S7 Airlines: baggage and hand luggage allowances. S7 Airlines. S7 hand luggage - rules and requirements for transportation S7 hand luggage parameters

Baggage and hand luggage of S7 Airlines are transported in accordance with the rules mandatory for all passengers. It is advisable to decide what you will take with you on your trip before purchasing tickets. Paying for baggage during the online booking process is significantly cheaper than paying at the airport before boarding the aircraft.

Baggage allowance on S7 aircraft

The rules and regulations for baggage transportation on international flights and within Russia are the same and are dictated by the design features of the aircraft, as well as flight safety requirements.

How many suitcases you can carry without paying depends on the fare you choose. Hand luggage is carried free of charge in all cases.

You can often hear from passengers that baggage is added up. For example, you have two suitcases with a total weight of 23 kg, which can be combined and arranged as 1 piece. In the case of S7 Airlines, this approach is not practiced.

One piece represents one suitcase or bag.

This is important to consider when planning your trip.

When it comes to luggage for two, it also cannot be combined. If you are traveling in a group, it is better to distribute all the suitcases among each other in advance so that the baggage allowance for one passenger is met. Carrying the company/group's necessary travel items should be considered before the moment, so that during the online booking process all baggage can be effectively distributed and checked in.

The baggage allowance for a child is the same as for adults if a minor passenger occupies a separate seat. years old belongs to the “Infant” category, so it can be transported on the lap of one of the parents. In this case, both are subject to the same carry-on baggage allowance. When a separate seat is issued for a child, you can take a separate bag for him.

When done, the passenger is given a 20% discount. For this procedure, you can use the carrier’s official website or a special mobile application for devices based on Android or iOS.

You can also pay for transportation online using a bank card. If you check in at the airport, the cost will increase significantly.

Participants in the S7 Priority loyalty program can earn money that they have accumulated in the process of regularly using the services of the airline and its partners. is also possible for participants of similar programs of other members of the Oneworld alliance - Emgrand, Ruby and Sapphire. To participate in S7 Priority, you must register on the program website or purchase a special Tinkoff bank card.

Excess baggage

Carrying excess baggage that goes beyond what is permitted both in size and weight is only possible with a certain surcharge. Its size depends not only on the magnitude of the excess, but also on the direction of the route. The approximate price of one excess seat will be as follows:

• domestic flights within Russia – from 2,000 to 15,000 rubles;
• flights to CIS countries – from 3,000 to 18,000 rubles;
• flights to Europe and Southeast Asia - from 50 to 300 euros.

A more accurate amount of excess transportation can be clarified by calling the toll-free number 8-800-700-07-07.

If the dimensions of one piece of baggage exceed 203 cm in total dimensions, it is considered oversized, and if it weighs more than 32 kg, it is considered heavy. Whether to check luggage in this case or not, the airline decides individually, focusing on the characteristics of the aircraft used. At European airports, the maximum permitted baggage weight is 32 kg. In case of excess, it is necessary to order freight transportation at the appropriate rates.

Carrying hand luggage

Each passenger is allowed to take with him into the aircraft cabin free of charge only. It can be placed on a special shelf above the passenger seats.

The size and dimensions of hand luggage should not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm, including wheels and handles.

In economy class, a passenger is allowed to carry one bag weighing no more than 10 kg, and in business class - two pieces with a total weight of 15 kg. If these standards are exceeded, the suitcase must be returned for transportation in the cargo compartment of the aircraft.

At the airport, no one will measure the size of your carry-on luggage with a tape measure. There are special template frames near the flight check-in counters. If the dimensions of the bag meet the standards, you can take it with you into the cabin for free. Otherwise, you need to check in your luggage and pay for additional space.

It is no coincidence that the size of a carry-on bag has strict restrictions. S7 aircraft can simultaneously accommodate 60-180 passengers, depending on the aircraft model. There should be enough space for all things in the cabin. Bags can be placed either on the luggage rack or on the floor under the seat in front. However, passengers sitting near emergency exits are strictly prohibited from placing bags and other things on the floor.

