The S7 air carrier regulates the standards for the transportation of hand luggage, guided by the generally accepted rules for the carriage of goods in passenger liners. However, the company also applies its own restrictions. When booking an air ticket for an S7 airline flight, it is necessary to take into account the fare system that determines the parameters of baggage and carry-on baggage for each of them. Before buying, you should study the existing rules in order to properly pack your belongings.

Hand luggage restrictions and carriage rules

According to the rules for carrying hand luggage for S7, restrictions are fixed on the weight and dimensions of things taken by an air passenger into the cabin. They should also define what cannot be taken as hand luggage on S7 aircraft and what is allowed for transportation.

Similarly, baggage rules are set for each S7 fare group.

Business Flexible	15

For S7 business class fares, in addition to the increased baggage weight, it is also established that you can take two pieces of 15 kg with you on the S7 aircraft as hand luggage instead of one.

hand luggage with a superior mass is unacceptable for carrying into the cabin of an S7 aircraft. You can remove some things or transfer them to the checked-in luggage in the cargo hold so that the parameters of the bag meet the standards.

Items allowed for transportation in hand luggage in excess of the norm

In addition to a carry-on bag with the specified parameters, you can freely carry the following items into the cabin of the S7 aircraft:

• a suit placed in a suitcase and outerwear;
• bouquet of flowers;
• food for the baby for the period of air travel;

Photo and video equipment, mobile gadgets, when weighed simultaneously with the suitcase that you want to carry into the cabin of the liner, should not exceed 10 kg. This is the weight limit for hand luggage.

Important! Prams (if a child is traveling at the same time) and means of transportation for the disabled that are not included in the size limits are checked into the cargo hold and transported free of charge. If children under 11 years of age are not flying on an S7 flight, the stroller is considered an excess baggage piece.

Many are interested in whether a handbag is considered hand luggage in S7. No, it is considered an item that is allowed to be carried in addition to hand luggage. A briefcase or a backpack is carried in the same way, however, their weight in S7 for free transportation in excess of hand luggage is limited to 5 kg, and their dimensions are 75 cm.

Items that are not allowed to be transported in hand luggage

For S7 aircraft, there is a list of items that cannot be carried. It is important to know that they are not allowed to be packed both in hand luggage and in a suitcase to be sent to the cargo hold. Among them:

• explosives, including firecrackers;

When traveling with S7, can these items be taken out of hand luggage and put in checked baggage? Yes, you can transport them in the cargo hold, but there are special conditions for transporting weapons and ammunition, including the need to obtain a permit.

The rules for transporting baggage and carry-on baggage on S7 aircraft provide for the rules for carrying liquids:

Important! Carefully check the amount of liquids prepared for transportation. Surplus that does not fit into the volume allowed for hand luggage, pack in a suitcase for shipment to the cargo compartment.

Exceeding the dimensions and positions of hand luggage

It is forbidden to exceed the carry-on baggage allowance in S7. If for transportation in the cargo compartment it is allowed to purchase an additional item or pay for checked baggage at the current rates, when the size of the bag included in the allowance is exceeded, then for hand luggage these conditions lose their relevance.

There are items that are not prohibited for carriage in baggage by S7 airlines, but for various reasons it turns out that they cannot be carried in the baggage compartment. These are, for example, dimensional musical instruments. For them, you can book a seat next to you in the cabin. But first, you must call the Call Center (8 800 700-0707) to coordinate the carriage. An additional requirement is to pack the tool in a case that will allow you to securely fix it on the seat. The maximum weight of such cargo is 80 kg.

Important! With the acquisition extra bed for a musical instrument, you will not be entitled to take one more piece of hand or checked baggage.

How to transport animals

S7 Airlines provides two ways to transport pets: in the hold and in the cabin. S7 establishes the following rules for transporting animals in hand luggage:

1. Only cats, dogs or birds are allowed to be transported.
2. The weight of each animal in the cabin must be limited to 8 kg (total weight with container). The maximum dimensions of the container for a pet is 115 cm with a mandatory height of up to 20 cm, which allows it to be placed under the seat.

Guide dogs accompanied by supporting papers are transported without payment in the passenger cabin. These pets must be collared and muzzled and tied to the passenger seat at the feet. A traveler with such a dog can only sit in the tail of the liner.

