Greetings to all those who have looked.

I'm starting my long story about S7 airlines, get in a comfortable position and get ready for a long journey.

Over the past few years, I have periodically made flights by plane to different cities in Russia with different airlines. Siberia Airlines flew many times and each time the flight turned out to be interesting.

Siberia Airlines has been on the air transportation market for a long time.

Year of foundation S7 Airlines: 1957.

The company's fleet has more than 70 aircraft, most often Airbus, less often Boeing. The airline performs both domestic and international flights. S7 is based at 2 airports: Tolmachevo (Novosibirsk) and Domodedovo (Moscow).

The planes of this airline are easy to recognize, they are green. The planes are clean and tidy. I didn't see broken chairs.

The airline staff is quite polite and smiling. Despite multiple flights, I did not observe conflict situations on board the vessel. All flights were soft and smooth, without rumble and shaking.

Buying and Refunding Tickets

You can buy tickets both at the ticket office and on the Internet. Refunding a ticket depends on the fare you chose when purchasing (either impossible or with a loss of money).

Application S7

By installing this application on your smartphone, you can control your bonus account, buy and book a ticket, check in for a flight, watch the departure board, etc.

check-in

You can check in for a flight on the airline's website 30 hours before departure, in the S7 app or at the airport.

When buying a ticket with a cheap fare, a free seat selection on the plane is not possible. EXCEPTION: passengers with children. Children under 12 are given certain seats in the cabin, so already when buying a ticket, you will be assigned a seat.

Carriage of luggage

There are a couple of nuances in carrying luggage with this airline. The baggage allowance for 1 adult passenger is 23 kg + hand luggage 7 kg. A few years ago, my wife and I flew from Novosibirsk with one suitcase, which weighed a little more than 23 kg. The airline employee at the check-in desk offered 2 options for transportation: put the excess in the second bag (for each passenger according to the luggage) or pay for the excess. Previously, we didn’t have such problems with other airlines, one baggage was taken into account for two passengers and we didn’t have to pay for overweight. We were not ready for such a turn of events, we did not have a spare bag in our pockets and we were forced to pay for the excess. Now at home, before flying with the S7, the weight of the luggage is checked to the gram.

Transportation of a baby stroller

This service is provided by the airline free of charge, even if you split the stroller into 2 blocks. When checking in your baggage, you can check in the stroller right away and walk around the airport with your baby in your arms, or you can check it in as baggage at the airstairs. It is possible to get a stroller both at the gangway and together with the main luggage. Our stroller, weighing 13 kg, was divided into 2 blocks before the flights and was always transported free of charge. At check-in, the stroller is weighed and checked in as oversized baggage at a separate check-in desk.

Meals on board

I have a couple of complaints about food to the airline. Once, after dinner on board a ship, I got badly poisoned. The second case occurred not so long ago, for breakfast, chicken and potatoes were offered, in which there was quite a lot of ginger. Ginger is such a product, the presence of which in food should be warned in advance.

The food portions are good, the dishes are hearty. Even on short-haul flights, a light sandwich lunch was provided (although another airline on the same route had no snacks at all and only drinks were served).

Tea and coffee relatively good quality. Always offered lemon and milk for drinks. From soft drinks: drinking water with and without gas, 3 types of juice, sometimes Pepsi and similar sodas. The number of soft drinks is not limited, you can order both water and juice at the same time. After the main meal, the staff re-offers hot drinks.

For a fee, you can pre-order individual meals, baby food.

The airline uses good quality disposable tableware, so you won't get poorly washed mugs.

Flying with a child

A child under 2 years old is transported free of charge without providing an extra seat. The cradle is not provided, the child spends the entire flight in the arms of the parent. A seat for the child is assigned automatically, as this seat must be equipped with an additional oxygen mask. Relies on a child under 2 years old free transportation baggage up to 10 kg + free carriage of a stroller.

On the plane, the child is fastened with an additional seat belt to the parent's belt.