Carrying liquids in hand luggage

Liquids in large bottles got into prohibited items that cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin. If you are transporting alcohol, shampoo and other substances in liquid form in containers larger than 100 ml, they must be checked in as baggage at the airport. It should be noted that the category of liquids also includes substances in a paste-like state and gels - toothpaste, creams, cosmetics, shaving foam, mascara, honey, soft cheeses, etc. This even includes cans, in which 2 /3 of the volume is occupied by liquid. The cost of luggage on an airplane does not change depending on the presence of liquid substances in it.

In hand luggage, passengers are allowed to carry liquid substances in containers with a volume of no more than 100 ml. The total volume of liquid should not exceed 1000 ml per person. Vials must be packaged in a separate bag and placed in a bag. In hand luggage, subject to the above-mentioned standards, you can carry:

The limits of 100 and 1000 ml per passenger do not apply to baby food for feeding on board if a child under two years of age is flying with an adult. Dry cereals, which can be diluted with boiling water on an airplane, are not considered liquids.

Restrictions do not apply to liquid products purchased in Duty Free stores. In terms of weight, they must fit into the carry-on baggage standards and be sealed in a transparent bag that cannot be unpacked until the end of the flight.

For medicines in liquid form, the requirement “100 ml - one bottle” remains. If this volume is exceeded, the need to take the medication is documented. The drug must be in its original packaging so that the safety control officer has the opportunity to examine the composition. Carrying medications containing narcotic substances must be accompanied by a prescription or a doctor’s certificate. On international flights, you must have a certified translation of these documents into the official language of the destination country.

Additional baggage allowance

Passengers with the Basic Economy fare are only allowed to carry hand luggage free of charge. If you need to take with you another bag weighing up to 23 kg, which will have to be checked in at the airport for transportation in the cargo hold, an additional payment for additional baggage is required. Other rates, as mentioned above, include the carriage of 1-2 pieces of luggage. You only need to pay extra if you exceed the permitted limit. To save money, fees should be paid in advance online.

When booking your ticket online, you can pay a 20% discount for carrying an additional bag. If you do this when checking in online at least 4 hours before departure, the discount will be only 10%.

If payment is made later, the discount does not apply.

On S7 Airlines planes you can carry free baggage in the form of one set of snowboarding or skiing equipment per passenger. It may include one pair of skis, boots, poles, snowboard, goggles and helmet. Equipment must be packed in a case and occupy only one place. The maximum weight for economy class is 23 kg, for business class – 32 kg.

Take a sociological survey!

Rules for transporting animals

On S7 Airlines planes, dogs, cats and pet birds are allowed to be carried as hand luggage or additional baggage. Other animals can only be transported in the cargo hold. In this case, it is not possible to add oversized luggage in the form of livestock.

If the animal is transported in the cabin, its weight cannot exceed 8 kg including the container. The dimensions of the cage must be within the normal limits for carry-on luggage in order to fit it under the seat.

It is prohibited to let the animal out of the container during the flight. The pet should also not cause inconvenience to other passengers (unpleasant odors, loud noise, etc.). Free transportation is not provided, so payment is made at the rates for additional excess baggage.

Only passengers at least 18 years old can transport animals by contacting the company's sales offices. The request for transportation must be made no later than 48 hours before the flight. Before flying, your pet should be placed in a hard plastic container or metal cage with access to air. The internal dimensions of the cage should allow the animal to stand up to its full height and turn around itself. The container must be equipped with a rigid closure device and absorbent material at the bottom. Bird cages must be covered with thick, light-proof fabric.

No more than two animals weighing up to 14 kg can be in one cage if they behave calmly. The container is also allowed to transport three pets of the same litter not older than six months or nursing puppies and kittens. It is recommended not to place a strong and a weak animal in the same cage.

