Hand luggage S7 often raises questions among passengers, although the airline’s rules regulate this problem quite clearly. The questions are mainly caused by the fact that the rules for carrying hand luggage are different for different classes of passengers. You just need to understand that passengers economy class S7 airlines are allowed to take only 1 piece with them, and its weight cannot exceed 10 kilograms. However, there are restrictions on its size.
In any case, such luggage should not be larger than 20 by 40 by 55 centimeters. By the way, at airports, at check-in counters, a special frame is usually installed to determine whether luggage meets the requirements for this size.
For business class passengers, there are also restrictions on things allowed into the cabin: the weight of hand luggage should not exceed 15 kilograms. The difference is significant, although the price of tickets for business class and economy class differs quite significantly.
The dimensions of baggage in the business class cabin remain the same as for economy class. Frequent flyers often prefer to purchase a special carry-on suitcase that exactly meets the size requirements.
What can you take as carry-on luggage?
The second part of the questions regarding S7 hand luggage concerns its contents. Like other carriers, S7 Airlines allows you to take into the aircraft cabin only those items that may be needed either on the plane itself or immediately after landing, while the baggage has not yet been received.
For this reason, the following are allowed as carry-on luggage:
- briefcases, backpacks or handbags (the total dimensions should not exceed 75 cm and weight 5 kg);
- various electronics, such as mobile phone, laptop or video camera (all this must be placed in the bag);
- necessary clothing (outerwear and backpack);
- flowers in a bouquet;
- various aids for the disabled that are placed on the top shelf or under the chair, for example, crutches or walkers;
- documentation;
- baby food;
- duty free goods;
- and other things necessary for the flight.
Please note that handbags and backpacks are allowed into the cabin without taking into account a bag or suitcase checked as hand luggage. That is, you can take a small suitcase and backpack with you, but they should not exceed the specified dimensions and weight.
The rules of S7 Airlines specifically stipulate the possibility of transporting a baby stroller. In general, the transportation of baby strollers is carried out without taking into account the general baggage allowance, however, in hand luggage you are only allowed to carry a cradle from a baby stroller, and even then if it does not exceed the dimensions of 20 by 40 by 55 centimeters.
It is clear that a travel-friendly cane stroller does not fall under these requirements due to its size, and therefore must be carried in luggage. Another clarification concerns the free carriage of strollers. A baby stroller can be transported free of charge only if a child under 2 years of age is accompanying the parents. If the stroller is transported without a child, then it is either included in the total weight of baggage or is paid additionally.
How to transport animals in the cabin of an airplane
And finally, one more addition regarding the transport of pets. The animal container, like hand luggage, cannot exceed the dimensions of 55 by 40 by 20 centimeters. At the same time, the tame animal itself, together with the container, should not weigh more than 8 kilograms. Only in this case can the animal be taken with you to the salon.
If dimensions container exceeds these dimensions, and the weight of the animal is 8 kilograms, then it is transported in the luggage compartment. Therefore, you need to take into account the weight and size of the animal in advance when assessing your capabilities for transporting it.
By the way, you will have to pay extra for transporting the animal in any case. It is also necessary to take into account that the transportation of an animal must be coordinated with the airline no later than two days before the plane departs. This is done in advance because, according to airline rules, no more than 2 animals can be transported on one flight at a time.
Each airline applies restrictions on the carriage of cargo on an airplane. These standards are presented on the websites of air carriers, and when booking a ticket, be sure to familiarize yourself with them. Otherwise, if you take it with you excess baggage, you will have to pay it in accordance with the proposed tariffs. At S7 airline, the surcharge rates for baggage and the rules for transporting it are not much different from the tariffs of other Russian air carriers.
Baggage options
Important! It is necessary to distinguish between checked suitcases and items that you will take with you to the cabin. Different restrictions apply to them.
All luggage parameters are divided into three categories:
- Number of places. Each suitcase or bag carried is considered one piece. If there is more than one, an additional payment is assigned.
