At the end of last year, amendments were made to the general rules air transport luggage

According to the law, everything Russian airlines must obey the same standards.

What baggage rules are relevant in 2019?

New baggage rules allow a bag/suitcase up to 30 kg for one passenger seat on an airplane. Each passenger, according to the rules, is issued individual luggage.

Russian and international airlines generally divide baggage into the following weight categories:

For a child under 2 years old, you can check in separate luggage up to 10 kg.

The allowed baggage weight depends on the ticket category:

  • In economy class – 20 kg per passenger.
  • In business class – up to 30 kg.
  • In first class - up to 30 kg.

If the weight of baggage exceeds the permissible limits, it is called excess baggage; luggage over 30 kg is heavy.

Most carriers allow a slight excess of luggage of 1-2 kg. If the excess weight is more than 2 kg, you will have to pay extra.

In case of excess baggage, the passenger pays extra for each extra kilogram. There are no uniform tariffs: each airline sets its own price.

Depending on the airline's policy and the specific flight, the excess charge can be calculated as follows:

  • Based on the cost of the maximum economy class fare. With this approach, 1 kg of excess weight costs 1.5% of the ticket price.
  • Based on the fixed amount established by the air carrier. This amount may differ on different flights and ranges from 5-15 € per kg.

In addition to weight, luggage may exceed the standard dimensions, including the sum of 3 dimensions (length + height + width). Such baggage includes:

  • Sports Equipment;
  • some musical instruments (double bass, guitar);
  • large household appliances.

The maximum dimensions of checked baggage for all classes must be 158 cm.

To transport large cargo, a preliminary agreement with the airline is required. On the day of departure, it is recommended to arrive at the airport in advance, since such cargo takes longer to register.

The company may refuse to transport oversized cargo if there is not enough space in the luggage compartment.

How much does luggage cost on a plane if the ticket does not include luggage?

Many airlines provide a baggage-free travel service, according to which passengers fly only with hand luggage.

The advantages of this service include the reduced cost of the flight. The downside is the fact that the tickets are non-refundable.

You are allowed to carry any items in your luggage, except those that are classified as dangerous in international practice. A list of them is provided on the air ticket.

It is also important to understand that there is no single global standard for baggage transportation for all airlines. You need to focus on the country to which the passenger is flying.

For example, when flying to Dubai, it is prohibited to take on board items and books of a religious nature other than Islam.

According to the rules, most airlines prohibit transporting in the luggage compartment of an aircraft:

Most airlines do not allow you to take a mercury thermometer into the cabin. It must be checked in as luggage, packed in a plastic case, and placed so that it is not damaged under any circumstances.

Most airlines prohibit the carriage of all types of knives, from pocket knives to kitchen and hunting knives. But there are also airports that allow the carriage of penknives and folding knives without fixation up to 6 cm in length.

To transport knives longer than 10 cm (household, hunting, etc.) in luggage, you must first obtain special permission. If a knife is carried in luggage as a bladed weapon, then it must also be in a case.

It is also permitted to transport in checked baggage, subject to the required conditions, such sharp objects as:

  • scissors;
  • razors;
  • swords and checkers;
  • bayonets and swords;
  • scimitars;
  • crossbows;
  • simulators of any type of weapon.

According to the transportation rules, it is not advisable to put in luggage:

Important! Take these items with you in your hand luggage or leave them at home.

Airplane baggage restrictions

Liquids include:

You are allowed to carry any of these liquids in your luggage. There are no restrictions on volume, however, general permissible weight standards must be observed (see above).

You can carry medicines in your luggage that are not prohibited by customs regulations and are freely available, i.e. sold without a prescription.

Customs regulations prohibit the carriage of narcotic and psychotropic substances on planes. A prescription from a doctor indicating the dose is required for the following products:

Official bans in many countries include potent substances that may be contained in some medications, for example, such as:

  • codeine;
  • phenobarbital, ;
  • pseudoephedrine;
  • chlorphenamine maleate;
  • diazepam.

The permitted amount of medications on an airplane is very conditional: for your own use during the trip. If more than 5 packs of medicines are found in luggage, then customs services will most likely have questions for the passenger.

To avoid fines and confiscations, obtain documents proving the need to transport medications in these quantities.

All medications transported on an airplane must be in their original packaging and comply with the expiration date stated on the packaging.

Note! To ensure smooth transportation of insulin, you should apply for a diabetic passport before your trip.

You can place food in airplane luggage provided that:

  • This product is not included in the customs prohibited list (for international flights).
  • This product is not on the airline's list of restrictions.
  • The liquid product is unopened and hermetically sealed.

If a flight is made between countries, then the transported items and products are subject to customs requirements for individuals. They are set by the host countries, and these requirements must be taken into account.

As for domestic flights, customs regulations Such baggage does not apply.

