S7 Airlines (JSC Siberia Airlines) - “All about my repeated flights with S7 in different directions. Features of flying as a family with a small child or stroller

Carrying hand luggage in S7 involves the transportation of certain items on board, without transferring them to the cargo compartment of the aircraft. This is convenient when you need to transport some valuable cargo or essential equipment that may be needed on the road. The main thing is to take into account the regulations, the current rules for carrying hand luggage in S7, and also strictly comply with the requirements of the air carrier. Ignorance of conditions often leads to additional costs, flight delays or a number of other difficulties.

Norms and rules in force in 2017

When studying the airline's conditions, it is important to take into account the calculation features and the chosen fare. To be more precise, according to the rules for carrying baggage and hand luggage in S7, it is taken into account:

• Cargo weight.
• Dimensions.
• The number of places things take up.
• Rate.

Based on this, it is determined standards for checked (regular) baggage and carry-on baggage:

• "Economy Basic". In this tariff plan, you are allowed to carry hand luggage per piece of no more than 10 kg of items with dimensions up to 115 cm or 55 * 40 * 20 cm. You will have to pay for baggage that is subject to check-in, and its weight is limited to 23 kg.
• "Economy Flexible". Here, the rules for carrying hand luggage on the S7 ship are similar. The only thing that changes is that it becomes possible to transport up to 23 kg of cargo measuring up to 203 cm (the sum of 3 dimensions) for free.
• "Business Basic". Hand luggage can take up two pieces. The permissible dimensions do not change, but the total weight can be up to 15 kg. The rules regarding checked baggage are the same as in the previous fare.
• "Business Flexible". Here the conditions are almost the same as in “Business Basic”, with the exception of receiving two pieces of checked baggage. Weight and dimensions standards remain unchanged.

The rules allow passengers to additionally carry (in addition to main luggage) certain sports equipment, namely a snowboard, alpine skis and auxiliary equipment. The main condition is that the total weight should not be more than 23 kg (for the Economy tariff) and more than 32 kg (for the Business tariff).

Carrying hand luggage at S7 Airlines - additional rules

The carrier allows passengers to take additional items into the cabin that are not included in the free cargo allowance. This category includes products that may be needed on the plane, during boarding and immediately upon exiting the aircraft - a laptop, an umbrella, a folder for papers, magazines and books, a camera, a suit in a suitcase and more. This includes a stroller (for children under 11 years old), a car seat (for children under 2 years old), and crutches or a wheelchair.

Carrying liquids in hand luggage S7

Special attention is paid not only to the dimensions and weight of the cargo being transported, but also to the contents of the luggage. In particular, certain items are prohibited by law from being transported on board. This category includes various gases (liquefied and compressed), flammable liquids, toxic components, radioactive materials, toxic and toxic elements, and others. The full list is provided on the official resource.

Regarding the carriage of liquids in S7 hand luggage, here also certain rules apply. Allowed transportation:

• Three percent hydrogen peroxide in a container of up to 100 ml per passenger.
• Various gels, aerosols and liquids that are not classified as hazardous and have a volume of no more than 100 ml. All products must be well packaged and transported in a transparent plastic bag.

If the composition is poured into a container larger than 100 ml, according to the rules for transporting liquids in hand luggage S7, taking such cargo with you is prohibited. This is true even for those cases when the container has a capacity of more than 100 ml, but is only partially filled.

The exceptions include only three categories of things - baby food, medications and compounds that are necessary for diabetics. You can also carry drinks that were purchased at duty-free outlets or directly on the plane. The main condition is mandatory packaging in a plastic bag and its typo.

Knowing the rules for carrying baggage and hand luggage, you can avoid many problems. It is important to understand that all requirements are determined primarily by safety requirements for passengers and crew.