- Weight. For S7 luggage, as with other companies, if the suitcase is overweight, you will have to pay the established tariff. This also applies to the excess weight of your bag, which is included in the free baggage allowance.
- Dimensions. Checked baggage items, when summing up their length, height and width, must fit into 203 cm. You can take a bag into the cabin that does not exceed the dimensions of 55x40x20 cm.
To check the compliance of hand luggage with permitted standards, special restrictive cells are located near the check-in counters.
Cost and different tariffs
Three years ago, S7 introduced a tariff system, according to which you can choose the option that suits you. Each of them provides restrictions on baggage transportation:
- Economy Basic. Registered cargo is paid separately. Its maximum weight is 23 kg. Items weighing up to 10 kg are allowed into the salon.
- Economy Flexible. Free transportation of one piece of luggage weighing up to 23 kg is allowed.
- Business Basic. Hand luggage - up to 15 kg, luggage compartment suitcase - up to 32 kg.
- Business Flexible. You are allowed to carry two suitcases weighing up to 32 kg each; a bag weighing up to 15 kg can be taken into the cabin.
If you buy a ticket at the Economy Basic fare in S7, then the additional payment for luggage will be at least 2,500 rubles. Depending on the flight area, it may be higher, but this amount will be collected at the airport. And when you register online for a travel document and a piece of luggage at the same time, you will receive a 28% discount. Thus, the price is reduced to 1800 rubles.
By purchasing a ticket from S7, you can also buy the additional baggage service. This is a new offer that allows you to save money. How much a possible surcharge for excess baggage costs directly at the airport is determined by S7 rules. It depends on the flights or destinations served by S7, if excess baggage is allowed on the company’s aircraft.
Skiers are allowed to carry snowboards, skis and equipment free of charge, but with a weight limit. According to the S7 Economy tariffs - up to 23 kg, Business - up to 32 kg, the cost of excess baggage is determined in accordance with the general procedure. The dimensions of sports cargo are not limited.
How much to pay above the norm

- If the flight is a multi-part flight, then this amount must be paid only for one part of the flight in one direction.
- Full surcharge for flights with a transfer to domestic flights will increase 2 times.
- When a connection is made with a flight to other countries, the surcharge is calculated by doubling the single cost for international flights.
- If the transfer exceeds 23 hours, the additional payment is calculated at the Contact Center.
Important! The cost of excess 1 kg of baggage on S7 aircraft is not calculated. The surcharge is general within the limits of excess weight.
There are several ways to pay for additional baggage at S7:
- when booking a ticket on the website s7.ru;
- V mobile application S7 Airlines;
- in an Aeroport;
- in the Contact Center.
Additional norm
The “Additional baggage allowance” service will help you reserve additional kilograms in advance. With its help, you will purchase one or two additional pieces or pay for excess weight of the free suitcase (up to 32 kg).
S7 Airlines has set the cost of the surcharge for additional baggage in accordance with the time of request.
The cost of an additional piece of baggage on an S7 aircraft is calculated using a special formula based on tariffs for exceeding the standards adopted for certain destinations.
The cost of the service is determined by the discount, which will affect the price of additional baggage on the S7 aircraft:
- Purchasing the service at the time of booking - 20 percent discount when calculating the surcharge for excess loads.
- Purchased when booking online 4 hours before departure - 10% discount.
Important! The service does not apply to non-standard cargo over 32 kg, exceeding the permitted dimensions, and with more than two additional seats.
When you pay an additional fee for additional suitcases according to this service, and then cancel the flight or the flight is cancelled, the money must be returned.
Transportation of animals
Animals are transported in S7 as paid excess cargo, that is, you have to pay extra for their transportation, even if you are entitled to a free piece of hand luggage or checked cargo.
You can arrange your transportation directly at the airport. No later than 48 hours before departure, you must notify the Contact Center that you will be traveling with an animal.
