MOSCOW, February 22 – RIA Novosti, Svetlana Baeva. A laptop, a camera - only in permitted hand luggage or checked luggage - Aeroflot's strict rules for transporting personal belongings have once again caused active controversy among passengers.
The national carrier once again clarified the transportation rules hand luggage on board aircraft.
The first is the dimensions: no more than 55 centimeters in length, 40 in width, 20 in height. Secondly, the maximum weight for economy class is 10 kilograms, for business - 15 kilograms.
The parameters should include both professional equipment, for example, video and photo cameras, and children’s umbrellas, which previously could be carried in excess of the norm. Read about what you can take with you into the cabin of the plane from RIA Novosti.
Above normal
“In addition to the established norm and without additional payment, you can carry in the cabin: a backpack weighing no more than 5 kg and measuring no more than 80 cm in the sum of three dimensions or a handbag,” Aeroflot reports. You can also take with you a bouquet of flowers, outerwear, and a suit in a suitcase for free.
Baby food and devices for carrying a child (weighing no more than 7 kg and dimensions no more than 42x50x20 cm) are not subject to the restriction. As well as medications and equipment necessary for passengers with disabilities (crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, folding wheelchairs). You can also take a bag with goods from Duty Free, but only one.
In case of transportation of a musical instrument as hand luggage, transportation of other hand luggage (in addition to items carried in excess of the established allowance without charging an additional fee) is not permitted.
Aeroflot published information about these rules on its pages on social networks. Facebook , In contact with, and on the official website.
“Knowing the airline’s rules will make your trip even more comfortable,” writes Aeroflot.
Go through the cordon
The Travel.ru portal clarified that the list of things “in excess of the established norm and without additional payment” has been reduced by three times. Cell phones, laptops, cameras, video cameras, umbrellas, folders for papers and printed publications for reading in flight disappeared from it. All this should fit either in 10-15 kg and the proposed dimensions, or in an excess backpack and handbag.
The portal even writes about the control cordons installed by Aeroflot in the customs control zone at Sheremetyevo: “The employees at these cordons require passengers whose hand luggage even slightly exceeds 55x40x20 centimeters to return and check it in as luggage.” By the way, if the baggage allowance has already been exhausted, then such check-in will be paid - 2500 rubles in Russia, 50 US dollars for nearby international routes and 100 dollars for long-distance ones.
The carrier clarified that “it does not introduce additional restrictions and does not change the carry-on baggage standards, but only strengthens control over their compliance and brings the company’s standards into compliance with the federal aviation regulations, which have been amended.”
“A camera, telephone and other electronic devices,” the Aeroflot press service reports, “are accepted for transportation if they are packed in hand luggage, the quantity, dimensions and weight of which comply with the airline’s rules.”
If the established standards are exceeded, they are transported according to the general rules for the carriage of registered free and excess baggage in the luggage compartment of the aircraft in special protective cases.
Logic and bureaucracy
In the comments to message Passengers remember how it was: “They just didn’t check hand luggage before at check-in. Now, apparently, they will monitor this,” says Dmitry Gladyshev.
“The problem is not the dimensions, everything is fine here. The question is that according to the new rules, a laptop, a tablet, and a camera are INCLUDED in 10 kilograms. Previously, they were above,” writes Anastasia Bakhmutova.
The new rules have already become an unpleasant surprise for many passengers. “Thank you” to Aeroflot for the innovations,” says Anton Gladyshev. “It’s clear that people who carry everything on board are sick and tired, but, for example, our company had a problem with transporting television equipment. Our camera with a bag does not fit through dimensions".
Aeroflot offered the only option - to check it in as luggage. But there, according to the passenger, no one will be held responsible for her. “No exceptions were offered. Even if there are six of us, and we all have three bags as personal luggage, two of which meet the standards,” he continues.
“As a result, we take up less space than the average passenger, but even this does not help. Logic and bureaucracy are incompatible!” is Anton’s conclusion.
The only thing they could offer him was a Fragile ribbon (fragile luggage). However, according to the stories of passengers, it is not a panacea: “The Samsonite suitcase on which you can sit arrived cracked,” the discussion continues.
A common question from passengers is that hand luggage fits according to the sum of three dimensions, but does not fit in dimensions - is this allowed?
“My carry-on baggage was two millimeters too small for the dimensions, and they forced me to check it in. It’s unclear who will win a seat with these two millimeters,” Veronika Andreeva is surprised.
