The size of hand luggage is 5 kg. hand luggage
Hello friends. Important news today. After November 5, 2017, new rules for carrying baggage and hand luggage on flights of Russian airlines come into force. If earlier each carrier had its own requirements, now the rules will be the same for all Russian airlines (except for the Pobeda low-cost airline).
Attention! Once again: the law is only for Russian airlines. All other airlines have their own rules, consistent with the laws of their state.
The rules to which airlines and we, passengers of aircraft are subject, are called the "General Rules for the Air Transportation of Passengers, Baggage, Cargo and Requirements for the Service of Passengers, Consignors, Consignees". They were adopted on June 28, 2007 by order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. Since then, the rules have been amended. But the rules were very different and vague. For some carriers, they were generally too rigid.
On October 5, 2017, a new law No. 409 was issued to amend the document. The changes affect everyone who uses air transport, i.e. and us.
It is clear that there are many interesting details in the law, which we will not talk about. Today we will talk about the most important thing, about what everyone who wants to take a flight with the help of a Russian airline will face.
Let's agree on terms
- Baggage - suitcases, bags or boxes that we weigh at check-in and check in as luggage.
- Hand luggage - things packed in a bag, briefcase, backpack or package that we take with us to the cabin of the aircraft and on which the “hand luggage” tag was hung.
- Things that we take into the cabin of the aircraft and which have not been tagged. (Laptops, cameras, gadgets, clothes, flowers, baby food, crutches, canes, etc.)
There are many interesting details in the law, which we will not talk about. And we will tell only about the most important thing, about what an ordinary tourist who wants to take a flight with the help of a Russian airline will face.
The law comes into force on November 5, 2017. This means that everyone who buys tickets after November 5 is subject to these amendments.
For those who have already bought tickets in advance (before November 5), the law does not apply. So it is written in the same rules.
The most important thing about the new flight rules
General requirements that are important to us as travelers relate to baggage allowances and carrying items in the cabin. Let's try to clearly explain these rules so that you have no questions left, and understand what pluses and minuses we have.
Baggage requirements
Earlier: the maximum weight of one piece of baggage must not exceed 32 kg.
Now: a new requirement has been introduced - the weight limit for 1 piece of baggage is 30 kg for all air carriers. Less is possible, more is impossible.
1 piece of luggage is one suitcase. If you rent a large backpack, then this is 1 backpack, if a bag, then this is 1 bag.
But! This does not mean that now on any ticket you can take 30 kg of luggage. Here is an important point, it depends on which fare ticket you bought. Simply put, an economy class ticket has fewer opportunities than those who took, for example, a business class ticket.
All baggage by weight can be broken down:
- Up to 10 kg, from 10 kg to 30 kg, over 30 kg
- Baggage up to 10 kg - free
Previously, the free baggage allowance for different companies was different, now it is the same for everyone.
This means that no company can write in their rules: "It is allowed to carry baggage weighing no more than 3 kg (or 6 kg or 7 kg)". The norm is 10 kg for everyone! You yourself are not obliged to gain exactly 10 kg, you can take less, at your discretion, but the company cannot set you a lower baggage weight limit.
Baggage weighing from 10 to 30 kg
Here are the nuances. As before, you need to go to the carrier's website and read its rules - how much should your baggage weigh in accordance with the fare of your ticket. This means that "the upper limit can be - 23 kg, 25, 27 to 30 kg. If the company rules for your fare indicate an upper limit of 23 kg (that is, you can carry no more than 23 kg for free), and when weighing the scales showed more of your suitcase at check-in, then you either need to take something out and leave it, or pay extra for the excess.
Excess baggage
Baggage that is not included in the price of your fare ticket is considered excess baggage.
Example: you bought a ticket Moscow-Vladivostok tariff "Economy flexible". The ticket price includes baggage weighing up to 23 kg. If your luggage weighs more than 23 kg, but does not exceed 30 kg, then this weight is considered excess and you will have to pay extra for it.
Check the airline's website for how much it will cost.
