Aeroflot hand luggage, dimensions and weight 2018

Aeroflot has again updated the restrictions on hand luggage, making them more loyal. Now on the carrier's website it is reported that the dimensions of one piece of hand luggage for all classes of service should not exceed: 55 cm in length, 40 cm in width, 25 cm in height. The maximum weight of hand luggage is 10 and 15 kg, depending on the class of service.

On February 12, the carrier issued a press release stating that from February 15, Aeroflot would strictly monitor passengers' compliance with the carry-on baggage allowance. At the same time, it was reported that the airline has reduced the allowable size of a bag that can be accepted as hand luggage to measurements of 55 x 40 x 20 cm (length, width, height).

This framework did not include many suitcases purchased by passengers specifically for hand luggage. In fact, the airline applied the norms of foreign low-cost carriers, offering passengers to pay extra for excess baggage.

Rossiya Airlines, baggage and carry-on baggage allowances 2018

The 2018 baggage allowance and carry-on baggage allowance for passengers of the Rossiya company (part of the Aeroflot group) is published on the carrier's official website https://www.rossiya-airlines.com/flight-with-us/on-board/your_baggage/

Hand luggage allowance for Russian airlines

S7 Airlines allows carrying in the cabin 1 piece of hand luggage measuring 115 cm (55 x 40 x 20 cm) and weighing 10-15 kg, depending on the class of service.

At Ural Airlines, the dimensions of one piece of hand luggage for all classes of service and fares are no more than 55 x 40 x 20 cm. The weight of hand luggage and the number of pieces depends on the class of service (1-2 pieces from 5 to 15 kg).

UTair allows you to take things weighing up to 10 kg and the sum of three dimensions up to 115 cm (55 × 40 × 20) in hand luggage, you can carry one piece. In the tariff plans of air tickets "Comfort" and "Business" two pieces of hand luggage are allowed.

The hand luggage allowance of the Pobeda low-cost airline is limited to dimensions of 36 x 30 x 27 cm.

Hand luggage on the plane dimensions and weight. Hyou can take it with you on the plane

5 kg is the minimum weight of hand luggage that a passenger can take with him on an airplane free of charge. Until 2018, the weight of hand luggage was not prescribed at all in any laws and regulations, everything was given to the airlines. On the other hand, not a single Russian carrier has a norm of less than 5 kg (even Pobeda, literally ten days ago, entered 5 kg into its rules). More - as much as you want. Aeroflot, for example, has 10 kg. The order does not prevent airlines from leaving more generous rates. And, of course, 5 kg must comply with aviation safety standards (that is, liquids - in containers up to 100 ml).

Mobile phones, cameras, laptops and other gadgets, as well as umbrellas and books, were excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free ABOVE the hand luggage allowance. The argument of the Ministry of Transport: they can be put away in a handbag, briefcase or backpack. With a mobile phone - no problem, you can put it in your pocket, and it's light, it won't create an advantage. But a professional camera or a laptop, taken together, may well. You can't check in your equipment.

New baggage rules, Pobeda

On the flights of Pobeda Airlines LLC, the following restrictions on hand luggage are applied:

overall dimensions no more than 36 x 30 x 27 centimeters,

Hand luggage must be measured before entering the passenger screening area. Hand baggage allowance applies to each Passenger separately and does not apply to children under 2 years old who are transported free of charge.

The list of things that you can take to the salon does not include any liquid (regardless of water or nail polish), the package volume of which exceeds 100 ml.

It is forbidden to take into the salon:

  1. Weapon-like toys.
  2. Magnets and magnetized objects.

All of these items are considered as one overall piece of baggage, regardless of their size.

And now, after we have considered the allowed weight of baggage on an Aeroflot plane - what is the cost of a kg in excess of the norm? Things related to luggage are needed if:

  1. Packing exceeds allowable sizes.
  2. Weight more than allowed.
  3. Quantity bags exceed

The Company applies the following rates for paying for excess baggage at Aeroflot:

Number of bags more allowable amount for one 2500 rubles50 euro
Number of bags more allowable amount for two or more 2500 rubles for the first

Exceeding a separate dimension is also paid separately.

