In 2018, the baggage rules and the size of hand luggage on Aeroflot aircraft have changed slightly. To avoid being caught off guard, this new instruction manual is well worth studying.
Aeroflot in 2018: new baggage transportation rules
Carry-on baggage is measured by airport employees according to different criteria separately for each person who wants to get on board. Now the dimensions allowed for personal use on board the bags have been increased by 5 cm (55x40x25 cm). It is strictly forbidden to take photo or video equipment, portable PCs or even an umbrella into the aircraft cabin, but no one prohibits transporting small musical equipment.
Since February 15, 2018, Aeroflot has begun to carefully check the size of hand luggage carried on the plane. If the bag does not comply with the permitted standards of the measuring calibrator, it is forbidden to take it.
yandex_ad_1 According to the current rules, the check is carried out at check-in, during the document check and at the entrance / exit, however, the rules may differ at different airports.
Airport workers explain their decision by the fact that users of their company's services complain that their belongings simply do not have enough space in the aircraft cabin. Until February 15, passengers were unhappy with the fact that some suitcases and photo bags, which fit into the airline's regulations, could not be placed in the measuring frame.
These items will now need to be placed in the baggage compartment. Due to pressure from consumers of the airline's services on the Aeroflot administration, the dimensions of hand luggage are now 55x40x25 cm (+ 5 cm).
The standards of transportation and size of hand luggage, approved in February this year, met both supporters and opponents among passengers. On the one hand, users of Aeroflot's services are happy with the topic that now there is no need to tamp their small hand luggage among other people's disproportionate bags. On the other hand, some passengers were unhappy with the new procedure for transporting personal belongings on the plane.
Since 02/26/2018, the size of carry-on luggage has been increased to 55x40x25 cm, i.e. by 5 cm.Many medium-sized suitcases now fit into these dimensions.
According to the current instructions, photo / video equipment, netbooks, paper literature and some other items are excluded from the list of those things that can be transported during the flight with you.
However, items that can be included in carry-on baggage include the following:
any bag not heavier than 5 kg;
one unopened food bag purchased in duty-free;
small bouquet;
cereals, mixtures and yoghurts for small children, the amount that is sufficient for the child during the flight;
jackets, fur coats, sweatshirts and any other outerwear;
a stroller or cot for a child, which is not heavier than 7 kg;
medicines that are necessary to maintain the normal functioning of the health and life of the passenger during the flight, in this case they will ask for a corresponding health certificate;
any devices for passengers with special needs and disabilities (crutches, walking sticks, etc.).
yandex_ad_2 Musicians will be pleased with the following news: now their instruments are considered hand luggage if they do not exceed the standard dimensions. By the way, this does not apply to guitars, because they can be transported even if they do not fit into these dimensions. However, the transportation of musical equipment must be coordinated with the dispatcher 2 days before departure.
Below we will consider the list and dimensions of carry-on baggage that can be carried on the plane in 2018. We will find out what new rules have been established by Aeroflot.
What is considered carry-on baggage according to Aeroflot's 2018 standards
According to Aeroflot's internal regulations, passengers are allowed to have the following items with them in the aircraft cabin:
any suitcase or briefcase (up to 5 kg and up to 80 cm in size);
a closed bag with duty-free food, a sealed suit, a jacket, a mobile stroller for children or disabled people, a bouquet of flowers and medicines to maintain the normal functioning of the health and life of passengers, in which case it is necessary to present a health certificate.
Employees check the belongings of passengers using a measuring calibrator, in which you need to determine the carry-on baggage. If handles, wheels or something else peep out of this measuring frame, then this bag will be asked to be transported in the luggage compartment.
include_poll1409
Verification is carried out at check-in, during the identification of passengers and before boarding the flight.
Carriage of a bag weighing no more than 5 kg is not paid. You can put unlimited amounts of baby food in this bag (of course, if you have the child himself), food, including alcohol, from duty-free, portoplets with clothes or bed linen, a baby or wheelchair, medicines (there must be a typewritten document , confirming the need for these drugs for the passenger).