Before traveling, it is necessary to find out the requirements of the customs of the country of destination, as well as the country where the transfer is made.

Customs bans often concern epidemiologically hazardous products without original packaging. For example, it is prohibited to import meat and dairy products into EU countries; This measure was introduced to prevent the spread of infections.

US Customs does not allow a number of products from other countries to pass through, including:

  • meat;
  • eggs;
  • fish;
  • dairy products;
  • many types of vegetables and fruits.

For carrying exotic fruits from southern countries You will need a special container so that they are not damaged during the flight.

On domestic Russian flights, you can carry an unlimited amount of alcoholic beverages with a strength of up to 24° in your baggage (but no more than the general weight standards for baggage allow).

Strong drinks (24–70°) - up to 5 liters, with:

  • up to 3 liters of alcoholic beverages – duty free;
  • over 3 and up to 5 liters - with additional payment at customs.

The uniform vehicle rate for exceeding the norm by 3 liters is 10 € for each liter in excess of the norm.

These rules for individuals apply to any imported alcohol in luggage, including:

  • beer;
  • vodka;
  • champagne;
  • wine, etc.

Alcohol can only be transported on an airplane in its original packaging.. Homemade wines and moonshine will be confiscated at customs.

In some countries, restrictions on the export of alcoholic beverages are even stricter. For example, from Hungary you can export no more than 1 liter of strong alcohol (from 22%), and up to 2 liters of less strong alcoholic beverages.

An exception is made only for grape wine and beer: here the restrictions are less strict - you can take out up to 4 liters of wine and 16 liters of beer.

Alcohol with an alcohol content of 24–70% is only allowed in checked baggage, and this must be taken into account when traveling on Russian air carriers.

There is no limit on the number of cigarettes you can carry in checked baggage. The basic rule is not to exceed the limits of the customs service of the destination country.

One passenger is prohibited from bringing into the territory of the Russian Federation more than:

  • 200 cigarettes (one block);
  • 50 cigars;
  • 250 grams of tobacco.

Important! Minors are strictly prohibited from carrying cigarettes.

These restrictions apply in all EU countries. In the USA, the limits are as follows: a passenger 21 years of age or older can carry up to 2 kg of tobacco (leaf).

As for electronic cigarettes, there are no restrictions on their transportation. Such a cigarette is equivalent to electronic devices such as a laptop or telephone.

Lighters are strictly prohibited on most airlines. The following cannot be carried in luggage:

  • zippo brand lighters;
  • souvenir lighters, even if they do not contain a single gram of gasoline;
  • other types of “personalized” lighters.

You can take a regular lighter filled with liquefied gas on board an airplane.

So, when planning a flight on domestic and international flights, be sure to study what and in what quantities you can carry in your luggage. The information presented above in the article will help in this matter.

Video: New rules for baggage and hand luggage on airplanes have come into force

Today, air travel is the most convenient and fastest way to travel. However, even those who are not flying for the first time often encounter a number of certain issues. Some of the most common ones are related to the transportation of baggage - how many kg of baggage can be carried on a plane for free, what is considered acceptable and how many kilograms can be taken on a plane per person.

Before boarding the plane, any passenger will have to go through a baggage weighing procedure. Only a few things that a person takes with him on board an airplane are not taken into account - a handbag, a phone, a laptop, crutches, a wheelchair and a cane. Each company has its own established rules, and if the luggage weighs more than a certain amount, the passenger will have to pay according to the tariffs.

How much is one person allowed to carry for free?

Most airlines have the following rates for free baggage transportation:

  • Economy class passengers can carry up to 20 kg;
  • Business class passengers up to 30 kg;
  • When purchasing a first class ticket, you are allowed to carry up to 40 kg.

Usually this norm is calculated from the total weight of the luggage and hand luggage. But some companies do not count carry-on luggage when calculating, so you should check with your carrier about the rules. It is worth remembering that these are average values, the norm is set by a specific company.

You should also take into account the length of your luggage. For economy class passengers, baggage should not exceed 158 cm, and for first and business class no more than 203 cm.

In addition to weight control in airlines, there is also an assessment of baggage by the number of pieces. Another important condition is the choice of class when purchasing a ticket, since the more expensive and higher the gradation of the class, the more favorable the conditions for transporting things.

To successfully transport your own belongings, you should consider some rules:

  1. Baggage weight cannot be added together. Let’s say two people are flying and carrying luggage in the amount of two bags, the norm should not exceed 32 kg, one bag weighs 35 kg and the other 30, for the first bag you will have to pay extra at the rate for 3 extra kilos.
  2. The wheels, pockets, and other accessories of the bag itself must be taken into account when determining the weight, not just what is in it.
  3. The transportation of non-standard luggage must be coordinated with the airline; some things are allowed to be carried for a fee, some are free. For example, skis or a bicycle are usually calculated as one place without taking into account weight and length.

