How many kilograms of a suitcase on a plane for two. Baggage and hand luggage

Issues related to baggage allowed for air transport are quite exciting for many. After all, the rules are constantly changing, some of them are being tightened. And for many passengers, the size of luggage on the plane is of fundamental importance. Therefore, it is worthwhile to study the issue in advance, so that later on the delivery of bags in luggage and when weighing hand luggage there were no major problems.

Today, carriers use two systems, taken as the main ones, which allow for the final settlement of the transportation of bags and suitcases. This:

  1. Weight system
  2. By number of seats

The first option is often used on flights that depart through the CIS countries and to Asia.

An important point in the measurement system is allowable weight, i.e. one that is free of charge. The gradation of the number of kilograms directly depends on the ticket class. The following rules apply today:

  • 20 kg per passenger in economy class
  • 30 kg - in business
  • 10 kg per child up to 2 years

In the first system for calculating how much luggage you can take on board, the following principle works - a passenger can take as many bags as they like, but their weight should not exceed the allowable standard. You will have to pay for all the extra pounds.

The second system implies that the minimum free kilograms must be packed in only one bag or two, if it is provided by the class of the ticket. That is, if the suitcase is filled with 10 kg, it will already take up the allowable number of seats, and for the second suitcase or travel bag that is not related to hand luggage, even if it is filled with 5 kilograms, you still have to pay. This calculation option is used for the most part in America. Of the Russian companies, Aeroflot recently introduced a similar scheme. In such a calculation system, the bonus is the fact that there is a little more free baggage allowance:

  • For the economy - 23 kg
  • For business - 32 kg

It is important to understand here that if passengers go on a trip together, their baggage cannot be summed up. Everyone is responsible for himself. As a result, if the bottom one has an advantage, and the other one has a shortage of kilograms in a suitcase, the first one will have to pay extra for the excess.

There is also a bonus for regular customers of the airline - they are provided with benefits on membership cards and for miles in the form of providing an additional number of seats on board the aircraft, or the option of adding a kilogram to the total weight of luggage is allowed.

Luggage dimensions

Baggage dimensions, even for transportation in a special compartment of the aircraft, must be taken into account. So, it is considered standard and acceptable for transportation without any additional procedures, except for weighing, a suitcase, which in the sum of its width, length and height is 1.58 m. This measure is valid for a system that takes into account the number of seats. In the weight system, this indicator should be equal to 2.03 m.

If your luggage goes beyond the limits, for example, you are taking skis, a bicycle and other oversized items with you, they will have to be checked in at a separate counter, and in some cases you will have to pay extra. The luggage on the plane in terms of size and weight in 2018 has the same parameters, but it is worth remembering that the situation may change.

After all, the principles for determining the baggage allowed on board are determined by the carrier itself. And you should regularly look through the relevant section on the airline's website or call hotline so as not to get into trouble.

Excess baggage

Baggage, which by weight or number of seats exceeds the norms stipulated by the ticket, is called excess baggage. And in most cases you will have to pay extra for it. There are, of course, carriers that allow a small excess - a kilogram or two - without surcharge. But for the most part, for every kilogram in excess, you will have to give money. The cost of excess baggage varies from carrier to carrier. It is worth clarifying in advance how much money you will have to pay for an overabundance of things, if there is no opportunity or desire to lay out the excess.

Heavy baggage

Special attention is paid to luggage that weighs over 30-32 kg. This is called heavyweight. This includes those options that go beyond the allowable dimensions:

  • Skis and sports equipment
  • Musical instruments such as guitar or double bass
  • Appliances such as oven or refrigerator

Such goods can only be transported by agreement with the carrier - he should be notified in advance. On the day of departure, you must arrive in advance, because. the check-in of such baggage takes some additional time. At the same time, it should be understood that the air carrier may refuse to carry baggage, for example, if the baggage compartments are small or there is no more space in them.

Fragile luggage

There is a need to carry fragile luggage - glass, decor elements, paintings, etc. In this case, you will also have to draw it up separately and put an appropriate mark on the cargo. If the baggage fits the dimensions of hand luggage, the best solution would be to carry it with you into the cabin - this will ensure the integrity of things.