Conditions for the carriage of amateur photo / video equipment, netbooks and other devices as carry-on baggage
In October 2017, the administration of Aeroflot was forced to reduce the list of items that passengers have the right to carry with them on board the aircraft free of charge, in addition to hand luggage. This decision was made in accordance with the regulations in the amendments to the FAP.
Now, photo and video equipment, netbooks and all other devices, with the exception of those that fit in your pocket, fall under these amendments. All other gadgets must be packed or carried as luggage.
Liquids are allowed, but there are certain rules. Containers with mixtures should not exceed 100 ml. In addition, this vessel will need to be placed in a sealed bag or a 20x20 cm package. One passenger - one such package, the only exception is baby food, which can be in unlimited volumes (a prerequisite is the presence of a child). Even in spite of such scrupulous conditions, the package will still be checked during a formal inspection at the reception.
This rule also includes jam, sun cream, personal care products, cosmetics, food, etc. The above should be contained in a container of no more than 100 ml.
Will you be allowed to take food on board?
When it comes to solid food, for example, sandwiches, vegetables, fruits, bakery or confectionery, then it is allowed to bring them on board, but with liquid food the issue is different. It is subject to the rule on the transport of liquids, that is, liquid food products must be transported in containers of no more than 100 ml. For example, soups, yoghurts, milk, etc. Containers with them will need to be sealed in transparent bags, which will be carefully inspected before boarding the flight.
Nevertheless, this rule does not apply to meals for the smallest passengers; it can be carried so much that the child will have enough for the entire flight.
The amount of carry-on luggage allowed for children under two years of age Young passengers in 2018 who fly in the arms of their parents are not allowed to carry carry-on luggage on an Aeroflot plane. For children from 2 to 12 years old, who occupy a separate seat on board, there are standard norms and sizes, as for adult passengers.
Also, personal transport (gyro scooters, segway, etc.) cannot be taken in hand luggage. They will be required to be checked in baggage.
At the end of last year, President Putin signed a law amending the General Rules for the Carriage of Passengers, Baggage and Cargo by Air and Requirements for Serving Passengers, Shippers, and Consignees. In accordance with this legislative act, Russian air carriers have introduced uniform rules for the carriage of baggage on board with the only exception - a subsidiary of Aeroflot. 2018 Regulations for Carriage of Baggage and Hand Luggage on Aircraft: Examining the Amendments to the Law.
Airplane baggage rules 2018
In accordance with the new baggage allowance adopted in November, a bag or suitcase weighing up to 30 kg is allowed for 1 piece. Less is possible, but more is not possible. Each passenger must check in their individual baggage.
The allowed weight of items will depend on your ticket category: economy, business or 1st class. The higher the class, the more possibilities there will be in terms of luggage volume.
For a child under 2 years old, there is the possibility of a separate baggage check-in. The weight of the bag should be no more than 10 kg.
There is no generally accepted world standard for all air carriers. It is necessary to take into account the rules of the country where you are going. For example, when flying to Dubai, items, as well as religious literary publications other than Islam, are prohibited for transportation. It is also worth taking into account the limitations of each carrier separately.
Excess baggage
Excess baggage is one that weighs more than what is allowed for the category of your ticket.
For example, if you bought an economy class ticket, you can use it to carry baggage weighing up to 23 kg. If you exceed the allowable weight of your baggage, you will be required to pay extra, however, some airlines allow a slight excess weight without additional armor.
If you immediately know that your baggage will be excess, then check with the carrier how much you will have to pay extra.
Baggage over 30 kg - heavy baggage
According to the new rules for the carriage of baggage on board, the weight over 30 kg is equated to the heavyweight category. Before that, the maximum weight was up to 32 kg.
For such goods, you will need to pay extra for each extra kilogram. There are no uniform tariffs, each individual carrier determines the cost of the dormitory independently.
In addition to excess weight, there may also be an excess of dimensions in the sum of 3 dimensions for the following things:
· Alpine skiing, other large sports equipment;
· Musical instruments - guitar, double bass, etc .;
· Household appliances - refrigerator.
For the transportation of such goods, it is necessary to agree with the carrier in advance. Contact customer support before your flight. Arrive at the airport well in advance on the day of departure, as it takes more time to check in your special cargo.
