Quite often, even experienced tourists have a question: what kind of cargo can be carried on an airplane? What weight and dimensions of luggage are allowed? How to save money on a flight, not pay for your luggage, or what to do if your backpack is lost. We will consider all these issues in detail in the article.

International transportation rules do not regulate clear baggage allowances (each carrier has the right to independently change the figures within the established rules, ticket price and aircraft type). Baggage is not always checked out individually for each passenger. There are two transportation systems:

1. Weight.
2. Local.

The suitcase must be checked in at the counter, after which it is sent to the luggage compartment

Weight system

This principle of transportation is relevant in almost all CIS countries and Asia, as well as for some carriers in the European Union. It allows you to carry a certain weight of baggage with you for free:

• in economy class, the weight of a suitcase should not exceed twenty kilograms, and its dimensions - 203 centimeters (meaning the sum of length, height and width);
• in business class, the weight allowed for transportation reaches 30 kilograms with the same bag dimensions.

If your baggage exceeds any set parameter by at least one point, then the carrier may require you to pay for the second “seat” at the domestic rate.

According to the official rules of air carriers, each child under the age of two years is guaranteed free transportation baggage weighing up to 10 kilograms. In this case, the child may not have a separate ticket (flies in the same place with his parents). Children over the age of 12 are entitled to the "adult" free shipping rate.

Such a system is quite convenient, since the number of your bags is not limited, and when traveling together, the weight is added up. If the two of you took an economy class ticket, then there is an opportunity to take with you one travel bag weighing 40 kilograms, two bags of 15 and 25 kilograms, or three bags with a total weight of up to 43 kg (do not forget about the dimensions).

Note: regular customers of airlines can receive a bonus from it and increase the weight of the transported cargo by 10-15 kilograms.

It is very important to monitor the absence of overload. The policy of different airlines can be very different in this regard. With an overweight in kilograms, two carriers alone can turn a blind eye to this, and the latter issue a full bill for excess weight (rather rather big). Therefore, be sure to ask in advance about the rules and regulations for carrying luggage on an airplane: they are usually indicated either in the itinerary receipt or on the company's website.

Luggage enters the compartment along the conveyor belt

Local system

The weight system is quite convenient, but it is slowly fading into oblivion and is being replaced by a local one. Initially, this system worked in the USA and Canada, now it has spread to South and Central America, Europe, Australia and even Russia (Aeroflot recently switched to it). Here, the transported mass is also divided depending on the class acquired:

• in the economy you can take one place with a bag weighing up to 23 kg;
• the business has two pieces of luggage weighing 32 kg each (64 kg in total).

Note: when flying to the US and Canada, carriers often provide two pieces of cargo in economy class. Check this information in advance.

If you use bonus program carriers, you can get yourself an extra seat.

One of the main features of the place system is that the weight of the bags does not add up. That is, if you are traveling together in economy class and carrying two bags weighing 25 and 15 kilograms, then you will be forced to pay for an overload of 2 kilograms (this will be considered as third place). Very often, the cost of a third place is comparable to the cost of half or a whole flight ticket, especially for low-cost airlines. The same situation is with independent travel- if you have two places of 23 kilograms each, then you will not be able to put two bags of 30 and 10 kilograms on them.

Different airlines may have different baggage rules.

Note: Trade unions in many countries prohibit movers from lifting suitcases heavier than 32 kilograms. Having loaded 33 kg, you will not only pay extra for a new place, but also face a serious problem of cargo delivery.

The requirements for a suitcase in the local system are more stringent - by the sum of the three sides, it should not be more than 158 cm.

Oversized baggage

If the cargo you are transporting does not fall within the above parameters, then you will have to register it as oversized. According to the rules for carrying baggage on an airplane, oversized baggage is considered:

1. A suitcase or bag with a weight of more than 32 kilograms and a sum of measurements of more than 203 cm.
2. Various sports equipment (skis, surf and snowboard, trekking poles, etc.).
3. Musical instruments (guitars, trombones, accordions, etc.).
4. Various climatic and household appliances (air conditioners, washing machines, freezers, refrigerators, TVs).

Transportation of any oversized cargo you need to discuss it with the airline in advance - if you arrive at the airport an hour before boarding and without warning, there is a high probability that it will simply not be accepted.

