It is well known that the aircraft is one of the fastest and most reliable vehicles. Flight safety is carried out by introducing certain rules and international standards that control the rules of flights. Control of the allowed baggage weight on a separate person taken is one of the important flight safety principles on aircraft.
The restrictions on the luggage transmitted during flights sometimes put a person to a deadlock situation, and it is necessary to either overpay the round sum of airlines for excess of the weight norm, or not to take with them the way the necessary personal belongings.
The luggage itself, which transports the passenger conventionally divided into 3 categories.

General luggage transportation rules
If you want to know, as well as familiarize yourself with the common transportation rules, you can read an article about this on our portal.
Limitations by weight on baggage are put by the airline depending on the direction of flight and the service class selected by passengers during air transportation. Until recently, all companies transporting passengers allowed for free to carry baggage with a total weight of no more than 20 kg (in business class - 30 kg).
At the moment, new rules for the carriage of goods and personal belongings have appeared. Thus, one passenger is paid exactly 1 place for baggage, even if the weight of the things transported less than the established norm. In other words, there will be no two suitcase for 10 kg to the registration department. For such a luxury, you will have to pay a solid amount of money.
The weighting system for the carriage of personal belongings, baggage and hand baggage is applied by airlines of the CIS countries, Europe, Asia. According to the norms of such a system, each passenger has the right to carry without additional charge the following number of things (in kilograms):
- in economy class - 20 kg per person;
- business class - allows you to carry up to 30 kg of luggage to one passenger;
- if a child will fly to you in the plane, which does not exceed 2 years old, then it is additionally allowed to transport another 10 kg of baggage. This advantage is easily used by passengers with young children.
Sometimes airlines conduct bonus programs whose participants have a privileged right to transport additional things. What is still good weight transportation system? She, for example, allows family members, friends or relatives who go to one flight - to combine the transported baggage. Often a married couple or people who know each other well, fly together. Then it becomes convenient to fold and hand out several luggages as one common.
From the shortcomings of the weight system of baggage, it is possible to mark - overpay even for a slight advantage. The airline determines how much should pay the passenger for each excess kilogram of transported baggage. It is for this reason that people often refuse flights offering the weight system for transporting things.