A number of airlines allow you to carry ski equipment in winter or diving boards in summer at no extra charge.
The carrier has every right to refuse to transport you oversized cargo if the cargo compartments are small or there is little space left.
Bagless ticket
Some carriers offer baggage-free travel. In accordance with it, the passenger can only fly with hand luggage. This service has its pros and cons. The advantage is the low price of the flight. Minus - non-refundable tickets.
Combined baggage
For couples, colleagues and friends, there is a luggage pooling service. In this case, it is possible to put all things in 1 suitcase, and it will be counted as 1 piece of luggage.
The weight requirements are the same - no more than 30 kg. It is forbidden to combine baggage if it exceeds the weight allowance.
Fragile luggage
Carrying glassware, electronics and decor with them on board, many passengers are worried about the safety of their belongings, as often at airports, suitcases are treated carelessly, throwing them into a common pile.
In such situations, you have the option of registering your baggage marked “fragile”. Why do you need to provide information at the registration of things, and then your suitcase will not be launched on a common tape - it will be taken to the luggage compartment.
Fragile baggage handling does not ensure the safety of your belongings.
It is recommended to take fragile items that correspond to the parameters of hand luggage with you to the cabin. The only condition is that things should not contain liquid. Jars of jams and pickles will have to be discarded and returned to the luggage compartment.
Carry-on baggage: 2018 standards
How much baggage is allowed by air carriers? Amendments to the law on air travel, introduced in November 2017, limit the minimum weight of carry-on baggage. Before that, it was allowed to carry at least 10 kg for non-refundable / returnable tickets for free, now - from 5 kg.
Most airlines were allowed to carry a suitcase weighing 10 kg on board. For transportation in the luggage compartment, you had to pay separately.
The new law stipulates that the carrier is obliged to take on board from 5 kg, but there is a possibility of increasing the weight. For example, such companies as S7, UTair and Aeroflot said that they intend to leave 10 kg as the norm.
The following rules are currently valid on the Aeroflot website:
Restrictions on parameters are valid for hand luggage - height up to 55 cm, width up to 40 cm, thickness up to 20 cm. checking if the baggage meets the requirements.
In addition, certain changes have been made to the list of free items for carrying on board in excess of carry-on baggage.
What things are allowed to be taken into the cabin without checking in as carry-on luggage
According to the old rules, it was allowed to take the following things into the salon free of charge without weighing, marking with tags and decorating:
· costume;
· notebook;
· video camera;
· Camera;
· mobile phone;
· Baby food for the duration of the flight in an unlimited flight;
· Baby carrier (folding cradle / folding stroller);
· Books, magazines, newspapers;
· Outerwear;
· ladies handbag;
· Portfolio;
· Folder with papers / documents;
· Cane;
Crutches;
· bouquet of flowers.
Now the umbrella, laptop and phone have been excluded from here. The Ministry of Transport explained these changes as an opportunity to put these items in a bag.
In addition, a backpack was added to the list of things allowed for free transportation. The airline "Pobeda" confirmed the information that they will be allowed to carry backpacks if their size will fit into the norms in force in this company.
For Pobeda, carry-on baggage restrictions are as follows - 36 × 30 × 27, and the minimum ticket price starts from 500 rubles.
Things that are allowed in carry-on baggage and with you
You can optionally keep some items with you or in your carry-on baggage:

Loss Action
No one is insured against the loss of things during the flight. Items disappear during loading / unloading into the hold, they are randomly sent on the wrong flight.
In case of missing items, follow these instructions:
· Make sure you have a luggage receipt on hand;
· Apply with the sheet to the department of search for missing items;
· Complete the application.
Within 3 weeks, the carrier is obliged to find things and return to you. The package is sent to your home free of charge, you do not have to go anywhere and pay for something.
If you return damaged baggage or its absence after 3 weeks, you can contact the carrier for compensation.
If the carrier refused to compensate for the damage caused, then you have the right to demand a reasoned written refusal and go to court with it.