The airline makes gifts for children. On one flight we were presented with a bib and wet wipes, and on the second flight we did not get a gift. The neighbors were presented with a bag containing pencils and a notebook with assignments.

Young children travel best when they are breastfed.

Ways to save money with S7

1. Participate in the loyalty program. This program is beneficial for frequent flyers. For flights, bonus miles are awarded, which can later be exchanged for a ticket, but in this case you still have to pay for the fees. The number of miles can be increased during online check-in for a flight (for online registration accrued 50 bonus miles), using a joint bank card (S7-Tinkoff, Alfa-Bank, Promsvyazbank, Bank of Moscow), using the services of partner companies (hotels, car rental, insurance, online stores, etc.).

In more detail, I would like to dwell on the accrual of bonus miles when shopping in online stores. The list of online stores is quite wide, among them: Lamoda, Aliexpress, Daughters and sons, M video, iHerb, Sportmaster, Obbi, etc. In order to receive bonus miles, you need to go to the S7 airline website --> to the S7 Priority section --> program partners --> online stores --> to the desired store to make a purchase.

You can also transfer the missing miles to your friend, family member. The minimum transfer is 500 miles. The cost of translation is 375 rubles.

From time to time, the airline has Special offers for accrual of additional miles on certain destinations.

3. Probably each of us paid attention to how much food costs at the airport. I have always been interested in the question - where does the airport staff eat, which receives an average salary. At Domodedovo Airport, on the territory of the parking lot, there is the S7 building, which houses a canteen for employees with free entrance for other visitors.

Dining room address: Domodedovo building 6/1.

The dining room is clean, comfortable, there are many visitors in it, there is enough space for everyone. For 150 rubles, in 2018, I bought a full meal, consisting of chicken soup with noodles, rice with chicken cutlet and compote. The portions are big, the food is delicious. The dining room has a fairly large assortment of dishes, cash and cashless payments are possible.

Canteen opening hours:

From 6.00 to 23.00.

Breaks: 10.45-11.15, 16.00-17.00

Menu pricing example:

Buckwheat 150 grams - 35 rubles

Chicken cutlet 100 grams - 75 rubles

Bread - 3 rubles per 1 piece

Morse 200 ml - 25 rubles

This is where the journey ends. Thank you for stopping by.

Today, the citizens of Russia call the airlines " S7 Group» a reliable carrier that deserves trust. Dozens of people use the flights of this company every day. In order to prepare for the flight, it is advisable for the passenger to clarify the baggage rules and hand luggage in airplane " S7". Such actions will help determine the number and contents of the bags. In addition, this way people will be able to avoid trouble before boarding.

The company was originally called Siberia and was based in Novosibirsk. Today, this group has expanded significantly and acquired a base in the capital's Vnukovo. Airlines offer customers transportation across the country, travel to Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Passengers are offered comfortable modern Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Dozens of people all over the country use the services of S7 airline every day, respectively, this requires knowledge of the rules of airlines

The airline is flexible pricing policy in relation to clients. Promotions are constantly held here, there is a program for accumulating bonus miles and several tariff plans for flights have been introduced. Moreover, passengers have the right to repay part of the cost for the flight from personal bonus savings.

Regarding the customer convenience policy, the airline offers people to fly by providing free places for hand luggage and luggage. Moreover, a person transports things from the first category on board the liner, and items falling into the second group are transported in a special cargo compartment.

Airline rules state that the luggage of the client is transported on board the passenger's route. Only in extreme cases is it allowed to be transported by another aircraft, which flies on the next flight in the right direction. S7» determine the decision of the company to approve the transportation of things or refuse the passenger. The same list includes the contents of the suitcases and the conformity of the packaging of individual items. In addition, customers who have not passed registration are unlikely to be able to fly in the right direction. The rule also works for transit flights - people who are late are removed from the flight along with their luggage.