Quantitative Luggage Transportation System
The rules established by the quantitative system of air transportation, allow the passenger to carry baggage strictly by the number of places, depending on the class of service. In economy class, it is allowed to occupy 1 place for baggage, passengers of business and luxury classes for these purposes 2 places are given.
But there are still weight limitations, they are discussed in detail in the table below.
When the total weight of transported baggage and hand baggage does not exceed 10 kg, the passenger is allowed to occupy an unlimited number of places, by itself within reasonable limits. For example, if you fly by economy class, using a quantitative system of transportation, and the total luggage is less than 10 kg, it is allowed to carry it into 3 suitcases, thereby occupying 3 places.
Bonus promotions that are sometimes spent will provide the opportunity to take extra 1-2 luggage sites. Rules of participation in such advantageous events should be clarified by the leadership of the airline.
If we compare the weight and quantitative system of transportation, then you need to use the one that will be convenient for you. The air transportation system by the number of seats makes it possible to carry baggage a few kilograms more than the weight, but also the price of the ticket may be more expensive.
Taking advantage of the quantitative system of transportation, it is important to consider the size of baggage. The width, height and length of the suitcase in the amount should not be more than 158 cm, the weight system increases this indicator to 203 cm.
Hand-made carriage rules
The weight of the hand-made carriage in various airlines ranges from 5 to 12 kg, each of the passengers is provided for this purpose 1 place. Securities, money, bank cards belong to personal belongings, you can not worry for their transportation, as it is not a manual loop. In the cabin of the aircraft, you can also carry out the objects of clothing (coat, jacket, the cloak in the hand of the passenger is equated to his personal things, it is not necessary to take them in the cargo compartment).
When transporting things to the vehicle salon, not only the weight of the hand baggage should be taken into account, but also its dimensions. Width, length, the height of the inside of baggage must comply with the established standards, otherwise, the airline will break the handle to the hand.
Rules for transportation of individual types of goods
Transportation of baggage that does not correspond to the recommended dimensions is carried out with the consent of the airline's leadership. If a person wants to pass the home theater in the cargo compartment, sports equipment weighing more than 32 kg, refrigerator - you should report about it in advance. Not every aircraft, due to its design, can transport a similar cargo.
How to be when transporting easy couplings, glass products, service or expensive vase? In such situations, the passenger must specify the passenger during registration that the pronounced items can be divided into the way. The service personnel will mark the load with a special sticker. But if the thing still breaks out, the airline takes off responsibility for what happened. Therefore, fragile or valuable items and gold jewelry are better transported in the transport cabin.
What is forbidden to transport in airplanes?
There is a ban on the transport of certain goods, significantly improving the safety of flights. In whatever country you did not fly, the following items will not be allowed to carry in airplanes:
- corrosive (caustic) and destructive substances - devices that contain alkali, mercury, acid;
- gases in any form (poisonous, flammable, compressed, liquefied) is categorically prohibited to transport in airliners;
- solid or liquid substances capable of lighting up (matches, gasoline, lighter, varnish, paint, etc.);
- explosive substances - cartridges from any weapon, pyrotechnic products, petardes, detonators, weapons;
- materials with increased radioactivity, poisons and toxic substances are also under the strictest prohibition;
- bags, portfolios in which the signaling device is built.
These items and substances can not be carried in the cargo compartment of the plane, nor in its cabin.
Prohibited to the provision of substances and objects
Regarding hand-made bare and passengers transported by personal belongings, the prohibition concerns funds that can be equated to cold weapons, or is such. No airline will be allowed to transport in the cabin: knives, swords, sabers, scissors, razors. Sometimes the attendant personnel can remove the nail pylon from the passenger. All these measures are taken for precaution.
When going to fly on the plane, it is not necessary to think that the rules for limiting the mass of the transported baggage came up with the airline in order to increase profits from air transportation, or deliver inconvenience passengers. Weight control during transportation is intended to protect passengers from emergencies, because, flying on an overloaded plane is always a risk, and unjustified.
Video - Luggage and manual lay on the plane
Today, air travel is the most convenient and fast travel way. However, even those who fly not for the first time often face a number of certain issues. Some of the most common are connected with the transportation of baggage - how many baggage kg can be transported on the plane for free, which value is considered permissible and how many kilograms can be born per person.
Before planting a plane, any passenger will have to go through baggage weighing procedure. Only some things are not taken into account that a man takes with me to the plane salon is a lady's handbag, a telephone, laptop, crutches, a wheelchair and a cane. Each company has its own established rules, and if the baggage weighs more than a certain norm, the passenger will have to pay according to tariffs.
How much is allowed to carry a free one person?
Most airlines adopted the following tariffs for the transportation of free baggage:
- Economy passengers can be transported up to 20 kg;
- Business class passengers up to 30 kg;
- When buying a first class ticket allowed to carry up to 40 kg.
Usually this rate is calculated from the total weight of baggage and hand-made. But some companies do not take into account manual sting when counting, so you should specify the rules from your carrier. It is worth remembering that these are averaged values, the norm is set by a specific company.
You should also take into account the length of the pracercia. For economy-class passengers, baggage should not exceed 158 cm, and for the first and business class not more than 203 cm.
In addition to the weight control in airlines, there is also an estimate of baggage in the number of places. Also, an important condition is to choose a class when buying a ticket, as the higher the class, the more loyal conditions for the transportation of things.
For the successful transport of own items, some rules should be taken into account:
- Luggage weight can not be summed. Suppose two people fly and luggage are taken in the number 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 for 3 extra kilograms.