Well, today our article is devoted to S7 airlines. This Siberian largest carrier has long won the love and respect of its passengers and offers them a wide route network not only in Russia, but also on international routes. From this article you can learn about the baggage allowance in S7, general information about the company, as well as information about the check-in for the flight and the purchase of tickets.

Birth of Siberia Airlines

The history of the main Siberian air carrier began quite a long time ago - in the distant fifty-seventh year of the last century. It was then that the first flight to Moscow was sent from the Novosibirsk airport. This year is considered to be the date of formation of the Tolmachevsky air squadron, which became the predecessor of the S7 airline.

This association existed for thirty-five years. In the early nineties of the twentieth century, a new enterprise was formed on its basis, called "Siberia". In the status of a state-owned company, it worked for two years, after which it fell under privatization.

From that moment on, Siberia began to develop in huge leaps. The airline quickly obtained permission for international flights, and then acquired Vnukovo Airlines, which allowed it to become one of the three largest enterprises in Russia specializing in passenger transportation.

At the beginning of the 2000s, the airline became the leader in terms of the number of domestic flights. Every year, Sibir introduced innovations, which allowed it to maintain its status. For example, it was this carrier that first discovered for the Russians such a concept as “ e-ticket". S7 is constantly updating its aircraft fleet and improving its services to passengers. Thanks to its tireless work on the level of service on board, the air carrier managed to completely phase out obsolete models of airliners, which further increased its popularity among the population.

Significant events in the history of the company

About eleven years ago, the company's management seriously thought about rebranding. This was partly due to the emergence of many new companies in the air travel market, attracting the attention of passengers. Sibir took a serious step forward and painted all of its aircraft green. Today, it is considered the corporate connotation of the company. In addition, the S7 Airlines trademark was formed, which is now known far beyond the borders of our country.

Seven years ago, the renewed company became a full member of the global aviation alliance. This had a positive impact not only on the development of the air carrier, but also on the level of service, quality of service and the definition of a priority strategy for the coming years.

Present company

Today, a lot and in detail is written about S7 Airlines, so everyone can get information about the company's management, its authorized capital, or small organizations that are part of the brand. We will not repeat ourselves and tire readers, but we cannot but notice that in last years The priorities of the air carrier have changed markedly. S7 is actively working to improve the quality of its services and suspends the pace of expanding the geography of flights and increasing the fleet of aircraft.

A few words about the air fleet

The airline makes a large number of flights. The list includes regular, charter, connecting and direct flights. S7 Airlines is distinguished by the fact that passengers will expect comfort and a decent level of service on any route. This is partly provided by new aircraft.

The average age of the company's fleet does not exceed ten and a half years, which is rare for Russian carriers. As of the current year, the air carrier owns 72 aircraft. Most of them - forty-five airliners - belong to the Airbus brand. I would also like to note that it was S7 that became the first company in Russia to purchase latest aircraft Airbus A320 Neo. Now one such model has been put on the route, and another eighteen such aircraft are expected to arrive in the near future.

In addition to these aircraft, the airline actively operates such models as Boeing and Embraer.

Flight geography

Today, S7 operates in almost ninety directions. Most of the flights are made within Russia, communication has been established with twenty-six countries of the world. It is this extensive route network that allows the company to lead the air carrier market.

Purchasing tickets

S7 tickets can be purchased in a variety of ways. Many travelers continue to go to ticket offices at airport terminals or elsewhere in the old fashioned way. There is a category of passengers who usually go to the office of the company and already there they order the coveted ticket for the flight.

However, most of our compatriots, which is confirmed by reviews of S7, have long been performing all operations for purchasing tickets via the Internet. It is most convenient to go directly to the official website of the company and already there look for a suitable option for yourself.

Interestingly, you can subscribe to S7 flights on the route you are interested in on the website. In this case, a letter with information about price changes in both directions will be immediately sent to your mailbox. This service is provided free of charge and allows you to purchase a ticket at the lowest price.

It is convenient that when choosing a route, you can immediately get the necessary information about transfers, flight features and baggage allowance in S7. Ignoring this nuance more than once spoiled the rest of inattentive passengers. Therefore, be sure to study all the data before buying a ticket.

Registration

Since much is now being done via the Internet, the possibility of online check-in for a flight has become very popular among passengers. S7 cares about its customers, so it has long opened such a service on its website. What does it give passengers? They themselves claim that a lot.