The Montreal Convention enshrines an international agreement, which provides the maximum possible compensation for the loss of a bag - 1131 SDR (artificial reserve and means of payment issued by the International Monetary Fund). This is equivalent to approximately $ 1,500.
In fact, the total amount of compensation will depend on a particular company. Foreign carriers compensate on average $ 20 / kg. The largest overseas companies can pay a larger amount in accordance with their internal regulations. Russian carriers pay approximately $ 600 each.
If you have lost your baggage on an international flight, then you must apply for a search no later than a week after the date of receipt of the items.
On domestic flights, a claim can be made within 6 months from the date of loss.
In order to receive normal compensation, a description of the lost baggage is required. If you have lost property checks, you can attach them to your application. In this case, you will be able to claim full or partial compensation for damage.
When traveling across countries, a tourist needs to take various things with him, distributing them in bags and suitcases.
Something he puts in the luggage compartment, some part he will need in the cabin of the plane.
Therefore, many people are interested in what constitutes hand luggage on an aircraft, its dimensions and weight.
What is considered carry-on baggage on an aircraft? Hand luggage is called luggage that you can take with you on board.
There are additional passenger seats in the luggage compartment. For passengers of different classes, the airlines have established some restrictions on the transportation of baggage.
Carry-on baggage allowance:
- economy class and tourist class - 1 additional seat;
- business class and first class - 2 seats.
Additional space is provided to the passenger for more than one bag, the main thing is that the weight of several bags and their dimensions do not exceed the specified parameters. In this case, the passenger will pay for extra weight or extra seat.
In order to avoid conflict situations, it is better to familiarize yourself with the rules for the carriage of hand luggage before purchasing tickets on the airline's website.
What can be taken in hand luggage on the plane according to the new rules? Under the new rules, it is allowed to take outerwear, umbrellas, a briefcase for documents, a folder for papers, a small handbag, books, mobile gadgets, as well as baby food, which can be transported in powder form, into the aircraft cabin.
Previously, these things were not equated with carry-on luggage. They were allowed to be transported separately from luggage in the cabin.
So, what you can carry for free in the cabin of the aircraft:
It was decided not to exclude outerwear from the list, since it is difficult to fly in our northern country without fur coats and jackets.
In hand luggage, you can put documents and books, gadgets with removable batteries, food for snacks and candy, limited liquids, medicines for the child and baby food. The main thing is that the mass of this does not exceed the established 5 kg.
Such a baggage control system was introduced due to complaints from passengers about the lack of space in the aircraft cabin. This has a negative impact on the level of flight comfort, safety and punctuality of the flight.
What cannot be taken in hand luggage on the plane according to the new rules? It is forbidden to carry active weapons and toys that resemble them in the cabin.
Bans are also placed on the transport of razor blades and razors, except for disposable razor accessories and safety power razors.

There are no universal luggage parameters, the norms depend on the air carrier, flight distance and class of service.
The strictest restrictions on the transportation of luggage in the cabin are set on low-cost flights.
The luggage in the cabin must be located in a special compartment, above the seat. If the bag does not fit there, then it can be placed under the chair.
If the weight of the baggage exceeds the established norms, the owner of the bag pays for an additional seat. If he refuses to do this, then things are checked into the luggage compartment.
Note! In some cases, it will be much cheaper to pay for an extra seat than to check in your carry-on baggage.
It is worth carefully reviewing low-cost airlines' fares and promo fares before purchasing tickets. Find out the pre-allowed weight and size of luggage so that later you do not have to pay for excess weight or even get rid of unnecessary things before departure.
How much should carry-on baggage weigh? The minimum requirements include carry-on baggage weighing up to 5 kg, which the passenger can take with him free of charge on the plane of any Russian airline.
The law does not prohibit leaving more generous norms, for example, luggage weighing 10 kg is allowed with the carrier Aeroflot and S7.
How many kilograms of luggage is allowed? Aeroflot Airlines has set a standard for one passenger. In Comfort and Economy class, one seat weighing no more than 10 kg is allowed, in Business class - up to 15 kg.
The weight of the luggage should not exceed 10 kg, and the maximum permissible size of the bag should be no more than 55 × 20 × 40 cm.
