New rules for transportation of baggage and manual. Free baggage is canceled

Each year in the field of flights, changes are occurring relating to the size and weight of permissible baggage. To know what bags and suitcases can be taken with you, you need to get acquainted in advance with all the requirements for the largest Russian airlines for baggage. One of these airlines is Aeroflot. Let's try to find out what standards of baggage priority adopted by Aeroflot in 2020.

What caused changes in the rules of baggage

At the beginning of 2020, passengers have swept the wave of changes associated with new luggage transport rules: the system of checking bags and a suitcase has become more serious, and also changed requirements for hand-made sizes. According to experts, such changes are associated with the flow of a large number of complaints about the lack of space under personal belongings on board the aircraft.

Passenger Luggage Control Features

Each person who first preparing to the flight should get acquainted with the passenger baggage control system to know what to be prepared. The following features of baggage transportation system are distinguished:

  1. All things taken by a person with them on the trip are divided into manual sting and directly luggage. The hand baggage includes small bags and briefcases that a citizen can take with me to the salon. A special tag is attached to it, testifying that we have a certain type of baggage. This marking will be primarily important for airlines and airport employees, and not for the passenger itself. Things that cannot be taken with you to the cabin of the aircraft are called luggage. They give up before, when registering on board the aircraft.
  2. All things that a citizen wants to transport with them by plane are subject to a mandatory preliminary inspection procedure. All this is carried out for security purposes. Check by a person's pronounced things can not only at the reception, but also before passport control. At some airports, another zone of inspection of personal belongs can be directly before entering the landing. The number of inspection areas depends on the airport.
  3. The ability to transport permissible luggage for free. If a suitcase, brought by a citizen, weighs more than that is permitted by the airline, then it will have to pay extra for it. In other cases, the passenger can count on the fact that his things will be transported for free. The cost of baggage is automatically laid in the cost of a plane ticket.

Manual jack

In 2020, the following requirements for carrying hand-made bags on board the aircraft were established:

  1. Dimensions may not be more than 55x40x25 cm. This means that if your bag does not satisfy this dimensional indicators (exceeds them), it will be transferred to baggage status. Previously, the last indicator was 20 cm, however, in 2018 (according to numerous requests of passengers), it was increased by 5 centimeters. This significantly distinguishes the requirements of Aeroflot compared to other major airlines (S7 Airlines, Ural Airlines, UTair). They have the requirements remained the same - 55x40x20 cm.
  2. Hand bag weight can not exceed 10-15 kilograms. The final weight depends on the class chosen by a person. If the passenger flies the business class, then the upper border of the hand-made weight will be 15 kilograms for it. When choosing other classes ("comfort" or "economy"), the passenger will be able to carry only 10 kilograms with him.

Important! Representatives of the airport and airline are serious about hand-made requirements, so each thing of the passenger, which he wants to carry under the guise of hand-made bag, will be checked. To check whether the size of the passenger's bag satisfies the requirements established by the airline, the airport representatives use a special framework. If the baggage enters this frame, it can be carried into the airplane cabin.

What can be taken into the plane

There is a whole list of things that can be carried by a person in the cabin of the aircraft. These include:

  1. Bouquet of flowers.
  2. Package from duty-free shop (Duty-Free). Its dimensions should not exceed 115 cm (summed values \u200b\u200bof length, widths and heights).
  3. A small portfolio, a lady's bag or a backpack, the total size of which does not exceed 80 cm, and the weight is 5 kilograms.
  4. Upper clothes. Her citizen can peel freely into the cabin to make comfortably feel during the flight.
  5. Suit in a special case. Many diplomats often make business trips and carry suits with them. In order not to lean them, special covers are used. The opportunity to carry a suit with you to the cabin in a special case allows a person not to worry about the safety and cleanliness of his clothing.
  6. Food for children.
  7. Solid food (cookies, chocolate, fruit, etc.).
  8. The folding stroller, the dimensions of which do not exceed 42x50x20 cm, and the mass - 7 kilograms.
  9. Medicines necessary to man in flight.
  10. Musical instruments whose dimensions do not exceed 135 cm over the sum of three dimensions. Such requirements satisfy the violin, saxophone, etc. You can also carry a guitar, the dimensions of which exceed 135 cm, however, the transport of such a hand-made bag must be agreed with representatives of the airline in advance (36 hours before departure). If the traveler decided to carry the musical instrument, then he must remember that it will become the only place in the hand baggage. The rest of the things will have to take into baggage.