Luggage weighing 30 kg
Usually, a passenger who has bought a business class ticket can carry that much for free. At this rate, the passenger has more opportunities.
Baggage over 30 kg - Heavy baggage
Anything over 30 kg that does not fit the standard dimensions is considered a heavy load. Surcharge for each kilogram goes at a special rate for "heavy cargo". Each company has its own rates. Read on the company's website in the rules (section "Baggage Carriage"). This is required information.
Perhaps this is the main thing.
Baggage free ticket
I will add that many companies still have a baggage-free fare. This is when you do not take luggage at all and fly only with hand luggage. Tickets for it are cheap, but there are inconvenient nuances. The main one is that such a ticket is non-refundable.
Consolidated baggage
It also remains possible to combine the things of two or more travelers into one baggage (put all things in one suitcase - 1 piece of baggage). The weight of such luggage should also not exceed the same 30 kg.
What are the pros and cons we have in connection with the introduction of amendments?
Pros: There were standard norms for all. The main one is that you can take free luggage weighing up to 10 kg. Here the norm has increased and we feel better.
Minuses: baggage weight limit to the maximum: instead of 32 kg, you can now take baggage weighing no more than 30 kg
Friends, now we are in Telegram: our channel about Europe, our channel about Asia. Welcome)
Hand luggage - new norms
Earlier: different carriers have their own requirements. For example, for some: you can take no more than 3 kg in hand luggage, for others - no more than 4, for others - no more than 5 kg, and for some up to 10 kg.
Now: The hand luggage allowance for all carriers is at least 5 kg per passenger. For us, this means that we can take less than 5 kg, but more than this weight hand luggage is prohibited. At the same time, the carrier can change this figure upwards at its own discretion. Those. you still need to read the rules, because some companies can set a limit of 6, 7 kg per person or even 10 kg, which, of course, will please us.
Also, keep the dimensions in mind! Those. your hand luggage must fit not only into the norms for weight, but also for size (length, width, height). Dimension standards, as before, must be found on the carrier's website. There are no changes here.
Earlier: we could check in hand luggage and, in addition to it, carry laptops, cameras and cameras with us on the plane for free.
Now: All this is included in hand luggage.
In other words, it is impossible to carry separately:
- telephones;
- laptops;
- cameras;
- documents in folders;
You have to put them in bags. Their weight is also taken into account when calculating the weight of hand luggage.
Is the laptop in a bag or suitcase? You don't need to pay anything. Do you want to carry it separately? You are due.
If earlier hand luggage was weighed only at check-in, now it can be weighed before boarding itself (apparently in cases where the bag is suspicious). This is important for those who took few things with them, checking them out as hand luggage, and buying "baggageless" tickets.
Attention! Your hand luggage can also be weighed at the port of arrival!
Minuses this innovation: now at home you will have to carefully weigh your hand luggage and make sure that there is no overweight.
Pros: The aircraft cabin will be less busy. All your carry-on luggage will go into the luggage compartment in the cabin of the aircraft and you don’t have to worry about whether your things will have enough space on the shelf or not.
Updated 19.02. 2018: In connection with the increasing complaints of passengers about the lack of space for hand luggage in the aircraft cabin, Aeroflot tightened control over hand luggage. You can read about it Here.
What things can be taken on the plane and not checked in as hand luggage
And before, and now you can take with you the things you need during the flight or immediately after landing. They are not checked in as hand luggage and do not require additional payment.
Here is their list. The list will be supplemented, but definitely will not be able to cut:
- handbag, knapsack, briefcase;
- bouquet of flowers;
- your clothes (jacket, coat); If we fly from a country where +27 degrees in our winter, where -27. Or vice versa, such an additional package with things is very relevant.
- special children's food; But no more than what is needed for the flight.
- specially packaged suit;
- cane or crutch;
- a baby stroller or cradle, which, when folded, fits under the seat in front of the chair;
- walkers, which, when folded, are placed under the seat in front of the chair;
- a medical chair for those who find it difficult to move around.