Cargoes that have a weight and dimensions greatly exceeding additionally are allowed for transportation only after prior agreement with Aeroflot. Therefore, it is advisable to repack your luggage and make one additional bag with allowed parameters and pay only for it.

The air carrier may not take oversized baggage if there is no free space for it

Compliance with the rules of any airline is the key to flight safety. In addition, passenger awareness will help to avoid unnecessary red tape during registration and verification of things that need to be taken with them, as well as accurately plan the approximate costs of baggage transportation.

Aeroflot is one of the most popular Russian companies. Thousands of passengers fly by its planes every day. To make your trip go smoothly, I recommend that you check the baggage rules with the airline in advance. I have collected all the norms and dimensions of Aeroflot in one article.

When setting their own baggage rules, airlines are guided by the general ones, which establish a minimum amount of transported volume. Most recently, airlines have been allowed to introduce no-baggage fares and carry 5 kg hand luggage for free. For the transportation of things from above - you can legally charge an additional fee. Aeroflot decided not to follow the path of higher fares and left its fares and baggage allowance at the same level. This distinguishes it favorably from the Pobeda airline, which maximally limited the conditions for the transportation of things. I already told you which ones.

The basic baggage rules for Aeroflot airlines are as follows:

  1. All baggage (including hand luggage that the passenger takes into the cabin of the aircraft) must be presented at check-in for the flight;
  2. It must be marked with special tags;
  3. On all flights of the airline, a piece baggage system is installed. In simple words, this means that one piece of luggage = 1 suitcase (bag). Even if its weight is less than the allowable one, you will not be allowed to carry the second one for free;
  4. The number of pieces of baggage depends on the class of service and the type of fare used;
  5. To find out how many pieces of baggage your ticket includes, look at the numbers on it - 1rs, 2rs, 3rs. The figure also renders the number of bags or suitcases that you can carry for free;
  6. If the total weight of the passenger's luggage, including hand luggage, is less than 10 kg, the number of pieces is not limited;
  7. It often happens that Aeroflot operates codeshare flights with partners. In this situation, different en-route baggage allowances determined by the dominant carrier may apply.
  8. On codeshare flights operated by Aurora and Rossiya airlines, the same rules apply as on Aeroflot flights. The exception is Aurora flights: SU3630-3639, SU4526-4545, SU4591-4629, for which the baggage allowance is one piece for all fare groups.

Aeroflot baggage allowance and dimensions

All baggage that a passenger takes with him on Aeroflot aircraft is divided into:

  • Checked baggage (the baggage that is checked in at check-in)
  • Hand luggage (taken in the cabin)

On airline flights, regardless of class, the following dimensions apply:

  1. for checked baggage, the dimensions must be no more than 158 cm in the sum of three dimensions;
  2. for hand luggage, the dimensions must be no more than 115 cm in the sum of three dimensions.

The free baggage allowance varies depending on the class of service and the selected fare. The minimum weight of baggage on an airplane per person in Aeroflot in 2017 in economy class (excluding premium fares) is:

  • checked baggage 1 piece up to 23 kg;
  • hand luggage 1 piece up to 10 kg.

Business class allowed

  • checked baggage for two pieces of 32 kg each;
  • hand luggage 1 piece no more than 15 kg.

For children from 2 to 12 years old, Aeroflot aircraft have the same baggage allowance as for adult passengers.

For infants under 2 years of age (who have not purchased a ticket for a separate seat), the free baggage allowance is 1 piece weighing no more than 10 kg with the sum of three dimensions no more than 115 cm. This procedure applies regardless of the class of service.

Special baggage allowance

In some cases, Aeroflot may establish special baggage allowances. For example, the airline has increased the number of seats allowed on certain routes or introduced privileges for members of the Aeroflot Bonus loyalty program.

