Starting February 15, 2018, Aeroflot is tightening control over carry-on baggage at Sheremetyevo Base Airport and at airports throughout the route network companies. The control will be in effect throughout the entire period of passage of pre-flight procedures by passengers.

The passenger is obliged to present at check-in all luggage, hand luggage, as well as things carried without additional payment in excess of the norms. free transportation baggage and carry-on baggage (the list of these items, as well as the baggage and carry-on baggage allowances are posted on the Aeroflot PJSC website). At the boarding gate, employees or agents of the company will check passengers' hand luggage for compliance with airline standards in terms of size, weight using special measuring devices, as well as the number of seats.

If the passenger's hand luggage does not comply with the standards established by Aeroflot PJSC in any way, the passenger must check in the hand luggage as checked baggage. If the result is exceeded free rate baggage provided for by the passenger's ticket, he is obliged to pay for such excess baggage.

Airplane baggage, dimensions and weight in 2017, new baggage rules

Luggage - these are suitcases, bags, trunks, which passengers check in at check-in, they fly in the cargo hold. We take hand luggage with us into the cabin.

Hand luggage on the plane dimensions and weight. Hyou can take it with you on the plane

5 kg - the minimum weight of hand luggage that a passenger can take with him on an airplane free of charge. Until now, the weight of hand luggage has not been prescribed at all in any laws and regulations, everything has been left to the mercy of the airlines. On the other hand, not a single Russian carrier has a norm of less than 5 kg (even Pobeda, literally ten days ago, entered 5 kg into its rules). More - as much as you want. Aeroflot, for example, has 10 kg. The order does not prevent airlines from leaving more generous rates. And, of course, 5 kg must comply with aviation safety standards (that is, liquids - in containers up to 100 ml).

Mobile phones, cameras, laptops and other gadgets, as well as umbrellas and books, were excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free ABOVE the hand luggage allowance. The argument of the Ministry of Transport: they can be put away in a handbag, briefcase or backpack. With a mobile phone - no problem, you can put it in your pocket, and it's light, it won't create an advantage. But a professional camera or a laptop, taken together, may well. You can't check in your equipment.

Aeroflot, baggage allowance by weight 2017 economy class

Passengers the largest airline The RF is often faced with such a term as extra baggage in Aeroflot, which on the official website is called excess. This category includes those types of cargo that go beyond the free baggage allowance established by the carrier. The passenger who has violated the rules must make a payment taking into account the current fares. How much does an extra piece of baggage cost at Aeroflot? What does the price depend on? How to make a payment? We will consider these and other points in detail.

Current regulations

To ensure that carrying extra baggage on Aeroflot aircraft does not come as a surprise, it is necessary to clearly understand the standards that the carrier sets for customers.

It all depends on the class of service that the passenger has chosen.:

• In the class "Business" it is allowed to check in luggage for two pieces, each of which must not exceed 32 kg in weight. For hand luggage - 1*15 kg.
• In "Comfort" and "Economy" classes(Group "Premium") the allowable rate is less. It is also allowed to occupy two places, but the maximum weight should not exceed 23 kg. For hand luggage - 1*10 kg.
• In other Economy class fares you can only take one seat, and the upper weight bar is only 23 kg. For hand luggage - 1*10 kg.

For all three cases, the norms for dimensions are identical - no more than 115 cm(for hand luggage) and 158 cm (for regular cargo). In other situations, you will have to buy a place for extra baggage on Aeroflot liners.

If the total weight of the transported cargo is not more than 10 kg, the number of seats is not limited. In this case, a mark on the number of allowable items for free cargo is placed on the receipt. The mentioned registration norms are valid from the point of departure to the city of destination or the first city of stop. In the case of cooperation with other airlines during the flight, the transportation norms may change.

How much does extra baggage cost at Aeroflot?