Where the animal will travel depends on its weight. The S7 company allows only pets in the cabin: dogs, cats, birds. Each animal in the cabin up to 8 kg must be in a cage or plastic container, which must provide it with access to air and a free position. The same requirements for a pet container apply when transported in the luggage compartment. The dimensions of the cage for hand luggage must be no more than 115 cm in total. The weight is determined by the total: animal + cage.
Pets that do not meet these parameters are transported in the luggage compartment.
Two individuals can be transported in one container when their weight is up to 14 kg and they are capable of peaceful behavior towards each other. Otherwise, if you exceed the weight, you can place a cage with one animal in the luggage compartment.
Important! Animals in the luggage compartment weighing more than 32 kg are often not allowed on international flights, except for flights to CIS countries. On domestic flights - by agreement with the Contact Center and only if there are available seats in the luggage compartment.
Additional payment for transportation of animals on domestic routes:
- in the aircraft cabin (weight up to 8 kg, dimensions up to 115 cm) - 2000 rubles;
- in the luggage compartment (weight up to 32 kg, dimensions up to 203 cm) - 4000 rubles, the same for weights up to 50 kg - 8000 rubles;
- dimensions more than 203 cm, weight up to 23 kg - 4000 rubles, up to 32 kg - 6000 rubles, up to 50 kg - 8000 rubles.
Additional payment for transportation on routes to CIS countries:
- in hand luggage - 35 euros;
- in the luggage compartment a standard cage less than 203 cm - 70 euros (weight 23-32 kg);
- cage over 203 cm (weight 23-32 kg) - 105 euros.
Surcharge on international flights:
- flight in the cabin of an S7 aircraft - 50 euros;
- in the luggage compartment - 100 euros (weight 23-32 kg);
- size exceeding 203 cm (weight 23-32 kg) corresponds to an additional payment of 150 euros.
To transport animals, in addition to additional payment, you will need veterinary documents certifying the animal’s health status.
What else to consider
If you fly with S7 at the Economy Basic fare, then the additional payment for baggage will cover the benefit of the reduced ticket price. The best option- flight without a checked suitcase, only with hand luggage.
The S7 company does not allow you to take excess hand luggage into the cabin; it must be placed in your luggage, and the additional payment is made in accordance with the general rules.
Carry-on luggage, in addition to the bag or item established by the regulations, includes:
- outerwear;
- flower bouquets;
- duty-free goods (up to 3 kg, total dimensions 75 cm).
If the cargo exceeds 203 cm and 32 kg, only S7 can decide on its delivery. The determining points in this case are the size of the luggage compartment and the degree of its occupancy. If you are carrying such cargo, be sure to call the Contact Center in advance.
By strictly following the rules and navigating the variety of tariffs, you will be able to transport the necessary cargo with minimal costs and without unpleasant surprises before departure.
Hello friends. Today is important news. After November 5, 2017, new rules for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage on flights will come into force Russian airlines. If previously each carrier had its own requirements, now the rules will be the same for all Russian airlines (except for the low-cost carrier Pobeda).
Attention! Once again: the law is only for Russian airlines. All other airlines have their own rules that comply with the laws of their state.
The rules to which airlines and we, aircraft passengers, are subject are called “General Rules.” air transport passengers, baggage, cargo and requirements for servicing passengers, shippers, consignees." They were adopted on June 28, 2007 by order of the Ministry of Transport Russian Federation. Since then, the rules have been amended. But the norms were very different and vague. For some carriers they were generally too rigid.
On October 5, 2017, a new law No. 409 was issued amending the document. The changes affect everyone who uses air transport, i.e. and you and me.
It is clear that the law contains many interesting details, which we will not talk about. Today we will talk about the most important thing, what everyone who wants to fly with a Russian airline will face.
Let's agree on terms
- Baggage - suitcases, bags or boxes that we weigh at check-in and check in as luggage.
- Carry-on luggage is things packed into a bag, briefcase, backpack or package that we take with us into the aircraft cabin and on which the “carry-on luggage” tag is hung.