The airline reserves the right to refuse transportation of animals in order to limit their number depending on the type of airliner, flight route and commercial load of the cargo hold. In the passenger cabin, you are allowed to transport no more than two cages with pets and birds of non-antagonistic species, so cats and dogs cannot fly on the same flight. Before the flight, the pet must undergo control at the airport veterinary service. Before taking your pet on a trip, carefully read the rules for transporting animals on S7 aircraft.

Transfer luggage

If there is no possibility of a direct flight, you have to get to your destination with a transfer. If it is necessary to change the plane abroad, the passenger is allowed to arrange transfer baggage and a ticket. In this case, at the transfer airport, the suitcases will be transported to another aircraft without additional inspection and registration. A passenger can wait in a closed transfer zone for 24-96 hours, depending on the country in which he is located.

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 172 dated March 3, 2012 “On the simplified procedure for performing customs operations,” transfer luggage is processed only if it does not contain goods subject to mandatory customs declaration when exported outside the Customs Union. A special tag is attached to suitcases and bags, indicating the absence of goods that must be declared when exported from Russia.

If there are goods that need to be declared, baggage transportation is processed only to the transfer airport. The passenger must personally receive their suitcases and rebook them for another flight.

Delays or loss of luggage can occur with any airline, regardless of its category and level of service. The most common reasons are an error by departure airport staff or the loss of a tag from a bag. The passenger, as a rule, discovers the loss only after arrival, when it is not possible to find the suitcase on the conveyor belt. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, it is important to act correctly.

Missing report

To find your luggage, you should first contact the airport employee who is responsible for searching for lost suitcases and bags of passengers. He will draw up a PIR with a description of the lost luggage (size, color, special features, brand, etc.) and begin searching for it. One copy of the document is issued to the passenger.

Tracking process

The search for luggage by airport employees is carried out using the global World Tracer system. It covers almost all passenger airports in the world. If a lost suitcase is mistakenly flown in another direction, it can be found and delivered to the point where its owner is located. In case of loss of a tag, searches are carried out according to the external description, which the passenger indicated in the PIR act.

While waiting, you can periodically check the status of your searches in World Tracer by indicating the PIR act number and your last name in Latin. However, it is not possible to track luggage in this way at all airports. In this case, you should request information from airport employees responsible for the search, or contact representatives of S7 Airlines.

Damage to luggage

If the suitcase was damaged during transportation, as in the previous case, a PIR report must be drawn up indicating all defects. The carrier will not accept passenger claims if they are related to dents or scratches of suitcases, as well as loss of handles and wheels.

Claim for compensation

Compensation for lost luggage by S7 Airlines is paid only after an official investigation has been carried out in each specific case and an appropriate decision has been made.

To initiate an investigation, you must send a written complaint in free form to the company's head office. The document can be delivered in person or sent by registered mail to the address 633104 Novosibirsk Region, Ob, Mozzherina Ave., 10, PJSC Siberia Airlines.

The claim must include detailed information about the baggage. The following must be attached to the document:

• luggage tag;
• PIR act;
• flight boarding pass;
• itinerary receipt (preferably);
• other documents (receipts, checks, certificates, etc.) that serve as substantiation of the stated claims;
• Bank account details for transferring the compensation amount.

Documents must be original or certified copy. In your letter of claim, you must indicate your contact phone number and return postal address to receive an official response.

Passenger customs declaration

Passengers on international flights must fill out a customs passenger declaration if they are transporting in accompanied/unaccompanied baggage across the border of the Customs Union:

• goods with a value of more than 10,000 euros or a weight of more than 50 kg;
• $10,000 cash or traveler's checks;
• securities - bank checks, bills, shares, etc.;
• items of cultural value;
• state awards of the Russian Federation;
• animals and plants that are on the verge of extinction, as well as products obtained from them;
• medical preparations containing narcotic substances;
• radio-electronic and high-frequency devices intended for civilian use;
• technical devices with data encryption function;
• weapons and ammunition;
• goods for personal use, including those received as an inheritance.