Knowledge of the norms of cargo transportation is mandatory for all passengers of the air carrier. Otherwise, oversized or extra-heavy baggage will be identified during the check-in period, which may result in a flight delay and inability to board the aircraft. That is why the conditions and norms for the transportation of things should be clarified in advance, even before buying a ticket and registering.

How much does extra baggage cost in Aeroflot? From November 15, 2016, new tariffs were introduced for the passengers of the air carrier. The cost of excess cargo depends on the type of "infringement", and the amount of payments is given in different currencies. Full information the price of additional baggage can be found on the official website of Aeroflot.

Basic rates:

• In the event of an increase in the number of pieces (when the norm is limited to only one item), you will have to pay 2,500 rubles for the next piece, and 7,500 for the third. When transporting from other countries, the cost of an additional piece of baggage is calculated in euros and US dollars (100 and 200, respectively).
• If according to the tariff the norm was two places, but they were not enough for the passenger to accommodate things, for the third and each subsequent position you will have to pay 7500 rubles. In US and EU currencies, this is 200 dollars (euros), respectively.
• In the event that the weight of additional baggage carried on an Aeroflot airliner exceeds 23 kg, the cost of the additional payment will be 2,500 rubles. (125 in currency). In this case, the upper limit should not be more than 32 kg. If a higher norm of 32 kg was exceeded (but not more than 50 kg), you will have to buy an additional piece of luggage for the amount of 5000 rubles. (200 USD and EUR).
• Another situation is related to the transportation of oversized cargo, the dimensions of which have gone beyond the permissible limits. If the dimensions (according to the sum of three dimensions) are more than 158 cm, but less than 203 cm, the payment for additional baggage at Aeroflot will be 5000 rubles. (125 dollars and euros).

Exceeding the dimensions of 203 cm will cost more- in the amount of 7500 rubles. (in EU and US currency - 200).

Tariff features

It is worth considering that the above rates are valid only for Aeroflot aircraft. For cases of joint operation, it is worth clarifying in advance how much an extra piece of baggage costs on an airplane, because the tariff plan of another carrier may differ. It is advisable to obtain this information in advance with the help of a contact center operator.

If the transported cargo has a mass of more than 32 kg, and its dimensions (dimensions) go beyond the allowable limits of the norm (from 203 cm or more), transportation can be carried out after resolving the issue with representatives of the airline.

Another point is how to pay for extra baggage when transporting it by Aeroflot. You can do this directly at the airport - near the counter where luggage is checked in. But it is better to do the work in advance - through the official website. If the actual weight of the cargo turned out to be more, you can pay the difference at the airport.

An airplane is, of course, not a train or a private car. Of course, you can’t load too much luggage into it. Each airline, therefore, has certain standards regarding the weight and dimensions of passengers' personal belongings. Aeroflot is no exception in this regard. Passengers who have bought tickets for a flight owned by this company can take luggage that is not too heavy and voluminous.

Basic concepts

All things carried by passengers of aircraft are usually divided into two main categories:

• actual luggage;
• hand luggage.

The last group is the portable lightweight personal belongings of the airline's customers. Their passengers have the right to take with them to the aircraft cabin. The passenger is responsible for the safety of hand luggage.

Baggage is more dimensional and heavy things that are handed over to a special compartment at check-in. Aeroflot is, of course, directly responsible for their safety. Passenger luggage must be delivered by the company safe and sound and handed over to the client immediately after arrival at the destination airport.

Hand luggage regulations

The weight of things allowed for transportation without registration depends on the cabin class the passenger is flying in. The more expensive the plane ticket costs, the more privileges are provided to the client of Aeroflot. So, business class passengers have the opportunity to take suitcases and bags with them into the cabin, the total weight of which does not exceed 15 kg. For customers of the same company who bought an economy or comfort class ticket, this figure is reduced to 10 kg. In this case, the sum of the length, width and height of the transported luggage should not exceed 115 cm.