- Things that we take into the cabin of the plane and that do not have a tag attached to them. (Laptops, cameras, gadgets, clothes, flowers, baby food, crutches, canes, etc.)
There are many interesting details in the law that we will not talk about. And we will only tell you about the most important thing, about what an ordinary tourist who wants to take a flight with the help of a Russian airline will encounter.
The law comes into force on November 5, 2017. This means that everyone who buys air tickets after November 5 is subject to these amendments.
The law does not apply to those who have already purchased tickets in advance (before November 5). This is what is written in the same rules.
The most important things about the new flight rules
General requirements that are important to us as travelers relate to baggage allowances and the carriage of items in the aircraft cabin. Let’s try to clearly explain these rules so that you don’t have any questions and understand what our pros and cons are.
Baggage requirements
Earlier: the maximum weight of one piece of luggage should not exceed 32 kg.
Now: a new requirement has been introduced - the weight limit for 1 piece of baggage is 30 kg for all air carriers. Less is possible, more is not possible.
1 piece of luggage is one suitcase. If you are checking in a large backpack, then this is 1 backpack, if you are checking in a bag, then this is 1 bag.
But! This does not mean that now you can take 30 kg of luggage on any ticket. Here important point, it depends on what fare ticket you bought. Simply put, an economy class ticket has fewer options than those who took, for example, a business class ticket.
All luggage can be broken down by weight:
- Up to 10 kg, from 10 kg to 30 kg, over 30 kg
- Baggage up to 10 kg is free
Previously, the weight norm was paid luggage It was different for different companies, but now it is the same for everyone.
This means that no company can write in its rules: “It is allowed to carry luggage weighing no more than 3 kg (or 6 kg or 7 kg).” The norm is 10 kg for everyone! You yourself are not required to gain exactly 10 kg, you can take less at your discretion, but the company cannot set you a lower luggage weight limit.
Luggage weighing from 10 to 30 kg
There are some nuances here. As before, you need to go to the carrier’s website and read its rules - what weight your luggage should be in accordance with the tariff of your ticket. This means that “the upper limit can be 23 kg, 25, 27 to 30 kg. If the company rules for your tariff indicate an upper limit of 23 kg (that is, you can carry no more than 23 kg for free), and when weighing If your suitcase at check-in was overweight, then you either need to take something out and leave it, or pay extra for the excess.
Excess baggage
Baggage that is not included in the price of your fare ticket is considered excess baggage.
Example: you bought a ticket Moscow-Vladivostok"Economy flexible" tariff. The ticket price includes baggage allowance weighing up to 23 kg. If your luggage weighs more than 23 kg, but does not exceed 30 kg, then this weight is considered excess and you will have to pay extra for it.
Find out how much it will cost on the airline's website.
Baggage weighing 30 kg
Typically, a passenger who has purchased a business class ticket can carry this much for free. With this fare, the passenger has more options.
Baggage over 30 kg - Heavy luggage
Anything over 30 kg that does not fit standard dimensions is considered heavy cargo. Additional payment for each kilogram is at a special rate for “heavy load”. Each company has its own tariffs. Read the rules on the company’s website (section “Baggage Transportation”). This is required information.
Perhaps this is the main thing.
Baggage free ticket
Let me add that many companies still have a baggage-free tariff. This is when you don't take any luggage at all and fly only with hand luggage. Tickets are cheap, but there are inconvenient nuances. The main one is that such a ticket is non-refundable.
Consolidated baggage
It is also possible to combine the belongings of two or more travelers into one piece of luggage (put all items in one suitcase - 1 piece of luggage). The weight of such luggage should also not exceed the same 30 kg.
What are the pros and cons that we have in connection with the introduction of the amendments?
Pros: Standard standards have emerged for everyone. The main one is that you can take free luggage weighing up to 10 kg. Here the norm has increased and we feel better.
Minuses: maximum luggage weight limit: instead of 32 kg, you can now take luggage weighing no more than 30 kg
Friends, we are now on Telegram: our channel about Europe, our channel about Asia. Welcome)
Hand luggage - new norms
Earlier: Different airlines had their own requirements. For example, for some: you can take no more than 3 kg in hand luggage, for others - no more than 4, for others - no more than 5 kg, and for some up to 10 kg.