What is allowed and prohibited to be carried on an airplane in luggage

In checked baggage you are allowed to carry:

  • crossbows, spearguns, checkers, sabers, cleavers, scimitars, broadswords, swords, swords, bayonets, daggers, knives with ejected blades, with locking locks, imitators of any type of weapon;
  • household knives (scissors) with a blade (blade) length over 60 mm;
  • alcoholic beverages containing more than 24%, but not more than 70% alcohol by volume in containers with a capacity of not more than 5 liters, in containers intended for retail trade - not more than 5 liters per passenger;
  • liquids and alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of not more than 24% by volume;
  • aerosols intended for use in sports or domestic purposes, the outlet valves of which are protected by caps from spontaneous release of contents in containers with a capacity of not more than 0.5 kg or 500 ml - not more than 2 kg or 2 liters per passenger;
  • medical thermometer containing mercury, in a standard case - one per passenger.

Prohibited for transportation in baggage are, first of all, hazardous substances that can harm other passengers or the aircraft. For example, explosive or flammable agents. The greatest restrictions apply to the transport of things in hand luggage. You can clearly see what is allowed and prohibited to be carried on an Aeroflot plane in the diagram below.

Surcharge for overweight baggage

If your baggage exceeds the allowed weight or the number of pieces established in accordance with the selected fare, you will have to pay extra. So the payment for an additional piece of baggage on domestic flights will be 2500 rubles, and on international flights the price depends on the country (from 2975 rubles to 6900 rubles). It should be noted that every third and subsequent bags (suitcases) will cost many times more. Aeroflot also takes an extra charge for exceeding the size by the sum of three dimensions. To avoid unnecessary payments, plan your baggage in advance, both in terms of weight and dimensions. The excess baggage allowance is an additional cost. The price of the excess baggage allowance depends on whether you are flying on a domestic or international flight. For more details on the cost of the surcharge, see the table.

If the free baggage allowance is exceeded in several categories (for example, the number of pieces and dimensions), the sum of the relevant baggage rates is applied for excess payment.

If the sum of the passenger's baggage items and their weight do not exceed the parameters specified in the ticket, then no additional payment will be required for the transportation of ski equipment.

Rules for transporting weapons on Aeroflot aircraft

A weapon (one item or a special container for transportation with several weapons belonging to one passenger) and one piece of baggage with ammunition for it are considered one piece of baggage. If the baggage allowance established by the tickets is not exceeded, then you will not need to pay extra for transportation. However, if the allowable weight is exceeded, then payment will be required. The gross weight of the ammunition may not exceed 5 kilograms. It is forbidden to transport weapons and ammunition in one container. Cartridges for gas weapons are also prohibited from being transported. Transportation of weapons is carried out in a discharged state.

When transporting weapons through the territory of the Russian Federation, a passenger needs a permit for the right to store and carry weapons. When importing or exporting abroad or transporting through the territory of Russia, the passenger must have a permit for the import or export of weapons issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When flying with a transfer, the weapon must be re-registered.

Weapon simulators are not allowed to be transported in the aircraft cabin. They must be checked in as baggage.

For the carriage of firearms, it is necessary to coordinate it with the carrier no more than 36 hours before the flight departure time. To check in for a flight, a passenger transporting weapons must arrive 1.5 hours before departure.

Favorable prices for Aeroflot airline tickets

You can check the prices for tickets to any cities and countries in the form below

Among other things, they also differ from the class and fare you choose. As for the baggage allowance on Aeroflot Economy class aircraft, they are quite standard and transparent. True, there are several nuances that should be considered.

Baggage size on an Aeroflot Economy class plane and Aeroflot Economy class baggage allowance are important components of any flight. After all, if you violate the rules, you will have to pay separately certain amounts that you simply have to have at hand in the event of such an unpleasant situation.

If you choose Premium rate for Economy, then you are allowed 2 pieces of 23 kg each. All others mean only 1 place for both categories.

What can you take with you to the salon?

