S7 Airlines: All about baggage and carry-on luggage. Rules for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage at S7 airline S7 allowed baggage weight

Carrying baggage on airlines is an important point when planning a flight. If you calculate in a timely manner how much your personal belongings will weigh, you can identify the excess and eliminate it. If the suitcase cannot be reduced in any way, then the passenger needs to prepare for additional expenses - payment for overweight.

The s7 airline is no different from similar airlines in that it has prices for baggage transportation on board its aircraft. There is a standard for free transportation and a fee for exceeding this figure.

When calculating transportation fees, the following indicators are taken into account:

• number of places occupied by cargo;
• total weight;
• luggage dimensions.

In 2015, there were changes in the airline's rules and for those who purchase tickets under the Economy Basic program (their cost in this case is minimal), baggage transportation becomes paid, even if things weigh up to 23 kg.

In other cases, luggage can be carried free of charge:

• Economy class: luggage must weigh no more than 23 kg, and its maximum dimensions must be within 203 cm.
• Business class (basic) – you are allowed to have luggage up to 32 kg, its size must also be no more than 203 cm.
• Business class (flexible) - the parameters are similar to the basic one, but the number of seats is two.

S7 allows you to carry free children's accessories in the form of strollers, sun loungers or car seats, but provided that the child is nearby and is no more than two years old. If items are carried without it, then it is considered simple baggage and the usual standards for paying for extra pounds apply.

Payment varies depending on the type of transportation - domestic or international. It happens that flights to certain countries are accompanied by individual tariffs, so this information must first be clarified with the carrier.

Domestic transportation means:

• The fee for two pieces of luggage - in Economy class (basic) is 4 thousand rubles, and in Economy - flexible and Business class (basic) - 2 thousand.
• For three seats - 6 thousand rubles in Economy - basic class, 4 thousand each in Economy - flexible class and Business - basic class, and in Business - flexible this amount is 2 thousand.
• If the luggage volume is from 23 to 32 kg, then only the Economy class passenger pays for the excess and this amount will be equal to 2 thousand rubles.
• If the weight of the luggage is between 32 and 50 kg, then everyone pays for the excess (4 thousand rubles).
• If the dimensions are more than 203 cm, then all categories pay an additional 2 thousand rubles.

On international routes, different prices apply, which are indicated in foreign currency.

Baggage fees also change if the passenger flies with transfers. Sometimes it is difficult to calculate the total amount on your own, so you can contact the airline’s Contact Center and specialists will help you make the calculation.

S7 Airline is a Russian air carrier founded in 1992. Based at Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk). Until 2006 it was called “Sibir”, but then a serious rebranding was carried out. Operates regular and charter flights both within Russia and abroad.

How much hand luggage does the S7 allow you to carry, and what are the content restrictions?

Dimensions

Carry-on baggage s7 (or rather, each piece) cannot be larger than 55x40x20 centimeters. In this case, this is absolutely not a whim of the airline, but a restriction dictated by the fact that the passenger must place the item (bag, backpack, etc.) on a lockable shelf near the ceiling, or under the seat in front (of his choice). But the space there is not unlimited - after all, for example, in the Airbus A320 up to 180 people can fly at the same time, and there must be enough space for their luggage.

S7 aircraft

Note! In some seats (near emergency exits, in the front row) you cannot put things under the seat. Therefore, they need to be placed (at least during takeoff and landing) only on a special shelf overhead.

How is the size of hand luggage controlled?

As a rule, airline employees do not approach passengers at the airport with tape measures - this is not necessary. There are special template frames installed near the racks. If an item (suitcase, backpack, etc.) fits in such a frame, it can be carried free of charge.

The passenger can carry out the appropriate checks independently, even before check-in. At the same time, it is not at all a fact that everyone flying will have to undergo such a procedure. Often the dimensions are assessed visually, but if they already raise suspicion (for example, a suitcase or backpack is clearly larger than 55x40x20), then they may ask you to put the item in a frame to check the fit.

Weight

According to the rules, one piece of hand luggage carried on an S7 airline aircraft cannot weigh more than 10 kg (for economy class fares - “Economy Basic” and “Economy Flexible”) or 15 kg (for business class fares - “Business Basic”) " and "Business Flexible").

