Aircraft carry-on baggage. New rules and regulations for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage on the plane

Today, air travel is the most convenient and fastest way to travel. However, even those who fly not for the first time often face a number of specific questions. Some of the most common ones are related to the carriage of baggage - how many kg of baggage can be carried on the plane for free, what is the allowable rate, and how many kilograms can be taken on the plane per person.

Before boarding the plane, any passenger will have to go through the baggage weighing procedure. Only some of the things that a person takes with him to the cabin of the plane are not taken into account - a handbag, a telephone, a laptop, crutches, a wheelchair and a cane. Each company has its own established rules, and if the baggage weighs more than a certain norm, then the passenger will have to pay according to the tariffs.

How much is one person allowed to carry for free?

Most airlines accept the following transportation fares free luggage:

• Economy class passengers can carry up to 20 kg;
• Business class passengers up to 30 kg;
• When buying a first class ticket, you are allowed to carry up to 40 kg.

This is usually calculated from the total weight of the baggage and hand luggage... But some companies do not include carry-on baggage when counting, so you should check the rules with your carrier. It is worth remembering that these are average values, the rate is set by a specific company.

You should also take into account the length of the carried baggage. For Economy Class passengers, baggage must not exceed 158 cm, and for First and Business Class no more than 203 cm.

In addition to weight control in airlines, there is also an assessment of baggage by the number of seats. Also important condition is the choice of the class when buying a ticket, since the more expensive and higher the class, the more loyal the conditions for the carriage of things.

To successfully transport your own belongings, you should consider some rules:

1. Baggage weight cannot be summed up. Let's say two people are flying and carrying luggage in the amount of two bags, the norm should not exceed 32 kg, one bag weighs 35 kg, and the other 30, for the first bag you will have to pay extra at the rate of 3 extra kilograms.
2. Wheels, pockets and other accessories of the bag itself must be taken into account when determining the weight, and not just what is in it.
3. Transportation of non-standard luggage must be agreed with the airline, some things are allowed to be carried for a fee, some for free. For example, skis or bicycles are usually calculated as one piece, excluding weight and length.

In 2018, the baggage rules and the size of hand luggage on Aeroflot aircraft have changed slightly. To avoid being caught off guard, this new instruction manual is well worth studying.

Aeroflot in 2018: new baggage transportation rules

Carry-on baggage is measured by airport employees according to different criteria separately for each person who wants to get on board. Now the dimensions allowed for personal use on board the bags have been increased by 5 cm (55x40x25 cm). It is strictly forbidden to take photo or video equipment, portable PCs or even an umbrella into the aircraft cabin, but no one prohibits transporting small musical equipment.

Since February 15, 2018, Aeroflot has begun to carefully check the size of carry-on baggage carried on the plane. If the bag does not comply with the permitted standards of the measuring calibrator, it is prohibited to take it.

yandex_ad_1 According to the current rules, the check is carried out at check-in, during the document check and at the entrance / exit, however, the rules may differ at different airports.

Airport workers explain their decision by the fact that users of their company's services complain that their belongings simply do not have enough space in the aircraft cabin. Until February 15, passengers were unhappy with the fact that some suitcases and photo bags, which fit into the airline's regulations, could not be placed in the measuring frame.

These items will now need to be placed in the baggage compartment. Due to pressure from consumers of the airline's services on the Aeroflot administration, the size carry-on luggage are now 55x40x25 cm (+ 5 cm).

The standards for the transportation and size of hand luggage, approved in February this year, met with both supporters and opponents among passengers. On the one hand, users of Aeroflot's services are happy with the topic that now there is no need to tamp their small hand luggage among other people's disproportionate bags. On the other hand, some passengers were unhappy with the new procedure for transporting personal belongings on the plane.

Since 02/26/2018, the size of carry-on luggage has been increased to 55x40x25 cm, i.e. by 5 cm.Many medium-sized suitcases now fit into these dimensions.

According to the current instructions, photo / video equipment, netbooks, paper literature and some other items are excluded from the list of those things that can be transported during the flight with you.