Finding cheap flights

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 excess baggage with you, you will have to pay for it in accordance with the proposed rates. 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:

1. Number of places. Each suitcase or bag carried is considered one piece. If there is more than one, an additional payment is assigned.
2. 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.
3. 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:

1. Economy Basic. Registered cargo is paid separately. Its maximum weight is 23 kg. Items weighing up to 10 kg are allowed into the salon.
2. Economy Flexible. Free transportation of one piece of luggage weighing up to 23 kg is allowed.
3. Business Basic. Hand luggage - up to 15 kg, luggage compartment suitcase - up to 32 kg.
4. 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.

Important! Dimensions for carry-on and checked baggage remain standard for all fare types.

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 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.

Some rules for calculating the cost of surcharge for baggage at S7 airline:

1. If the flight is a multi-part flight, then this amount must be paid only for one part of the flight in one direction.
2. The full surcharge for a flight with a transfer on domestic flights will double.
3. When a connection is made with a flight to other countries, the surcharge is calculated by doubling the single cost for international flights.
4. 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;
• in the S7 Airlines mobile application;
• 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:

1. Purchasing the service at the time of booking - 20 percent discount when calculating the surcharge for excess loads.
2. Purchased when booking online 4 hours before departure - 10% discount.

If you purchase the service less than 4 hours before departure, you will not receive any discounts.

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 is to fly 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).

It is better to purchase additional luggage from the S7 carrier online in advance to avoid unnecessary costs.

If the cargo exceeds 203 cm and 32 kg, only S7 can decide on its delivery. The determining factors 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.

Greetings to all those who stopped by.

I'm starting my long story about S7 airline, take a comfortable position and get ready for a long journey.

Over the past few years, I periodically fly planes to different cities in Russia with different airlines. I have flown with Siberia Airlines many times and each time the flight has been interesting.

Siberia Airlines has been on the air transportation market for quite a long time.

Year of foundation S7 Airlines: 1957.

The company's fleet includes more than 70 aircraft, most often flown by Airbus, less frequently by Boeing. The airline operates both domestic and international flights. S7 is based at 2 airports: Tolmachevo (Novosibirsk) and Domodedovo (Moscow).

The planes of this airline are easy to recognize; they are green. The planes are quite clean and tidy. I haven't seen any broken chairs.

The airline staff are quite polite and smiling. Despite multiple flights, I did not observe any conflict situations on board the ship. All flights were soft and smooth, without rumble or shaking.

Purchase and return of tickets

You can buy tickets both at air ticket offices and on the Internet. Refunding a ticket depends on the fare you chose when purchasing (either impossible or a loss of money).

S7 application

By installing this application on your smartphone, you can control your bonus account, buy and book a ticket, check in for a flight, watch the departure board, etc.

check-in

You can check in for a flight on the airline's website 30 hours before departure, in the S7 app or at the airport.

When purchasing a ticket with a cheap fare, free seat selection on the plane is not possible. EXCEPTION: passengers with children. Children under 12 years old are given certain seats in the cabin, so when you purchase a ticket, you will be assigned a seat.

Baggage transportation

There are a couple of nuances in transporting luggage with this airline. The baggage allowance for 1 adult passenger is 23 kg + hand luggage 7 kg. Several years ago, my wife and I flew from Novosibirsk with one suitcase that weighed a little more than 23 kg. The airline employee at the check-in counter offered 2 options for transportation: put the excess in a second bag (one piece of luggage for each passenger) or pay for the excess. Previously, we didn’t have such problems with other airlines; one baggage was taken into account for two passengers and we didn’t have to pay for excess baggage. We were not prepared for such a turn of events; we did not have a spare bag in our pockets and we were forced to pay for the excess. Now at home before a flight with S7, the weight of luggage is checked to the nearest gram.