Number of seats

In hand luggage - 1 piece for economy class and 2 pieces for business class.

Size check area for hand luggage S7

What can you carry in hand luggage in addition to the specified allowance?

The S7 company rules, consistent with current legislation, define the following list:

• a handbag, backpack or briefcase, the weight of which does not exceed 5 kg, and the dimensions (the sum of three dimensions) - 75 cm;
• outerwear (type not regulated);
• a bouquet of flowers (its size and weight are not specified);
• suit in a suitcase;
• goods purchased in duty-free shops at the airport of departure (including liquids), placed in a sealed bag with a receipt attached to it. At the same time, the overall dimensions of such a package in the sum of three dimensions cannot exceed 75 cm, and the weight - 3 kg.
• crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, folding wheelchairs and other similar devices used by a passenger with limited mobility. During the flight, he will need to put such an item in a lockable luggage rack (under the ceiling), or put it under a seat that is one row ahead;
• medications or diet foods. The quantity is determined by the passenger’s needs during the flight;
• a cradle, a car seat and other devices for a child under two years old, as well as a stroller or a child car seat for a child under 11 years old, if the dimensions of such an item do not exceed 55x40x20 cm and they can be placed on a shelf above the seat, or on floor, under the seat in front.

Stroller

Note! Strollers, seats, cradles and other restraint systems can be taken on a plane free of charge only if the child for whom they are intended is traveling on the same flight. In the case when the stroller is transported without a child, the standard requirements for carry-on luggage and baggage apply to its transportation.

Transportation of liquids

Liquid in this context refers not only to a substance in a liquid state. These include objects (including food) whose consistency is pasty or creamy. These are sauces, creams, pastes, gels, aerosols, canned food and much more. That is why, for example, you can freely carry hard cheese in your hand luggage, but if the variety is soft (Camembert, Brie, ricotta, mozzarella, feta and others), appropriate restrictions are imposed on it. Or you can put olives “by themselves” in your hand luggage, but if the package contains oil or other liquid in addition to them, then the rules below come into force. The same applies to cosmetics.

So, liquids can be carried in hand luggage, but subject to certain requirements.

1. The volume of each container cannot be more than 100 ml. That is, if the toothpaste is in a 125 ml tube, airport security staff will most likely take it away at the control;

Note! The packaging does not have to be original. This will not work with an aerosol deodorant or shaving gel due to the pressure inside the container, but, for example, shampoo can be easily poured into a container of the approved size (up to 100 ml inclusive).

1. Containers must be placed in a transparent bag with a zipper (usually a zipper is used). Its volume is also limited - it cannot be more than 1 liter;
2. If a passenger does not have such a package, it is damaged (torn) or does not meet the requirements, then an airport employee can issue it free of charge, or offer to purchase it for a small amount.
3. This package must be removed from the main piece of hand luggage (bag, backpack, etc.) and placed separately on the security belt for scanning.

Bag for packing liquids in hand luggage

Additional Information! Baby food (if the passenger is traveling with a child) is not subject to the 100 ml limit per container. But there is no need to take water - the flight attendant will bring it upon request.

What cannot be carried as hand luggage:

• piercing objects. Any, without exceptions. Even such harmless, at first glance, as manicure scissors or a nail file will be confiscated. However, plastic disposable knives and forks without pointed ends are permitted;
• toxic objects, as well as poisons;
• explosives and flammable substances;
• corrosive, oxidizing substances;
• weapons (separate requirements apply to their transportation);
• radioactive items;
• other things that the security officer deems dangerous.

The general criterion in this case is clear - you cannot take on board anything that can injure or kill other passengers or crew members, or carry out a terrorist attack on board (make an explosive device, etc.). Hence the very strict requirements for liquids, which many passengers perceive with hostility. But in the modern world, additional precautions are never superfluous.

What cannot be carried in hand luggage

Exceeding the size and quantity of hand luggage

S7 Airlines cannot arrange for excess carry-on baggage, even for extra money. Anything unnecessary (that is, that which does not fit into the established standards) must be checked in as baggage. Depending on the tariff, an additional fee may be charged for this - the cost varies accordingly. Therefore, the passenger is recommended, even when purchasing a ticket (especially for a basic, baggage-free fare), to decide whether in a particular case it is possible to meet the requirements for the weight and size of hand luggage, or whether he should immediately purchase additional luggage and be calm. After all, according to S7 tariffs, the fee for luggage at the airport is much more than directly in the process of purchasing an air ticket. Therefore, trying to save a relatively small amount can be costly in practice.