Familiar positions? They were previously allowed for free transportation. The list has now been expanded:
- sealed bag from dutyfree;
- medicines, everything necessary for medical reasons for the passenger.
And once again, what is now forbidden to be transported separately:
- phone, laptop;
- an umbrella, even a small one;
- paper in a folder;
- newspapers, books, magazines;
- camera, camera.
What are the pros and cons of all this?
Pros: The minimum carry-on baggage allowance has increased to 5 kg.
Minuses: The maximum weight requirement for hand luggage has been reduced from 10kg to 5kg. Laptops, cameras, documents will have to be considered as hand luggage.
I think we will get used to the new norms and come up with something. Other countries already have experience, you can use their life hacks.

There are people who figure out how to carry more things in the cabin and not pay for it. One option is a vest for an air passenger. Interesting idea.
Common Questions
What happens if I refuse to pay?
Refusing to pay for something that can no longer be carried free of charge? For example, a laptop. It's simple - you may not be allowed on board. Of course, they will tell you about it. And they will give you a second chance to pay. But, we do not advise you to take risks - they will simply cancel your ticket if you insist.
Paid more than you carry. What to do?
Only if the overpayment is due to the number of seats, the money will be returned to you. If you paid for 2 seats, but used only one, you will be refunded.
Hand luggage weighs more than allowed. Is it possible to pay extra?
No! It's a matter of passenger safety. If it does not fit in the weight and dimensions, they will not be allowed to carry it with you.
If the carrier does not follow the new rules
These innovations are relevant for everyone. You see that they are violated - you can contact Rospotrebnadzor. To do this, you need to keep all the tickets and receipts that you receive. Don't pay extra without a check! You can get compensation, and the carrier will be fined.
The rules have changed, perhaps something has become less convenient for us. But, if you think about it, you can find the right "luggage combination"!
From the main point, this is probably all. If you still have questions regarding the nuances (oversized cargo, baggage consolidation, money back, etc.), we highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with rules(study changes in the order “General Rules for the Air Transportation of Passengers, Baggage, Cargo and Requirements for Servicing Passengers, Consignors, Consignees”) and deal with your specific case. There are a lot of errors and misleading information on the websites and even in the CT video. Use the original!
Our "Victory"
Pobeda Airlines is a subsidiary of Aeroflot and positions itself as a low-cost airline.
On the territory of Russia, today, this is the only low-cost company, so its requirements are slightly different towards minimalism.
Proceed from the fact that the essence of the low-cost is to reduce the price of a ticket as much as possible, i.e. make it cheap, then the rules of Victory will become clearer to you.
Low-cost airlines (from the English "low-cost" (low-cost) - low costs) - a type of airlines that operate on an unconventional transportation model that involves the provision of very cheap air tickets.
(he travels in the luggage compartment of the liner) and hand luggage (things that you take with you to the cabin).
The rules for their transportation differ from each other, both in terms of payment and content.- some things cannot be hand luggage (their list will be presented by any air carrier), some - luggage.
How many kg can I carry on an airplane in luggage? There are two systems of restrictions: by the number of places in the cargo compartment and its weight, as well as simply by weight.
If we turn to the experience of the most popular Russian air carrier, then a few years ago Aeroflot took into account only the allowable weight: they put all the box bags on the scales, determined by the size of the excess of the established norms - and the traveler paid for excess weight (if any) strictly on rates.
Today there is a check not only in terms of weight, but also in terms of the number of luggage pieces.
There are established standards:
- a business class passenger can carry (without paying) two pieces, each of which is not heavier than 32 kilograms;
- For those flying in economy class, only one piece of luggage will be accepted for free delivery, and the allowed weight of luggage on the plane should not exceed 23 kilograms.
To better understand this scoring system, imagine yourself as an economy class passenger. Your luggage on the plane - how many kg are allowed?
You took two suitcases with you to the airport - 13 and 10 kilograms, and it seems that you have met the limit (two suitcases were pulled by 23 kg), but you won’t be able to do without an extra charge: an economy class passenger has the right to only one piece of baggage, for the following, you will be required to pay in the amounts established by the tariff scale.