The amount of free baggage allowed in different airlines

Transaero

The Transaero company uses the following principles for determining the weight of luggage: the first group - all flights other than transatlantic, the second group - it includes destinations to America, Brazil and Canada. In the first group, up to 20 kg of free baggage can be carried by passengers with a Tourist ticket, up to 25 kg can be carried on an airplane in Economy class, up to 35 kg can be carried free of charge with a business ticket, and up to 45 kg when purchasing an Imperial class ticket.

If we talk about the second group, then there are two free pieces of luggage weighing no more than 25 kg for tourist and economy classes; for business class tickets there are two luggage pieces of 32 kg each; imperial class passengers are allowed to carry three pieces of luggage weighing no more than 25 kg. more than 32 kg each.

If the luggage exceeds the established number of kilograms, then the excess fee will be from 100 to 150 dollars depending on the weight.

If you are going to fly on S7 flights, you must take into account the following rules: economy class passengers are allowed to carry hand luggage weighing no more than 10 kg, paid luggage - no more than 23 kg, in flexible economy class hand luggage should not exceed 10 kg, and Baggage allowance is limited to 23 kg.

When purchasing a ticket for basic class, you are allowed to take two pieces of hand luggage with a total weight of no more than 15 kg, and you are also provided with one free piece of baggage weighing no more than 32 kg.

If the weight of one piece of luggage exceeds 23 kg, then the passenger will have to pay an average of 25 euros for excess weight, and if the luggage weighs more than 32 kg, then you will need to pay about 50 euros.

Aeroflot

Aeroflot has established the following baggage allowances: when purchasing a business class ticket, you can carry bags on the plane in the amount of 2 pieces of luggage not exceeding 32 kg each, comfort class and premium tickets provide two pieces of luggage not exceeding 23 kg each, and in economy tickets It is allowed to carry 1 piece of no more than 23 kg.

On Aeroflot planes you can take hand luggage weighing 10 kg for economy class passengers and 15 kg for business class passengers.

If, when transporting baggage with Aeroflot, the weight exceeds 23 kg, but not more than 32 kg, then the passenger will have to pay 50 euros for flights within Russia and 100 dollars for flights to a number of other destinations. If the weight of baggage exceeds 32 kg, but not more than 50 kg, then the passenger must pay 100 euros for flights within the country and 150 dollars for other destinations.

The long-awaited vacation time is coming and many Russians will go on vacation by plane. Those who have decided to take a flight with a new airline or who have not flown yet have a question: “How many kilograms can you carry on a plane?” Each airline may have its own baggage allowance.

The best decision would be to find out everything in advance useful information, and then pack your bags. Necessary to find out:

  • What size of luggage is allowed (bags, suitcases...).
  • What is the free baggage weight allowance.
  • What can be in hand luggage?
  • All about the extra weight.

Most often, airlines use weight control, although there is also a quantitative assessment of baggage (number of pieces). For example, a bicycle, a set of golf items, and skis will be considered as one piece of luggage, and the size and weight are not important. In addition to the individual requirements of each company, there is a gradation by class - the more expensive and higher the class, the more baggage you can carry for free on the plane.

Sometimes it happens that the baggage taken with you exceeds the permissible limit, in which case it is worth using the service of paid baggage transportation, paying for the weight taken in excess of the limit.

Everything that the passenger intends to transport must be presented during check-in for the flight. Such measures are taken for the safety of this flight.

Baggage allowances for most airlines:

  • Economy class – up to 20 kilograms
  • Business class – 30 kilograms
  • First class – up to 40 kilograms

These weight restrictions include the weight of the luggage itself and the weight of hand luggage.

There are also size restrictions:

  • Economy class – up to 158 cm
  • First and business class - 203 cm

In addition, for a small child under two years old, the baggage weight limit should not exceed 10 kilograms.

The only things you can carry in excess of the weight limit in the aircraft cabin are:

  • handbag
  • coat
  • blanket or scarf
  • cane
  • camera
  • plastic bag
  • book or magazine
  • small
  • baby stroller
  • bouquet of flowers

If you suddenly have to transport oversized luggage, then when purchasing tickets you need to discuss its weight and dimensions and pay the airline for excess overload. After this, you can calmly and happily hit the road.

Air travel is the fastest, most convenient and reliable way of travel and transportation, allowing a passenger and his luggage to move from one place to another in just a few hours, despite the great distance of these places from each other. However, the specific nature of air travel allows the transportation of people only to those airlines and airports that fully comply with generally accepted international standards of safety measures.

In order for the passenger to be given boarding pass, he must strictly comply with the strictest flight rules, which also include the carriage of baggage on board the aircraft. This is done for the general safety of all passengers and the aircraft.