Strictly according to regulations
People who booked tickets on the airline’s website on February 21 and 22 claim that there are no stated restrictions on equipment in excess of the norm: “I need to check the box that I have read and agree with all the rules and conditions. At the same time, I open the Rules air transport passengers and luggage (the link leads to the file, and there in the paragraph
- a question that interests passengers of many airlines. People do not always understand what belongs to this category of luggage, what items can be taken into the cabin, and what is better to leave at home or check in with regular cargo.
What is the essence?
First, let's look at what is considered hand luggage on an airplane. This is a special type of baggage that is allowed to be taken into the cabin of an airliner. It has its own rules and regulations for transportation, depending on the rules of the airline. For example, economy class passengers receive one seat, and business class and 1st class passengers receive twice as many.
It is believed that the equivalent of one place is a bag or backpack containing personal belongings. This is wrong. The main criterion is the weight of hand luggage and its dimensions. It is these parameters that the carrier is based on. Such baggage is subject to a number of restrictions, which may vary.
General prohibitions
Before checking in for a flight, it is important to be clear about what you cannot take on the plane. Generally speaking, the category of prohibited cargo includes weapons, liquefied gases, as well as dangerous substances (radioactive, toxic, caustic). The category of prohibited items also includes explosives, liquefied gases, sharp objects, including household appliances such as wire cutters, a corkscrew, scissors, a folding knife and others.
Below we will consider in detail what you can take in hand luggage on a plane, and what items are prohibited in relation to food, cosmetics, medicines, digital equipment and other cargo.
Food
First, let's look at what you are allowed to carry. from food. As a rule, airlines restrict passengers in this matter by prohibiting the carriage of jelly-like and liquid foods. But you can take with you:
- Nuts.
- Fruits.
- Sandwiches.
- Cookie.
- Chips and other products.
If you are flying with a child, you are allowed to take baby food. If jellies, juices or yoghurts are found before departure, they will most likely be prohibited from being carried. This also applies to food that is packaged in cans. Those products that are allowed to be brought on board are recommended to be packed in transparent bags, which speeds up the inspection procedure.
Before departure, pay attention to the carrier's requirements, as they may vary. Pay special attention to goods from DutyFree stores. They are allowed to be taken on the plane, but only if they are packaged in a bag and have a receipt in hand.
Cosmetical tools
Women often ask what they can take with them. from cosmetics. As a rule, carriers allow you to bring into the cabin:
- Blush.
- Eyeliner.
- Shadows.
- Powder and other means.
As for jelly-like compositions, as well as liquids that are packaged in containers larger than 0.1 liters, it is prohibited to take them with you. The only option is to transfer your items to checked luggage. In addition, it is not permitted to bring pressurized cans into the cabin. In this case, the total volume of liquids carried should not exceed 1000 ml. This nuance should be taken into account before departure.
Medical supplies
An equally important issue is medications. The following medications are allowed as hand luggage:
- Pills.
- Hydrogen peroxide.
- Materials for dressing.
- Various drops.
All products should be sealed and carried with instructions for use. Otherwise, customs officers may have questions for the passenger, up to and including the need to conduct a detailed inspection. If there is an injury, hand luggage can be supplemented with special means for movement, for example, crutches. Regarding the upper limit of liquids, the same rules apply here as mentioned above.
Digital equipment
According to airline rules, you can take digital equipment on board the plane - a laptop, player, tablet, camera, charger and even a hairdryer. But there is a limitation regarding mobile phone. It can be brought into the cabin, but must be turned off. This is due to safety concerns, as radiation from mobile devices can interfere with the operation of aircraft electronics.
If you plan to carry large equipment with you that exceeds the permissible dimensions, it is better to check it in as regular luggage.
What to do with documents and jewelry?
According to airline rules, you are allowed to take valuables, jewelry, wallets and important documents with you in hand luggage. You also need to take your passport with you so as not to accidentally end up in a foreign country without documents. There are situations when luggage does not fit on one plane and then it can be sent on the next flight.
Clothing and personal care items
When it comes to personal hygiene items, you can bring a toothbrush and toothpaste, a comb (without a handle), wet wipes and even nail polish remover on board the plane. At the same time, it is prohibited to take cutting or piercing things into the salon. This rule also applies to nail scissors.
From clothes you can take with you a coat, a jacket (sweater), an umbrella, a blanket and a shawl. Generally speaking, it is allowed to take almost all clothing if it does not contradict the airline’s rules and does not exceed the permissible standards (dimensions, weight).
What are the weight and size restrictions?