Note: the airline may refuse to transport you oversized. There can be many reasons for this - the lack of free space, the wrong type of aircraft (the cargo may simply not pass through the loading hatches).

Oversize is always paid according to the company's tariffs (it does not fall under the concept of free space). Although some companies allow free transportation of ski equipment in winter, thus luring customers.

Transportation of fragile luggage

Airline Policy Allows Fragile Baggage aircraft. To do this, at the time of delivery at the front desk, you must declare that it is fragile. An airport employee will stick a special sticker on the suitcase, and the cargo will be delivered to the luggage compartment manually, and not on the elevator. At the same time, the airline is not legally responsible for its integrity. Therefore, it is recommended to take fragile things into the cabin, making them out as hand luggage.

Properly folded luggage will quickly pass the check

Restrictions

Most airlines prohibit the following substances from being carried in the hold:

1. Radioactive (note that absolutely all cargo is tested for radioactivity, so if you buy a souvenir and it turns out to be radioactive, then you will have serious problems).
2. Explosives (including cartridges, gunpowder, sparklers, fireworks, firecrackers, etc.).
3. Highly flammable (no lighters, refill bottles, gasoline, solvents).
4. Various gases (self-defense sprays and, in some cases, deodorants).
5. Toxic, oxidizing and poisonous.

It is also forbidden to carry weapons on airplanes (unless there is a special locker in the luggage compartment) and dangerous items, which can be used to attack. When transporting weapons, special permits are required, which are issued at customs.

Rules for the carriage of hand luggage

The passenger must distinguish between what is "baggage" and "hand luggage". Baggage is a suitcase that is checked in at the airport upon boarding. Hand luggage is a backpack or bag that you can take with you. The weight of baggage and the weight of luggage on the plane per person do not add up.

There are the following rules:

• In business, luggage dimensions are no more than 115 cm (three dimensions), weight - 15 kg.
• In the economy - 115 cm, 10 kg.

Note: in most cases, you can take additional things with you: a book, a camera, a smartphone, a laptop, a tablet, outerwear, an umbrella, a folding baby carriage, baby food, medicines, etc. A complete list of these things can be found in the Rules of Transportation of this airline. These things are not summed up in the size-weight of luggage.

Try to take a little less luggage with you than the airline allows. Sometimes problems can begin due to an overweight of even 500 grams. Want to avoid trouble? We will tell you a few nuances:

• before buying tickets, study the carrier's rules regarding baggage (many low-cost airlines do not include it in the ticket price);
• having learned how many kilograms you can carry, be sure to weigh your suitcase (this can be done at the nearest post office or on home scales, taking the bag in hand);
• when reloading, put heavy things in your hand luggage or just take them on board (laptop, camera);
• things in hand luggage, according to the rules, must be in plastic bags, zipped;
• if possible, try to arrange your cargo not as luggage, but as luggage (you will save a lot of time during check-in and will not lose your things).

You can take a laptop with you - this is not hand luggage and not luggage

If the cargo is lost

So, you already know how much luggage you can carry on an airplane. Now let's explain what to do if your cargo did not arrive at its destination with you. At the airport, you must receive it on a tag or receipt - it is issued at the point of departure when passing through the counter. If there is no cargo, then you will have to write an application for its search. The airline will have to find it within 3 weeks and return it to you. If there is still no suitcase or it is damaged, then a second application for damages is written. Quite often, carriers (especially from the CIS countries) send a refusal - feel free to take it and go to court. As a result, you will be compensated for moral and material damage.

Note: the airline should deliver your cargo to the specified address, and not force you to drive for it. This is the standard rate, and you do not need to pay for it separately.

What can you take on a plane

The aircraft has a certain carrying capacity, so the baggage allowance is limited. Hand luggage allowances are also set in order to freely place things on the luggage racks or under the seat. Otherwise, things may interfere with the evacuation of passengers.

Hand luggage is checked in simultaneously with the passenger's check-in for the flight. Check-in at any airport usually starts 2-3 hours and ends 1 hour - 40 minutes before departure. You can find out for sure when check-in for your flight starts and ends at the representative office of the airline from which you purchased the ticket. To plan your trip more accurately, check out how to get to the airport of departure on.

hand luggage are things that you can take with you into the cabin. The weight limit for hand luggage is determined by the airline. The weight limit for hand luggage can vary from 5 to 10 kg. Hand luggage may not be included in the ticket fare - it may be paid.

