Aeroflot magazine august. Aeroflot magazine was recognized as the best aviation on-board publication in the country. Decent selection of other prints

Air transport is the most popular form of transport for most passengers, because with the help of an airplane you can quickly, comfortably and conveniently get to any city in the world. As a rule, passengers first draw up a travel itinerary, then purchase tickets for an airliner and, as a last resort, start collecting the necessary items that may be useful during the trip. But few people think about what should be the allowed weight of baggage in the economy class of Aeroflot, and it is the services of this air carrier that travelers most often use.

This approach can hardly be called correct, because if the weight or size of the luggage exceeds the permissible limits, tourists will have to pay a fine for each extra kilogram, as a result, a pretty decent amount will turn out, which not everyone will want to part with. In order to prevent this incident, it is imperative to know what size of baggage should be on an Aeroflot plane in economy class and what a passenger can, according to the rules, keep with him.

The things carried can be completely different, what they will be depends on:

• travel destination;
• season and time;
• personal preferences of the tourist.

But be that as it may, all citizens who prefer to travel by air must know exactly about the weight and size of items that the air carrier allows to transport without payment and be able to choose the right bag for things in order to make their own travel convenient and, of course, not to pay overweight.

General baggage rules

So, according to the air carrier's rules, baggage transportation in Aeroflot in economy class should not exceed the permissible size:

1. Passengers can use one free place to carry things if their weight does not exceed 24 kg, and the overall dimensions, that is, width, length and height, should not exceed 159 cm.
2. For carry-on baggage not exceeding 10 kg, a free space is also provided if its dimensions do not exceed 116 cm.
3. For the excess of things, passengers are required to pay a fine, regardless of which flight route is chosen.

Air carrier "Aeroflot" obliges the passenger to pay about 100 euros if the overweight is 33 kg, and if necessary, register the second place, you need to pay about 50 euros.

Only passengers are responsible for the safety of all things taken with them to the cabin; the airline declines responsibility for these goods. In order for personal luggage to remain intact, tourists need to adhere to the following rules:

• if it is necessary to leave, you should not trust personal belongings for the safety of those persons with whom passengers are not familiar;
• do not take hand luggage into the cabin that an unfamiliar citizen asks to transport. If such a situation happens, then the incident must be reported to the employees of the airline or the police;
• if the passenger's belongings were lost or the luggage was damaged, this must be reported before the tourist leaves the airport;
• you should remove the old tags, and instead attach new ones, on which you need to write your contact phone number and your initials. The presence of tags will help passengers find their own belongings faster in an emergency.

In contact with

Baggage (including baggage in the cabin) carried by passengers is presented during the check-in process for the flight.

Please be aware that the class of service and direction of flight have a direct impact on the rules for free baggage allowance.

The airline can accept baggage on its own responsibility (checked baggage). In this case, things are marked with a baggage tag.

Attach a name tag to each such piece of baggage. The tag should indicate the phone number, date, flight number and surname (in Latin letters).

On all its own routes, Aeroflot provides a simplified scheme for determining the standard for free baggage transportation. This is a piece system. It is differentiated depending on the tariff used and / or class of service.

Checked baggage allowance at Aeroflot

Business class: checked baggage - 2 pieces of 32 kg each, hand baggage - 1 piece no more than 15 kg.

Comfort class: checked baggage - 2 pieces of 23 kg each, hand baggage - 1 piece no more than 10 kg.

Economy class, Premium group: checked baggage - 2 pieces of 23 kg each, hand baggage - 1 piece no more than 10 kg.

If the total weight of baggage (baggage in the cabin including) is not more than 10 kg, then no restrictions on the number of pieces of baggage are imposed.

If all flights are operated on Aeroflot flights, then the presented rates are valid for transportation along the entire route. The exception is flights shared with other airlines. In this case, the baggage allowance of the carrier airline is valid (section "Codeshare flights"). The rules of the dominant carrier on the route are valid when the carriage is carried out on flights of 2 or more carriers, including codeshare flights.

Exception: on Aeroflot codeshare flights operated by Rossiya and Aurora airlines (see the Code-Sharing Flights section), the applicable free baggage allowance for Aeroflot flights is valid.

Special rules / exceptions for free checked baggage transportation at Aeroflot

For flights in economy class to / from Delhi, Beijing, Shanghai, Hanoi, between Tel Aviv and New York, Tel Aviv and Washington, Yerevan and Sochi, as well as for transporting crews of sea vessels - 2 seats.