The issue of carrying hand luggage in 2018 does not lose its relevance. Moreover, the data on it is constantly changing. The amendments made to the law are now working. Previously, up to 10 kg of free weight was included in hand luggage, now from 5. But at the same time, air carriers independently determine how much weight they are allowed to carry on board. So, major airlines countries said they would remain at 10 for the time being - and both for regular tickets, and for non-returnable ones.

In general, on average, there are such options for carrying hand luggage:

  • In business class - 1 seat weighing 15 kg
  • Economy - 1 piece 10 kg

It is important to take into account the dimensions of the bag so that it fits all the restrictions. So, hand luggage should be packed in a bag 55 cm high, 40 cm wide, 20 cm thick. Some carriers, such as Aeroflot, plan to check the compliance with the dimensions using special limiting frames, which will allow you to immediately determine all the necessary parameters.

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.

For the passenger to be given boarding pass, he must strictly comply with the strictest rules of flight, which also includes the carriage of 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 rules baggage transportation 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!

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.

Traveling by plane is fast and safe, thanks in large part to the existence of clear baggage allowances and rules. Each passenger has the right to take on board a strictly defined number of things, the dimensions of which are carefully checked before boarding.

Since the conditions of carrier companies vary and change regularly, before flying in 2020, it is worth clarifying how many kg you can carry on an airplane for free. We have collected the current requirements of popular airlines.

Free transportation by law - 2020 amendments

The legislation of the Russian Federation defines the standards for the carriage of hand luggage and baggage on board airliners of domestic companies. The norms are given in the text of the Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation of 2007. The regulation was amended on January 14, 2020, and we will consider them below.

Do not confuse baggage and hand luggage. The first one is transported to cargo hold, the second - in the cabin. The law determines that the carrier sets the minimum space.

However, there is a clarification: when one piece of baggage is included in the ticket price, its minimum weight must be 10 kg per person. The maximum weight of the place is 50 kg. If the suitcase or bag weighs more, the difference must be paid at the company's rates.

When buying a plane ticket, check whether it is included in its price free luggage. Legislation allows selling tickets without enabling this option. All you can count on in this case is the free carriage of hand luggage weighing up to 5 kg.

Hand luggage refers to any items not included in the list of objects prohibited for transportation in the cabin. Their dimensions and maximum weight are determined by the carrier.

List of exclusions

If your suitcase, bag or other item exceeds the dimensions or weight allowed by the airline, they will have to be transported in the baggage compartment for an additional fee. In addition to those that make up the list of exceptions:

  • A small bag, briefcase or backpack, the characteristics of which fit into the standards established by the air carrier;
  • Flowers in a package;
  • Baby food, the amount of which is limited by the flight time;
  • Suit in a case;
  • A baby stroller, car seat or carrier, the parameters of which are no more than those allowed by the carry-on baggage allowance of the carrier company;
  • Medicines and diet food for the duration of the flight;
  • Special devices for physically disabled passengers;
  • Goods purchased in duty-free.

Electronic gadgets are excluded from this list, so their transportation in the cabin is paid separately. But most passengers prefer to carry them in a suitcase in the cargo area.

Free baggage on Russian aircraft in 2020

So, on board any air carrier, a passenger is allowed to take 5 kg of hand luggage. If the ticket includes a piece of baggage, then you can still carry a suitcase or bag that weighs up to 10 kg in a special compartment. These are the minimum numbers.

The maximum weight is determined by the carrier. The amount of free kilos may still depend on the class in which you are flying. Let's ask how many kg of baggage you can carry in the cabin in 2020, depending on the company.

Victory

The popular Russian low-cost airline not only offers us cheap tickets, but also an increased hand luggage allowance. You can take things with a total weight of up to 10 kg free of charge into the cabin of airliners "". Their dimensions should not exceed 36x30x4 cm.

The measurements of the suitcase carried on board the airliners "" without payment, in total should not exceed 158 cm. The hand luggage data is clearly indicated: length up to 55 cm, width - up to 40 cm, height - up to 25 cm.

