- a question that interests passengers of many airlines. People do not always understand what belongs to this category of luggage, what items can be taken into the cabin, and what is better to leave at home or check in with regular cargo.

What is the essence?

First, let's look at what is considered hand luggage on an airplane. This is a special type of baggage that is allowed to be taken into the cabin of an airliner. It has its own rules and regulations for transportation, depending on the rules of the airline. For example, economy class passengers receive one seat, and business class and 1st class passengers receive twice as many.

It is believed that the equivalent of one place is a bag or backpack containing personal belongings. This is wrong. The main criterion is weight hand luggage and its dimensions. It is these parameters that the carrier is based on. Such baggage is subject to a number of restrictions, which may vary.

General prohibitions

Before checking in for a flight, it is important to be clear about what you cannot take on the plane. Generally speaking, the category of prohibited cargo includes weapons, liquefied gases, as well as dangerous substances (radioactive, toxic, caustic). The category of prohibited items also includes explosives, liquefied gases, sharp objects, including household appliances such as wire cutters, a corkscrew, scissors, a folding knife and others.

Below we will consider in detail what you can take in hand luggage on a plane, and what items are prohibited in relation to food, cosmetics, medicines, digital equipment and other cargo.

Food

First, let's look at what you are allowed to carry. from food. As a rule, airlines restrict passengers in this matter by prohibiting the carriage of jelly-like and liquid foods. But you can take with you:

• Nuts.
• Fruits.
• Sandwiches.
• Cookie.
• Chips and other products.

If you are flying with a child, you are allowed to take baby food. If jellies, juices or yoghurts are found before departure, they will most likely be prohibited from being carried. This also applies to food that is packaged in cans. Those products that are allowed to be brought on board are recommended to be packed in transparent bags, which speeds up the inspection procedure.

Before departure, pay attention to the carrier's requirements, as they may vary. Pay special attention to goods from DutyFree stores. They are allowed to be taken on the plane, but only if they are packaged in a bag and have a receipt in hand.

Cosmetical tools

Women often ask what they can take with them. from cosmetics. As a rule, carriers allow you to bring into the cabin:

• Blush.
• Eyeliner.
• Shadows.
• Powder and other means.

As for jelly-like compositions, as well as liquids that are packaged in containers larger than 0.1 liters, it is prohibited to take them with you. The only option is to transfer your items to checked luggage. In addition, it is not permitted to bring pressurized cans into the cabin. In this case, the total volume of liquids carried should not exceed 1000 ml. This nuance should be taken into account before departure.

Medical supplies

An equally important issue is medications. The following medications are allowed as hand luggage:

• Pills.
• Hydrogen peroxide.
• Materials for dressing.
• Various drops.

All products should be sealed and carried with instructions for use. Otherwise, customs officers may have questions for the passenger, up to and including the need to conduct a detailed inspection. If there is an injury, hand luggage can be supplemented with special means for movement, for example, crutches. Regarding the upper limit of liquids, the same rules apply here as mentioned above.

Digital equipment

According to airline rules, you can take digital equipment on board the plane - a laptop, player, tablet, camera, charger and even a hairdryer. But there is a limitation regarding mobile phones. It can be brought into the cabin, but must be turned off. This is due to safety concerns, as radiation from mobile devices can interfere with the operation of aircraft electronics.

If you plan to carry large equipment with you that exceeds the permissible dimensions, it is better to check it as regular luggage.

What to do with documents and jewelry?

According to airline rules, you are allowed to take valuables, jewelry, wallets and important documents with you in hand luggage. You also need to take your passport with you so as not to accidentally end up in a foreign country without documents. There are situations when luggage does not fit on one plane and then it can be sent on the next flight.

Clothing and personal care items

When it comes to personal hygiene items, you can bring a toothbrush and toothpaste, a comb (without a handle), wet wipes and even nail polish remover on board the plane. At the same time, it is prohibited to take cutting or piercing things into the salon. This rule also applies to nail scissors.

From clothes you can take with you a coat, a jacket (sweater), an umbrella, a blanket and a shawl. Generally speaking, it is allowed to take almost all clothing if it does not contradict the airline’s rules and does not exceed the permissible standards (dimensions, weight).

What are the weight and size restrictions?

Separate question - How much hand luggage can you take on a plane?. Here, each airline has its own rules, which depend on the destination, ticket price, flight class and other factors. There are only two main criteria, namely size and weight:

• Dimensions. They should not exceed 56 cm in length, 46 cm in height, and 25 cm in width.
• Weight. Requirements vary here and different airlines may have limits ranging between 3 and 15 kg.