First of all, each traveler can independently choose for himself and his companions on the scheme of the aircraft cabin convenient places. Therefore, at the airport, all that remains is to check in the bags and get a boarding pass without too much fuss. By the way, you can print it yourself, because after registration it will be sent to your email address.

Please note that online check-in becomes available thirty hours before departure and closes approximately one hour before departure. Please note that the choice of seat also depends on the fare of the ticket itself. For some categories, it will be possible to choose a row and a seat in the cabin only after payment. The cost of the service in this case does not exceed three hundred rubles.

Baggage allowance in S7 by fares

Many experienced travelers consider this nuance to be one of the most important when buying a ticket. After all, it directly depends on how many bags you can check in the luggage compartment for free and take with you on board. Please note that the cost of each ticket already includes baggage allowance. However, its quantity and volume are determined by the tariffs set by the company. So what are the S7 baggage allowances? Let's figure it out together.

S7 Airlines sells tickets at four fares:

• Economy Basic.
• Economy Flexible.
• "Business Basic".
• "Business Agile".

Economy Basic tariff does not include free transportation baggage. For an additional fee, the passenger will be able to hand over one bag weighing up to twenty-three kilograms.

The Economy Flexible ticket category entitles the traveler to carry one piece of baggage free of charge if its weight is within twenty-three kilograms. In this case, the bag should not exceed two hundred and three centimeters in three dimensions. Similar conditions are provided for by Business Basic, however, the allowable baggage weight reaches thirty-two kilograms.

The "Business Flexible" tariff allows you to check in two bags, the weight of each is limited to thirty-two kilograms. The dimensions of things must match those established for other categories of tickets.

S7 airline: hand luggage

This term refers to those things that a passenger can take with him into the cabin. After all, every airliner has some weight restrictions that must be observed in order to avoid disaster.

S7 carry-on baggage allowance also depends on the category of ticket purchased. Both basic fares allow you to take on board one bag up to ten kilograms. For higher class fares, norms are set for two pieces with a total weight of up to fifteen kilograms.

Surcharge for overweight baggage

Keep in mind that S7 does not always determine the cost of luggage on its own. Sometimes this is influenced by the internal rules of the airport of departure and general rules adopted in a given country.

For example, on domestic routes, the excess will be paid depending on the fare of the ticket. Luggage costs the most on Economy Basic - one piece of luggage costs two thousand rubles. On other tariffs - one thousand rubles. On international flights, the cost of S7 baggage will be determined in euros. On average, the advantage costs from twenty-five to one hundred euros. On routes from Thailand, payment is set in baht. Tourists will have to pay from a thousand to five thousand baht.

Do not forget that it is impossible to pay the excess at once in both directions. You will have to do this at each departure airport when you check in for your S7 flight.

What is the best way to pay for excess baggage?

If you know in advance that your bags will definitely not be included in the norms specified by the airline, then you can pay for the excess at the stage of purchasing a ticket. In this case, payment is made at the official offices of the carrier, at the box office or on the company's website.

It is also not forbidden to pay the excess at the check-in desk. This can be done just before departure. Moreover, few passengers can know exactly the weight of their luggage. And at registration, they will weigh it and say whether it passes according to the standards.

More information about the cost of baggage

Keep in mind that on connecting flights, overweight will cost you twice as much. If there are three transfers, then the cost will increase three times.

In some cases, during check-in, passengers are denied the carriage of bags that exceed the established weight limits. This is due to the lack of space in the luggage compartment. However, employees of the company are not required to tell you the reason for the refusal.

Brief analysis of comments about the company's activities

It is difficult to characterize an airline and refrain from analyzing reviews. S7 boasts that most of them are positive. Passengers highly appreciate the service, professionalism of flight attendants and delicious food. Almost everyone writes that takeoff and landing are imperceptible for travelers. Often in the reviews they note new and clean aircraft, in which it is pleasant to be even during a long flight. Therefore, if you still do not know which airline to choose, then stop your search on S7. It will make your flight as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

On December 1, 2015, S7 Airlines (the legal name of the company is S7 Siberia Airlines) launched a new fare system.

As a result, the passenger can choose the required fare, guided by the presence or absence of available (required) options. In total, the following tariffs have been put into effect:

• ECONOMY BASIC;
• ECONOMY FLEX;
• BUSINESS BASIC;
• BUSINESS FLEX.