Transporting a baby stroller

This service is provided by the airline free of charge, even if you divide the stroller into 2 blocks. When checking in your baggage, you can check the stroller right away and walk around the airport with your baby in your arms, or you can check it in as luggage at the boarding ramp. The stroller can be picked up either at the boarding ramp or together with your main luggage. Our stroller, weighing 13 kg, was divided into 2 blocks before flights and was always carried free of charge. At check-in, the stroller is weighed and checked in as oversized baggage at a separate check-in counter.

Meals on board

I have a couple of complaints about the airline's food. Once, after dinner on board the ship, I became seriously poisoned. The second incident occurred not so long ago; for breakfast, chicken and potatoes were offered, which contained quite a lot of ginger. Ginger is a product whose presence in food should be warned in advance.

The food portions are good and the dishes are filling. Even on short flights, a light sandwich lunch was provided (although another airline on the same route had no snacks at all and only served drinks).

Tea and coffee are of relatively good quality. They always offered lemon and milk with drinks. From soft drinks: drinking water with and without gas, 3 types of juice, sometimes Pepsi and similar sodas. The number of soft drinks is unlimited; you can order both water and juice at the same time. After the main meal, the staff re-offers hot drinks.

For an additional fee, you can order individual meals and baby food in advance.

The airline uses good quality disposable tableware, so you won't get poorly washed mugs.

Flying with a child

A child under 2 years of age is transported free of charge without the provision of an additional seat. A cradle is not provided; the child spends the entire flight in the arms of a parent. A seat for the child is assigned automatically, as this seat must be equipped with an additional oxygen mask. A child under 2 years old is entitled to free baggage allowance up to 10 kg + free carriage of a stroller.

On an airplane, the child is fastened with an additional seat belt to the parent's belt.

The airline gives gifts to children. On one flight we were given a bib and wet wipes, but on the second flight we did not receive a gift. The neighbors were given a bag containing pencils and a notebook with assignments.

Young children cope best with flying when they are breastfed.

Ways to save with S7

1. Participate in the loyalty program. This program is beneficial for frequent fliers. Bonus miles are awarded for flights, which can later be exchanged for a ticket, but in this case you will still have to pay for fees. The number of miles can be increased by online check-in for a flight (50 bonus miles are awarded for online check-in), using a joint bank card (S7-Tinkoff, Alfa-Bank, Promsvyazbank, Bank of Moscow), using the services of partner companies (hotels, car rental, insurance , online stores, etc.).

I would like to dwell in more detail on the accrual of bonus miles for purchases in online stores. The list of online stores is quite wide, among them: Lamoda, Aliexpress, Daughters and sons, M video, iHerb, Sportmaster, Obbi, etc. In order to receive bonus miles, you need to go to the S7 airline website--> to the S7 Priority section--> program partners--> online stores--> to the desired store to make a purchase.

You can also transfer the missing miles to your friend or family member. The minimum transfer is 500 miles. The cost of translation is 375 rubles.

From time to time the airline has special offers to accrue additional miles on certain routes.

3. Probably each of us paid attention to how much food costs at the airport. I have always been interested in the question of where airport staff who receive the average salary eat. At Domodedovo Airport, in the parking area, there is building S7, which houses a canteen for employees with free entry for other visitors.

Canteen address: Domodedovo building 6/1.

The dining room is clean, cozy, there are a lot of visitors in it, there is enough space for everyone. For 150 rubles in 2018, I bought a full meal consisting of chicken noodle soup, rice with chicken cutlet and compote. The portions are large, the food is delicious. The dining room has a fairly large assortment of dishes, cash and non-cash payments are possible.

Canteen opening hours:

From 6.00 to 23.00.

Breaks: 10.45-11.15, 16.00-17.00

Example prices from the menu:

Buckwheat 150 grams - 35 rubles

Chicken cutlet 100 grams - 75 rubles

Bread - 3 rubles per 1 slice

Fruit drink 200 ml - 25 rubles

This is where the journey ends. Thanks for stopping by.