In addition to the 10 kg suitcase itself, the passenger has the right to take a woman's bag, a cane, an umbrella, a bouquet of flowers, a folder for papers, books or magazines. From multimedia items you can take laptop, camcorder, camera or mobile phone.

Hand luggage is also checked and weighed, as well as luggage.

From clothes you can take outerwear, suit or dress in a bag.

When moving with a small child, then calmly take more baby food and cradle.

Also, when buying Duty Free goods, they can be carried in the cabin, but with a sales receipt and in an unopened bag.

Baggage allowance for passengers with children

When flying with a small child up to 2 years, regardless of the chosen class or fare, no extra seat, baggage allowed weighing 10 kg and only for 1 seat.

Tariffs for overweight and oversize

If you take not one suitcase to Economy, but two, then you will have to pay for the second of them - 50 euros or dollars(for America, Canada and Asia. The exception is Tashkent, Bishkek, Dushanbe, Khujand, cities of Africa and Ukraine).

Weigh your suitcase beforehand to know if you fit within the baggage allowance.

If the allowable weight is exceeded, then the following rules apply:

  • from 23 to 32 kg - 50 euros - for flights within the Russian Federation and 100 euros - for other destinations;
  • from 32 to 50 kg — 100 euros for domestic flights and 150 for international flights.

Please note that in Europe a suitcase weighing more than 32 kg may be refused at all, as trade unions forbid taking luggage of such weight.

If the problem lies in the dimensions, then such luggage is already considered oversized. Wherein, with dimensions greater than 158 cm, but less than 203, then you will have to pay 100 euros or dollars. When it exceeds and 203 cm, then you will have an amount of 150 euros / dollars for payment.

in winter Aeroflot allows you to take with the main suitcase also ski equipment set but in a case. The rest of the time, it is considered to be in excess of paid separately.

There are times when a passenger exceeds baggage or carry-on baggage in all of the above parameters. In this case he pays for every category.

For example, a suitcase is larger than 158 cm, but does not exceed 203 cm, and at the same time weighs up to 32 kg. You pay 100 euros and plus 50 euros if you travel in Russia, and another 100 abroad.

Fly with Aeroflot planes - have you heard this slogan from the distant past? The giant carrier has been carrying Russian travelers around the world for many years. How to fly Aeroflot planes with luggage - we tell!

Baggage allowance on an Aeroflot plane

Aeroflot is the only company in Russia that applies a piece measure when transporting baggage. This means that the number is limited things suitcases per passenger.

If you are flying economy, only 1 suitcase can be checked in at no extra charge. Moreover, the weight of the bag should not exceed 23 kilograms, but the dimensions are not fundamental. The main thing is that it fits the requirements of standard luggage - 158 centimeters on all sides in total.

Not all items included? Do not be upset, luggage is what is rented at check-in. There is also hand luggage, about it - a little lower.

From Premium and Comfort ticket holders, as many as 2 suitcases of 23 kg each will go to the luggage compartment. But in Business you can take more things: two large places weighing 32 kilograms. There is where to roam)

How many kilograms can I carry with Aeroflot?

Carry 23 kilograms in a suitcase that will fly in the luggage compartment, and you can take another 10 kilograms into the cabin. So an economy class ticket for an Aeroflot plane includes 33 free kilograms.

Be careful, since February 2018, additional control of the amount of things has been introduced at check-in and when boarding the plane, employees will check the size, weight and number of bags. Everything will be screened: hand luggage, things in the cabin, suitcases checked in as luggage. If the norm is exceeded, they will calculate how much to pay for the excess. And if they refuse, they threaten to refuse transportation.

Aeroflot measures luggage not in kilograms, but in pieces - pack your things in one suitcase. And for hand luggage there are size restrictions (more on them below). But if all your things together weigh less than 10 kilograms, the number of bags will not be counted.

Hand luggage on an Aeroflot plane

Take one small suitcase measuring 55x40x25 centimeters to the salon. Make sure that only allowed items are inside and that the dimensions are respected. If the dimensions are exceeded, the bag will be sent to the luggage compartment, and you will be charged a surcharge.