Currently, the declaration can be filled out online on the official website of Domodedovo Customs. The document can be immediately printed and sent electronically to the customs terminal.

Some important points

When booking tickets online, the passenger can only include the cost of transporting an additional seat. Check-in of hand luggage and baggage, including additional payment for overweight, is carried out only at the airport at the “Baggage Reception” counter.

If a passenger has a child under 11 years of age, they are given the opportunity to transfer a stroller, bassinet or car seat free of charge if the dimensions of the device do not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm. When the folded stroller does not meet these dimensions, it is placed in the cargo compartment before departure . If there is no child, the stroller is transported subject to baggage allowance.

Firearms and ammunition may only be transported in special metal containers in the cargo hold of an aircraft. To do this, the passenger must submit to the airport security service documents confirming the right to store and carry firearms, as well as permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to export or import them.

conclusions

The baggage requirements for S7 Airlines as of 2019 are dictated by current international and Russian regulations, as well as the technical features of the aircraft used. You should read all the rules in advance. Otherwise, at the airport you will have to pay a significant amount for oversized or extra kilograms. In the absence of permits, the flight may be completely disrupted.

S7 airline hand luggage: Video

Overweight luggage at the airport may cause additional costs. Before you go on a trip, you should find out in advance what cargo transportation standards are accepted by Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and many others, etc.

Weighing luggage at the airport

There are 2 systems:

• weight;
• depending on the number of seats.

If we talk about the first one, then it only assumes that the weight of your luggage will be limited. For example, if you can carry only 20 kg, then without additional payment you can take with you only 2 suitcases, the weight of each should not exceed 10 kg. Anything over 20 kg will be considered by the airline as exceeding the norm. You will have to pay extra for excess luggage.

For example, the airline has determined that 20 kg can be carried. You take 2 suitcases with you. 1 bag - 17 kg, and 2 bags - 11 kg. You need to calculate the total amount, it is 28 kg. Subtract the allowed weight of luggage, as a result you will get the following value: 28-20=8. You will have to pay extra for 8 kg.

There is another system, it takes into account the number of seats. If we talk about a flight in economy class, then passengers have the right to check in only 1 suitcase. Its weight should not exceed 23 kg.

Utair airline baggage costs

For a better understanding, it is worth considering 2 examples.

Situation 1. You took 2 suitcases with you on a trip. You loaded the first lightly - 10 kg, but the second is heavier - 13 kg. Calculating the total weight, you get 23 kg. But it is worth considering that airlines with such a system also limit the amount of luggage. As a result, you will receive an excess of luggage, it is 1 piece.

Situation 2. You have 1 bag, its weight is 28 kg. Although you fit the number of seats, an excess weight of 5 kg will be recorded.

How much does excess baggage cost?

The cost of excess baggage depends on the standards the airline uses as well as the destination. You should always check with the airline for specific numbers. Employees of Aeroflot, Pobeda and S7 companies will always provide assistance to passengers.

The cost of excess baggage may vary from company to company.

If the carrier uses a weighing system, then you will have to pay extra for each kilogram that is recorded above the established limit. Payment is influenced by airline policies and destinations. The cost is calculated taking into account transportation in economy class, and the highest fare is taken into account.

For 1 kg of excess weight, an amount equal to 1.5% of the ticket will be taken. In addition, the air carrier may set a fixed size. Typically, the cost of 1 kg of excess weight varies within reasonable limits; a passenger will be charged from 5 to 10 euros.

For example, you are going to fly from Paris to Berlin. In economy class you can carry a suitcase whose weight does not exceed 20 kg. Your bag weighs 24 kg. We can say that the excess was 4 kg. If the tariff for carrying luggage in excess of the established standard is 10 euros per 1 kg, then you will have to pay an additional 40 euros.

