The issue of baggage in air transport worries a lot of tourists, because the rules change all the time. What dimensions of suitcases are allowed on board, how much can one free piece weigh, what are the rules for carrying hand luggage- all these issues should be worked out in advance so that there are no problems with checking in luggage during boarding.

Today, airlines transport cargo using two systems of measures:

In the weight concept, the total load is taken as the basis, regardless of the number of seats, and in the peace concept, the carriage of 1 free seat per passenger is determined (hand luggage is not taken into account). The number of seats system limits the standard dimensions of a suitcase to 158 cm, and in the weight system this figure rises to 203 cm.

What is the weight of one suitcase in checked baggage for free?

The weight concept defines a flight with luggage no heavier than 23 kg in economy class, a business class passenger can take 32 kg on board, up to 40 can be carried in the first. And the number of seats system determines the baggage allowance at no extra charge for economy 23 kg.

If you have a family trip, then it is quite convenient to take one suitcase for each of you and, in total, carry a larger amount of cargo without payment than in the weight concept. However, the weight of the suitcases is not summed up, that is, from the underweight in one suitcase and the overweight in the other, airport employees will not derive the arithmetic mean.

Exceeding the weight norm will entail additional expenses, often considerable. Additionally, 10 kg of cargo can be transported per child under 2 years old.

Attention! Many carriers have Economy Basic, Promo or Light tariffs, which provide for a fee for any baggage.

Permissible dimensions of a suitcase for hand luggage

It is very convenient to carry a small suitcase, which will be considered as hand luggage, along with you in the cabin. This is beneficial for several reasons:

In the cabin of the aircraft, one economy class passenger can take one piece of hand luggage with him for free, it is allowed to carry two in the first and business class. The dimensions of a suitcase that can be taken into the passenger compartment, by the sum of the sides, should not exceed 115 cm. Suitcases of size S (cabin size) are ideal for this.

Standard hand luggage dimensions are no more than 55 × 40 × 25 cm. Weight must not exceed 10 kg. These are generally accepted rules. However, each carrier has its own standards, which may differ from the standard ones by 3–5 cm in any direction. Exceeding the norms will entail a surcharge, which differs for different airlines.

Important! Check the carrier's website before flying allowable dimensions free carry-on baggage and its maximum weight.

What if the size and weight exceed the norm?

It is not always possible to fill the suitcase so that the weight does not exceed the prescribed. If the luggage is heavier than the cherished 23 kg (the norm for business class passengers), then it will not get on board the aircraft without additional payment for a few kg from above. The tariff is set by each carrier separately and can range from 10 to 100 euros in different cases.

According to existing standards, a passenger has the right to carry a suitcase with dimensions of 158 cm (203 according to the weight system), luggage of an infant under 2 years old with a sum of sides of 115 cm or sports equipment no more than 210 cm free of charge. Excess will also entail financial costs in favor of the carrier company according to her estimates.

Transportation of suitcases with fragile and heavy items

If the baggage is overweight or the dimensions do not meet the requirements stipulated by the rules, then such cargo is defined as heavy. Its transportation is possible only by prior agreement with the air carrier.

Important! On the day of departure, you will have to arrive at the airport in advance so that you have free time to check in your luggage.

According to the same principle, baggage with oversized items is transported:

Suitcases with fragile items are marked with special tags, clearance will also require a margin of time. If the breakable cargo fits the dimensions of hand luggage, you can take it with you to the cabin and not worry about the conditions of its transportation.

Rules of different airlines

Air carriers on their websites post information about the rules of baggage, the maximum allowable dimensions, including for hand luggage. We have collected for you information about these standards from the most relevant for Russian tourists airlines. The following are the dimensions of baggage for free transportation in economy class.

Checked luggage is transported in the luggage compartment of the aircraft. Passengers hand it over at the time of check-in. Such cargo must be properly packed and closed, and its contents securely protected from pressure damage from other suitcases. It must also comply with the restrictions imposed by individual air carriers.

A baggage tag is issued for each suitcase and bag, the other end of which is given to the passenger. It is the basis for the identification of luggage upon arrival and complaints in case of damage or loss. From this point on, the responsibility for it is on the side of the carrier.

Carriage allowances

There are no internationally established rules regarding the weight of luggage. Allowed baggage weight on the plane varies depending on the company the passenger uses. However, all airlines have their own franchise system - the weight and amount of baggage that can be carried in the hold of the aircraft.

carrier rule

This rule states that on multi-airline flights, the baggage rules of the airline that travels the geographically longest and longest leg of the journey apply.

Dimensions

The amount of luggage depends on the type, booking class and route:

By Masashi Yanagiya Flickr

• 150 cm - the maximum baggage size for most airlines, calculated based on the sum of three values;
• 20-32 kg is this weight range for budget airlines;
• 1-4 - allowed number of suitcases.

For security reasons, checked baggage is subject to certain restrictions.

• Companies that operate regular flights.

The free baggage allowance depends on the reserved class of service and passenger status:

1. Economy class - 1 baggage up to 23 kg.
2. Economy premium class - 2 suitcases, each 23 kg.
3. Business class - 2 luggage, each up to 32 kg.
4. First class - 3 bags, each up to 32 kg.

• The franchise of airlines making charter flights is about 15 kg.

Some companies charge the weight of luggage, including the deductible. Therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is necessary to clarify the permitted weight and fees for exceeding the dimensions of luggage. There are also loyalty cards in international airlines that allow you to carry more things for free, regardless of the class of service.

Some restrictions

It is forbidden to separate weight limits. For example, if two passengers are flying, who can carry baggage of 15 kg, in such a situation it is impossible to take one baggage weighing 20 and the other 10 kg. It is not allowed to combine weight restrictions - for two people of 15 kg each, you cannot take a suitcase weighing 30 kg.

Many companies turn a blind eye to a common suitcase exceeding the weight limit for 1 person and are rarely outraged, but still you should be more careful and take an extra bag to shift some of the cargo into it if you start having problems and requests to pay for excess weight.

Suitcases for children

Checking luggage for infants is prohibited. If a child is traveling without a separate seat for less than two years, you can register for him:

The rules governing free hand luggage on an airplane are determined by airlines, and most of them impose strict restrictions on the size and weight of bags. Aeroflot is no exception. When flying on board an aircraft of this air carrier, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the 2020 rules for the allowable dimensions and weight of hand luggage in advance - this will allow you to avoid problems during the inspection of things.

Dimensions of allowable hand luggage

On board an aircraft, you have every right to take a bag or briefcase, the sum of the three sides of which (width, as well as length and height) does not exceed 115 centimeters. For example, it is allowed to take a hiking bag with parameters 40x55x20, or a small suitcase with dimensions 55x35x25 into the cabin of the aircraft. A smaller sum of measurements is possible, a larger one is not.

These restrictions apply exclusively on Aeroflot flights, while codeshare flights with other airlines are subject to the rules established by the partner carrier.

Weight of free hand luggage

The permitted weight carried on board an Aeroflot aircraft is determined by the class of the passenger seat. In the business lounge, it is permissible to take a bag weighing up to 15 kilograms, while in economy / comfort classes, the maximum weight of your suitcase should not exceed 10 kg.

Allowed Extras

The concept of "hand luggage" includes bags with handles, large backpacks or suitcases. Besides, you have the right to take other things on the plane:

• A small handbag;
• Briefcase or borset;
• Cane or umbrella;
• One piece of warm clothing;
• Periodical or book;