Separate question - How much hand luggage can you take on a plane?. Here, each airline has its own rules, which depend on the destination, ticket price, flight class and other factors. There are only two main criteria, namely size and weight:
- Dimensions. They should not exceed 56 cm in length, 46 cm in height, and 25 cm in width.
- Weight. Requirements vary here and different airlines may have limits ranging between 3 and 15 kg.
Results
Despite some similarity in the requirements of air carriers regarding hand luggage, some rules are strictly individual. For example, low-cost airlines that provide budget flights are stricter about hand luggage and allow you to take a minimum of things into the cabin. There is a maximum of one seat per person. More established companies will have fewer restrictions. In any case, it is important to clarify these points in advance, even before purchasing a ticket and checking in for the flight.
The permissible weight varies from 23 to 32 kg free of charge per passenger, and for a child under 2 years old a maximum of 10 kg is set.
Weight is set depending on the fare of your trip(economy class, business class, etc.). As a rule, when traveling in business class you are allowed to carry more weight than in economy class.
Remember that you cannot transport it in the luggage compartment of an airplane, whose weight exceeds the permissible maximum; will have to do in excess of the established norm, therefore, to avoid such situations at the airport, measure the weight of your suitcase yourself at home on regular scales or transfer everything into bags and suitcases.
However, in some European countries, loaders refuse to load more than 32 kg on board, and in this case the additional payment will not help in any way and you will have to put everything into an additional bag.
Your baggage is not added up in any way, and if one of your bags weighs within the normal limits and the other weighs more, then you only pay for the excess weight of the second bag.
It is worth noting that in some Western countries (Canada, USA) or the so-called members of the SkyTeam alliance, which includes the famous airline Aeroflot, a baggage purchase system is used.
A piece of luggage is 1-2 free pieces(depending on the tariff) one piece of luggage up to 23 kg (economy class), and in business class it is free 2 pieces weighing up to 32 kg for each piece of luggage, that is, luggage in this case is counted individually.
For example, you can take 2 free pieces with a capacity of up to 23 kg. One of your bags weighs 18 kg, and the other 25 kg, then your first bag is one free piece of luggage, and the second is already the second separate piece, for the excess of which you need to pay extra.
If you have airline bonus cards, then they will provide an additional 1 place.
There are also situations when a passenger needs to transport: musical instruments, household appliances, large items, then in this case you must first agree with your airline, where you will have to pay additionally for such transportation.
However, be prepared that they may refuse, since not all airliner loading hatches are capable of transporting such heavy objects.
However, as an exception, passengers can transport disabled people and, sports equipment, which counts as one free piece of baggage.
Special permission
You may carry certain items that require special permission and compliance with the necessary conditions. They pose a particular danger, and therefore they are kept in special compartments of the aircraft with restricted access.
These include: firearms, guns for hunting, checkers, sabers, crossbows, gas cartridges, large scissors, etc.
As for weapons, you can carry them on an aircraft on domestic and international flights, but only if you have the right to carry and store weapons, and in the case of international flights, then an international permit.
Before going through customs inspection, you are required to notify an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or a customs officer that you are transporting weapons, where they will be registered and deposited in special compartments of the aircraft or handed over to the crew for storage.
Remember that each airline and the airport itself sets its own restrictions.
Any weapon must be in a case and unloaded. For example, gas pistol cartridges are generally prohibited from being transported by airliner at Vnukovo airport.
All of the above items are handed over to the owner unchanged at the airport at the place of arrival.
What happens to seized items?
However, according to the general rule all prohibited items are disposed of.
As a rule, organizations that deal with the disposal of seized objects are not made public, and you will not know where they ended up.
Once removed, they are packed in black bags or packages and then burned or damaged so much that they are no longer usable.
If any items are confiscated from you, then the inspection staff will draw up a special seizure act. You have every right demand it.
If you believe that things have been illegally taken from you, which are not prohibited by the airline and airport rules, you can go to court.
If you are transporting weapons or ammunition without the appropriate permit or even toxic or explosive substances, then problems cannot be avoided, and the internal affairs bodies will initiate criminal proceedings against you.
Weapons and other restricted items will be handed over to the police.
To avoid losing valuables, you can alternatively send them by mail or through international delivery services; leave it in a storage room for a fee; transfer to relatives or friends for storage, etc.
Therefore, before you go on a trip or business trip, carefully learn the rules for transporting cargo in the luggage compartment and hand luggage, since any seemingly insignificant thing can complicate your further flight.