However, items that can be included in carry-on baggage include the following:

any bag not heavier than 5 kg;

One unopened food bag purchased from duty-free;

small bouquet;

cereals, mixtures and yoghurts for small children, the amount that is sufficient for the child during the flight;

jackets, fur coats, sweatshirts and any other outerwear;

a stroller or cot for a child, which is not heavier than 7 kg;

medicines that are necessary to maintain the normal functioning of the health and life of the passenger during the flight, in this case they will ask for a corresponding health certificate;

any devices for passengers with special needs and disabilities (crutches, walking sticks, etc.).

yandex_ad_2 Musicians will be pleased with the following news: now their instruments are considered hand luggage if they do not exceed the standard dimensions. By the way, this does not apply to guitars, because they can be transported even if they do not fit into these dimensions. However, the transportation of musical equipment must be coordinated with the dispatcher 2 days before departure.

Below we will consider the list and dimensions of carry-on baggage that can be carried on the plane in 2018. We will find out what new rules have been established by Aeroflot.

What is considered carry-on baggage according to Aeroflot's 2018 standards

According to Aeroflot's internal regulations, passengers are allowed to have the following items with them in the aircraft cabin:

any suitcase or briefcase (up to 5 kg and up to 80 cm in size);

a closed bag with duty-free food, a sealed suit, a jacket, a mobile stroller for children or disabled people, a bouquet of flowers and medicines to maintain the normal functioning of the health and life of passengers, in which case it is necessary to present a health certificate.

Employees check passengers' belongings using a measuring calibrator, into which carry-on baggage must be determined. If handles, wheels or something else peep out of this measuring frame, then this bag will be asked to be transported in the luggage compartment.

include_poll1409

Verification is carried out at check-in, during the identification of passengers and before boarding the flight.

Carriage of a bag weighing less than 5 kg is not paid. You can put unlimited amounts of baby food in this bag (of course, if you have the child himself), food products, including alcohol, from duty-free, portoplets with clothes or bedding, a baby or wheelchair, medicines (there must be a typewritten document , confirming the need for these drugs for the passenger).

Conditions for the carriage of amateur photo / video equipment, netbooks and other devices as carry-on baggage

In October 2017, the administration of Aeroflot was forced to reduce the list of items that passengers have the right to carry with them on board for free, in addition to hand luggage. This decision was made in accordance with the regulations in the amendments to the FAP.

Now, photo and video equipment, netbooks and all other devices, with the exception of those that fit in your pocket, fall under these amendments. All other gadgets must be packed or carried as luggage.

Liquids are allowed, but there are certain rules. Containers with mixtures should not exceed 100 ml. In addition, this vessel will need to be placed in a sealed bag or a 20x20 cm package. One passenger - one such package, the only exception is baby food, which can be in unlimited volumes (a prerequisite is the presence of a child). Even in spite of such scrupulous conditions, the package will still be checked during a formal inspection at the reception.

This rule also includes jam, sun cream, personal hygiene products, cosmetics, food, etc. The above should be contained in a container of no more than 100 ml.

Will they be allowed to take on board the plane foodstuffs

When it comes to solid food, for example, sandwiches, vegetables, fruits, bakery or confectionery products, then it is allowed to bring them on board, but with liquid food the issue is different. It is subject to the rule on the transport of liquids, that is, liquid food products must be transported in containers of no more than 100 ml. For example, soups, yoghurts, milk, etc. Containers with them will need to be sealed in transparent bags, which will be carefully inspected before boarding the flight.

Nevertheless, this rule does not apply to meals for the smallest passengers, it can be carried so much that the child will have enough for the entire flight.

The volume of carry-on luggage, which is allowed for children under two years of age. Young passengers in 2018 who fly in the arms of their parents are not allowed to have carry-on luggage on an Aeroflot plane. For children from 2 to 12 years old, who occupy a separate seat on board, standard norms and sizes are provided, as for adult passengers.

Also, personal transport (gyro scooters, segway, etc.) cannot be taken in hand luggage. They will be required to be checked in baggage.

For most passengers, both for beginners and for those who have made a single flight in their lives, the topic of cabin baggage remains relevant to this day. The rules for airlines may change every year, so you should always pay attention to the rules and regulations for the carriage of hand luggage on the plane.

So what is carry-on baggage on an airplane? These are things that travelers take with them to the cabin without checking into the luggage compartment. The ticket type assumes a limit on the number of pieces of hand luggage per passenger... Economy class is supposed to have one seat for cabin luggage, business class and first class - two seats.

If we talk about carry-on luggage, this does not mean that you can only take a purse with you. Actually both two and three bags are allowed, but so that they are not larger than a certain size and weight. More stringent rules for the carriage of things on board an airliner are established by low-cost air carriers.