The number of pieces and kilograms of baggage is determined by the ticket class. Business class passengers can take two seats, each weighing up to 32 kg. Holders of comfort class tickets and Economy Maximum fares also apply for two seats, but their maximum weight is less - only 23 kg. Standard economy class entitles you to only one baggage weighing up to 23 kg. Economy Light does not include free baggage allowance

In business class, you can carry hand luggage weighing up to 15 kg, on other fares, its weight should not exceed 10 kg.

S7/Siberia

How many kilograms can be transported on liners of a cheerful bright green color? The company also divides the norms for free transportation depending on the class of the passenger seat:

  • Business Basic allows you to carry hand luggage weighing up to 15 kg and baggage up to 32 kg with the same amount of parameters as Economy Flexible;
  • Business Flexible repeats the conditions of the Basic "fellow", but at the same time the number of luggage places is doubled.

Ural Airlines

A complex system of tariffs and norms, which is more clearly studied in the table. All figures are in kilograms.

A passenger who flies by plane must distinguish between checked-in baggage and hand baggage. These are completely different concepts, and if you distinguish between them, you can save a lot. Baggage is a large suitcase that is checked in upon boarding. It must be verified and registered. Hand luggage is a travel bag or backpack that a passenger can carry on board. It can be of such weight and dimensions that you can put it in place yourself. But how much hand luggage you can take on a plane and what exactly can be placed in such a backpack depends on the airline's standards.

What can be carried in hand luggage?

    Medicines and baby food. Meals must be separately packaged and must be presented at check-in. But in order to carry medicine on the plane, you need to have the appropriate prescription with the seal and signature of the doctor. This is especially true for aerosols and preparations that contain narcotic substances.

    Liquids. Here, some air carriers limit the volume very strictly. You must contact the airline in advance for information. To freely transport a certain amount of liquid, you need to follow some rules. All tubes must be packed in one bag. Any liquid substances must be carried in containers, and their volume must not exceed 100 ml. The tube of liquid itself should be packed in a plastic bag with a zipper.

    Hygiene products. You can take almost everything, but most of them are liquids, which is why they are transported according to the relevant rules. But aerosols are not allowed at all.

    Electronics. You can take any gadgets with you on the plane. They are personal belongings, not hand luggage, so they are not included in the 10 kg weight limit. During landing, they usually check large electronics: a laptop or a camera.

    Food. You can take any food on board the aircraft - dry or solid. But with regard to conservation, there is a restriction on the liquid.

    Duty free zone. This issue must always be considered separately. Everything that you buy directly at DutyFree before boarding can be transported, as long as you do not break the packaging. The only thing is that all this fits into a weight of 10 kg. If your hand luggage exceeds the volume, then you will have to pay a fine.

In addition, many airlines allow you to take personal items with you, the list of which includes: umbrellas, pillows, blankets, handbags, books, and so on.

It is forbidden to take:

    Liquids up to one hundred milliliters in volume.

    Hazardous chemical or biological substances.

    Dangerous objects, weapons.

    Products of animal origin, except sandwiches.

    Explosive items.

How much hand luggage can I take on a plane

If a passenger is traveling in economy class, he can carry a bag for one piece of luggage with him on board the air transport, and in business class it is allowed to take two full seats.

The term "one place" means a bag with the sum of the sides in three dimensions (width, height, length add up) up to 115 centimeters. The standard flight bag measures 55*40*20. But the weight of different air carriers may be different. It may depend on the distance or proximity of the route, or the type of aircraft. For example, Aeroflot allows the carriage of up to 10 kg of hand luggage, KLM - about 12 kg, Lufthansa - up to 8 kg. At the same time, do not forget that you will lift your bag into place on your own.

Most carriers in Europe and the CIS countries consider the weight of hand luggage in the range of 8-10 kg as the norm. Before the flight, it is necessary to clarify this information with the company so that you do not have to pay extra. Some air carriers allow overload, others force you to buy second place even with a slight overweight of 300-500 grams.

Some Canadian and US carriers provide a full two pieces of carry-on baggage, even for economy class passengers. This is a great way to save money.

In order not to pay a fine, you must definitely familiarize yourself with the requirements of the airline regarding personal belongings and how much hand luggage you can take on the plane.
