggage across the border of the Customs Union:
- goods with a value of more than 10,000 euros or a weight of more than 50 kg;

Some Important Points
When booking tickets via the Internet, the passenger can only include the cost of carrying an extra seat. Check-in of hand luggage and baggage, including additional payment for overweight, is carried out only at the airport at the "Baggage Reception" desk.
If a passenger has a child under 11 years old, it is possible to transfer a baby stroller, cradle or car restraint seat free of charge, if the dimensions of the device do not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm. When the folded stroller does not meet these dimensions, it is placed in the cargo compartment before departure . In the absence of a child, the stroller is transported under the terms of baggage allowance.
Firearms and ammunition may only be transported in special metal containers in the cargo hold of an aircraft. To do this, the passenger must submit to the airport security service documents confirming the right to keep and carry firearms, as well as permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to export or import them.
findings
Baggage requirements of S7 Airlines as of 2019 are dictated by the current international and Russian regulations, as well as the technical features of the aircraft used. All rules should be read in advance. Otherwise, at the airport you will have to pay a significant amount for oversized or extra pounds. In the absence of permits, the flight may fail altogether.