Important! If you would like to know the weight of your luggage, you can weigh and check the size at the airport.

What is allowed to be carried on board

Let's figure out what you can take with you on the plane? Carry-on baggage has a certain weight limit, so if you have a lot of bags, to the cabin you need to take only valuable and necessary for the flight... For example, money, credit cards, gadgets, laptops, fragile items and jewelry.

As for the rest, you can take what is allowed by the rules established by the air carrier.

You can always find all information about the transportation of things on the airline's website. As for the safety standards, they apply to everyone.

Cabin baggage allowances from Aeroflot

1. Hand luggage on the plane - dimensions and weight Aeroflot has set the dimensions of bags for cabin transportation - up to 115 cm (55 x 40 x 20), the sum of 3 dimensions.
2. Business class includes hand luggage up to 15 kg.
3. Comfort and economy classes - up to 10 kg.

Concerning medical supplies, they are allowed to be taken on board only if the passenger has a medical certificate proving the need to take these drugs in the airliner.

Parents with children under 2 years old can carry only the amount of food that is needed during the flight. These provisions apply to air carriers and airports in the Russian Federation.

Rules for the carriage of fruits on board an aircraft

If you are flying domestically, you can carry fruits and airlines do not have a ban on their transportation.

The main thing is that everything is in the normal weight. That is, as in the luggage compartment, and in the cabin with you, you can fill with apples and pears, for example, at least to the top, if only it did not exceed 20 and 10 kg, respectively. If you are carrying grapes, they will leak in the luggage compartment and spoil the luggage of other travelers.

It is better to transport such fruits in tight containers.

Fruit on international flights

There are other laws here due to customs legislation. First of all, you need to read the rules for the import and export of fruits of those countries that you will be visiting.

Often, no one had any difficulties with export, but with regard to import, not everything is so smooth here. Since plants, fruits, vegetables - they belong to the regulated goods, and their import is carefully monitored by the sanitary services.

If you import fruit from other countries to the territory of Russia, then remember that one person has up to 5 kg of agricultural products.

The only thing is that it is forbidden to import fruits into the territory of the Russian Federation from the countries of the European Union, Australia, Turkey, Canada, the USA, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Norway, Georgia, Azerbaijan.

If imported smuggled fruit into the country, they will be removed and imposed fine for 500 rubles... The confiscation is carried out only for regulated products. Repeated violation involves a fine in 1000 rubles.

Features of transporting fruit in the cabin

There are also restrictions on fruits for transportation on board.

Fruit can often be carried in hand luggage on board and carried. But you can carry in as much as you need to eat during the flight.

If you are carrying a trunk with exotic fruits, then it will be taken away from you, if a couple of kilograms, then they will not be paid attention to.

If you are flying from Thailand, it is forbidden to transport durian due to its specific smell.

The lack of factory packaging can also be a refusal for transportation, but this can be turned a blind eye if the fruit is in small quantities.

In general, it is allowed to transport fruits in the cabin of an airliner, but within reasonable limits.

How much space is allocated for cabin luggage

Here we will take a closer look at the norms for transporting hand luggage in the cabin of the liner, dimensions, weight, and what cannot be considered hand luggage.

As previously stated, Economy class presupposes one place for carrying things in the cabin, a business and first class - 2... Ladies' handbag and briefcase are not included in the luggage carried in the cabin, as well as clothes in a bag, suit, dress, laptop, umbrella.

Still, they have strict restrictions on the carriage of baggage in the cabin, that is, 1 person - 1 piece of cabin baggage. This does not include strollers, outerwear. Duty Free packages are permitted.

Weight and dimensions of baggage and carry-on baggage must be considered

Hand luggage - dimensions and weight

Cabin baggage weight and size may vary based on airline rules, ticket class and distance.

They relate to standards - the sum of 3 measurements is not more than 115 cm (55 × 40 × 20 cm). Carry-on baggage - 5-10 kg... You can always weigh your luggage at the check-in counter, and the excess from the cabin bag can be transferred to your luggage.

If you are flying with cabin luggage only, it is not possible to transfer things into the luggage compartment. Therefore, it is better to weigh your luggage at home on scales or specially designed ones.

Low-cost carriers inspect a suitcase in a specific frame, which must fit with wheels and a handle. For example, Wizzair assumes the weight of cabin luggage is 10 kg, and its size is no more than 42x32x25cm.