Results

Despite some similarity in the requirements of air carriers regarding hand luggage, some rules are strictly individual. For example, low-cost airlines that provide budget flights are stricter about hand luggage and allow you to take a minimum of things into the cabin. There is a maximum of one seat per person. More established companies will have fewer restrictions. In any case, it is important to clarify these points in advance, even before purchasing a ticket and checking in for the flight.

If you are going on a trip, study in advance the nuances that determine the carriage of baggage on an airplane. They determine the standards on all Russian airlines, except Pobeda. For foreign companies, the rules determined by the legislation of the relevant country continue to apply. What do you need to know so that you can save yourself from unpleasant surprises?

Generally accepted standards and rules: what baggage can be transported as cargo

First, understand the terminology to avoid confusion:

• Carry-on luggage It is customary to name the things you take on a plane. They can be placed on a special shelf or under the seat in front (if the items do not differ in size). During check-in, carriers have the right to require hand luggage to be weighed. If you go through the procedure online, then marking is not required. In this case, weighing is done before the boarding gate.
• Personal items- items that are allowed to be taken on the plane without preliminary weighing and marking (folder, cane, book).
• Baggage- these are bags, suitcases, backpacks and other things checked into the cargo compartment. It is issued for each passenger separately. When checking in, you place your bags on a conveyor where they are weighed. If the norm is not exceeded, the baggage is marked with a barcode sticker and sent to the cargo compartment. You are given a delivery coupon, and if you lose your suitcase or bag, the document will help you defend your rights.

According to the new baggage rules on planes , The weight norm for 1 place is reduced from 32 kg to 30. It can be lower, but not higher. But this does not mean that the indicator is the same for everyone: it is influenced by the tariff at which the ticket was purchased.

New rules: how to transport luggage and hand luggage

If you have not traveled since the introduction of the new rules, you may be surprised: after all, baggage-free tickets It's not the first day they've been on sale. But even the budget Pobeda provided the opportunity to transport up to 10 kg in the cargo compartment. In 2018, the norm specified in the Air Code was canceled. What needs to be taken into account now?

Baggage requirements 10-30 kg

To avoid troubles, check the new rules on the carrier’s website. He has the right to set the weight depending on the ticket fare. If the upper limit is 23 kg, then if you are overweight you will need to pay extra or take out some of your items.

Don't forget to check the baggage rules on the plane.

According to the rules, baggage weight of 30 kg is allowed for business class passengers: it has advantages over economy class. In the latter, the upper limit of normal is 23 kg.

Baggage requirements over 30 kg

If the norm is exceeded 30 kg The cargo falls under the heavy weight criterion. The calculation is made according to the company's tariffs. You have to pay extra for every kilogram.

There are also restrictions on dimensions, and these include:

• skis and other sports items that take up a lot of space;
• musical instruments(double bass, cello);
• Large home appliances.

To transport such cargo, contact airline representatives in advance and find out the new rules. The support service will select an option for transporting oversized luggage, but if there is not enough space in the cargo compartment, they have the right to refuse you. You should arrive at the airport early: check-in will take longer.

In winter, some airlines allow you to carry skis and other equipment without additional charges.

Baggage-free tickets

Important changes to the rules regarding the carriage of baggage on an airplane affected baggage-free tickets. After all, airlines have received the right not to include the cost in the price of the travel document, which will allow the passenger to save money. For example, previously on a Pobeda flight you could check a suitcase weighing up to 10 kg into the cargo hold. But now the airline has the ability to charge for everything except a handbag or briefcase. The advantage for travelers is the low cost: those who want to save money will find great deals by leaving extra things at home.

46% of passengers agree to do without even carry-on luggage in order to save on flights.

Similar rules apply to the category non-refundable tickets. When purchasing them, check whether you have chosen the “luggage-free” option or whether the price includes freight transportation. If the ticket is refundable, the price automatically includes transportation of 10 kg of luggage.

Is it possible to combine luggage on a plane: read the rules

After a protest from the Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor's Office, Aeroflot changed the rules for transporting baggage.

If passengers travel together for the same purpose of travel, to the same airport of destination or stopover, then, at the request of the passengers, it is allowed to apply to the baggage of these passengers the sum of the standards (including weight and size standards) for the free carriage of checked baggage for each of the passengers.
One piece of baggage should not exceed 32 kg in weight and/or the sum of three dimensions 203 cm, the total number of pieces of combined baggage should not exceed the sum of the free baggage allowance.