Some companies have restrictions not only on weight, but also on the number of seats. In this case, the cost will be calculated differently. You will have to pay extra for excess baggage space that you occupy and for kilograms carried in excess of the norm.

For example, you are flying from Milan to London, you are entitled to 23 kg of free baggage allowance. Let's say you have a heavy bag, its weight is 31 kg. The airline has set tariffs: if the weight of luggage is more than 23, but less than 32 kg, you will have to pay 100 euros. Keep in mind how much you exceed the norm does not matter. In any case, you will pay 100 euros for an excess of 3 kg and 9 kg.

What to do if you have several suitcases? For example, you took 2 bags with you on a trip. One weighs 20 kg, the other is a little lighter. Let the second bag weigh 14 kg. In this case, there will be an excess, but in terms of the number of places. You will have to pay for 1 more place, usually 50 euros.

Please note that in some situations it is much more profitable to pay extra for 1 piece than to pay for baggage transportation in excess of the established standards. It is recommended to always have a small amount with you, so that the airport staff’s demands will not take you by surprise.

One more example is worth considering. You go on a trip and take 2 suitcases with you. The weight of one bag is 26 kg, and the second is slightly lighter - 15 kg. We can say that airport staff will record an excess not only in the weight of luggage, but also in the number of seats. You will have to pay 100 euros for transporting heavy suitcases. In addition, be prepared to pay 50 euros for 1 additional seat. In the end you will pay 150 euros.

What can be done in such a situation? It is best to put some of the things from the heaviest suitcase into a lighter bag. As a result, you will only pay extra for 1 additional seat.

When planning a trip, pay attention to the fact that the weight of 1 suitcase should not exceed 32 kg. If an excess is recorded, the cargo will be considered oversized. Most airports simply won't carry it; you'll have to handle the shipping yourself. At many airports around the world, baggage handlers will not carry bags that weigh more than 32 kg. They are prohibited from doing this. Explore. Almost every airport provides it, but it is paid.

It is worth paying attention to one more rule. We are talking about coordinating the transportation of oversized cargo. Be sure to notify Utair airline or another carrier, otherwise the suitcase may not be accepted for transportation. The air carrier has the right to do this.

Where to pay

To pay for baggage, if you have exceeded the standards, you should contact specialists. Payment counters are located at all airports. You can find out about its location by contacting the employee at the reception desk. Here you will be told about the cost of baggage carried in excess of the norm.

First, your bag will be weighed. Often, passengers do not even have to pay for a small excess of baggage on the plane. Of course, we are talking about 2-3 kg.

Payment counter for additional services at Domodedovo Airport

Review the information provided to clients. Additional payment for excess weight is possible not only at the airport. For example, in 2020, UTair airlines allows 23 kg of baggage in economy class. Aeroflot has established similar standards. But in economy comfort and business class, 2 additional seats of 32 kg each are provided. Special conditions are offered to participants of the UTair “Status” program. For more information, please contact your airline representative.

The s7 company is the second most popular air carrier in Russia, which is distinguished by a wide variety of services and often receives positive feedback from passengers. The legal name of the airline is Sibir. One of the most popular questions that interests tourists is the rules for carrying baggage s7, and in what cases you will have to pay extra for the service of transporting things.

Baggage is items that are transported separately and cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin, unlike hand luggage. The rules for carrying luggage bags and hand luggage are always different, so you should not confuse these two concepts.

Standards for baggage transportation at the Sibir company

S7 airlines depends on three parameters:

1. Amount of space occupied - free of charge, 1 person can carry one bag or box.
2. Baggage weight – requirements here depend on the chosen fare. The "economy flexible" ticket specifies a free standard for 1 piece of luggage up to 23 kg, the "business basic" fare allows you to carry 1 piece of luggage up to 32 kg, and "business flexible" customers can carry 2 pieces of luggage weighing up to 32 kg without paying. each.
3. Dimensions in three parameters - width, height and length. The free standard for “flexible economy” and business class tickets is no more than 203 cm based on the sum of three parameters.