- Wheels, pockets and other accessories of the bag itself are necessarily taken into account when determining the weight, and not just what is in it.
- Transporting non-standard boosts must be coordinated with the airline, some things are allowed to take a fee, some for free. For example, skis or bike are usually calculated as one place without taking weight and length.
Number of free luggage in different airlines
Transaero.
In Transaero, the following luggage weight definition principles are used: the first group is all flights, in addition to the transatlantic, the second group - it includes directions to America, Brazil and Canada. In the first group up to 20 kg of free luggage, passengers on a tourist ticket can be transported, up to 25 kg can be transported in an airplane in the "economical" class, you can travel for free of charge for a business ticket for free, up to 45 kg when buying an imperial class ticket.
If we talk about the second group, then there are two free luggage places weighing no more than 25 kg for tourist and economical classes, for business class tickets installed two luggage places 32 kg, passengers of the Imperial class are allowed to carry baggage in the amount of three pieces weight more than 32 kg each.
If the luggage exceeds the set number of kilograms, then the tax rate will be from 100 to 150 dollars depending on weight.
If you are going to fly by S7 Flights, then you need to consider the following rules: Economy passengers are allowed to carry manual rigging weighing no more than 10 kg, luggage paid - no more than 23 kg, in economy class, a flexible hand-made should not exceed 10 kg, and Luggage standards are limited weighing 23 kg.
When buying a ticket to the base-class, it is allowed to take a manual laying into two places with a total weight of no more than 15 kg, and one free luggage place weighing no more than 32 kg.
If the weight of one luggage place exceeds 23 kg, the passenger will have to pay extra for the advantage on average 25 euros, and if the luggage weighs more than 32 kg, then it is necessary to pay about 50 euros.
Aeroflot
At Aeroflot, the following baggage is installed: when buying a business class ticket, you can carry the bags in the number of 2 luggage places no more than 32 kg each, comfort class and premium tickets provide for two places no more than 23 kg each, and in economy tickets It is allowed to carry 1 place no more than 23 kg.
The Aeroflot aircraft can take a manual sting with a weight of 10 kg for economy class passengers and 15 kg for a business class.
If, when transporting baggage in Aeroflot, the weight exceeds 23 kg, but not more than 32 kg, then the passenger will have to pay 50 euros for flights through the territory of Russia and 100 dollars with flights on a number of other directions. If the weight of baggage exceeds 32 kg, but not more than 50 kg, then the passenger needs to pay 100 euros for flights around the country and $ 150 in other areas.
Perhaps one of the most important reasons for the concern of tourists, of course, luggage. Passengers are heard about stories when the suitcase was lost either disappeared with a long delay or, in the worst case, was lost with the ends.
Many have repeatedly witnessed when, when registering many passengers, forced to pay extra for the advantage of their baggage. Therefore, this article will talk about what rules are acting with a luggage.
Total Luggage Transportation Moments
It must be admitted that the flight is completely without luggage - it is often uncommon. At a minimum, the passenger always has a manual stall, the lady's handbag or a laptop. The main mass of things for the flight is given, naturally, in luggage. Do not forget about the standard baggage free standards adopted by the airline. At the same time, each company establishes its individual rules if some air carriers surrendered free of charge in luggage loads up to 30 kilograms, then in other such weight will have to pay extra.
All companies, only loupes are excellent, for economy class clients allow free transport of one place, but its maximum weight varies and often ranges from 20 and to 23 kilograms, the advantage is paid separately.
It should be noted that for each child up to two years, which does not have its own landing place, there are about 10 kilograms of free luggage.
The weight of one luggage site, based on the rules of international airports, should not exceed as taken, 32 kilograms, therefore, if the total mass of the passenger's things exceeds the specified norm, then it will be necessary to buy a ticket for second place, while spending a decent amount of money. True, it mostly concerns only economical clients, as the majority of airlines for the first and business class passengers automatically provide for tickets with the presence of two luggage places.
In order to avoid unpleasant situations, additional coordination with employees of the company is required, for example, by phone.
Traveling together, many passengers try to use the following trick: In return to bring all their things in two bags, they put everything in one. It is clear that the weight of baggage exceeds the norm of one place, but does not exceed the total allowable weight for two.
But if you familiarize yourself with the rules of airlines, then this luggage association is prohibited by companies.
On the other hand, it often happens that for one luggage place, which has weight more than the free norm, but less ceiling in 32 kilograms, do not require additional charge. It depends on the employees of the aviation company itself, the services of which you use, as well as rigorism in compliance with the established rules and should not forget about the trade union of movers, which dictate their conditions in the maximum weight of the suitcase.
Manual Truck Transport Rules
Manual sting is personal belongings, the size and weight of which do not exceed the entered airline norms and are placed on board the aircraft, while at the same time the threats are passengers.
Regarding the weight of the hand-made bag, it is often different from most airlines - someone has 5-10 kilograms, in some 15.
The hand-shaped handle rate depends directly from a certain class:
one place in the business class, "President", "Premier". Weight is up to 15 kilograms, the sum of three geometric measurements is 115 centimeters.
One place in economy class. Hand baggage should not exceed 10 kilograms, and the measurement amount is 115 centimeters.
Regardless of this, in addition to hand-made bags, things like coats, ladies, bags with a camera or laptop, plaid and orthopedic devices can relate to hand baggage.
These things are not respectively weighed during registration, not marked with tags, respectively and are not issued.
A separate moment is also the fact that many passengers buy tickets for flights immediately in several airlines, which have a code-Sheriang Agreement. It is worth understanding that code-cher does not mean that the rules for transportation of baggage will be identical. In this case, it is better to familiarize themselves with the standards for transporting baggage of the other airline in order to accidentally not overdo it with weight.