With regard to the weight of items not subject to check-in, there may be exceptions to the rules for certain flights. It is worth checking at the box office of the Aeroflot company itself to find out for which routes other standards for the carriage of hand luggage are provided. So, for example, passengers on a Moscow-Cancun flight in both business and economy class can carry no more than 5 kg of items.

Children from 2 to 12 years old have the right to take the same amount of hand luggage into the cabin of Aeroflot aircraft as adults.

Prohibited Items

Thus, it is clear what standards are provided for in Aeroflot hand luggage by weight and dimensions. Of course, far from all things can be transported on a company plane without registration. For example, Aeroflot forbids passengers to take too much into the cabin with them:

• water;
• cosmetics;
• different kinds of aerosols;
• soups.

All products listed above must be placed in special packages. In this case, the volume of each such agent should not exceed 100 ml. If such products are packed in containers with a capacity of less than 100 ml, they should be placed in a special 1 liter plastic bag with a zipper.

In some cases, Aeroflot, whose baggage allowance is strictly rationed, may make exceptions to these rules. For example, baby food or medicines that are vital for a passenger can be transported in the cabin and in quantities greater than 100 ml.

In the EU countries, among other things, it is not allowed to import meat and dairy products. Aeroflot passengers should also keep this in mind.

What things are not weighed

Aeroflot passengers can take some items with them to the cabin “by default”. That is, such things are not weighed and are not standardized in any way. Such items include, for example:

• crutches;
• mobile phone, laptop, camera or photo camera;
• package from Duty Free;
• umbrellas, canes and briefcases;
• newspapers and magazines.

Of course, passengers' outerwear is not weighed in the winter season either.

Aeroflot baggage allowance: free transportation

The company transports oversized and heavy items of passengers, as well as hand luggage, free of charge. But, of course, only if their weight does not exceed the established standards. Luggage is checked into a special compartment of the aircraft, as already mentioned, at check-in at the airport. Its weight is also normalized depending on which class the passenger is flying.

For example, 23 kg for one piece and 46 kg for two - there is a baggage allowance of 1PC. Aeroflot transports heavier items only for an additional fee. 1RS is the usual economy class. For business class passengers, these figures increase to 32 and 64 kg, respectively.

An additional fee for the transportation of items by Aeroflot is charged not only if their weight exceeds the standard. The company also has a price list for the number of pieces of luggage. Also, three dimensions of suitcases or bags for economy class should not exceed 158 cm, for business class - 203 cm.

Aeroflot: excess baggage allowance

Payment for the transportation of "extra" things in this company is quite large. How much exactly the client will have to pay in addition in this or that case, you can see in the table below.

Of course, even for an additional fee, it is allowed to transport not too heavy and voluminous cargo on Aeroflot aircraft. Baggage, the weight of which exceeds 32 kg per piece, and the dimensions - 203 kg, will not be accepted from the passenger.

If the company's client's belongings are too bulky, he will most likely have to pay 2,500 rubles for the second piece of luggage, and 7,500 rubles for all subsequent ones. ($50 and $150 respectively).

Aeroflot shares

Some groups of passengers of the company can carry excess baggage for a lower cost or even free of charge. For example, additional seats are provided for members of the Aeroflot-Bonus program and those customers of the carrier who fly to Israel, the USA, China or Japan.

In some cases, Aeroflot may also make discounts for the transportation of certain categories of items. The luggage of skiers and snowboarders (equipment), for example, from November 1, 2016 to May 5, 2017, flights of this carrier are accepted free of charge. Also, until March 25, Aeroflot passengers may not give extra money for diving and surfing accessories.

Liability of the company in case of damage to the client's belongings

Aeroflot's baggage allowance is thus precisely defined. However, of course, not only passengers are subject to certain requirements regarding the transportation of things. Aeroflot itself assumes certain obligations in this regard.