Important! Previously, it was possible to carry a camera, a laptop or an umbrella separately from hand liner, but now these things should be removed into manual sting. If the passenger took with him an umbrella cane, he will have to hand over her luggage, since he does not fit in the backpack. Requirements for the submission of these things on the aircraft, Aeroflot changed only in 2020.

Liquids on board

Requirements are presented not only to things, but also to transported fluids. They must meet the following requirements:

  1. Their container should not exceed 100 ml.
  2. They must be packed in transparent closing packages so that representatives of the airport in case of suspicion could familiarize themselves with the contents of the package.

Important! Not only drinks (juices, water), but also cream from the sun, shower gel, shampoo, as well as mascaras, fall under the rules of fluids.

Pets of animals on board the aircraft

Aeroflot provides its passengers to carry animals, but it presents certain requirements for their import:

  1. Preliminary approval with the airline. If the passenger needs to carry a pet, he must notify the representatives of the airline in advance. The application of the passenger on the transport of the animal is considered within 1-2 days, after which the airline makes its decision.
  2. Supplement for transporting pet. The final cost depends on the direction and duration of the flight. In foreign flights, it is approximately 75 euros, and in flights in Russia - about 4 thousand rubles.

Important! You can not transport any animal on board. On board are categorically not allowed rodents, reptiles, fish and arthropods. Also carry no pugs and Pekingese, because they belong to the brachycephalous breeds of dogs.

Luggage free standards: size and weight

In Aeroflot, there are rules and norms of provision of not only hand baggage, but also baggage, which is surrendered to the luggage compartment of the aircraft. The number and weight of baggage in Aeroflot depends on the selected flight class.

As a general rule, the size of such baggage in the amount of three dimensions should not exceed 158 cm.

Important! The number of luggage places is played a key role in flight flights from Aeroflot.

Cost of additional place and baggage

If dimensions, weight or number of luggage places exceed the established standard for luggage in Aeroflot, then the passenger will have to pay extra for their transportation on board the aircraft. Aeroflot establishes the following tariffs for additional, extensive baggage.

Conditions of oversized baggage

There is not only standard, overall baggage, which is handed over to the passenger upon registration on board, but also the so-called non-standard luggage. An oversized baggage includes luggage, whose weight ranges from 32 kilograms to 50 kilograms, and the size exceeds 203 cm over the sum of three dimensions.

Most often, representatives of the airline are encountered with the following options for oversized baggage:

  1. Equipment for skiing or bike, golf or hockey games. 1 person can transport 1 set of equipment for each of the listed sports species for free.

To carry such luggage, you need to agree in advance with the airport service, and also pay extra at the rate for another passenger seat.

Answer: In the baggage you can carry no more than 5 liters of alcoholic beverages in the sealed intact packaging.

Question: What to do if Aeroflot lost luggage?

Answer: Like any other airline, Aeroflot can lose luggage. If this happened, the passenger must perform a number of steps to return missing things:

  1. Contact the search service personnel in the arrival area.
  2. Write a corresponding statement.
  3. Track the status of the search. The search case is assigned a specific number by which you can follow the procedure for finding baggage. You can track the search in a special section on the Aeroflot website.

Waning luggage Aeroflot representatives must within 21 days. The found luggage should be delivered by the airline's employees to the client. If the baggage was not found, the passenger could present the airline written claim and demand compensation for damage and payment of monetary compensation.

The entire luggage transported by the passenger, including manual sting, as well as things transported above the installed standard of free transport and without charging the board must be presented when registering on the flight, which is caused by the safety requirements.

The passenger's luggage that the airline takes on its responsibility for its safety, marked by the luggage tag and is transported in the luggage compartment of the aircraft, called the recorded luggage.

Dear passengers, we draw your attention that the norms of free luggage and hand baggage is dependent on the class of service. In case of exceeding the manual layer of the established norms by the number of places (for flights with SU 6001-6999), the weight or sum of three dimensions, the passenger should be passed to handle as recorded baggage.

If the result will be exceeded by free baggage, specified in the ticket, you must produce a surcharge in accordance with the tariffs of payment of excess luggage.