About tariff plans

The ability of the client to transport baggage without additional payment directly depends on the class of ticket purchased. Today, the airline is working with the Smart Choice system. Thus, passengers choose their own tickets - they are non-refundable or provide for paid baggage on the plane, the price of which varies in accordance with the specific conditions of the flight.

Today, S7 offers passengers four fare packages that regulate baggage and carry-on baggage rationing.

The least convenient, but the most budgetary, is the “basic” economy class fare. Here the passenger gets non-refundable air tickets and pays for the transportation of luggage with the choice of a seat on board. True, the cost of such flights is the most democratic and affordable. A "flexible" ticket of the same class of service provides for free luggage space and the client's ability to determine a suitable seat on board within the current fare. Here the client will be able to return tickets if he changes his mind about flying.

Similar fare plans work for business class passengers. True, the “basic” ticket here already assumes a place in the luggage compartment and the passenger determines the preferred seat. However, the air ticket here remains non-refundable, that is, when changing plans, the person will not return the money spent for the failed flight.

The most expensive is the "flexible" fare for business class. Here the passenger has the right to return the ticket, returning almost the full cost. Of course, in these situations, the airlines offer transportation of luggage and the choice of a seat at no additional cost. However, regardless of the ticket purchased, the airline offers customers to familiarize themselves with the question of what can be carried in hand luggage on the plane. S7". The new rules also regulate the transportation of luggage. Let's clarify these nuances in more detail.

Rationing of free transportation of things

When purchasing tickets of the "flexible" economy class tariff plan and above, the passenger receives one seat in the luggage compartment. Moreover, the rules of airlines regulate different indicators of the mass of luggage for customers. People who fly in economy class have the right to present suitcases with a total weight of up to 23 kilograms at check-in. Business class passengers flying at the "basic" fare are entitled to take a seat for baggage weighing up to 32 kg and the sum of the sides up to 203 centimeters. But people who bought the most expensive air tickets count on two free seats of 32 kilograms each.

Passengers flying in economy class on a "flexible" fare count on one free seat in the luggage compartment with a luggage weight of up to 23 kg and dimensions of up to 2 m 3 cm

In addition, airlines practice a differentiated approach. Regular customers of the airline, who present silver and gold cards, have the right to count on an additional free seat, regardless of the flight class. Here, the maximum weight of luggage fits into the framework of 23 kg. Platinum card holders have a discount in the form of a similar privilege, but the luggage weight is increased to 32 kilograms. Moreover, the rules for summing up luggage standards for group transportation work additionally. Here, customers present airline tickets and passports to employees to confirm the status of the flight.

We carry property in the cabin of the liner

A separate section of airline requirements regulates the procedure for transporting oversized items in the aircraft cabin. S7". Hand luggage is differentiated into two main categories. Economy class passengers carry with them bags, whose total dimensions do not exceed 1 meter 15 centimeters, weighing up to 10 kilograms. For this category of citizens, one free seat is provided.

Passengers whose hand luggage in the total amount of sides does not exceed 1,150 mm are allowed on S7 airlines.

Customers who prefer comfort and purchase business class tickets receive some advantages compared to other passengers. The first privilege is an increase in the number of seats, there are two of them. In addition, the nominal weight of luggage in such cases is increased to 15 kilograms. True, the dimensions of the bags here remain within the limits of 55x40x20 or a total indicator of 1,150 mm.

However, these are not complete requirements for airline customers. Taking into account security measures, today all carriers of the world exclude the transportation of sharp objects, weapons, medical supplies and accessories in hand luggage without vital necessity. Knives, knitting needles, nail files, corkscrews are prohibited for transportation in the cabin. Keep this in mind when packing your bags on the road.

In addition to the listed categories, the list of items prohibited for transportation on the liner includes poisonous, radioactive and explosive substances. Such items cannot be transported even in the luggage compartment. In addition, there is a list of items whose transportation in the cabin is subject to restrictions. Here it is important to pay attention to the rules for the transport of liquids and jelly-like products.