Participants in the special Priority Siberia program can count on additional baggage space of up to 23-32 kg, depending on the card level. For some routes, the free standard may be increased; details should be obtained by calling the airline at 8 800 700-0707 or +7 495 783-0707.

Also, in addition to the established norm, tourist s7 can carry sports equipment as luggage for free - winter sports accessories, boots, skis, ski poles, helmet. These items are considered in addition to the main baggage. Sports equipment should be packed in a separate case - the free weight for an economy ticket should not exceed 23 kg, and no more than 32 kg for business fares. If the equipment weighs more, you will have to pay for the excess.

When purchasing a ticket from s7 for the “basic economy” class, only hand luggage is free, but baggage transportation is paid according to established standards. Therefore, passengers often do not understand how much luggage costs on an s7 plane if the ticket does not include luggage? Delivery of items in the “basic economy” class will cost 2,500 rubles. You should pay for such baggage when purchasing an air ticket on the official website, or directly at the airport.

When paying for baggage and purchasing a ticket online at the same time, the passenger receives a 28% discount, so he will only need to pay 1,800 rubles. After issuing a ticket, you can pay for the service only at the contact center or at the airport.

It is worth noting that flying with the “basic economy” fare will only be beneficial if you are traveling without luggage. Otherwise, it is better to take a “basic flexible”, where you can choose a seat in the cabin and carry 1 luggage bag for free.

How much does excess baggage cost in other classes? If a passenger requires additional space to transport a bag weighing up to 23 kg and no more than 203 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions, then he will have to pay 2.5 thousand rubles for 1 or 2 seats in excess of the established standard. For transfer transportation - a flight with transfers, the cost increases to 2.5 thousand rubles. For 3 and subsequent seats in excess of the established standard, the passenger will need to pay an additional 7,500 rubles, and for a transfer flight - 15 thousand rubles.

How much will the surcharge be according to the s7 airlines baggage allowance when the bag weighs more than the free allowance, but does not exceed 203 cm according to 3 measurement parameters? More than 23 kg and up to 32 kg - you need to pay an additional 2500 for a direct route and 5 thousand for a flight with transfers. Weight from 32 to 50 kg – payment of 5 thousand for a regular flight and 10 thousand for transfer transportation.

The price of paid S7 luggage if it exceeds 203 cm in three dimensions is an additional payment of 2500 for direct transportation and 5 thousand rubles for transfer transportation.

Features of baggage transportation in S7

Company rules prohibit the following items from being transported:

• Explosives and toxic substances;
• Liquefied and compressed gas;
• Flammable items;
• Radioactive substances;
• Cold steel, gas and firearms, with the exception of cases regulated by the law of the Russian Federation;
• Poisonous chemical compounds;
• Oxidizing agents;
• Other items that could create a critical situation on board an aircraft.

Baggage delivery rules s7 allow transportation in limited quantities - collectible weapons and weapons for hunting, household scissors - with a volume of no more than 5 liters and a strength of no more than 70%, or alcohol with a strength of up to 24%, aerosols for household or sporting purposes with protected caps - no more than 2 kg per person, internal combustion engines.

What is not recommended to be carried in checked luggage? In order to protect your belongings, it is better not to take fragile items, jewelry, computers and laptops, mobile devices, banknotes, securities and documents, perishable items, keys, etc. into your luggage.

There is a distinction between oversized and heavy luggage. Oversized luggage is considered to be luggage that exceeds 203 cm in terms of width, height and length. Items that exceed the norm of 32 kilograms are considered heavy. The decision to deliver such items is made by the airline, and the decision depends on the fullness of the cargo compartment and the type of aircraft. Before the flight, you should check the information about your luggage by calling the contact number or sending a request using the feedback form.

If a tourist transports things through the Customs Union, then he should familiarize himself with the transportation rules in advance. Detailed information is available on the Domodedovo customs portal. You can also fill out a customs declaration online on the portal.