Even if a child is flying on the plane, he can also carry a bag of the specified size. All products must be packed in one sealed plastic bag, no more than 115 cm in volume.
Aeroflot met the minimum required by law, having reduced the list of free things on board by three times, excluding even mobile phones. In the fall of 2017, the Ministry of Transport made changes to the Air Carriage Rules.
Keep in mind that only a minimum of things are spelled out in the rules, that is, air carriers do not have the right to reduce this list, but to improve it as much as necessary, there would be a desire.
Cameras and laptops disappeared from the free list, and backpacks weighing up to 5 kg and duty free purchases appeared in it.
Gadgets and electronic devices such as hair dryers or irons are accepted for carriage if they are packed in hand luggage and their weight, dimensions and quantity meet the rules of the air carrier.
In case of exceeding the norms, these items are transported according to the generally accepted rules for the carriage of excess free baggage in the compartment of the aircraft in special protective cases.
Despite the restrictions, the airline has not limited the weight and dimensions of the briefcase and handbag, which can even hold a camera if you choose the right style.
The same size of hand luggage on the plane can be found in UTair.... Even more generous sizes of a stroller and a backpack are allowed here, as well as the size of the duty free package is not limited.
S7 has the same permissible baggage weight and dimensions as Aeroflot, but the weight of a sealed duty free bag must not exceed 3 kg and a volume of 75 cm.
The company "Russia" has similar dimensions of the suitcase (55 × 40 × 20 cm)... In the economy class cabin, passengers can carry bags weighing up to 5 kg, in first and business class - up to 10 kg.
KLM Airlines does not limit the weight of hand luggage; you can take bags with hand luggage dimensions 56 × 35 × 23 cm into the cabin.
The only domestic low-cost airline "Pobeda", which does not limit the weight and amount of hand luggage at all. That is, you can take whatever you want, but only in a bag no larger than 36x30x27 cm.
Ural Airlines is one of the most demanding air carriers. The weight of luggage per passenger should not exceed 5 kg, but in addition to them it is allowed to take a video camera, a camera and a laptop.
In the cabin, foreign airlines have a wide range of tolerances for bag dimensions and weight.... Weight can vary from 5 to 18 kg, depending on the air carrier, and sometimes carry-on baggage allowances are even higher, even in Economy Class.
At the airport, travelers love to shop for products in the duty free area. Airlines allow these items to be carried as carry-on baggage.
Various states have established restrictions on the transport of these products, therefore, the rules for transporting goods to the countries of arrival / departure should be observed.
So, on the territory of the Russian Federation it is allowed to transport no more than 2 liters of alcohol and 2 blocks of cigarettes from the Duty Free zone.
But if a person travels by connecting flights, he also goes through the control procedure, and the goods purchased in the duty-free zone are equated to personal belongings. Therefore, the ban on the transport of a certain amount of cigarettes or alcohol can be lifted.
All products should be packed in special transparent bags, and receipts should be kept for all purchased goods.
If the traveler travels around Europe, then the transportation of products from the Duty Free zone is allowed in unlimited quantities, but not exceeding the established norms for weight.
You can take wine and other alcoholic drinks, perfumes, shampoo, gels with you. The main thing is that all goods are packed in transparent bags, which are prohibited to open during the flight.
Important! If the state of the country of departure has not established restrictions on the export of products from the duty-free zone, then they may operate in the country where you arrived.
Therefore, it is better to familiarize yourself with customs regulations in advance to avoid a fine.
Video: Carry-on baggage rules. What to take in carry-on luggage
The popularity of aircrafts, as one of the safest modes of transport, is ensured by strictly adhering to the standards for the carriage of passengers with baggage, which indicate what specific weight of baggage and carry-on baggage is allowed for transportation in a particular type of aircraft.
Failure to comply with standard norms can overload the aircraft and have a negative impact on the safety of the flight.
All baggage on board is classified as follows:
- Carry-on luggage, those things (bag, briefcase, etc.) that the passenger can safely take with him to the cabin of the aircraft. Each air carrier may establish and officially approve its own rules regarding the size and total weight of this baggage. On average, this figure is 2 pcs. carry-on baggage, each weighing a maximum of 8-10 kg.