Business class rules, although the traveler has the right to carry two pieces of baggage free of charge, their weight is not cumulative.
If you have a couple of suitcases, and their weight is distributed as follows: 44 and 20 kilograms, do not expect that the total weight of 64 kg will save you from additional costs.
You will have to pay extra for a 44-kilogram cargo, since it is heavier than the 32 kg specified in the transportation rules, which you can take.
Previously, the passenger paid extra for each specific extra kilogram. Today there is a fee of fifty dollars for any excess. A business class passenger will have to pay twice as much.
If the rules have changed once, then who can guarantee that they will not change again? The main conclusion that the traveler should draw, analyzing this situation, is the need to be interested in the rules in advance.
Read the information on the ticket(traditional or electronic). For most companies, the ticket indicates how much cargo passengers carry for free, what is the maximum weight of bags on the plane per person (Russia or foreign carriers).
What will be the amount of additional payment for excess cargo for those companies that have not switched to a fixed “penalty”?
Even if it is included in the so-called code-share agreement: cooperating, carriers are not required to adhere to uniform rules regarding the carriage of things.
First of all, it concerns tariffs. For example, the cost of overweight in one kilogram Lufthansa will have 12 euros, Alitalia will have 21, and Qatar Airways will have 47.
Some companies may even refuse to accept excess cargo if they did not take care to solve this problem in advance.
"Sky Express", for example, will not give the go-ahead until it is convinced, whether there is additional free space in the cargo compartment and whether the limit on the permissible weight has ended.
"EasyJet", unlike the main Russian carrier, allows you to sum up the weight two travelers and, with a limit of 20 kg, allow one to declare 18 kg and the other 22, at no additional charge.
Some companies (for example, RyanAir) have seasonal fares. In addition, there is a big difference between the amounts for suitcases that you lay out at the airport or pay when placing an order on the company's website.
Knowing the rules about how many kg you can carry on an airplane in luggage with different people, what is the allowable weight of suitcases per person on an airplane, will not only save you from unexpected problems, but also help save money by taking advantage of any bonuses - seasonal discounts or special programs.
Air travel is the fastest, most convenient and reliable way of transportation and transportation, allowing a passenger and his luggage to move from one place to another in just a few hours, despite the great distance of these places from each other. However, the specificity of air travel allows people to be transported only to those airlines and airports that fully comply with generally accepted international standards of security measures.
In order for a passenger to be issued a boarding pass, he must strictly comply with the strictest flight rules, which also include baggage on board the aircraft. This is done for the overall safety of all passengers and the aircraft.
The presented rules are binding on absolutely all passengers, regardless of the purpose, nature of the trip or the prestige of the cabin class in which you are flying.
In other words, this is a set of organizational issues aimed at ensuring the comfort and speed of the flight. And the transportation of luggage is one of the most important organizational moments, which must be taken especially responsibly in order to exclude the occurrence of possible problems.
Carriage of luggage on the plane for 2019
As for the carriage of baggage, it is worth noting the following right away: the rules providing for this process do not have a single world standard, so there are options for them, which are influenced by a number of factors.
First- the country you are flying to, since each state has its own rules and standards. For example, when going to Dubai, in no case should you take with you (and not only in your luggage, but also with your hand luggage and in your pockets) objects and literature of a religious nature that are not related to Islam.
Second- the choice of airline affects the baggage allowance. In addition, the class of the purchased ticket (for example, economy or business class) and the type of aircraft affect the allowable baggage weight.
In order to avoid unnecessary difficulties and problems during the check-in of baggage, it is necessary to find out all of the above points during the process of purchasing tickets. If you have non-standard baggage, you should find out in advance the rules for its transportation.
The first step is to find out which items and things that you want to take with you can be transported by plane, and which are classified as prohibited.
However, despite the differences in some rules for the carriage of baggage, all airlines have and general baggage rules used in all countries of the world.