Regardless of whether hand luggage is included in the fare or not, on flights of Russian airlines, you can take the following items into the cabin with you:

• handbag or briefcase;
• bouquet of flowers;
• outerwear;
• baby food for the child during the flight;
• suit in a suitcase;
• a baby cradle/foldable baby stroller when transporting a child (the use of a stroller is possible up to the aircraft ladder, later the stroller is handed over for transportation in the baggage and cargo compartment);
• crutches, a folding wheelchair, having dimensions that allow them to be safely placed in the aircraft cabin on a shelf above the passenger seat or under the seat of the passenger seat in front (when transporting a passenger with reduced mobility).

Pobeda Airlines allows the transportation of items from this list if their dimensions and hand luggage do not exceed 36x30x27 centimeters in total. If hand luggage exceeds the specified dimensions, it can be checked in as checked baggage for an additional fee.

The bag that you take with you to the aircraft cabin (hand luggage) should not contain knives, scissors (even manicure ones), medicines (except for vital drugs), inhalers, aerosols, cosmetics (creams, gels).

Baggage allowance

Baggage- these are the things that you hand over when you check in for a flight. They will fly in the luggage compartment. Airlines have different weight and number of pieces of luggage. Some airlines have tariffs for which baggage is not included in the ticket price and is paid separately as an additional service. These data are specified in the fare rules of the ticket. Also, when buying an air ticket on Tutu.ru, you can set a filter and choose either only tickets with allowed baggage, or without baggage.

If the baggage allowance set by the airline is exceeded, for example, baggage weighs 30 kg with a limit of 23 kg, then such baggage is considered excess baggage and you will need to pay extra for it. There are tariffs that limit luggage not only by weight, but also by space - that is, one person can carry one bag or suitcase for free. If your luggage fits within the weight allowance but is packed in two bags, you will have to pay for one more piece of luggage.

The payment rules are set by the airline, most often you can pay for baggage or hand luggage online on the airline's website or by calling its contact center, as well as at the airport.

baby on the plane

A baby on an airplane is also a passenger, so some airlines allow 10 kg of baggage to be carried with him for free. All baby cradles or car seats of any size when transporting a child under 2 years old, as well as strollers when transporting a child under the age of 11 years (inclusive) are carried free of charge in excess of the standard baggage allowance or in addition to hand luggage. A folding stroller cane is checked in as luggage.

Transportation of sports equipment

If you are flying with sports equipment (skis, snowboard, surfboard, bicycle), then you must inform the airline about this. Check the conditions for carrying sports equipment on the website of your airline. Call or write to the representatives of the airline you are going to fly. When issuing an air ticket on our website, we can request for you the service of transporting sports equipment (ski equipment, equipment for golf, surfing, diving, paragliding, bicycles).

This service must be ordered more than 72 hours before the flight departure:

• by calling us at 8-495-587-43-05 (be ready to give the booking number, order number or the phone number specified when placing the order);
• by sending an email [email protected] or a website indicating the booking number, order or phone number specified when placing the order.

It is also necessary to indicate the passenger for whom the service is required, the dimensions length*width*height and the total weight of the equipment.

The airline will need 24 hours to respond. We will definitely inform you about the confirmation or refusal of this service.

In law Order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia dated June 28, 2007 No. 82 (as amended on January 14, 2019) “On Approval of the Federal Aviation Rules “General Rules for the Air Transportation of Passengers, Baggage, Cargo and Requirements for Servicing Passengers, Consignors, Consignees”” (registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on September 27 .2007 No. 10186)
at any Russian airline You can carry up to 5 kg of items on board free of charge. There are carriers that allow you to take 10 or 15 kg.

Usually than more expensive ticket, the more things you can carry in the cabin. Usually, for flights in economy class, one piece of hand luggage is provided, and for business class - two. But here everything depends on the carrier: some companies have their own rules for each fare, direction, aircraft, while others have a single standard for everyone.

Dimensions are not prescribed in the law, so here each carrier can establish its own rules. Usually, bags of 55 × 40 × 20 cm in size or with the sum of three dimensions equal to 115 cm are allowed on board. Such a suitcase will fit in the overhead luggage rack along with the hand luggage of other passengers.