Specially hired loaders are responsible for loading, storing and unloading passengers' belongings from this carrier. Of course, the management of the company demands from these employees the most responsible attitude to business. But in some cases, passengers' luggage during loading / unloading can, of course, be damaged. In this case, Aeroflot undertakes:

• send the passenger's belongings for repair at their own expense;
• if repair is not possible, refund the full cost of the damaged baggage to the customer.

In order to avoid any problems when receiving compensation, the passenger must always keep the baggage tag with him until the receipt and check of the safety of things.

Loss of luggage

Of course, from time to time, passengers of the company have such a nuisance. In case of loss of baggage, the client of the company should immediately contact the tracing service at the airport. Here you will need to fill out a special form of loss and get a case number. Next, the company's employees will actually start tracking the movement of lost items using the World Tracer program. The latter, by the way, is available for ordinary people. Passengers can track their baggage on the official website of Aeroflot, in the "Wanted" section.

Passengers' opinion about the service

Most passengers believe that the company's baggage allowance is too strict. Aeroflot (economy and business class cabins in this company are quite expensive), according to many customers, could slightly increase the weight and dimensions of things accepted for free. In this regard, about the company, unfortunately, there are mostly only not too many good feedback.

In addition, as can be judged from the reviews, Aeroflot employees usually do not give their customers any discounts even at the slightest excess in weight or size of suitcases. This, according to many passengers, is not observed in almost any other carrier. Some customers even have to simply throw things out of their bags in case of exceeding the norms, since their cost is much less than the amount of the surcharge for additional seats. So when collecting luggage at home, Aeroflot passengers should be as careful as possible.

Also, this company deserved not particularly good customer reviews for the overly complicated baggage check-in procedure. In order to do this, passengers often have to stand in queues for many hours.

Aeroflot does not lose things of its customers very often. However, this still happens sometimes. There are also negative reviews from those passengers from whose suitcases personal items or souvenirs were pulled out.

For 2019, Aeroflot has left the maximum standards for the size, weight of hand luggage and baggage checked in for carriage on an aircraft unchanged. Known to seasoned travelers, restrictions on the number of seats, maximum weight and dimensions remain relevant. All baggage and carry-on baggage allowances vary by travel class and are subject to an additional charge.

Aeroflot traditionally classifies as carry-on baggage all things that are carried by passengers, can be safely placed in the cabin and meet the established requirements. Responsibility for their condition and the harm caused by them rests entirely with the client. During the check-in process, hand luggage is weighed and checked for compliance with dimensions.

Number of seats

For things of this category, no more than one seat is allocated on the airliners of the company, regardless of class. In other words, one passenger is allowed to take one bag into the cabin. If the flight is performed by a family, the number of seats corresponds to the number of its members for whom individual seats are booked, regardless of age.

Limit dimensions

As a general rule, the size of hand luggage should allow it to be placed under the seat in front or on the top shelf. In Aeroflot, the maximum allowable dimensions for length, width and height are 55x40x25, respectively. The sum of three measurements is 120 centimeters for any tariff.

Permissible weight

The weight of hand luggage for transportation on an Aeroflot aircraft is set depending on the class. For customers flying at the Business fare, the allowable weight per seat does not exceed 15 kilograms. Economy class and Comfort provide the opportunity to take on a plane no more than 10 kilograms per seat.

Personal items

Aeroflot, like other carriers, allows its customers to take some things into the cabin without taking into account the above restrictions. They are included in the number of personal and are not taken into account when weighing. The list includes:

• briefcases and women's handbags;
• Cell phones;
• portable computers, video and photographic equipment;
• business papers in a folder;
• books, newspapers and magazines;
• shopping bag from duty free.