General baggage allowance on board an aircraft
1 - first you need to make sure that the suitcases or bags that you will check in for separate places are in good condition and integrity (the absence of various kinds of cuts and slots) in order to exclude damage to the things in them and neighboring luggage during their transportation.
For reliability, you can wrap your luggage in cellophane wrap yourself. The same procedure can be done directly at the airport for a small fee. We recommend doing this! By doing this, you definitely will not stain or tear your suitcase or bag.
2 - each airline has its own rules, which set the weight and size of checked baggage and unchecked (hand baggage). If you exceed any of the parameters, you will have to pay extra.
3 - you should remember the list of things that are strictly forbidden to be carried on board the aircraft. Not in luggage, not in hand luggage!
What you can not complete your luggage and hand luggage
- Corrosive and caustic substances. These include: all types of alkalis, acids; mercury and devices containing it; rechargeable batteries with liquid cells;
- All kinds and types of gases: flammable and non-flammable, compressed, liquefied, poisonous;
- Objects, solids and liquids that have the ability to ignite, which include: matches, lighters and liquids for refilling them; solvents, paints and other paints and varnishes; substances capable of spontaneous combustion or which emit any gases upon contact with water, as well as other substances and objects prone to ignition;
- Substances that have oxidizing properties, such as peroxides and bleaching powder;
- Any types of explosives, items and products from them, as well as weapons: pistols, rifles, machine guns and other types of small arms, firearms and ammunition for it, including empty shells and detonators; fireworks, flares and similar articles;
- Radioactive substances and objects that emit radiation;
- Toxic, poisonous and infectious substances, which include: herbicides, pesticides, insecticides; laboratory materials and samples containing live viruses; subjects of etiology;
- Suitcases and briefcases equipped with alarm devices.
- precious metals;
- jewelry;
- securities;
- money;
- keys;
- glasses;
- fragile things;
- perishable products.
Leave them at home, or take them with you in hand luggage!
Total baggage weight and carry-on baggage
Things and items that are allowed to be transported directly in the passenger cabin of the aircraft are called hand luggage, which is often transported in small bags.
Naturally, the purpose of these restrictive measures is to ensure an adequate level of safety for the aircraft and its passengers throughout the entire flight.
For this reason, most airlines impose a ban on the carriage in hand luggage of items such as:
- Knives and long scissors (and sometimes even nail scissors);
- corkscrews;
- Knitting needles;
- Needles for injections, including hypodermic, excluding prescribed cases;
- Razors, blades and other piercing and cutting tools and objects.
In addition, there are some restrictions on the carriage of liquids in hand luggage, such as:
- Shampoo;
- Gel;
- Perfume;
- Spray;
- Mascara;
- cream;
- Water, as well as soft drinks.
According to the rules, the listed liquids and substances are allowed to be carried in hand luggage only in small quantities (up to 100 ml) and only in sealed packages (more accurate data is provided by the specific airline that provides you with services). Exceptions include baby food and liquid medicines to be consumed in flight. Exceptions also apply to liquids and goods purchased from duty-free shops ( Duty Free).
As for the weight of luggage and hand luggage, certain limits also apply here. For hand luggage, the weight range ranges from 7 to 15 kg for 1 piece. For luggage, the allowable weight is on average 20–30 kg.
There is also a list of items and things that a passenger has the right to carry with him in the cabin of the aircraft free of charge, even if they exceed the permissible weight limits (20 kg) of unpaid baggage:
- Briefcase or handbag;
- Umbrella;
- Folder for paper;
- Cane;
- Bouquet of flowers;
- Crutches and a wheelchair for the transportation of a passenger with reduced mobility;
- Mobile phone;
- Outerwear and a suit in a suitcase;
- Printed publications for in-flight reading;
- Video camera and camera;
- Laptop;
- Baby cradle for transporting a child.
Items from the list are not marked, weighed and presented for clearance.
Regarding the transportation of non-standard and oversized items, such as musical instruments, sports equipment and others that are not included in any of the lists, you must contact the representatives of the airline in advance.
As can be seen from everything written, baggage transportation is a rather complicated process, and in order to avoid problems, it is better to take care of all the measures and requirements in advance.