When you enter the landing, an additional check of the hand-made passengers for compliance with the standards in size and weight with the help of special measuring instruments, as well as by the number of places (for flights with SU 6001-6999) is carried out.

To fly as comfortable as possible for you and other passengers as comfortable as possible, we recommend taking a light and compact manual stall, and to transport only the most necessary items. This is especially true in the winter season, when many travel with winter coats and plenty of baggage.

To accommodate things in the passenger compartment, a luggage shelf and a special place under the seat of the in front of the armchair are designed. On board the aircraft, we ask you to follow the instructions of the crew on the placement of large hand baggles (close in size to the maximum rate of transportation) on the luggage shelves, less large elements of hand-made bags - under ahead of the chair. Please note that the use of subcurrent space in the ranks of emergency exits during the takeoff and landing of the aircraft is not allowed.

In order to comply with the safety requirements, manual sting, not exceeding the transportation rate installed by the carrier, if there is no possibility of placing it in the passenger compartment, can be transmitted by the airline personnel to the luggage compartment for its transportation as baggage without additional fee.

Going on the journey by plane, passengers take with them the luggage and manual sting. The aircraft has long become the fastest way to move between cities and countries. From November 5, 2017, new norms and rules of baggage and hand baggage on the plane entered into force. There are general rules for the carriage of things, but some airlines contribute to their additions. I would recommend familiarizing yourself with them before purchasing air tickets.

While I was preparing this article, the Ministry of Transport published an order "On Amendments to the Federal Aviation Rules" General Rules of Air Transport Passengers, Luggage, Cargo and Requirements for Passenger Services, Passover, Consigraners. " So I tried to collect the most actual information About new rules of baggage and hand-made.

General rules regulate the amount of luggage and its weight. Of these, you can also find out what is allowed, and what is forbidden to take on board the aircraft. It is necessary to distinguish such concepts as luggage and manual sting.

Under the baggage is understood by the things that you rent in the aircraft cargo. It can be a suitcase, bag, backpack, etc.

Manual sting are things that you take inside the aircraft. When flying, they are placed on a special shelf over the seats. If things are not dimensional and will not bother you on the way, they can be placed under the seat ahead of the seated passenger.

The luggage surrendered for each passenger individually. Most often this happens when registering on the flight. Luggage is placed on a special tape-conveyor, which shows its weight on electronic scales. In the absence of overload, the airport officer sticks a special barcode on it, and it goes to the long tangled airport tunnels with straight to your aircraft. You will give you a coupon about the delivery of baggage. Be careful with him. If suddenly the baggage is lost, this coupon is very useful for you.

Currently installed three types of tickets:

  1. non-refundable
  2. irrevocative with the norm of baggage
  3. return with luggage.

If your ticket provides luggage, it cannot be installed by the carrier less than 10 kg.

Most often allowed free luggage weight Next:

  • for passengers traveling economy class - 23 kg. on man
  • for passengers business class, baggage weight should not exceed 32 kg. on man

Most airlines adhere to the sum of three baggage measurements not more than 158 cm.

  • for children up to 2 years old, the norm of free baggage is 10 kg (the sum of three dimensions should not exceed 115 cm)
  • for children from 2 to 12 years old, there are baggage provisions, as for an adult.

Important! Specify the standards of free luggage provisions and its size before buying a ticket, since these parameters may differ from different carriers.

When traveling together with one luggage, it is possible to carry usually 30 kg., Not as I would like to unite the norms of transport per person. If your ticket provides for luggage, then when combining it additional payments will not need.

Loocososters most often take an additional fee for a pronounced luggage. Moreover, when buying a luggage ticket in advance its price is lower than when paying at the airport. The difference can reach 50%. If you want to save, calculate in advance how many things take with you.

If you paid luggage, and in fact it was not used, then this amount is subject to return. For example, you bought two places of baggage, but used one. The actual difference must be returned. This measure refers to the weight, size and number of baggage.

Cell-carrying baggage procurement will have to be paid additionally. Each airline has its own tariffs for over-limit kilograms. It happens, representatives of airlines close their eyes to a small buggage advantage, but it is not worth counting on it.