Pockets can also help, they simply put small, but heavy items. Do not forget that many things are sufficiently heavy, such as phones, cameras and related accessories, you can take into manual sting. It should be noted that in the bag for a laptop can be placed small, but heavy items.
4. To begin with, check the weight of baggage, only then pack in a plastic bag. It is necessary to save time on repacking.

8. Travelers with experience argue that about 50% of things are not returned home.
9. Easy baggage, in fact, is not only saved money, but also an excellent opportunity to travel with comfort.

Loss of baggage
Sometimes an extremely unpleasant situation happens, loses of things. If your suitcase disappears at the airport, you should, without leaving the arrival area, inform the representatives of the luggage search service. Often, a written request for luggage search is made, for this you need to have an additive ticket and a ticket for a flight, as well as a personality identity. After that, the passenger is issued a special act, which indicates the case of the case, followed by the course of finding things on the websites of airlines.
The search for baggage, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, is carried out within 21 days, after that, the airline client may require compensation for luggage. Compensation, according to international treaties, is about $ 20, while the calculation goes for 1 kilogram of baggage. But it is better to clarify the amount directly from airlines' workers. When contacting directly to aviation carriers, you can count on payments about 600 rubles per kilogram of baggage, according to the rules of some international airlines, the amount of compensation increases.
When damaged baggage or disappearance of individual things, you should immediately contact the airline staff, having a ticket with a luggage ticket.

From passengers, an exact description of the things that came, compensation, as before, is a mentioned amount of 20 dollars per kilogram. In the case when all checks are preserved for lost things, it is quite possible to count on the full or partial return of their cost.
Flight by plane is a very fast and convenient way to get to the right place in a short period of time. But that the air travel was safe and comfortable, air transporters developed a number of rules that need to follow strictly.
The basic rules of baggage in the aircraft are common to all airlines. In addition, on airlines there are individual conditions of baggage. They depend on the country of arrival and from the class of landing ticket. In order not to have unpleasant surprises during registration, a person should learn in advance how much baggage can be transported on the plane.
On November 5, 2017, the order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia was entered into force on the transfer of baggage on airlines in the new edition. It defines Concept (weight limit) and Piece Concept (quantitative limit of luggage units). There are three types of tariffs for baggage transport: non-returnable without free luggage and with a baggage rate, as well as a return with the standard of baggage.
Terminal
On a note!In civil aviation, free or paid transport of things is determined by their dimensions (size and weight), as well as the distance of the aircraft and the cabin class. The ticket price includes a baggage, determined by the generally accepted system for determining the limit of weight limit. They are indicated as weight.
The norm of securities by weight
As for the weight indicators, the new regulation determines the list of baggage with a permissible weight in the cabin of the aircraft, as well as in its cargo compartment. Restrictions are introduced due to the specifics of the air movement of people. The technical characteristics of the aircraft, compared with the trains, provide for a smaller amount of cargo transported.
The new regulation establishes the maximum weight of free hand-made bags per passenger at non-refundable tickets at the level of 5 kg. Some carriers, for the sake of competitive advantage, can increase this indicator. And on some aviation lines restrictions tightened. So Aeroflot in 2018 applied the rules for the transportation of baggage. What weight of baggage is allowed in the plane of leading airlines of Russia?
For free on board "Aeroflot" in the manual stall you can take:
- One place, the size of which is 55x40x25 centimeters and weighing 10 kilograms in economy and comfort-classes and 15 kilograms in the business class.
- Backpack weighing 5 kilograms and 80 centimeters in the amount of 3 measurements, the lady's bag or a portfolio.
- Package from duty free, upper clothes, costume in a case, folding baby carriage or wheelchair for disabled, medical preparations, etc.
Important! According to the rules of air transport, if the luggage weighs more than 20 kg, passengers with return tickets have the right to carry from 10 to 30 kg of baggage without additional payments.
According to this system, the following indicators are provided for adults and children that are not under 2 years:
- 1st grade - permissible weight of 40 kg.
- Business class - 30 kg.
- Economy class - 20 kg.
According to the rules of air transportation, if the in-x-baggage is more than 20 kg, the passenger will be obligated for it, if the flight is performed at the Economa tariff.
Luggage in the salon
Note!Each child up to 2 years old without a separate landing room, the rate for free luggage is 10 kg.
In many international airlines, you can take a hand-made personal thing (oversized handbag, laptop or camera, packed in the case). In addition, carriers can resolve an umbrella, upper clothes and packages from Duty Fr.

During registration, carriers have the right to demand hand-made weighing. If you pass the procedure online, the marking will not need. Weighing in this case are made before entering the landing.