If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments. Please check the details of your flight and luggage: flight direction, amount of luggage, etc. We, in turn, will try to answer everyone as soon as possible.
Dear passengers, the rules of carriage are not written to limit your rights, but to ensure that your flight is safe. Don't ignore them!
And finally. It should be remembered that it is better to arrive at check-in 2 hours before departure in order to ensure a good mood and prevent possible difficulties.
Today, air travel is the most convenient and fastest way to travel. However, even those who fly not for the first time often face a number of specific questions. Some of the most common are related to the transportation of luggage - how many kg of luggage can be carried on an airplane for free, what norm is considered acceptable and how many kilograms can be taken on an airplane per person.
Before boarding the plane, any passenger will have to go through the baggage weighing procedure. Only some things that a person takes with him to the aircraft cabin are not taken into account - this is a handbag, phone, laptop, crutches, a wheelchair and a cane. Each company has its own established rules, and if the luggage weighs more than a certain norm, then the passenger will have to pay according to the tariffs.
How much can one person carry for free?
Most airlines accept the following free baggage allowance rates:
- Economy class passengers can carry up to 20 kg;
- Business class passengers up to 30 kg;
- When buying a first class ticket, you are allowed to carry up to 40 kg.
Usually this rate is calculated from the total weight of baggage and hand luggage. But some companies do not count hand luggage when calculating, so you should check the rules with your carrier. It is worth remembering that these are average values, the norm is set by a particular company.
You should also take into account the length of your baggage. For economy class passengers, baggage must not exceed 158 cm, and for first and business class no more than 203 cm.
In addition to weight control in airlines, there is also an assessment of baggage by the number of pieces. Also an important condition is the choice of class when buying a ticket, since the more expensive and higher the class, the more loyal the conditions for the transportation of things.
To successfully transport your own things, you should consider some rules:
- Baggage weight cannot be combined. Suppose two people are flying and carrying luggage in the amount 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 of 3 extra pounds.
- 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.
- Transportation of non-standard luggage must be coordinated with the airline, some things are allowed to be carried for a fee, some for free. For example, skis or a bike are usually calculated as one piece without taking into account weight and length.
Free baggage allowance per airline
Transaero
Transaero uses the following principles for determining the weight of baggage: the first group - all flights, except for transatlantic ones, the second group - it includes destinations to America, Brazil and Canada. In the first group, up to 20 kg of free baggage can be carried by passengers on a Tourist ticket, up to 25 kg can be carried on an airplane in Economy class, up to 35 kg can be carried free of charge on a business ticket, up to 45 kg when buying an imperial class ticket.
If we talk about the second group, then there are two free baggage pieces weighing no more than 25 kg for tourist and economy classes, for business class tickets there are two baggage pieces of 32 kg each, imperial class passengers are allowed to carry baggage in the amount of three pieces weighing not more than over 32 kg each.
If baggage exceeds the established number of kilograms, then the excess fee will be from 100 to 150 dollars, depending on the weight.
If you are going to fly on S7 flights, you must take into account the following rules: economy class passengers are allowed to carry hand luggage weighing no more than 10 kg, paid baggage - no more than 23 kg, in economy class Flexible hand luggage should not exceed 10 kg, and baggage allowance is limited to 23 kg.
When buying a ticket for the basic class, you are allowed to take hand luggage for two pieces with a total weight of not more than 15 kg, and one free piece of baggage weighing no more than 32 kg is also provided.
If the weight of one piece of baggage exceeds 23 kg, then the passenger will have to pay an extra fee of 25 euros on average, and if the baggage weighs more than 32 kg, then you need to pay about 50 euros.
Aeroflot
Aeroflot has the following baggage allowances: when buying a business class ticket, you can carry 2 pieces of baggage no more than 32 kg each, comfort class and premium tickets provide for two pieces no more than 23 kg each, and in economy tickets it is allowed to carry 1 piece no more than 23 kg.