Hand baggage rules

According to the new rules for the transport of passengers, the norm of hand-made bag is defined. It should be at least 5 kilograms. At the same time, the carrier can increase this minimum standards. For example, to increase the attractiveness of their tickets. Also at the discretion of the carrier left and dimensions are left-handed. I think many have heard of the minimum sizes of a backpack permissible to the salon or a 36x30x27 y handbag.

In practice, the following parameters are most often found:

  • for passengers economy class - up to 10 kg.
  • for business class passengers - up to 15 kg.

The sum of three dimensions should be not more than 115 cm.

Manual sting can weigh both when registering and so far as a plane.

In my practice of flights, I have come across many times with the fact that the manual stall simply was not weighed. It all depends on the stiffness of the requirements of airlines.

Additionally, a passenger has the right to take a passenger

  • upper clothes
  • suit in Portpele
  • bouquet of flowers
  • women's handbag, briefcase, backpack (weight and dimensions, which are installed by air carrier)
  • baby food for child for flight
  • chairs, strollers for children, as well as removable cradle from the stroller (the dimensions of which are installed by the carrier)
  • drug and dietary preparations
  • crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, a folding wheelchair used by the passenger and having dimensions that allow them to safely place them in the cabin of an aircraft on the shelf over the passenger seat or under the seat ahead of the standing passenger seat;
  • goods purchased in Duty Free, packed in a sealed plastic bag (weight and dimensions are installed by the carrier)

These things will not be weighed and marked.

According to the new rules, a laptop, a mobile phone and an umbrella is excluded for transportation over hand-made bags. But they can be put, for example, in a portfolio or backpack, which are allowed for free transportation.

What can not be taken in the plane

You can put almost everything into the luggage of the aircraft, with the exception of things that can cause harm to the liner and passengers:

  1. easily flammable substances and liquids: powder, firefight, Bengal lights, Acentton, gasoline, etc.
  2. weapons: firearms and cold type (checkers, swords, swords, etc.). Transfer only if there are special documentation.
  3. gases, including lighters, aerosols

Of course, many of these things are hardly lucky on vacation ordinary people. Flight safety primarily, therefore, it is necessary to fit the baggage carefully. In addition to completely prohibited things for transportation, many countries impose restrictions on the import / removal of certain products. For example, alcohol and cigarettes.

It is necessary to approach the formation of hand-made bags. There are significantly more restrictions on the transportation. Agree when you surrender the luggage and comes the time-checking time, it will not be very pleasant to part with your favorite cream or shampoo. I once got into such a situation in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhen the passenger inspection staff wanted to throw out only the recently acquired face lotion, tone cream and several more packaging of cosmetics. And all because I did not pay attention to the liquids in the aircraft. Then I just started to travel and did not know that creamy products are also considered liquid.

The Federation Council approved the law on the abolition of a mandatory standard of baggage, included in the cost of non-returning airflight. Increasing innovations.


What rules have been operating so far


Art. 106. The Air Code of the Russian Federation provides that the passenger of the aircraft has the right to a free provision of its baggage within the established norm. At the same time, "the norms of free baggage transport, including things under the passenger, are established depending on the type of aircraft and there may be less than ten kilograms per passenger. " Specific rules were established by airlines.

What changes are approved by the Federation Council


In the approved bill, it is envisaged that "the passenger air transportation contract providing for the condition for the non-return of the transport fee ... it may not provide for the standard of free luggage. " Specific rules are installed by the carrier that "It is obliged to inform passenger aircraft on the conditions of baggage and hand baggage. " Thus, the complete abolition of free baggage will be applied only to non-return tariffs.

In addition, instead of "things under the passenger", The Codex introduced the concept of "manual sting". Separately stipulates the right of "free hand-made provisions within the rate that is installed by the carrier".

The law will come into force after 60 days After signing by the president and publication.

All these things can be included in a minimum hand-made rate of 5 kg.

These rules are currently under public discussion, according to the results of which changes may be made.

What rules are valid in Russian airlines


Airlines still interpreted the legislative norm about 10 kg of free baggage in different ways.

Depending on the direction, weight and number of excess luggage places. The most expensive costs of baggage from Japan to Europe will cost.

How regulated baggage abroad


In most other countries (including in the USA and the EU), the regulation of baggage standards is given at the discretion of airlines.

Lufthansa.