The presented rules are mandatory for all passengers, regardless of the purpose, nature of the trip or the prestige of the cabin class in which you are flying.

In other words, this is a complex of organizational issues aimed at ensuring comfort and speed of flight. And baggage transportation is one of the most important organizational issues, which must be treated especially responsibly in order to eliminate the occurrence of possible problems.

Airplane baggage allowance for 2019

As for the transportation of baggage, it is worth immediately noting the following: the rules providing for this process do not have a single global standard, so there are variations of them, which are influenced by a number of factors.

First- the country you are flying to, since each state has its own rules and standards. For example, when going to Dubai, under no circumstances should you carry with you (not only in your luggage, but also in your hand luggage and in your pockets) objects and literature of a religious nature that are not related to Islam.

Second— Baggage allowance is affected by the choice of airline. In addition, to the permitted permissible weight baggage is affected by the class of ticket purchased (for example, economy or business class) and the type of aircraft.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications and problems when checking in luggage, it is necessary to clarify all of the above points during the process of purchasing tickets. If you have non-standard luggage, you should find out the rules for its transportation in advance.

The first thing you need to do is find out which items and things that you want to take with you can be transported by plane, and which are prohibited.

However, despite differences in some baggage rules, all airlines have general rules for baggage transportation, used all over the world.

General baggage allowances on board the aircraft

1 - first you need to make sure that the suitcases or bags that you will check into separate places are in good condition and integrity (the absence of various kinds of cuts and cracks) in order to prevent damage to the items contained in them and adjacent luggage during their transportation.

To be safe, you can wrap your luggage yourself in cellophane film. The same procedure can be performed directly at the airport for a small fee. We recommend doing this! By doing this, you will definitely not stain or tear your suitcase or bag.

2 - each airline has its own rules that set the weight and size of checked baggage and unchecked (carry-on) baggage. If you exceed any of the parameters, you will have to pay extra.

3 - you should remember the list of things that are strictly prohibited from being carried on board the aircraft. Neither in checked luggage nor in hand luggage!

Leave them at home or take them with you in your hand luggage!

Total baggage weight and hand luggage

Things and objects permitted for transportation directly in the passenger cabin of an aircraft are called hand luggage, which is often transported in small bags.

Naturally, the purpose of these restrictive measures is to ensure an adequate level of safety for the aircraft and its passengers throughout the entire flight.

For this reason, most airlines prohibit the carriage of such items in hand luggage as:
  • Knives and long scissors (and sometimes even nail scissors);
  • Corkscrews;
  • Knitting needles;
  • Needles for injections, including hypodermic ones, excluding prescribed cases;
  • Razors, blades and other piercing and cutting instruments and objects.
In addition, there are some restrictions on carrying liquids in hand luggage, such as:
  • Shampoo;
  • Gel;
  • Perfume;
  • Spray;
  • Mascara;
  • Cream;
  • Water and soft drinks.

According to the rules, it is allowed to transport the listed liquids and substances in hand luggage only in small quantities (up to 100 ml) and exclusively in sealed packages (more accurate data is provided by the specific airline that provides you with services). Exceptions include baby food and liquid medications that will be consumed during the flight. Exemptions also include liquids and goods purchased in duty-free shops ( "Duty Free").

As for the weight of luggage and hand luggage, certain limits also apply here. For hand luggage, the weight range ranges from 7 to 15 kg for 1 piece. For luggage, the permissible weight is on average 20–30 kg.

There is also a list of items and things that a passenger has the right to carry with him free of charge in the aircraft cabin, even if they exceed the permissible weight limits (20 kg) for unpaid baggage allowance:

  • Briefcase or handbag;
  • Umbrella;
  • Paper folder;
  • Cane;
  • Bouquet of flowers;
  • Crutches and wheelchair for transporting a passenger with limited mobility;
  • Mobile phone;
  • Outerwear and suit in a suitcase;
  • Printed publications for in-flight reading;
  • Video camera and photo camera;
  • Laptop;
  • Baby cradle for transporting a child.

Items from the list are not marked, weighed or presented for registration.
Regarding the transportation of non-standard and oversized items, such as musical instruments, sports equipment and others not included in any of the lists, you must contact airline representatives in advance.

As can be seen from everything written, carrying luggage is a rather complicated process, and in order to avoid problems, it is better to take care in advance to comply with all measures and requirements.

If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments. Please check the details about your flight and luggage: flight direction, amount of luggage, etc. We, in turn, will try to answer everyone as soon as possible.

Dear passengers, the rules of transportation were written not to limit your rights, but to ensure that your flight is safe. Don't ignore them!

And finally. It should be remembered that it is better to arrive at check-in 2 hours before departure in order to ensure a good mood and prevent possible difficulties.