On an Aeroflot plane, you can take hand luggage weighing 10 kg for economy class passengers and 15 kg for business class.
If, when transporting baggage with Aeroflot, the weight exceeds 23 kg, but not more than 32 kg, then the passenger will have to pay 50 euros for flights within Russia and 100 dollars for flights to a number of other destinations. If the baggage weight exceeds 32 kg, but not more than 50 kg, then the passenger must pay 100 euros for flights within the country and 150 dollars for other destinations.
They regulate the number of bags and their total weight., and also relate to items permitted or prohibited for transportation in the aircraft cabin.
Today, almost all airlines have increased the weight of a bag that can be taken into the passenger compartment to 10 kilograms, although this figure is not specified in the rules.
If earlier the inspectors at the inspection turned a blind eye to the number of bags and packages, then in 2016 only 1 bag is allowed on the plane.
This does not apply to a handbag and a small men's briefcase for documents.
Restrictions apply to. The acceptable standard is 55 x 20 x 40 cm.
But usually companies regulate the total length of the sides and limit only on it - a maximum of 115 cm.
This is due to the fact that the bag may have non-standard sizes.
At the same time, for example, an oversized large musical instrument may well be transported in the cabin. But in this case, the rules dictate the need to purchase a separate seat for him (passenger).
Luggage may include animals- in a special container, but only small ones.
Items that are considered additions:
- laptop;
- mobile, photo and video equipment;
- musical instruments;
- clothes in a bag;
- baby food;
- assistive devices needed for people with disabilities;
- press - magazines or newspapers;
- armchairs, strollers for children under 2 years old, as well as a removable cradle from a stroller, if they do not fit into the permitted dimensions;
- jewelry;
- everything purchased in Duty Free stores, including alcohol, is allowed to be carried on board in a transparent sealed bag.
not weighed or tagged.
Items Prohibited or Restricted for Carriage in the Cabin
In addition to them, they are banned:
- any objects with which an attack can be committed, in particular piercing and cutting;
- sports equipment (baseball bat);
- weapons, including toys;
- hand tool;
- medicines;
- liquids (water not more than 100 ml);
- aerosols.
Features of the transportation of liquids
If parents are flying with a small child, they are allowed to bring on board more than 100 ml of water.
In addition to water, liquids, as required, include all cosmetics and perfumes (lotions, perfumes, shampoos, sprays, etc.). As well as soups, drinks, yoghurts, jams, syrups and homemade preserves.
If you don't want to put them in checked baggage, which would be much easier, they must be packed in a transparent bag. Generally their volume should be no more than 1 liter.
Medications
As far as drugs are concerned, the rules in this case are that restrictions apply mainly to liquid preparations.
To ensure that there are no problems during the inspection, Better get a doctor's note, where he indicates the disease that the passenger suffers from, as well as the medicine and the schedule for taking it.
So, for example, people with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus should act, who should regularly take injections.
Children's hand luggage
Usually children under 2 years old without a separate seat are also entitled to luggage but less weight.
One of the parents can take a baby stroller only instead of the luggage put to him.
But on condition that, when folded, it will not interfere with other passengers.
Hand luggage - airline rules
It is better to know exactly what a given air carrier requires than to hastily get rid of some things or pay for excess later.
In addition, there are items that will pass through our pre-flight inspection, and they will be prohibited from being imported into the country where you are flying. To know this for sure, you need to read the customs regulations of the country of entry.

Check with your airline for weight restrictions.
Russian low-cost carrier Pobeda allows free transportation of 1 piece of baggage up to 10 kg and with a size of 158 cm in three dimensions.
However, the option does not apply to a child under 2 years old. Additionally, it is allowed to take everything that is stipulated by the general rules.
Charter flights also set their own rules carrying bags in the cabin (in Russia and abroad), which may differ from the general ones.
The norms on such flights should be checked with the tour operator who uses the services of a charter company.
To avoid excesses at the pre-flight inspection, the bag that you plan to take with you to the cabin can be weighed and measured on special devices at the airport. In this case, it will be possible to redistribute things in advance.
