Aircraft baggage rules

- each passenger has the right to carry baggage free of charge within the established norm, which may vary depending on the rules of a particular carrier and on the type of aircraft. Baggage is checked out for each passenger individually.

Carriage allowance paid baggage - 1 place. In business class, the weight of luggage must not exceed 32 kilograms, and the dimensions in the sum of three dimensions must not exceed 158 cm. economy class- no more than 23 kilograms, the sum of three measurements - 158 cm.

Rules for the carriage of baggage in excess of the established norm, the passenger is charged an additional fee at the carrier's tariff.

• For children under 2 years old (without providing a separate seat), the free checked baggage allowance is 1 piece weighing no more than 10 kilograms (the sum of 3 dimensions - no more than 115 cm), regardless of which class you are flying.
• For children from 2 to 12 years old - the free baggage allowance is the same as for an adult passenger.

There are a few basic principles to follow:

• Budget airlines offer to select and pay for the desired free baggage allowance at the time of ticket purchase. The price of a standard ticket includes only hand luggage.
• The standard free baggage allowance in economy class is 20 kg, in business class 30 kg. In principle, you can just fit into this figure and everything will be fine.
• Baggage rules: There are two systems of baggage allowance: weight concept and piece concept. Many airlines are switching to the second system. In this case, the free norm is one suitcase weighing 23 kg. For those who are accustomed to the more traditional system of calculating by weight, you need to pay attention to the following. If you are traveling as a family and you have one large suitcase, then it may be considered overweight, despite the fact that you have less than 46 kg for two tickets. In this case, it is better to break the luggage into two small suitcases. By the way, two very small suitcases for one person will also be a formal advantage.
• The same airline may have different conditions for carrying baggage in different directions. This is usually explicitly stated on the ticket.
• Not only weight is important, but also size. The carriage of baggage, the sum of the dimensions of which exceeds the allowable limits, may also require additional payment.
• There are also restrictions on the size and weight of hand luggage. As a rule, this is 10 kg for economy class (for low-cost airlines, UIA - 7 kg) and 15 kg for business class. The allowable size of hand luggage in most cases is: 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm or 115 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions. Sometimes, in order to prove that your suitcase or bag is suitable for hand luggage, it may be required to fit it into a special box and / or weigh it.

Table of requirements for baggage and carry-on baggage for airlines of the world

- equipment is completely dependent on the airline. In general, there are three main policies:

1. Equipment considered as part of the baggage without any exceptions and concessions. This means that in the case of the system for calculating the number of pieces of baggage for free transportation, all equipment and all other things must fit in one bag weighing no more than 23 kg.
2. Equipment can be in a separate bag, but the total amount of luggage must not exceed the usual allowance (20 or 23 kg).
3. Additional kilograms are given for the transportation of equipment. Usually around 10. Sometimes you need to provide evidence that you are involved in this sport. For example, for an additional 10 kg for diving or freediving equipment in Qatar Airways you need to provide a diver or freediver certificate card.

Calculation the cost of transporting sports equipment may also depend on the type of tariff. For example, at the full rate, you can get additional kilograms for the transportation of equipment, and you will have to pay extra for discount tickets for equipment.

A few tips to get around the baggage rules and not pay for overweight on the plane:

• Please read the rules when purchasing tickets. free baggage allowance and when packing it, try to take this into account even at home.
• Find out by which system the airline counts baggage (by weight or by number of pieces of baggage).
• Consider this when choosing how much to put in which suitcase. If the airline considers the number of seats according to the system, then all suitcases must be no more than 23 kg.
• Consider the weight of the suitcase. A backpack, a simple case or boxes weigh 5-7 kg less than suitcases and can be much more spacious. If you really have a lot of things, this can be critical.
• Try to weigh your luggage at home. This can be done on a normal floor scale and calculated as the difference between your weight with luggage and your weight without luggage. This will save you the hassle at the airport.
• Put everything small and heavy in your hand luggage. Many airlines do not look at the number and weight of hand luggage. The main thing is not to weigh it when registering.
• If you find that you are still overweight with the weight, pull out everything that you can put on yourself. Not by much, but your luggage will become lighter.
• Pockets can help you out. They can put small but heavy objects (but not containing liquid).
• If you are traveling with a group, then ask your friends if they can take some of your things into their suitcase.
• Do not forget that many items that are quite heavy, such as a laptop, camera, phones and related accessories, you can take in hand luggage. At the same time, you can put some other small but heavy items in your laptop bag.
• First check the weight of your luggage, and only then pack it in a plastic bag. In order not to waste time on repacking.
• Sometimes it is cheaper to buy all sorts of shampoos, gels, toothpastes, sunblock on the spot than to overpay for them in the form of excess weight in luggage.
• A good opportunity to save on luggage is to buy drinks, food, souvenirs in Duty Free.
• Everything you can buy on the road or on the spot.
• If you don’t want to take a lot of luggage, try limiting yourself to a small travel bag or a suitcase that fits the definition of “hand luggage” in terms of weight and dimensions. This will save you from many not very pleasant procedures (checking in luggage, waiting for it to be received). And certainly in this case, your luggage will not be lost.

And most importantly, the baggage rules - do not take too much!

Something this year, November is simply harvested for all sorts of transport tricks. Either Russian Railways suspended the sale of reserved seat tickets, or air carriers have new rules.
Actually, I would not bother with this, because we try Russian airlines not to fly, but for December we have tickets Moscow-Tivat-Moscow. And we fly "Victory".

Naturally, I immediately went to the airline's website and began to look at how the baggage rules had changed. The first thing I saw:
On flights of Pobeda Airlines LLC no free baggage allowance, with the exception of carriage on a ticket that provides for the condition of the return of the carriage fee upon termination of the contract air transportation. Tickets that provide for the condition of the return of the carriage fee upon termination of the air transportation agreement provide for a free baggage allowance weighing no more than 10 kilograms and dimensions no more than 203 centimeters in the sum of three dimensions.

To be honest, this put me in a stupor, because in my non-refundable ticket it says in blue and white that I am entitled to my legal 10 kg of luggage. Of course, I went to find out what kind of garbage and how to be. In the process of clarifying, they threw this off to me, but there is no such information directly on the website, although it definitely was back in October, because I saw a screenshot from the airline's website. Why they removed it is completely incomprehensible, they only caused another wave of misunderstandings among the passengers and another anger.
9.1
If you purchased a ticket before 09/29/2017 (including this date) for a flight operated after 09/30/2017 (including this date), you can carry free of charge no more than 10 kg of Checked Baggage up to 203 cm in three dimensions and Hand Baggage, provided for in paragraph 9.4 of these Rules.

Calling Pobeda's help desk is very expensive (more than 60 rubles per minute), so I decided to write. To my surprise, the answer came within half an hour (I didn’t expect it on Sunday evening)
As a result of the correspondence, it turned out that we can take luggage for free, as it was originally in the fare, since the ticket was purchased according to the old rules. Just in case, I saved the letters and in which case I will present them at the airport.

Now oh hand luggage.
Carrying hand luggage on Pobeda was the most painful place, because there were too many restrictions, but there was no weight limit, at least nowhere was it indicated how much a handbag or men's briefcase could weigh. With a reasonable approach, this could be very well used.
Since we have heavy photographic equipment with us, it was decided to pay extra. place for transportation in the cabin (10 kg). And again, it’s not clear how much as a result you can take luggage into the cabin according to the new rules, because from personal account followed that I can take 5 kg, husband 5 +5.
Again, as a result of correspondence with Pobeda, we found out that you can take 5 kg for free and 10 kg paid for, it’s just that the site is very crookedly reflected.
At the same time, now you can take both a backpack and a bag in hand luggage, the main thing is that everything fits into their microscopic norms for the size of luggage.

In general, all normal airlines did not take into account photo and video equipment, as well as laptops, in the weight of hand luggage, because it is impossible to check in this equipment as luggage, according to current rules, all this should fit into 5 kg of hand luggage. For photographers, this is practically a death sentence, i.k. often a carcass + lens kit can already weigh more than 5 kg, not to mention tripods.

Of course you can buy more expensive tickets with luggage and pay for additional hand luggage, but then the meaning of the Pobeda tickets is completely lost, since its only plus is cheap tickets. As soon as you start paying extra for everything, cheapness disappears and it’s easier to buy tickets from some European airline.