Before sending luggage, tourists should carefully pack their bag or suitcase. Each piece of checked baggage must be securely packaged to ensure maximum safety of your items. You cannot combine two separate pieces of luggage into one package. It is not permitted to transport luggage with sharp objects protruding from the packaging or the integrity of the packaging has been compromised.

These are the main points that tourists should remember. Please keep in mind that after checking in your luggage until it is released, it will not be possible to use it, so it is better to take the things you need for the flight into the cabin of the aircraft.

The size of the cargo that the passenger wishes to take on board the aircraft is referred to in the air service as hand luggage S7 Airlines. By default, carry-on baggage on an airplane is assumed to consist of a compact bag, personal handbag and similar items. To avoid disagreements, each carrier publishes a list of luggage items permitted for air transportation, indicating the dimensions. There is a basic standard, but the final standards for aircraft vary, as each airline has the discretion to determine its own carry-on baggage allowance. Dimensions and weights of S7 carry-on luggage have been developed and updated for 2020. Every traveler who has purchased a ticket for S7 must familiarize himself with the information in order to avoid problems and disappointments due to baggage not being allowed.

S7 standards for the carriage of hand luggage

In the full version, baggage allowances, as well as luggage, are declared on the official website of the airline at. Here are the most current paragraphs of free transportation on planes:

For one air ticket, you are 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 take into account here that it is impossible to divide hand luggage into 2 pieces. Even if a passenger packs 2 small pieces, one of them will have to be checked into the luggage compartment.

Limits depending on fare class

Dimensions and weight of hand luggage C7:

• Basic Economy level tickets allow carry-on luggage in the cabin according to the rule described above. This is 1 bag weighing 10 kg with dimensions of 0.55 x 0.4 x 0.2 m;
• “Flexible Economy” tariffs provide for standards similar to “Basic Economy”: 1 piece = 10 kg, 0.2 x 0.4 x 0.55 m;
• the next class is “Basic Business”. Here, 15 kg of luggage is allowed in the cabin with the dimensions specified in “Economy Basic” and “Flexible”. It is possible to divide the load into 2 places;
• the latest tariff is “Flexible Business”. The rules for the size of hand cargo in this class are the same as in “Basic Business” both in terms of weight, and in the division of places up to two units, and in dimensions.

The size of hand luggage on S7 airliners is designed for the convenience of all people flying on the flight. To transport luggage, there are shelves with compartments in the cabin for storing space. The aircraft's cells are long - each is designed to meet the needs of half a row of tourists. Therefore, if the norms of three dimensions are not met, then people will not be able to fit their luggage, or rather, there will not be enough space for someone. Consequently, the degree of nervousness on board will increase, and not a single air carrier wants to allow this.

List of things allowed for carriage in hand luggage

The bags that tourists take with them on the plane undergo mandatory inspection, so they must contain only permitted items. Otherwise, either the person will not be allowed on board, or the traveler will have to part with part of the carry-on luggage, leaving it with the accompanying person or simply throwing it away.

The following luggage is allowed on the plane:

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

The last allowance for hand luggage is relevant when a child is flying with an adult and needs additional things. As with disabled people, bulky items must be folded down to a compact size and fit either under a seat or on an airplane shelf. Airport terminal employees have the right to weigh any item of hand luggage and check for correct dimensions.

What cannot be carried as baggage in the cabin

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

It is important to know that you must arrive at the airport with your 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.

Cost of luggage carried into the cabin

When hand luggage meets airline standards in size and weight, it is transported free of charge according to transportation standards. As for overweight or oversized luggage, you can’t just pay extra and then take the seats with you into the cabin. Otherwise, there will be an imbalance of either justice or security. 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 allowance, then the third person will not be able to exercise their right to free transportation. There will be no room left for his luggage.