Now, when traveling with family or friends, you will receive possibility to combine cargo, rather than distributing things among several bags or paying extra for overweight. In this case they should take 1st place. Airplane baggage rules require that you place your items in one shared bag. But the total weight should not exceed 30 kg, or you will have to pay extra.

Rules for transporting fragile items

Do you have to take fragile items on a trip? Glass products, electronic devices and equipment, and decorative items should not be delivered as regular cargo. To prevent boxes or bags from being thrown around when loading onto an airplane, check your luggage as “fragile.” He will not be placed on a conveyor, but will be taken to the department. Alas, you will not receive guarantees for the integrity of the items.

If the dimensions of the items do not exceed the permissible dimensions, take them to the salon. In this case, it is important that you do not transport liquids in glass jars: the jam will have to be checked into the cargo area.

Excess weight of luggage and what to do with it

When you buy travel document, then its category determines the permissible limits for the weight of cargo. If the indicator exceeds the established norm, the mass is considered above the norm. For example, an economy class passenger can take luggage up to 23 kg. The amount of the surcharge should be clarified in advance, and some companies allow a slight excess.

Hand luggage and new rules for its transportation

When packing your luggage on the plane, ask how many kilograms per person are allowed. Since the fall of 2017, the following restrictions have come into force for airlines:

The maximum weight of hand luggage that can be carried free of charge must be no more than 5 kg.

In this case, the carrier has the right to change the indicator, increasing the norm to 6, 7 or 10 kg: this will attract the client. There are also restrictions on dimensions, because the height of the item should not exceed 0.56 m, width - 0.45 m, and thickness - 0.25 m. Please check the acceptable parameters on the website of the selected carrier.

What can you not check in as carry-on luggage?

Under the new rules, hand luggage may be weighed and tagged at check-in or before boarding. But you are allowed to take extra things.

Previously, the list was wider, but the Ministry of Transport decided that some things can be put in a bag. These include a laptop, umbrella, books and mobile phone.

Placed your laptop in a bag or backpack? You won't have to pay. Didn't complete the task? Pay extra.

What luggage to take into the cabin: what can you keep in your hand luggage with you

When determining what to take into the cabin, remember: the main cargo may be lost. In time they will find him, but It’s safer to keep the necessary things with you. Bring documents, fragile items, expensive gadgets, medicines, and hygiene products to the salon.

What else can you take? According to the rules, the following is allowed:

What you are not allowed to take into the cabin: transportation rules

• You will have to do without household chemicals, especially flammable aerosols.
• When it comes to shaving accessories, choose disposable products with closed cutting surfaces or safety razors.

The question is often asked whether it is possible to bring a thermometer into the salon. The answer depends on the type of device: you put the electronic one in your hand luggage or in a suitcase that you check in the cargo hold. A thermometer with mercury is carried in a protective case in the amount of 1 piece (check the Rules for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage on the carrier’s website). But you will have to check it in as luggage.

Items prohibited in hand luggage

Airline rules: what you need to know about carrying luggage on an airplane

According to the new rules, airlines have the right to weigh luggage before boarding passengers. How are changes implemented in practice?

Aeroflot: unpleasant surprises

Aeroflot passengers have to think not only about what they can carry on the plane in their luggage. Since February 2018, complaints began to appear that the company was measuring baggage dimensions near boarding gates. Representatives of the carrier provided an explanation: according to them, the measure was taken due to the fact that customers are unhappy with the lack of space in the cabins.

Now the “sum of 3 dimensions” rule does not work: if previously the total value of the indicators should not exceed 115, then according to the new regulations the dimensions are limited to 55x40x20 cm. Even if the height of the suitcase is 35 cm, this does not mean that the width can exceed 20 cm. Under Even small bags do not fit the criteria.

New rules for Aeroflot

The new rules are stricter than most low-cost airlines with their strict standards. But Aeroflot has also changed the list of things that can be taken into the cabin without registration. Baby food, a cane, and a camera disappeared from the standard list. The number of duty-free packages is also specified: it must be the only one.

Is a guitar a permitted item? The company announced that musical instruments must have a maximum height of 135 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions. If the guitar does not meet the criteria of the rules, contact the company representatives 36 hours before departure and agree on the issue.

FAQ

Some restrictions come as a surprise to passengers. To avoid such situations, please read the answers to frequently asked questions.

Is it possible to carry liquids on an airplane?