On a note! S7 Airlines has fairly strict requirements for passengers' carry-on luggage. This follows from the fact that even those who bought a ticket at the cheapest fare are allowed to take a bag, backpack, or other item weighing 10 kg into the cabin. While some competitors have already reduced this threshold to the minimum permitted by law 5 kg.

For this reason, the number of those who choose “Economy Basic” is increasing. After all, with certain tricks, a suitcase or backpack 55x40x20 is quite enough for a vacation lasting a week or two, or even more. There were no new additions (changes, restrictions, etc.) in 2018, and it is unknown whether there will be any.

Restrictions on the contents of hand luggage are not imposed by the airline. They are established by international aviation regulatory authorities, and these rules are followed at every airport.

Carriage of animals on S7 flights is paid as excess baggage, based on the actual weight of the animal or bird along with the container and regardless of the number of other things of the passenger. The only exception is the carriage of a guide dog traveling with a blind passenger in economy class.

To fly with a pet, you need to get approval from the airline. To do this, send a request to transport an animal no later than 48 hours before flight departure.

When flying with an animal, you cannot check in for your flight online. You can pay for the transportation of your animal at the airport at the ticket office or at the check-in counter.

veterinary passport, with marks of rabies vaccination done at least 1 month before departure, and an animal certificate.

A guide dog accompanying a blind passenger must have a certificate of appropriate training, a collar with a leash and a muzzle. There are no restrictions on the weight and size of a guide dog.
Most often, a passenger with no vision is seated at the back of the plane, and the dog is tied by a leash to a seat at the owner’s feet for the duration of the flight.

Transporting animals in luggage

If you exceed the norms and rules for transporting animals in hand luggage, you need to register your pet as special luggage.

In special luggage, only cats, dogs, birds weighing up to 50 kg are allowed; if you are flying to the European Union - 32 kg.

Transporting animals as cargo

On flights of S7 partner airlines, animals can only be transported as cargo. To clarify the information, you should check the conditions with the airline operating the flight.

You and I have been discussing for a long time about what can be carried in hand luggage on board an airplane and what cannot be carried, but we have not yet managed to compile a detailed list of prohibited items. Every passenger planning to fly with s7 airlines simply must know what is prohibited from taking with them.

Carry-on luggage s7 is bags, suitcases, packages, boxes weighing no more than 10 kg. Length – no more than 115 cm in three dimensions (height, width, volume). You need to take the most valuable things with you into the cabin of the plane - what is truly vital: passports, tickets, money, jewelry, essential medicines and cosmetics. What things are prohibited?

First of all, all types of weapons are prohibited: gas, firearms, pneumatic, and even cold weapons. It will not be possible to transport a knife with a blade larger than 6 cm. Items that imitate weapons, as well as children's pistols, darts, bullets, and slingshots, are also taboo. What jokes are in the air here! Passenger safety comes first.

Any piercing or cutting objects are prohibited: scissors, files, forks, screwdrivers. Those who like to knit will not even be able to grab knitting needles. Needles and syringes are also prohibited. If you need to get an injection on board, do not forget to take a prescription from your doctor with you.

Anything that can be used for terrorist purposes is prohibited: explosives, flammable liquids, lighters, ropes, gases, tape. You can only take ordinary liquid in hand luggage up to 1 liter of 100 ml in a separate bottle: mineral water or shampoo, for example. There are no restrictions on food for babies.

10 kg: favorite cat, dog or parrot. All other predators - welcome to the luggage compartment. A pet cage or container is required to keep surrounding passengers safe. The airline must be notified about sharing a flight with a feathered friend 48 hours before the flight.

There is a taboo on sports equipment on board: hockey and golf clubs, baseball bats, skis, and even a ball. All this is transported in the luggage compartments.

When packing your bags, do not forget about these prohibitions, because there is no need for unnecessary conflicts during the inspection. Have a good mood and have a good flight!