- Checked baggage This category includes things that are scheduled for transportation in the cargo hold of the liner (weighing up to 20-23 kg) and are checked in at the check-in counter.
How much baggage can you carry on the plane?
Today, almost all air carriers use 2 main systems, according to which the final calculation of the norm for carrying bags and suitcases is carried out:
- Weighing system;
- Number of seats system.
The weighing system is the most popular and demanded on existing flights to the CIS countries and Asia.
Often, the following baggage allowances are established and are in force, services for which are provided free of charge:
- Economy class - max 20 kg per 1 passenger;
- Business class - max 30 kg per person;
- For a child under 2 years old - max 10 kg.
The fundamental element of this system is to set limits on the weight of bags and suitcases, rather than the physical places on which it is located. For example, people who have bought an economy class ticket can take several suitcases or bags, the total weight of which does not exceed 20 kg.
In some areas, slightly larger rates may be set, the data on which should be displayed in the itinerary receipt. If data of this kind are not included in the document or related questions arise, then it is better to clarify the controversial and incomprehensible points on the official resource of the air carrier.
The system of the number of seats is the modern baggage allowance, which is based on the method of calculating the number of seats. It is most in demand on existing and popular flights in America and in all directions of Aeroflot (the system was introduced not so long ago).
According to the norms of the system, each passenger is provided with the opportunity of free transportation:
- Economy class - 1 place \u003d max 23 kg;
- Business class - 2 seats \u003d max 32 kg (each).
Attention! The total weight of two suitcases is not summed up, therefore, if the weight of one of them exceeds the norm, and the mass of the second is several times less than the norm, then it will be necessary to pay for the excess of the first one according to the current carrier tariffs.
Interesting! Regular customers who are active participants in existing airline loyalty programs can be rewarded in the form of bonuses, the equivalent of which is additional seats (1-2) or a couple of kilograms (10-20).
Dimensions and dimensions of baggage on the plane
The size of baggage and its dimensions are directly dependent on the active system of standards, which is guided by the air carrier:
- In the seating system, the sum of the width, length and height of a suitcase is a maximum of 1.58 m.
- In the weighing system, this indicator should not exceed 2.03 m.
The allowed weight of baggage on the aircraft of the leading Russian airlines is approximate.
The main parameters and dimensions should be guided by and should not be exceeded.:
The restrictions on the weight of baggage on S7, Uteyr and other airlines may change from time to time, so you should follow the updates on the website.
You can find out how much baggage is allowed on the plane from the air carrier the services that the potential passenger is going to use, depending on whether he is traveling alone or in a company with children, whose age must also be taken into account.
Baggage and carry-on baggage on the plane
Carry-on baggage on airliners is subject to tight controls to improve flight safety.
Most often, each airline prohibits the following items from carry-on baggage:
- Scissors and knives (even nail scissors are often seized);
- Knitting needles;
- Corkscrews (regardless of size and material of manufacture);
- Needles from syringes for injection (can only be allowed in certain cases).
In addition to the above things, there are restrictions on the carriage of liquids in baggage, which include:
- Personal hygiene products: shower gel, shampoo;
- Perfumery: perfumes, sprays;
- Cosmetics, both decorative and skin care: creams, mascaras.
These products can be transported in hermetically sealed containers, the volume of which does not exceed 100 ml. More precise requirements are put forward by each airline independently.
An exception to the current rules can be only liquid medicines and food for children, which are vital during the flight.
Duty Free products and liquids of all kinds are also not subject to general rules and restrictions.
Important! All products in carry-on baggage must be packed in individual zippered polyethylene bags.
Regardless of hand luggage, it is allowed to take such things on board the aircraft:
- Baby stroller-cane, cradle, baby food, diapers;
- Laptop, netbook, tablet, smartphone, camera;
- Outerwear, coat, raincoat or plaid;
- A package with goods purchased in Duty Free (alcohol, shampoo, sweets, etc.);
- Handbag, briefcase, folder for papers;
- Umbrella, walking stick;
- Magazines or other printed publications intended for viewing and reading during the entire flight.