At all intercontinental flights, economy-class passengers can transport one place of baggage weighing up to 23 kg, one manual sting up to 8 kg (55x40x23 cm). On flights of the small and medium length of the airline, there are new European tariffs "Light", "Classic" and "Flex". The cheapest tariff "Light" allows you to travel only with manual loop and does not give the right to rejoice or refund. The provision of one place of baggage weighing up to 23 kg is paid separately. On domestic flights it costs from € 15 (when buying on the company's website) up to € 55 (at the landing), internationally - € 25-55.

Delta Airlines.

You can fly one hand-made stall (Lady handbag, briefcase, camera in case, package with diapers, laptop) and one personal thing (jacket, umbrella, food or drink, bought after putting luggage, shopping from Duty-Free, stroller, portable children's Chair, wheelchair or crutches). The dimensions of the hand-bag in the thickness-width should not exceed in the amount of 114 cm. Bagage tariffs differ depending on the directions. On domestic American flights one bag up to 23 kg costs $ 25, the second is $ 35. On most international flights, the first luggage weighing up to 23 kg - for free, for the second surcharge can reach $ 100.

Elena Miklashevskaya, Elena Fedotova, Evgenia Chernysheva, Olga Shkurenko

The federal aviation rules (FAP) were made amendments, according to which the minimum weight of hand-made bags, proclaimed free, is reduced from 10 to 5 kg. Also in the FAP was added the very concept of hand-made bag.

Before making the appropriate amendments, the passenger had the right to free checks at least 10 kg of baggage for both return and non-return tickets.

The air carrier independently determined how these 10 kg will be transported

- In hand-made bare or in the luggage compartment of the aircraft.

Now the norm of hand-bal bed is "at least 5 kilograms." Thus, the air carrier according to the law is obliged to take on board in the form of a hand-made belonging of up to 5 kg from one passenger. At the same time, at the request of the carrier, the norm may be enlarged "as a competitive advantage". In particular, in airlines, S7 and intend to maintain the current weight of a free hand-bag in 10 kg, reports.

Also, the amendments establish three types of tariffs for flights: non-return ticket without baggage, non-return ticket with a luggage and a return ticket with a luggage weight from 10 to 30 kilograms.

Passengers who bought a non-return ticket will be able to carry out the hand to 5 kg with a weight of up to 5 kg.

In addition to hand baggings, the passenger has the right to take a backpack to the cabin, a women's handbag or a portfolio, as well as upper clothes, a bouquet of flowers, baby food for a child, a portrave costume, a children's cradle or stroller, a cane, crutches, other "technical means For rehabilitation, "medicines and the goods that were acquired in Duty Free duty-free shops.

The norms of permissible volumes of packages with goods Duty Free will determine the air carriers themselves - such a measure is associated with security on board.

As for phones, cameras and other gadgets, they, as well as umbrellas with books, will not include as separate categories in the list of things that are transported in hand baggles, as passengers can remove them into already taken into account bags and backpacks.

After adopting amendments to the FAP, registering on the flight or sitting on a plane, the passenger can be obliged to provide his hand to the airline for weighing the airline. At the same time, on the things that are directly at the passenger, the tag "Hand-made" will not attack.

Marking of hand-made bags for passengers registered via the Internet is canceled. In this case, the control of the dimensions will be carried out by weighing immediately before planting the plane.

We are also confident that innovations will have a positive impact on the air transportation industry and passengers. In September, the Chairman of the Tourism Expert Council under the Committee of the Federation Council on Social Policy Igor stated that the new standards of free luggage provisions would be able to seriously reduce tariffs for budget flights.

"According to preliminary calculations, the exception of the standard of free baggage is allowed to make the cheapest rates cheaper than another 10-15%," said Fomin.

The head of the Union of Passengers Kirill also approved amendments to the rules of baggage transfer, RT reports. But at the same time Yankov expressed fear of abuses in the air carrier environment.

"Unfortunately, some airlines in pursuit of additional fees with passengers establish the reduced size of the allowed hand-made bag," the Yankov said.

Also, the head of the Union of Passengers believes that it is necessary to establish a minimum hand-made size based on the type of aircraft.

At the end of July 2017, Russian President signed a law that makes an optional free baggage procurement during non-refundable air tickets.

Also, the words "including things that are under passengers" were decided to replace the "manual sting" expression.

A return air ticket with the termination of the air transportation contract must contain a free luggage provision. Non-return tariff "may not provide for" free luggage.