Like many other domestic carriers, Pobeda Airlines sets its own rules for carrying baggage and hand luggage, so you need to familiarize yourself with them before the flight in order to avoid embarrassing situations when landing.

According to the domestic air code for 2019, the cost of carrying passenger baggage is included in the ticket fare. Accordingly, the airline pays the same fees for each person and their luggage, whether it be one small suitcase or 10 huge bags. Therefore, many air carriers determine the exact dimensions and weight of carry-on baggage carried into the cabin in order to introduce an additional fee for carrying things.

Pobeda Airlines, for example, included hand luggage and larger luggage in the ticket price, setting certain rules for them. Anything that exceeds the specified parameters in size and weight is paid separately according to the tariffs published on the air carrier's website.

Rules for the carriage of free hand luggage by Pobeda Airlines

Paragraph 135 of FAR 82 "Victory" establishes that each passenger has the right to take into the cabin of the aircraft a limited list of things that should be in a bag or briefcase measuring 36 x 30 x 27 centimeters (weight is not limited):

Baggage accepted by the carrier for transportation under its own responsibility and marked with a baggage tag is called checked baggage. Such baggage is transported in the luggage compartment of the aircraft. For the sake of safety, we recommend attaching a tag to each piece of such luggage, indicating personal data on it in Latin letters: last name, address, telephone number.

Each passenger, if desired, can take one piece of baggage into the cabin, the weight of which is included in the free baggage allowance, but does not exceed10 kg., and the size by the sum of three measurements is 115 cm.

Such baggage is considered unchecked. The passenger is responsible for it.

Valuable items such as: business papers, medicines, fragile items, jewelry are recommended to be carried in hand luggage.

Items classified as "dangerous" (the list of which is given in the ticket) are prohibited from being transported in the aircraft cabin.

Baggage allowance

The free baggage allowance is determined by the direction of departure and the flight service class. There are two baggage allowance systems in the world: the weight concept and the piece concept.

Weight system:

This system determines the weight of baggage that a passenger is allowed to carry free of charge.

In the first class - 40 kg;

In business class - 30 kg;

In economy class - 20 kg.

The free baggage allowance includes the total weight of baggage and carry-on baggage.

Some airlines increase the free baggage allowance on certain flights, which will be reflected in your ticket.

The size of a piece of baggage should not exceed 158 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions for economy class and 203 cm for first and business class.

Passengers of all classes are allowed to take into the cabin unchecked baggage weighing up to 10 kg, which is included in the total weight of baggage carried free of charge. Its size in the sum of three dimensions should not exceed 115 cm.

For children under 2 years old traveling without a separate seat, the free baggage allowance is 10 kg.

Seat system:

This system determines the allowances for the number of pieces of baggage that can be carried by a passenger, it is usually used on transatlantic flights.

Passengers of all service classes are allowed to carry two pieces of baggage weighing up to 32 kg each free of charge. In the sum of three dimensions, the size of the seat must not exceed 158 cm for economy class and 203 cm for first and business class.

Please note that seat weights are not cumulative! This means that if one piece weighs more than 32 kg, an additional excess charge will apply, even if the second piece weighs less than 32 kg.

Oversized baggage is accepted for transportation only with the consent of the airline. You should familiarize yourself with the conditions for the carriage of such baggage when booking an air ticket. Having accepted your baggage for transportation, the airline assumes all additional costs for its loading and unloading.

Excess baggage:

If the weight and dimensions of your luggage exceed the established norms, then it is better to solve all the problems associated with its registration in advance. Payment for excess baggage is made in accordance with the baggage rates in force on the day of issuing the receipt of paid baggage, which is issued to the passenger upon receipt of payment from him at the airline's ticket office. At your request, baggage can be registered as unaccompanied. In this case, baggage is accepted for transportation separately from the passenger and is registered in advance as cargo according to a separate air waybill.

Oversized and non-standard baggage:

If you wish to carry bulky, fragile or valuable baggage (including musical instruments) on a separate seat (seats) in the aircraft cabin, with a total weight of up to 75 kg per seat, then you need to purchase a separate air ticket.