The nuances of transporting things in the cabin

Now we will discuss some details regarding the carriage of hand luggage. Airline regulations require these items to be transported either inside a special hanging shelf that is located above the seats, or under the seat. It is for these reasons that the client presents all luggage for weighing and measurement before departure, and also goes through security control. All items at the airport are measured, weighed and marked. Moreover, personal belongings that the passenger takes into the cabin in addition to the main luggage are not subject to such a procedure.

Hand luggage is placed on a special shelf in the cabin or hidden under the passenger seat

Among the list of items that the company allows you to take with you on the plane are handbags, men's diplomats, suits in suitcases, folders for papers. Umbrellas, outerwear, telephones, cameras, camcorders, laptops, baby food and the latest press will not have to be registered. In addition, it will be possible to carry baby carriers, car seats, strollers and cradles free of charge. The list also includes equipment for the movement of people with disabilities.

True, items that relate to children's equipment and things that provide movement for sedentary people will have to be weighed and measured. Moreover, the free transportation of such equipment works only if it is necessary to use it on board.

In other words, the transportation of a stroller without a baby or a wheelchair by a third party will require an additional amount for excess baggage. As for the rules that govern the dimensions of such items, airlines here allow transportation of baby carriages as hand luggage. Moreover, the dimensions of such equipment fit into the size of 55x40x20. There are no such standards for disabled equipment. Now consider how much luggage costs on an airplane. S7", if the passenger exceeds the norms set by the company.

Principles of pricing for "extra" baggage

Considering that some airline tariffs do not provide the client with a free seat in the luggage compartment, we will clarify the cost of carrying luggage. There are three assessment systems: overpayment for the number of seats, assessment of dimensions or payment of excess weight. The price of the first "extra" place in the compartment with a luggage weight of up to 23 kg and dimensions that fit into the indicator up to 2,030 mm is 50 €. If you need to take another seat, with similar parameters, its cost increases to 150 euros.

Exceeding the company's standard for weight, dimensions or number of seats will require an additional payment of 50 - 150 euros

Now let's discuss the grading system for overweight things. Exceeding the weight in the range of 23-32 kilograms, customers pay in the amount of 50 euros. Weight over 32 kg is paid in the amount of already 100 conventional units. In both situations, the dimensions of the cargo do not exceed the specified bar of 203 cm. If the total size of the sides of the luggage is above this level, the passenger will pay 150 €.

We note an important detail. Today, not all airlines accept loads over 32 kg, because this weight is recognized as the maximum allowable for carrying things by movers. Therefore, the transportation of baggage, the weight of which is 32-50 kg, needs to be notified in advance by the airlines.

It is appropriate for people to study the rules for transporting things in advance. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the requirements of the airlines at the stage of booking a seat, because individual nuances play an important role and often cause the airline to refuse to transport specific items. The provided link will help to study in detail the details and requirements regarding the transportation of the passenger's belongings.

By weight, dimensions and number of things. They are introduced for a comfortable and safe flight of cabin passengers. Each company puts forward its own requirements.

When carrying cargo in the cabin or in the luggage compartment three parameters are taken into account:

• quantity: one piece corresponds to one bag or box;
• size: for the luggage compartment - 203 cm (the sum of the length, width, height, norm), for hand luggage - 55 x 40 x 20 cm.

Usually at the check-in desks there are special stands on which the dimensions are checked.

Cost and different rates

Carriage fees are charged unequally, and depends on the fare plan on flights.

What does paid cargo mean? Starting December 1, 2015, the airline introduced a fee for weight up to 23 kg per segment in the amount of 2000 rubles. according to the tariff plan "Economy Basic".

For other passengers, it is allowed to carry it free of charge if it meets the following requirements:

Carry-on baggage is taken free of charge based on the following restrictions:

How much does it cost to carry cargo on an airplane? Air carrier offers free transportation strollers, cradles, car seats of all sizes, regardless of whether they are in hand luggage (collapsible stroller cradle) or in luggage.