Now: The hand luggage allowance for all carriers is at least 5 kg per passenger. For us this means: we can take less than 5 kg, but carry-on luggage is prohibited above this weight. At the same time, the carrier can change this figure upward at its own discretion. Those. You still need to read the rules, because... some companies may set a limit of 6, 7 kg per person or even 10 kg, which, of course, will please us.
Also, be aware of the dimensions! Those. your hand luggage must fit not only into weight standards, but also into size (length, width, height). Dimensions standards, as before, need to be found on the carrier’s website. There are no changes here.
Earlier: we could check in hand luggage and, in addition to it, carry laptops, cameras and cameras on the plane for free.
Now: All this is included in hand luggage.
In other words, you cannot transport separately:
- telephones;
- laptops;
- cameras;
- documents in folders;
You'll have to put them in your bags. Their weight is also taken into account when calculating the weight of hand luggage.
Is your laptop in your bag or suitcase? You don't need to pay anything extra. Do you want to carry it separately? You are due.
If previously hand luggage was weighed only at check-in, now it can be weighed before boarding (apparently in cases where the bag is suspicious). This is important for those who took few things with them, checked them in as hand luggage, and bought “baggage-free” tickets.
Attention! Your hand luggage can be weighed at the port of arrival!
Minuses this innovation: now at home you will have to carefully weigh your hand luggage and make sure that there is no excess.
Pros: The aircraft cabin will be less crowded. All your hand luggage will fit into the luggage compartment in the aircraft cabin and you don’t need to worry whether there is enough space for your things on the shelf or not.
Updated 19.02. 2018: Due to increasing passenger complaints about the lack of space for hand luggage in the aircraft cabin, Aeroflot has tightened control over the carriage of hand luggage. You can read about it Here.
What things can you take on board the plane without having to check them in as hand luggage?
Both before and now you can take with you things you need during the flight or immediately after landing. They are not checked in as hand luggage and do not require additional payment.
Here is a list of them. The list will be supplemented, but definitely will not be able to be cut:
- handbag, backpack, briefcase;
- bouquet of flowers;
- your clothes (jacket, coat); If we fly from a country where it’s +27 degrees in our winter, where it’s -27. Or vice versa, like this additional package with things it’s very relevant.
- special children's food; But no more than is needed for the flight.
- specially packaged suit;
- cane or crutch;
- a baby stroller or cradle, which, when folded, fits under the seat of the chair in front;
- walkers, which, when folded, fit under the seat of the chair in front;
- medical chair for those who have difficulty moving.
Are the positions familiar? They were previously allowed to be carried free of charge. Now the list has been expanded:
- sealed bag from dutyfree;
- medications, everything necessary for medical reasons for the passenger.
And once again, what is now prohibited from being transported separately:
- phone, laptop;
- an umbrella, even a small one;
- papers in a folder;
- newspapers, books, magazines;
- camera, camera.
What are the pros and cons of all this?
Pros: The minimum weight limit for hand luggage has increased to 5 kg.
Minuses: The maximum weight requirements for hand luggage have been reduced from 10 to 5 kg. Laptops, cameras, documents will have to be counted as hand luggage.
I think we will get used to the new normal and figure something out. Other countries already have experience; you can use their life hacks.
Video - How the Scots pack things in a special vest
There are people who figure out how to carry more things in the cabin of the plane and not pay for it. One option is an airline passenger vest. Interesting idea.
Common Questions
What happens if I refuse payment?
Refusing to pay for something that you can no longer carry for free? For example, a laptop. Everything is simple here - you may not be allowed on board. They will, of course, tell you about this. And they will give you a second chance to pay. But we don’t recommend taking risks - they will simply cancel your ticket if you insist.
You paid more than you brought. What to do?