During February 2018, Aeroflot twice changed the requirements for the size of hand luggage on the plane: the original 55x40x20 centimeters have now been replaced by dimensions of 55x40x25 centimeters - this is a cabin size suitcase.

Plus, you can carry a backpack or bag for free (<5 кг и сумме размеров <80 см), портплед с костюмом, товары Duty Free в запечатанном пакете, лекарства и детское питание на время полета, приспособления для пассажира с ограниченными возможностями, детскую коляску, детскую люльку и букет цветов.

Aeroflot: what can and cannot be carried in baggage and taken in hand luggage

Do not take any poisons, weapons, toxic or dangerous substances on the plane. If you fly on a safari with a crossbow or shoot fish in the Red Sea, the weapon will fly in your luggage, and a permit will be required for it. An imitation of a weapon - yes, we are talking about a toy gun - will also have to be checked in as luggage.

Files, scissors, knitting needles and any kind of knives are not allowed in the cabin - hand over piercing and cutting objects in your luggage or you will have to leave them for inspection. Strong alcohol is not allowed on the plane, and no more than 5 liters per passenger will be accepted into the luggage compartment. This does not apply to sealed drinks from Duty Free. Aerosol deodorant, hairspray and other sprays - pack in a suitcase, they will not let you into the salon. And it’s better to replace it with dry and liquid analogues or buy it already on the spot.

Take a thermometer, a blood pressure monitor, 2 kilograms of dry ice, a disposable lighter and 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide in hand luggage - of course, if any of this is needed.

Hand over everything liquid and jelly-like at registration, you won’t be able to feast on grandmother’s jam in flight. If you take it into the cockpit, pack liquids in small bottles up to 100 milliliters in volume and no more than one liter per person.
Segway, gyro scooter and electric scooter will have to be left at home or take out the battery from there and check the vehicle in luggage. A battery of less than 160 watt-hours will be allowed to be loaded on the plane, and in hand luggage. And more powerful ones will be issued only as a dangerous cargo.

What does 1PC baggage mean on an Aeroflot ticket?

Did you meet the 1PC marking on the ticket reservation? - This is a measure of baggage in the quantitative system of transportation. Literally, 1PC means 1 piece, that is, one piece. Shows the number of suitcases you can carry on the plane.

A quantitative measure (piece concept) is used by airlines in Canada, the USA, Central and South America. Of the companies popular with Russians, Lufthansa and Aeroflot should be mentioned.

Free baggage is indicated on the receipt, when booking a ticket, look for it in the form of an inscription 1PC / 2PC / 3PC. 1PC - one piece of baggage, 2PC - two pieces of baggage, 3PC - 3 pieces.

You will find the same marking on tickets for international flights. Often there is a designation 23KG nearby - the maximum weight of a piece of luggage.

There are exceptions to any rule: on flights to Washington, Delhi, New York, Beijing, Tel Aviv, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, take one more bag. If you are a lucky member of the bonus program, check the conditions - your luggage will be increased.

How to buy extra baggage at Aeroflot

If the number of seats, weight or dimensions of things is more than specified in the ticket, issue an excess. You will have to pay 2500 rubles for the second suitcase, the same amount will be written out if the weight of the bag is more than the prescribed 23 kg, but less than the maximum 32. But a heavy suitcase from 32 to 50 kg will cost you 5 thousand extra.

Dimensions will also be checked: for the sum of measurements 158-203 cm, 5,000 rubles are paid,oversized >203 centimeters is already more expensive - 7500.

It is not possible to buy additional baggage over the Internet, everything is processed at the check-in desk. Our advice: call Aeroflot and, having reported the booking code, specify how much and how to pay extra for excess baggage.

Oversized baggage on an Aeroflot plane

If the weight of your suitcase is from 32 to 50 kilograms, and the sum of all measurements is more than 203 centimeters, then the luggage is considered non-standard. Notify the airline 36 hours before departure that you are carrying non-standard baggage.