But the offer is valid only if a child under the age of two is transported at the same time.

In the absence of a child (for example, if a stroller is being taken as a gift), children's vehicles transported as normal cargo.

Passengers inquire about baggage claim online. The company warns that this is done only at the airport, at the counters - ordinary or for receiving goods.

You should also pay attention to additional information about payment:

How "non-standard" is transported

There is a concept of oversized and heavy baggage. Then the dimensions exceed the total 203 cm, and the weight is over 32 kilograms. In such cases, a decision of an individual company is necessary.

Rejection may occur if there is not enough space in the cargo compartment or the type of aircraft does not allow such cargo to be transported.

If you have to take such luggage or you need to reserve three standard seats, before the flight, send a corresponding request to the company through its website or call the help desk to make sure there are free seats.

"Additional Norm"

Additional payment for the cost of baggage s7 is carried out when buying a ticket through the website, at the airport, at the c7 Airlines Contact Center, and after purchasing a travel document - at the company's ticket offices or at the Contact Center.

As part of the "Additional Baggage Allowance" service, it is allowed to carry 5-15 kilograms in excess of the norm. The company allows you to use this service once.

In some cases, the passenger may be refunded for baggage s7 if he canceled the flight or the flight was cancelled.

Transportation of animals

Often you need to take animals in containers on the road. Free shipping offers do not apply to them.

Containers with pets are charged as excess baggage, regardless of how much baggage the passenger has.

Usually containers with animals are placed in the luggage compartment if the total weight exceeds 8 kg and the total dimensions do not exceed 115 cm.

All clearance procedures take place at the airport, it's impossible to do it online..

What else is taken into account?

To avoid misunderstandings, you should pay attention to the points that may affect the cost of baggage transportation.

The rules are valid for the entire route if the flight is carried out on S7 Airlines flights.

How to pay for luggage in s7? Payment for luggage on the plane is valid one way unless otherwise provided by the contract.

If the passenger used the code-share service or transfer, which also involves partner companies, then free baggage transportation is carried out by the International Air Transport Association IATA.

Then the uniform norm of the "dominant" carrier is applied. The information is specified in the contact center of S7 Airlines.

The amount of cargo that a passenger wishes to take with him on board an aircraft is referred to in the air service as hand luggage S7 Airlines. By default, carry-on baggage on an airplane is assumed to be a compact bag, personal purse and similar items. To avoid disputes, each carrier publishes a list of items of baggage allowed for air transportation, indicating the overall dimensions. There is a basic standard, but the final allowance for aircraft varies, as each airline is free to determine its own carry-on baggage allowance. The dimensions and weight of hand luggage S7 have been developed and updated for 2020. Every traveler who has bought a ticket for S7 should familiarize himself with the information in order to avoid problems and disappointments due to the non-admission of luggage.

S7 standards for the carriage of hand luggage

In the full version, baggage allowances, as well as baggage, are declared on the official website of the airline at the address. Here are the most relevant paragraphs of free air travel:

For one air ticket it is allowed to take one bag weighing up to 10 kg with three lengths of 0.55 x 0.4 x 0.2 in meters.

It is important to consider here that it is impossible to divide the luggage of hand cargo into 2 pieces. Even if the passenger packs 2 small pieces, one of them will have to be checked into the luggage compartment.

Limits depending on the fare class

Dimensions and weight of hand luggage C7:

• level tickets Basic Economy» are allowed to carry hand luggage in the cabin according to the rule described above. This is 1 bag weighing 10kg with measurements 0.55 x 0.4 x 0.2m;
• "Flexible Economy" tariffs provide for norms similar to "Basic Economy": 1 piece = 10 kg, 0.2 x 0.4 x 0.55 m;
• the next class is "Basic Business". Here it is allowed to carry 15 kg of baggage in the cabin with the dimensions specified in the "Economy Basic" and "Flexible". It is possible to divide the cargo into 2 places;
• the last tariff is "Flexible Business". The rules for the size of hand cargo in this class are the same as in the "Basic Business" and for weight, and for dividing places up to two units, and for dimensions.