You can also take a handbag, briefcase or backpack with things in excess of the norm. It is assumed that you will place them under the seat in front of you, so the allowed weight and dimensions may be less than for hand luggage. For example, up to 3 kg and not more than 80 cm in the sum of three dimensions.

Carefully read the rules on the company's website: if the weight of free baggage in excess of the norm is not indicated there, check it on the website or by phone.

Also, instead of an additional bag, briefcase or backpack, you can take for free:

• bouquet of flowers;
• outerwear;
• baby food for the child during the flight;
• suit in a suitcase (specify weight and dimensions);
• a device for carrying a child (cradle, chair, stroller) - provided that you are flying with a child and can fit these things on a shelf or under the seat;
• medicines, special dietary needs in the amount required for the duration of the flight;
• crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, a folding wheelchair, if you can fit them in the cabin on a shelf or under the seat;
• goods from Duty Free, if they are suitable in weight and dimensions and are sealed in a sealed package (specify weight and dimensions).

Rule of thumb: what you are going to take into the cabin should fit on a shelf or under the seat. Ask the carrier in advance how much excess hand luggage they will allow you to carry.

How are hand luggage checked at the airport?

If your hand luggage looks bulky, it will be weighed at the airport and the dimensions checked using a special frame. This is a plastic container or two walls in which your suitcase should fit. In this case, everything should fit, including handles and wheels.

Carry-on bag size checker / consumerreports.org

To avoid having to pay extra for hand luggage, choose soft bags or a backpack with drawstring straps that reduce the size of an already packed travel accessory.

is a question that interests passengers of many airlines. People do not always understand what belongs to this category of baggage, what things 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. For him, his own rules and norms of transportation are established, and depending on the rules of the airline. For example, economy class passengers get one seat, while business class and 1st class passengers get twice as much.

It is believed that the equivalent of one piece is a bag or backpack containing personal items. This is wrong. The main criterion is the weight of hand luggage and its dimensions. It is from these parameters that the carrier is repelled. There are a number of restrictions on such baggage, which may vary.

General prohibitions

Before checking in for a flight, it is important to be clear about what you cannot take on a plane. Speaking in general, the category of prohibited goods 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 an airplane, and what things are prohibited in relation to food, cosmetics, medicines, digital equipment and other cargo.

Food

First, let's look at what is allowed to carry from food. As a rule, airlines restrict passengers in this matter, prohibiting the carrying of jelly-like and liquid food. 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 jelly, juices or yoghurts are found before departure, they will most likely be banned from being transported. This also applies to food that is packaged in jars. Those products that are allowed to be carried on board are recommended to be packed in transparent bags, which speeds up the inspection procedure.

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

Cosmetical tools

Women are often interested in what they can take with them. from cosmetics. As a rule, carriers are allowed to bring into the cabin:

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

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

medical supplies

Another important issue is medications. You are allowed to take the following medicines as hand luggage:

• Pills.
• Hydrogen peroxide.
• Dressing materials.
• Various drops.

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

Digital equipment

According to the rules of air carriers, you can take digital equipment on board the aircraft - a laptop, player, tablet, camera, charger and even a hairdryer. But there is a limitation regarding the mobile phone. It can be carried into the cabin, but with a mandatory shutdown. This is for safety reasons, as radiation from mobile devices can interfere with aircraft electronics.

If you plan to carry large equipment that exceeds the allowable dimensions, it is better to check it out as regular baggage.

What about documents and jewelry?

According to the rules of airlines, it is allowed to take valuables, jewelry, wallets and important documents with you in your hand luggage. It is also necessary 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 hygiene items

If we consider personal hygiene items, you can take a toothbrush and paste, a comb (without a handle), wet wipes and even nail polish remover on board the aircraft. At the same time, it is forbidden to take cutting and 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. In general, it is allowed to take almost all clothes, if it does not contradict the rules of the airline and does not exceed the allowable standards (dimensions, weight).

What are the weight and size restrictions?

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

• Dimensions. They should not exceed 56 cm in length, 46 cm in height, and 25 cm in width.
• Weight. Here the requirements are different, and various airlines restrictions can be between 3 and 15 kg.

Results

Despite a certain 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 with you into the cabin. No more than one seat is allowed per person. More established companies will have fewer restrictions. In any case, it is important to clarify these points in advance, even before buying a ticket and checking in for a flight.