For flights in economy class between Tokyo and Moscow, Tokyo and St. Petersburg - 2 seats.

For business class flights between Tokyo and Moscow, Tokyo and St. Petersburg - 3 seats.

A flight to another city or country is characterized by the presence of luggage at the passengers. After all, such voyages usually involve a trip for several days. Of course, airlines have special rules for carrying things on the plane. Since the carrier "Aeroflot" in Russia is considered the leading airline, we will find out what standards this airline has set.

Not so long ago, the Aeroflot group adopted new rules for passengers - a 1pc baggage allowance was introduced. What does this mean? Passengers who have been flying for a long time are accustomed to the fact that the things checked in to the luggage compartment are controlled by the carriers by the weight of the luggage. However, Aeroflot changed the existing procedure and introduced standards for free transportation of oversized bags for each seat occupied on board.

Considering that passengers take some of the things on board with them, and the rest of the luggage travels in a special compartment of the liner, several systems for cargo transportation are known. If the weight norm is set, the ticket contains the abbreviation "K". Flights on which the transportation of things takes place individually, the ticket is marked with the symbols "P" "RS" or "N". Moreover, before the letter designation, the carrier indicates a number that indicates the number of pieces of luggage allowed for such transportation.

The abbreviation "pc" itself is taken from the English transcription of the phrase "Piece Concept". This system is widespread in the European part of the world and is gradually adopted by many companies in the Russian Federation.

In Russia, one of the first carriers to use such a control system was Aeroflot. The 1pc baggage allowance actually means that the passenger has the right to take one place for things in the baggage compartment for free. Accordingly, marking 0 pc implies the absence of the possibility of free transportation of things. In addition, in addition to these rules, carriers put forward special requirements, which provide for the size and weight of the passenger's belongings.

Free transportation conditions

Let's discuss the rules according to which a passenger can successfully transport his suitcase to the desired point on the planet. After all, the compliance of the luggage with the established rules of the airlines guarantees the absence of misunderstandings when passing the control at the airport. Each carrier sets its own regulations, but most companies use international and time-tested restrictions. Typically, these rates vary depending on the flight class.

The most stringent requirements are traditionally applied to passengers who have chosen economy class... Here, customers bring on board things, the sum of the dimensions of which does not exceed 1,150 mm, and the weight is ten kilograms. As for things that do not fall under these parameters, the rules governing the carriage of baggage come into effect. Aeroflot offers airline customers the opportunity to carry a bag whose combined dimensions are up to 1,580 mm and the weight reaches 23 kg.

Passengers who fly in the cabin with increased comfort or first class are allowed to carry a bag with a weight of up to 15 kilograms on the liner. And the weight of the suitcase, which will be sent to the luggage compartment, is increased to 32 kg. Regarding the dimensions of luggage and luggage, the figures are the same as for customers flying in economy class.

If you are staying on a flight offered by the Pobeda company, which is part of the Aeroflot holding, keep in mind that the standards are lower here. Since these airlines are a low-cost airline, accordingly, saving on everything, including baggage transportation, becomes a priority for the carrier. Moreover, there are no free places for things in the aircraft cabin at all - you will have to travel with the only item that the client chooses from the list of personal belongings. And in the luggage compartment it will be possible to carry a bag free of charge, whose dimensions are up to 1,580 mm in the sum of the sides with a weight of less than 10 kg. Purchases made in duty-free shops will have to be paid separately on the basis of: package - 700 rubles for domestic flights or 10 euros for international flights.

Determine the number of places for luggage

When purchasing a ticket from Aeroflot with the marking "1 pc", people are interested in the number of luggage that can be transported. As we said, the norm provides for one free seat in the luggage compartment, but does not exclude additional payment for "extra" things if you have purchased a ticket to an economy salon. Although there are some nuances here.

Air tickets that involve payment for seats of economy prestige or economy comfort class give the passenger the opportunity to take two free seats in the cargo compartment. But here it is important to meet the weight requirements - each bag is no heavier than 23 kilograms. In addition, Aeroflot invites customers traveling on long-haul routes to take 2 control pieces of baggage. The second seat is available for economy class passengers who present a silver or gold company card.

Finally, the total weight of things up to 10 kilograms does not limit the airline customer in the number of places occupied by the baggage. However, in such a situation, it is unlikely that additional space is required for luggage.