Only if you overpay for the number of seats will you get your money back. If you paid for 2 seats, but only used one, you will be refunded.
Carry-on baggage weighs more than allowed. Is it possible to pay extra?
No! This is a question of passenger safety. If it doesn’t fit in the weight and dimensions, you won’t be allowed to carry it with you.
If the carrier does not follow the new rules
These innovations are relevant for everyone. If you see that they are being violated, you can contact Rospotrebnadzor. To do this, you need to save all the tickets and receipts you receive. Don't pay extra without a receipt! You may receive compensation, but the carrier will be fined.
The rules have changed, perhaps something has become less convenient for us. But, if you think about it, you can find the right “luggage combination”!
This is probably all of the main things. If you still have questions regarding the nuances (oversized cargo, baggage consolidation, refund, etc.), we highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with rules(study changes in the order “General rules for air transportation of passengers, baggage, cargo and requirements for servicing passengers, shippers, consignees”) and deal with your specific case. There are a lot of errors and misleading information on the websites and even in the CT video. Use the original!
Our "Victory"
Pobeda Airlines is a subsidiary of Aeroflot and positions itself as low-cost.
In Russia, today, this is the only low-cost company, so its requirements are slightly different in the direction of minimalism.
Assume that the essence of low-cost airlines is to reduce the price of a ticket as much as possible, i.e. make it cheap, then the rules of Victory will become more clear to you.
Low-cost airlines (from the English “low-cost” - low costs) are a type of airline that operates on an unconventional transportation model, which involves providing very cheap air tickets.
The s7 company is the second most popular air carrier in Russia, which is distinguished by a wide variety of services and often receives positive feedback from passengers. The legal name of the airline is Sibir. One of the most popular questions that interests tourists is the rules for carrying baggage s7, and in what cases you will have to pay extra for the service of transporting things.
Baggage is items that are transported separately and cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin, unlike hand luggage. The rules for carrying luggage bags and carry-on luggage are always different, so do not confuse these two concepts.
Standards for baggage transportation at the Sibir company
S7 airlines depends on three parameters:
- Amount of space taken up - free of charge, 1 person can carry one bag or box.
- Baggage weight – requirements here depend on the chosen fare. The "economy flexible" ticket contains a free standard for 1 piece of luggage up to 23 kg, the "business basic" fare allows you to carry 1 piece of luggage up to 32 kg, and "business flexible" customers can carry 2 pieces of luggage weighing up to 32 kg without paying. each.
- Dimensions in three parameters - width, height and length. The free standard for “flexible economy” and business class tickets is no more than 203 cm based on the sum of three parameters.
Participants in the special Priority Siberia program can count on additional baggage space of up to 23-32 kg, depending on the card level. For some routes, the free standard may be increased; details should be obtained by calling the airline at 8 800 700-0707 or +7 495 783-0707.
Also, in addition to the established norm, tourist s7 can carry sports equipment as luggage for free - accessories for winter sports, boots, skis, ski poles, helmet. These items are considered in addition to the main baggage. Sports equipment should be packed in a separate case - the free weight for an economy ticket should not exceed 23 kg, and no more than 32 kg for business fares. If the equipment weighs more, you will have to pay for the excess.
When purchasing a ticket from s7 for the “basic economy” class, only hand luggage is free, but baggage transportation is paid according to established standards. Therefore, passengers often do not understand how much luggage costs on an s7 plane if the ticket does not include luggage? Delivery of items in the “basic economy” class will cost 2,500 rubles. You should pay for such baggage when purchasing an air ticket on the official website, or directly at the airport.
When paying for baggage and purchasing a ticket online at the same time, the passenger receives a 28% discount, so he will only need to pay 1,800 rubles. After issuing a ticket, you can pay for the service only at the contact center or at the airport.
It is worth noting that flying with the “basic economy” fare will only be beneficial if you are traveling without luggage. Otherwise, it is better to take a “basic flexible”, where you can choose a seat in the cabin and carry 1 luggage bag for free.
How much does excess baggage cost in other classes?