Important! There were not only tariff changes. Now the company provides the opportunity to carry hand luggage up to 10 kg (the weight of hand luggage on the plane was previously 7 kg), get 25% more miles for members of the S7 Priority program (the number of miles has been increased by S7 Airlines from 25% to 50% at the minimum fare) , purchase any fare until the flight is fully loaded.

In the Economy Basic tariff plan, the airline included a flight (1 seat) + 1 piece for hand luggage, the weight of which is 10 kg, and the dimensions must correspond to the parameters 55-40-20 cm.

Baggage at this rate is paid and is calculated from the cost of 2500 rubles for one segment: 1 piece of luggage for 23 kg of luggage (the norm for the luggage compartment is 203 cm). For international flights - calculation and payment in euros, for flights with transfers (domestic / international) - calculation also in euros. When buying an air ticket and paying for baggage online, the passenger receives a discount (according to the payment rules), and the cost of 1 piece of baggage will be equal to 1,800 rubles. It is worth paying attention to the fact that according to the rules of the company, the price of baggage transportation in case of a transfer (on the company's domestic flights) is doubled.

If the allowance is exceeded, the baggage allowance is calculated based on the following parameters.

Calculation of surcharge for excess baggage

Dimensions, parameters (the requirements for the parameters of any AK are strict)	Direct flight	Transfer flight
from 23 kg to 32 kg of luggage (with dimensions equal to 203 cm)	+2500 rubles	+5000 rubles
from 32 kg to 50 kg (with dimensions equal to 203 cm); see "Payment for the transfer of "non-standard" baggage"	+5000 rubles	+10000 rubles
when exceeding the norm of 203 cm	+2500 rubles	+5000 rubles
1 extra bed	+2500 rubles	+5000 rubles
2 extra beds	+5000	+10000 rubles

Important! If a passenger has to wait between connecting flights for more than 24 hours, then the transportation conditions are as follows: baggage is checked in to the first connecting point.

Free of charge (that is, if you already have a paid seat, in addition) you can carry baby strollers, cradles, car seats for children (as hand luggage or luggage), but only if a child is also registered on the flight. If there is no child, and the stroller is intended, for example, as a gift, then it is paid for like the rest of the luggage. The airline also allows one set of skiing or snowboarding equipment to be carried free of charge if the weight of the carried set does not exceed 32 kg. The conditions for transportation of a larger set are the same as in the case of "non-standard" cargo.

Important! Members of the S7 Priority program with Ruby status are entitled to 1 free piece of baggage (up to 23 kg) even at the Economy Basic fare.

Irregular baggage

Aircraft can also carry non-standard cargo, that is, luggage that does not meet the norm (more than 203 cm and heavier than 32 kg). Before the flight, you need to contact the company in order to clarify whether it is possible to transfer such cargo on the desired flight. If there is a possibility, then, most likely, the company will offer to buy 3 standard pieces of luggage, and the tariff plan will not be taken into account in this case. The maximum allowable weight for transportation is 50 kg. But the question of how much baggage costs on an airplane for the disabled, which naturally exceeds the weight of 50 kg, can be answered unequivocally - wheelchairs and other large-sized assistive devices can be transported at a standard rate or free of charge, if they can be placed in the cabin.

Transportation of animals

A container with an animal is considered excess cargo and must be paid for. Most often, the container is placed in the luggage compartment, taking into account its parameters (the total weight of the standing container must be more than 8 kg, the size must be more than 115 cm). If the container is smaller, it can be carried in the cabin.

Important! It is not possible to register the transportation of an animal online.

Service "Additional norm"

The company operates the service "Additional baggage allowance". In accordance with it, it is possible to carry cargo in an aircraft that exceeds the standard norm by 5-15 kg. You can use this service only once, and in some directions it does not work. When choosing an aircraft and flight, consider this point.

The regulations and standards mentioned above are internal and only apply on flights operated by the company. If we are talking about a code-share or a transfer with the participation of a partner company, then the calculation of the cost of baggage will take place in accordance with IATA standards, taking into account the "dominant" carrier. More detailed information for calculating the cost of baggage on such routes, they can be provided at the S7 Airlines contact center by phone numbers: 8 800 700-0707.