Business class passengers have the right to occupy two free zones in the cargo compartment of the liner. In this case, the weight of the bag is up to 32 kg. Please note that the figure shown is an international standard. In some countries of the world, movers are prohibited from unloading baggage weighing more than this value.

A little about carry-on luggage

In a situation when it comes to things "with you on the liner", the airline gives passengers the opportunity to take only one seat, regardless of the amount of the ticket and the class of service. The difference here is only in the weight of the luggage and its dimensions. Business class flight involves a bag that weighs up to 15 kg. Traveling in an economy cabin allows for the transportation of items whose weight is no more than ten kilograms.

However, airlines operate in the spirit of global trends and allow you to bring additional items into the cabin. There are no restrictions for carrying women's handbags, men's diplomats, umbrellas, one laptop or camera per passenger, umbrella, outerwear or Duty Free package. This list is complemented by special equipment for sedentary people or items that are designed to care for an infant. True, the items are supposed to be presented at the control and receive a company tag. In addition, only one position can be selected.

Bonuses for "shortfall"

In exceptional cases, situations are likely when a person flies without things. Here passengers have a question whether they will be able to save on the air ticket price in this way. Unfortunately, Aeroflot does not yet provide such an opportunity. The company's policy is simple - the cost of a cheap ticket presupposes certain luggage standards, which can be carried for free. And if the client does not use the given opportunity to the full, this fact does not mean the carrier's obligation to compensate for the absence of things.

Therefore, when planning to fly with this airline, visit the official airline portal and check the current rules. Here you will find a description of seat markings, a list of additional items for carry-on baggage and other points that should be taken into account before the flight. This link will allow you to view such information.

Too much baggage

Now let's consider the opposite situation, when the size and number of things that the client of the company plans to take on a trip exceeds existing requirements... Moreover, the employees of the company evaluate all three parameters: dimensions, weight and number of occupied places. The passenger has the right to independently evaluate the payment method and choose the preferred option.

Exceeding the established norm implies an additional payment for excess baggage

If the number of seats is exceeded, for an additional area in the compartment, the client adds 2,500 rubles for a domestic flight or 50 euros / $ when it follows international flight... The third and next places increase the amount up to 7,500 rubles. within the country and 150 units of freely convertible currency on international routes. Payment for the extra weight of things assumes the same amount for a domestic flight for a weight of 25 to 50 kg, and for exceeding this level it will be 5,000 rubles. But on interstate flights, you will have to pay 100 euros and 150 euros, respectively.

When, when traveling in Russia, the sum of the measured sides of the suitcase is up to 2 meters and 3 centimeters, the passenger pays 5,000 rubles, and exceeding this parameter will entail a loss of 7,500 rubles. Similar figures for flights abroad assume an additional payment of 100 and 150 euros.

As you can see, assessing things based on the criteria of the occupied space is the preferred option for the passenger.... Here additional expenses are minimal, especially if the carrier's norm is not significantly exceeded. Therefore, it is advisable to pack two different bags at home if you are going to transport items in such quantities that will cause unnecessary expenses.

Child rate

Flying with children raises many questions for first-time passengers. Here Aeroflot offers the following conditions. For a child over 12 years old, parents will need to pay the full price for a seat. Accordingly, baggage and carry-on baggage standards are calculated here as standard.

For children traveling with their parents, special fares and baggage allowances apply

As for babies under two years old, airlines offer parents to save money and fly with a child in their arms. True, some flights will require an additional payment of 10% of the ticket. Moreover, for one child of this age, it is permissible to carry a bag weighing up to 10 kilograms at no additional charge.

Specific cargo

When it comes to transporting things that do not fit into the standard framework, you should clarify the conditions of transportation with a company employee. It is optimal to notify the carrier 36 hours before departure and agree on the nuances. There are usually no problems with the transportation of sports equipment, musical instruments, fishing equipment. True, the items will need to be packed and presented at the control.

The carriage of pets is subject to the rules on special conditions for the carriage of baggage

It will be possible to take a pet weighing up to 8 kg on board the liner. The animal travels in a special container, and the owner will need to present required documents pet. The only exception to this rule will be a guide dog. The animal accompanies the owner, provided that the person cannot do without him. Pets weighing 8-32 kg travel in the hold.

Keep in mind that oversized items are often not taken on board for technical reasons. Therefore, try to comply with the company's requirements in order to minimize personal expenses and not face an unpleasant situation during check-in.