This list is much longer, a more detailed list can be found on the website of the air carrier.

non-standard things

In the list of goods allowed for free transportation in the cabin, there are items that do not fit the weight norm. These are special wheelchairs for the disabled and baby strollers that are used by the client. They will need to be handed over to the flight attendant at the entrance to the cabin. If the wheelchair has an electric drive and weighs more than 32 kilos, prior approval is required, no later than 36 hours before departure (scheduled time is taken into account). Mandatory approval will be required for the transportation of all musical instruments, regardless of their size. Of the animals, only a guide dog is allowed to fly in the cabin free of charge, if there are appropriate documents (certificate and veterinary certificate). Flight in the cabin with other animals is allowed only in a special container, the weight of which, together with the animal, is not more than 8 kilograms.

Other restrictions

In addition to the things listed for this category, there are restrictions on the volume of liquids and compositions equated to it. This applies to drinking water, alcoholic beverages, cosmetics. The total volume of such substances cannot exceed a liter, all liquids must be poured into containers no larger than 100 ml. Not allowed for carriage in the aircraft cabin:

• all types of weapons and ammunition, items imitating them;
• hazardous chemicals (toxic, flammable, explosive);
• objects capable of inflicting cut wounds;
• things and devices containing magnets or magnetized components.

Some of these items can only be carried in baggage, others are completely prohibited for air transport. You can check the list and details of restrictions on the website or contact the contact center staff.

Baggage requirements

Aeroflot's luggage category includes items that exceed the weight and size characteristics of hand luggage and are transported in the luggage compartment on the aircraft. Items in this category are registered according to the piece system, taking into account the above parameters. Dimensions and weight, number of seats are differentiated in accordance with the rules for using a certain fare.

Number of seats and size restrictions

For Business, Comfort and Economy Premium fares, two seats per ticket are provided. According to the rules of the economy fare group, this parameter is limited to one seat. If the total weight of checked items is less than 10 kilograms, the number of pieces for free baggage is not limited. On the ticket, their number is usually indicated under the abbreviation PC (Piece Plan) with the corresponding number. Permissible dimensions in all cases should not be more than 158 centimeters in the sum of three dimensions (W * H * D).

Weight restrictions

The allowable baggage weight on the plane varies depending on the fare. The limit for the Business group is 32 kilograms. For other groups, including Comfort, weight restrictions are more stringent. In this case, you can carry no more than 23 kilograms per person. For minors, the same rules apply for adults. These requirements may vary depending on the flight, so before the flight it is advisable to clarify how much weight you can take with you through the contact center of the carrier.

Exceeding the norm

All cases of excess items are registered as excess baggage. The calculation is performed for each parameter, if the excess is allowed for all requirements, the cost of transportation will be determined based on the total amount. Additional payment required:

• for the second, third and each subsequent place, 2.5 and 7.5 thousand, respectively;
• for exceeding the allowable weight depending on the class of service, 2.5 if the excess is from 23 to 32 kilos and 5 when the weight goes beyond 32, but does not exceed 50;
• for exceeded sizes from 158 to 203 centimeters, 5 thousand are charged, more than 203–7.5.

The amounts are fixed, on domestic flights they are charged in rubles, on international flights in foreign currency. In the latter case, payment is made in ruble equivalent at the current exchange rate of the Central Bank.

Non-standard cargo

Special transportation rules apply to heavy and/or oversized cargo. This category consists of objects weighing from 32 to 50 kilos, with dimensions not exceeding 203 centimeters in terms of the sum of length, width and height. Sports equipment is considered as one piece of baggage allowed for free transportation:

• a set of skis with sticks and boots in a case;
• covered snowboard with a pair of boots;
• a pair of clubs in a case with packed equipment;
• bicycle prepared for transportation;
• covered golf equipment;
• a pair of rods with a set of tackle in the appropriate packaging.

In addition to sports equipment, the list of non-standard baggage includes weapons with ammunition, various types of musical instruments, and animals. The category of non-standard may include containers common for travelers, for example, if the weight and size characteristics of a suitcase go beyond the permissible limits, it is considered oversized. The rules for transporting this category of cargo must be clarified with employees or on the airline's website.