The size of hand luggage in S7 airliners is designed for the convenience of all people flying on a flight. For transportation of luggage in the cabin there are shelves with cells where the place should be laid. The cells of the aircraft are long - each is designed for the needs of tourists of half a row. Therefore, if the norms of three dimensions are not met, then people will not be able to fit their luggage, or rather, someone will not have enough space. Consequently, the degree of nervousness on board will increase, and no air carrier wants to allow this.

List of things allowed to be carried in hand luggage

Bags that tourists take with them on the plane are subject to mandatory screening, so they must contain only permitted items. Otherwise, either a person will not be allowed on board, or the traveler will have to part with part of the hand luggage, leaving it to the escort or simply throwing it away.

It is allowed to take luggage on the plane with you:

• mobile devices - phone with laptop, tablet. Other equipment - a camera and a video camera;
• things - outerwear, a personal bag or briefcase, as well as an umbrella or a cane;
• citizens with disabilities can plan crutches, a special chair for the disabled. However, you need to contact the administration and agree on the dimensions of these items - they must be folded and fit either on a shelf or under the seat;
• travelers with children can take a folding stroller, food for a small passenger, a cradle or a car seat as a hand seat.

The last allowance for hand luggage is relevant when a child flies with an adult, who needs additional things. As with people with disabilities, bulky items should be folded to a compact size and fit either under a seat or on an airplane shelf. The airport staff has the right to weigh any item of hand luggage and check for correct dimensions.

What can not be carried as baggage in the cabin

Explosive mixtures and items related to weapons. Radioactive mixtures and compositions, substances with toxic and poisonous properties. Liquids considered to be oxidizing or corrosive. Transportation of liquids in baggage is limited to 1 liter in total per ticket. Each composition must be packed in a separate container up to 0.1 liters, or 100 ml. The rule applies to perfumes and creams, toothpaste and similar things. Transportation of animals allowed for transportation on the S7 airliner in the cabin is possible for pets of small sizes. Animals are allowed on board in special cages. Pets do not belong to the concept of hand luggage and are subject to payment at the rates of excess cargo.

It is important to know that you must arrive at the airport terminal with an animal no later than 3 hours before departure. Then go through the veterinary control procedure. In order for everything to work out without complications, you need to study the rules for transporting animals in advance and take care of collecting veterinary documents.

The cost of baggage carried into the cabin

When hand luggage meets the airline's standards in terms of size and weight, it is transported free of charge according to the baggage allowance. As for the excess or excess baggage dimensions, you can’t just take it and pay extra, and then take the seats with you to the cabin. Otherwise, an imbalance of either justice or security will result. If we assume that someone was allowed to pay extra and take a bulky item with them, and then another passenger was given a size tolerance, then the third person will not be able to exercise their right to free transportation. There will be no room for his luggage.

If you allow things weighing 15-20 kilograms or more to be transported, then problems may arise when lifting your hands to a height of 2 meters. And also if, due to inaccuracy, such a place falls from the top shelf of the aircraft, it can cause significant harm to the health of any of the tourists. Transportation of oversized and weighted pieces of hand luggage under the seat is prohibited by the rules of air transportation. Therefore, it is enough to pack the excess and hand it over to the luggage compartment. To be sure, upon arriving at the airport terminal, you need to go to the special equipment with limiters and assess your hand baggage for compliance with standards.

1. Irina :
   

   Hello. I realized that you can bring 1 bag 55/40/23 and weighing 10 kg into the salon. and a lady's bag. Or how? Thank you.

You must pay for the flight of the animal, the cost depends on the weight and size of the animal, as well as the flight.