Since 2006 the company prohibited the transportation of bulk containers with liquids. The restriction is due to the fact that terrorists have repeatedly tried to smuggle parts of explosive devices disguised as harmless bottles on board international planes.

The following are considered liquids:

• cosmetic and perfumery products (perfumes, gels, etc.);
• products (jam, drinks, syrups, etc.).

How much liquid can you carry on an airplane?

How much liquid can be carried in airplane luggage?

The maximum volume of the container containing liquid is 100 ml. If you try to take a 200 ml bottle, arguing that there is only 50 ml of water in it, you will not be able to bring it on board.

Conclusion

New airline rules provide an opportunity to save money. Go on a trip with a minimum of things, and you won’t have to pay extra for luggage transportation. The main thing is that you clarify the tariffs and norms in advance!

How much luggage can you take on a plane? Is it possible to carry alcohol, perfume, aerosols, medicines, cigarettes in luggage? What about food? Let's consider these questions in detail.

There are no international rules for baggage transportation; each air carrier regulates this issue independently. The airline can choose to transport baggage by piece or by weight.

Allowable baggage weight per person on an airplane

The weighing system allows you to transport free of charge:

• in economy class no more than 20 kilograms of luggage with its total linear size of 203 centimeters;
• in business class, with the same dimensions, you are allowed to take 30 kilograms with you.

If your baggage does not meet the established standards in at least one parameter, the air carrier has the right to demand additional payment. Under this system, children under ten years of age have the right to transport ten kilograms of things, and from the age of twelve they are already entitled to the adult norm for transporting cargo.

The weight system is convenient because when traveling together, the weight of all things is summed up, and the number of bags is not counted.

The place system is replacing the weigh system, despite its obvious convenience. Aeroflot recently switched to it. Here the transportation rules are as follows:

• economy class allows you to occupy only one piece of luggage with a bag not heavier than 23 kilograms;
• in business class the conditions are softer: two pieces of luggage weighing no more than 32 kilograms each.

The main difference between the baggage system is that the weight of the baggage is not cumulative. For example, on a flight for two in economy class, passengers carry two items weighing 15 and 25 kilograms. The extra two kilos will be counted as a third piece of baggage and will be paid in full. When planning your luggage before traveling, keep in mind that such overload is paid at a high rate, comparable to the price of a ticket. Therefore, you should carefully calculate the weight of things.

The requirements for the maximum allowable size of baggage in the local system are even stricter: the total linear size of the item is no more than 158 centimeters.

Rules for transporting food, alcohol and cigarettes on an airplane

Alcohol is not on the list of goods prohibited from being carried on an airplane, but there are still certain rules for it. Thus, each adult passenger has the right to carry one liter of alcoholic beverages in hand luggage, regardless of their strength. The entire quantity is divided into several containers of no more than 100 milliliters each. All bottles are packaged in a plastic bag with a zipper. It is prohibited to use them on board: the packaging must not be broken until the end of the flight. Breaking the rules can cause trouble.

Carrying alcohol in luggage is regulated by the following rules:

• liquids no stronger than 24% are carried without restrictions, but within the general weight restrictions;
• alcohol with a strength of 24 to 70%, no more than five liters per passenger;
• Alcohol over 70% alcohol is prohibited for transportation.

Alcoholic drinks purchased before the flight in duty-free stores are allowed to be transported in hand luggage, but in an intact package with a saved receipt. In low-cost airline companies, you will most likely have to pay for transporting a package of alcohol from a duty-free store.

IN different countries The rules for transporting strong drinks can vary greatly, so before an international flight, inquire about this issue separately.

The same recommendations apply to the question of the rules for transporting cigarettes. However, each country sets its own standards, which you should follow before flying. For example, when flying within the Russian Federation, only one cigarette pack (10 packs of 20 cigarettes), up to 250 grams of tobacco or no more than 50 cigars can be carried in hand luggage. In this case, the passenger must be 18 years old. Other countries have different age restrictions. For example, in Egypt, a 15-year-old passenger can easily carry tobacco products with him, but only those who are already 20 years old can fly to Japan with cigarettes.

As for medicines, it is allowed to carry drugs in solid form (capsules, powders, tablets) in hand luggage. Liquid medications, as well as ointments, creams and gels, must be in original containers of up to 100 ml, and then packaged in a bag (necessarily transparent) measuring 20x20 centimeters.

When transporting prescription drugs or drugs containing psychotropic/narcotic substances, you will need to present a doctor's prescription, and for an international flight you will also need to declare such drugs. An exception is made for passengers with insulin-dependent diabetes: insulin bottles, syringes and glucometers are allowed to be carried in hand luggage.