The air carrier S7 Airlines is one of the leaders in the air transportation market. It has over 1,000 domestic and international flights. The company is constantly improving its customer service. Thanks to this, the number of tourists traveling on its aircraft is increasing. Many people are interested in the question of what rules for the transportation of baggage and hand luggage have been established by the air carrier. Let's find out in this article.

Carry-on baggage allowance at S7 Airlines

Transportation of hand luggage S7 is carried out in accordance with established rules and tariffs. Accordingly, the passenger is allowed to take a certain number of bags on board. This parameter depends on the flight fare.

Tourists traveling on the Economy Basic fare can take hand luggage weighing up to 10 kg into the cabin. At the same time, its dimensions must correspond to three parameters: 55x40x20 cm. If a tourist flies at the Economy Flexible fare, he can take hand luggage with him, the dimensions and weight of which are similar to the previous fare.

Free baggage and hand luggage allowance

The Business Basic tariff plan allows you to carry bags weighing up to 15 kg and measuring 55x40x20 cm as hand luggage. The Business Flexible tariff has similar rules for carrying hand luggage. It is worth considering that if these standards are exceeded, a certain fee is provided. It depends on the dimensions of hand luggage, as well as the flight fare.

You need to remember about the items that are allowed to be transported in hand luggage. These can be food products that are ready to eat. It is also allowed to transport baby food. It just doesn't have to be cooked. In addition, you can transport necessary medications and other personal hygiene items. Liquids are transported in 100 ml containers, no more than 1 liter per passenger.

Baggage allowance

One passenger can transport one bag or box as checked baggage free of charge. It is worth considering that their dimensions and weight must correspond to the established parameters. They are different in all tariff plans.

The "Economy Basic" and "Economy Flexible" tariffs provide for free transportation of luggage whose weight does not exceed 23 kg, and its dimensions in three parameters do not exceed 203 cm. In the "Business Basic" and "Business Flexible" tariff plans, the weight of luggage is increased to 32 kg, but the dimensions in three parameters remained similar (203 cm). In S7, excess baggage must be paid at special rates. They can be found on the airline's website.

Additional baggage allowance

In some tariffs, the norms for free baggage transportation have been increased. Members of the carrier’s loyalty program can take advantage of these privileges. Passengers also have access to the new “Additional Baggage Allowance” service. You can use it directly on the airline’s website.

You can do this in the following ways:

• in the “My Bookings” section of the website after making payment;
• during web registration;
• when booking flight tickets online.

The cost of S7 baggage above the norm is reduced if you pay for transportation services on the airline’s website. After making the payment, the passenger receives a receipt, which must be printed and presented at the airport.

Transporting animals on an airplane

The airline does not prohibit tourists from transporting pets. But there are certain rules:

• animals must be in special cages or carrier bags;
• the parameters of such cages should allow pets to freely stand up and turn around;
• there must be special materials at the bottom of the cage;
• Cage doors must close tightly;
• dogs are transported wearing collars and muzzles.

The weight of the cage or carrier should not exceed 10 kg, and the dimensions in three dimensions should not exceed 115 cm.

It is worth considering that to transport animals you will need a veterinary passport. This document contains vaccination marks. To travel abroad you will need an international veterinary certificate. Also, all pets at the airport are examined by a veterinarian.

Important! You must notify the company about transporting a pet a few days before the planned departure.

Transportation of skis and snowboards

Sports equipment of this type is allowed to be transported on airline aircraft. Moreover, during the winter season it is transported free of charge. It must be packed in special cases. Its weight should not exceed 23 kg, and its dimensions in three parameters should not exceed 203 cm. In other seasons, the rules for transporting such luggage have been changed. You can find them on the airline’s website or ask questions by calling the hotline.

Damage to luggage

If defects are discovered after receiving your luggage, you must not leave the special area. You need to contact airport staff. They will offer to write a statement and draw up a damage report. Based on these documents, a decision on compensation for damage will be made. You also need to provide a luggage tag and boarding pass.