If you are allowed to transport things weighing 15-20 kilograms or more, then problems may arise when lifting with your hands to a height of 2 meters. And if, due to carelessness, such a place falls from the top shelf of the plane, it can cause significant harm to the health of one of the tourists. Carriage of oversized and heavy pieces of hand luggage under the seat is prohibited by air transportation rules. Therefore, it is enough to pack the excess and put it in the luggage compartment. To be sure, upon arriving at the airport, you need to go to special equipment with restrictions and evaluate your carry-on luggage for compliance with the standards.

   Hello. I understand 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.

This article will discuss what you need to know when planning to fly anywhere with S7 airlines (formerly Siberia).

S7 airline compares favorably with many others on the air transportation market with its relatively low fares, a large number of serviced destinations, as well as full hand luggage, which you can take with you on your flight for free if you pay for a ticket at any fare, even the most economical one. This carry-on luggage of the S7 is one of the main competitive advantages, so we’ll start with it.

Size of hand luggage at S7 airline

The size of hand luggage at S7 airline is almost the same size as that of many air carriers, however, there are still differences, although not significant.

So, the permissible dimensions of hand luggage for transportation in the aircraft cabin in 2019 are 55x40x 23 centimeter

We specifically highlighted the number 23 in bold because... for many it is 25 centimeters. The S7 has a couple of centimeters less.

The weight of hand luggage must be:

• - no more than 10 kilograms for economy class;
• - no more than 15 kilograms for business class.

This is a standard situation. And, although FAP-82 prescribes a minimum free hand luggage of 5 kg, many companies did not change the usual conditions for their passengers, for which we thank them very much!

Carry-on luggage did not meet the dimensions or weight requirements. What then?

There are two options here. Either think about how to lighten/reduce it, or you’ll have to check it in as luggage. We will talk about how this is done and how much it costs in the section about checked baggage.

What is prohibited from being carried in hand luggage at S7?

In S7 hand luggage, in principle, it is forbidden to carry the same things as other airlines. In order not to write a long list, we will simply list the categories of items and substances prohibited for carriage in hand luggage.

1. Various piercing and cutting objects (knives, knitting needles, syringes with needles and just hypodermic needles without a medical prescription, corkscrews, etc.). By the way, a straight razor is also a dangerous piercing object, so it is not allowed in hand luggage.
2. Transportation of hazardous liquids, explosives, poisons, gases, etc. is also prohibited. Among the gas-containing items, you can bring a lighter on board. With a reservation - one per person. There will be an explanation for liquids even below.
3. Tools, weapons, imitation weapons and dangerous objects are also illegal.
4. Strong and narcotic medications without a doctor's prescription.

It will be more expensive at the airport.

Good news for those who like to relax at ski resorts!

What is prohibited from being carried in baggage at S7 Airlines?

Weapons, explosives, poisons, hazardous liquids, gas cylinders, including scuba cylinders, radioactive substances and other items that threaten flight safety are prohibited for transportation on S7 airlines.

Obviously, if you are flying on vacation and bringing shorts, swimming trunks and an inflatable ring, no one will say a word to you. But if, for example, you are flying to go diving or spearfishing with your own equipment, you may not be allowed onto the plane with all your equipment, and not out of harm, but solely for safety reasons.

In this section, we will simply talk about why you should not take something on a flight, even if it is on the list of permitted items.

1. Bouquet of flowers.

There is such a rule, but keep in mind that if you take this bouquet abroad, they may require a certificate, which you will not have. As a result, you will throw the flowers in the trash, it’s good if you don’t pay the fine for transporting prohibited items.

Also, people flying with you on the plane may be allergic to flowers. Naturally, the crew does not need problems on the entrusted board; accordingly, the flowers will be confiscated from you and thrown away.

2. Knives allowed for transportation in hand luggage.

There is a narrow list that can be carried. However, if at the security control they decide that this knife does not meet the standards, they will throw it away and you will be left without a knife.

3. An animal that does not tolerate flying well.