By the way, for international flights there is a list of drugs prohibited for transportation, and you should familiarize yourself with it before departure. For example, when flying to the USA, you will not be able to take the Corvalol, which is familiar in Russia, on board.

On domestic flights, you can take solid food into the cabin if it fits in your hand luggage and does not exceed the weight. On international lines follow the rules of the countries you are traveling to. They usually prohibit the transportation of eggs, fish, meat and dairy products. The ban is due to the fact that these products are perishable and can cause an infectious disease and even an epidemic.

The transportation of liquid products is regulated separately. These include, in addition to water and juices, canned food, jam, jelly, honey, sour cream, cottage cheese, and sauces.

Most air carriers regulate the carriage of liquids and limit them to one liter per passenger, poured into hermetically sealed bottles with a capacity of no more than one hundred milliliters. All other liquids, including cosmetics, deodorants, colognes, perfumes, mosquito sprays and shampoos, are checked in as baggage under the new rules.

What is prohibited from being carried on a plane in luggage in 2020?

There are dangerous items that are prohibited from being carried both in hand luggage and in the luggage compartment. These include:

• weapons: cold steel, firearms, gas, stun guns;
• explosives: dynamite, cartridges, pyrotechnics;
• gases: liquefied, compressed in cylinders, aerosols;
• flammable liquids: petroleum products, acetone, solvents;
• solid flammable substances: matches, metal potassium, calcium, sodium;
• poisonous and toxic: nicotine, arsenic, mercury;
• caustic and causing rapid corrosion: salts, acids, lime.

This list also includes magnetized and radioactive substances.

The list of prohibited substances and items under the new rules is extensive. If you are planning to bring an unusual item on the plane, read this list in advance or consult with an airline representative. Compliance with these simple rules guarantees the safety of all passengers and the absence of problems during baggage inspection.

What to do if prohibited items are found in your luggage or baggage

Passengers often carry “prohibited” goods, not doing so intentionally, but simply without thoroughly knowing the flight rules. If airport security staff found prohibited items in your hand luggage or checked baggage, but you don’t want to lose them, the situation should be resolved in the following ways.

1. If prohibited items are found before check-in: give them to mourners, put them in a storage room, or send them by mail (there is a branch at every airport) to the right place.
2. If prohibited items are found after the check-in procedure, the airline staff will offer a couple of options to resolve the misunderstanding: complete confiscation of the “prohibited” items or temporary seizure with the opportunity to pick up the items after return. Make sure that a document is drawn up for items that are valuable to you, but are prohibited from being carried, according to which you can get them back.

In any case, try to prove to the security service that this item is dear to you - there is always a chance that the Security Service officers will meet you halfway.

All baggage carried by the passenger, including hand luggage, as well as items carried in excess of the established free baggage allowance and without charging a fee, must be presented at check-in for the flight, which is due to flight safety requirements.

The passenger's baggage, which the airline accepts for transportation under its responsibility for its safety, is marked with a baggage tag and is transported in the baggage compartment of the aircraft, is called checked baggage.

Dear passengers, please note that the free baggage and hand luggage allowances depend on the class of service. If hand luggage exceeds the established standards in terms of number of pieces (for flights numbered SU 6001-6999), weight or the sum of three dimensions, the passenger must check in hand luggage as checked baggage.

If, as a result, the free baggage allowance indicated on the ticket is exceeded, an additional payment must be made in accordance with the excess baggage rates.

At the boarding gate, passengers' carry-on luggage is additionally checked for compliance with size and weight standards using special measuring instruments, as well as for the number of seats (for flights numbered SU 6001-6999).

To make the flight as comfortable as possible for you and other passengers, we recommend taking light and compact hand luggage and carrying only the most necessary items. This is especially true during the winter season when many people travel with winter coats and a lot of luggage.

To place things in the passenger compartment, there is a luggage rack and a special place under the seat in front. On board the aircraft, please follow the instructions of the crew regarding placing large hand luggage (close in size to the maximum baggage allowance) on the overhead bins, and smaller pieces of hand luggage under the seat in front. Please note that the use of underseat space in row seats emergency exits during takeoff and landing of the aircraft is not permitted.

In order to comply with security requirements, hand luggage that does not exceed the baggage allowance established by the carrier, if it is not possible to place it in the passenger cabin, may be transferred by airline personnel to the luggage compartment for transportation as baggage without charging an additional fee.