The transportation of the above items is not subject to mandatory documentary registration, weighing and marking, because they belong to the category of hand luggage.
Alcoholic beverages allowance on board an airliner
Many tourists are often worried about the question of how much alcohol they can safely transport in their luggage on the plane, and whether it is necessary to check it in and whether it can be left with them in the cabin.
Important! According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the carriage of alcohol is allowed only to adult citizens. It should be borne in mind that in other states this indicator may differ significantly from that established in Russia.
Up to 5 liters of alcohol is allowed on the territory of the Russian Federation:
- Up to 3 liters of alcoholic beverages - no taxation;
- 3-5 liters - the tariff for each liter is 10 euros.
These norms are valid only for individuals and apply to all bottles of alcohol that are imported into the Russian Federation, regardless of where the bottles are actually located (cargo compartment, backpack in carry-on luggage or packages with goods from Duty Free).
All alcohol must be packaged in factory bottles without fail and be marked with a standard appropriate labeling. Accordingly, homemade alcohol, liqueurs, vodka and wine cannot be transported in the luggage of the aircraft.
The customs rules of each country differ (sometimes quite significantly) and clearly regulate what can be transported, so before the trip it is worth clarifying whether transporting a bottle of good wine or vodka would violate the rules of the receiving state.
On domestic flights, there are no such strict restrictions, some air carriers allow you to pack alcohol in your baggage, but remember that such goods are fragile. Before the flight, it is worth agreeing on all the conditions and rules regarding the carriage of alcoholic beverages.
It is possible to carry 1 liter of alcohol in the aircraft cabin, divided into a transparent factory container, the volume of which does not exceed 100 ml.
What can not be taken in baggage and carry-on baggage
All conscientious air carriers use uniform rules, in which under a categorical prohibition is the transportation of baggage in any of the aircraft compartments, which includes:
- Substances with a caustic and corrosive effect (acids, alkalis, mercury, etc.).
- Gases of all types.
- Highly flammable substances and liquids (paints, solvents, lighters, etc.).
- Substances that are oxidized (bleaching agents, etc.).
- Explosive objects of all kinds (pistols, fireworks, etc.).
- Radioactive substances.
- Substances of an infectious, toxic and poisonous nature.
- Small vehicles that run on lithium batteries.
- Items with built-in signaling devices (suitcases, etc.).
- Magnetized substances.
- Other substances that pose a potential threat to both passengers and aircraft crew.
A complete list of things that are prohibited and that are not recommended to be taken in luggage and carried on board the aircraft is available for viewing on the official resource of each airline and is constantly updated.
Discovered prohibited items are confiscated, and the decision on the possibility of a flight remains with the airport staff (the outcome of the situation depends on the type and amount of prohibited substances).
Permitted weight and excess baggage at Aeroflot in 2019
Aeroflot Airlines is guided by the carriage norms in force on the basis of the system of the number of seats. Each passenger is given the opportunity to transport a suitcase or bag in 1 piece, while the weight of checked baggage should not exceed 23 kg.
Subject to the validity of the "Premium" tariff for the purchase of tickets to the basic economy class, then 1 passenger is given 2 seats, the mass of things, which should not be more than 23 kg. The same rule applies to comfort class ticket holders. In business class, this figure should not go beyond 32 kg.

Each ticket indicates "1pc", where the figure indicates that it is possible (allowed) to carry a certain number of suitcases (1-3), taking into account the things carried in the cabin.
For some air carriers, a weight excess of 1-2 kg is not considered a significant excess of the norm, but for others, an excess of 1 kg can cost a passenger several tens of euros.
What can be taken in luggage on the plane
All things that do not belong to the list of items prohibited for transportation and do not exceed the current standards, both in size and in terms of dimensions and weight, can be admitted on board the aircraft as baggage.

Important! A wheelchair as a means of transportation can be carried both in the aircraft cabin and in the cargo hold. For detailed information, it is best to contact the airport staff in advance in order to correctly draw up all the documents.

How much to pay for baggage
