The carry-on baggage allowance on Vim-Avia flights is determined by the class of passenger service. So, for economy class it is one piece weighing no more than 5 kg and parameters no more than 55 × 40 × 20 cm. For business class, the carriage rate is traditionally higher - two pieces of baggage with identical weight and parameters. You can place hand luggage in the cabin either under the front seat or on the shelf above yours.

Passengers also have the opportunity to carry certain items on board for free that are not part of their carry-on baggage. The list is pretty familiar: handbag / briefcase, umbrella, cane, outerwear, reading materials in flight, garment bag, laptop, camera, camcorder, and so on. Disabled passengers may bring crutches or a wheelchair. Those who are flying with a small child have the opportunity to take a carrycot or a folding stroller with them.

Checked baggage

In addition to carry-on baggage, passengers can carry a certain amount of checked baggage. For economy class, this total figure is 15 kg. It is worth noting that the airline's website indicates the figure of 20 kg, but it also includes 5 kg of hand luggage. The situation is the same with business class: 20 kg of luggage excluding 10 kg of hand luggage.

It is important to keep in mind that on some flights the baggage allowance may be higher. To obtain the relevant information, you must contact the support center.

As for sports equipment, including ski equipment, in the amount of one unit per passenger. Ski equipment can be transported free of charge, provided that its total weight does not exceed 15 kg in addition to the allowed baggage allowance. Also, all parts of the equipment should be packed in covers. Moreover, any sports baggage is checked in directly at the airport at the oversized baggage counter.

Carrying oversized baggage is fraught with the need to pay extra for each kilogram of excess weight. If the total weight of the luggage exceeds 32 kg, then it is drawn up as heavy. If the total weight is more than 50 kg, then the baggage is registered as cargo and paid accordingly.

Below we will consider only the most important points...

  • All animals can only be transported on board if accompanied.
  • The weight of the animal (taking into account its "temporary home") should not exceed 8 kg (this requirement applies both to the board and to the cargo compartment).
  • The mass of such "cargo" is not included in the weight allowance for general baggage, which is carried free of charge. Payment is made taking into account the tariffs typical for excess cargo.

In general, there should be no more than four of them.

Outcomes

Overweight baggage at the airport can incur additional costs. Before you go on a trip, you should find out in advance what norms of carriage of goods are accepted by Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and many others and.

Weighing baggage at the airport

There are 2 systems:

  • weight;
  • depending on the number of seats.

If we talk about the first, then it assumes only 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 only 2 suitcases with you, 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 baggage.

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

There is another system that 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 baggage cost

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

Situation 1. You took 2 suitcases with you on a trip. The first one you slightly loaded - 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 baggage. 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 in the number of seats, there will be an excess of 5 kg in weight.

How much does excess baggage cost?

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

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

If the carrier uses a weighing system, then you will have to pay extra for each kilogram that will be fixed in excess of the established limit. Payment is influenced by airline policies and directions. The cost is calculated taking into account transportation in Economy Class, with the highest fare taken into account.

For 1 kg of overweight, an amount equal to 1.5% of the ticket will be charged. Alternatively, the carrier can set a fixed size. Usually, the cost of 1 kg of overweight fluctuates within reasonable limits, from 5 to 10 euros will be charged from a passenger.

For example, you are going to fly from Paris to Berlin. In Economy Class, you can carry a suitcase weighing less than 20 kg. Your bag weighs 24 kg. We can say that the overweight was 4 kg. If the fare for carrying baggage 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 adopted 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 the extra baggage you occupy and for the excess kilograms carried over.

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

What if you have multiple suitcases? For example, let's say you took 2 bags with you on your trip. The weight of one is 20 kg, the other is a little lighter. Let the second bag weigh 14 kg. In this case, there will be an excess, but already by the number of seats. You will have to pay for 1 more seat, usually 50 euros.

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

Another example is worth considering. You go on a trip, 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 the airport staff will record the excess not only in terms of the weight of luggage, there will be an excess in the number of seats. You will have to pay 100 euros for transporting heavy suitcases. Also, be prepared to pay € 50 for 1 extra bed. As a result, you will pay 150 euros.

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

When going on a trip, pay attention to the fact that the weight of 1 suitcase should not exceed 32 kg. If an excess is recorded, then the cargo will be considered oversized. In most airports, it will simply not be transported, you will have to deal with sending things on your own. In many airports around the world, movers will not carry bags weighing more than 32 kg. They are forbidden to do this. Explore. Almost every airport is provided, but it is paid.

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

Where to pay

To pay for baggage, if you have exceeded the standards, you should contact the specialists. The payment counter is located at all airports. You can find out about its location by contacting the employee at the front desk. Here you will also be told about the cost of excess baggage.

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 additional services at Domodedovo airport

Examine the information it provides to clients. Possible surcharge for overweight not only at the airport. For example, in 2019 UTair airline allows you to carry 23 kg of baggage in Economy Class. Aeroflot has established similar norms. But in the class of economy comfort and business, 2 additional places of 32 kg are provided. Special conditions offered to the participants of the "Status" program of the UTair company. Detailed information can be obtained from the representative of the air carrier.

How to avoid exceeding the norms

If you travel quite often, then it makes sense to purchase hand scales... This way you will always know the weight of your suitcase. To avoid overweight, it is recommended to do the following:

Example of a scale for weighing luggage

Find out the cost of business class tickets. Such tickets are offered by Aeroflot and can be purchased at UTair.

Passengers, having purchased such a ticket, have the right to carry a lot of things. You are given the opportunity to take 2 places, transport 2 times, 32 kg each.

Of course, such tickets are expensive, it's easier to just pay extra for an overweight. Nevertheless, it is still worth studying the information of air carriers.

Explore the offers that are available to the airline's customers within bonus programs... High status travelers can carry heavy suitcases. With a weighing system, you will be able to carry an additional 10 kg of baggage on the plane. With a system that takes into account the number of seats, you will be entitled to 1 additional piece with 23 kg of luggage. Such privileges are provided to members of the bonus system who have received a silver or gold status. Uteyr and Aeroflot have developed special offers for passengers who frequently use the services of air carriers.

Take an extra bag with you on your trip. If the need arises, you shift things into it.
