The permissible weight of hand luggage on the plane is important to know!

Flights are bought, suitcases are collected, and you are ready to go on a business trip, study, travel or vacation ... However, you must have heard or observed the very situation - already at the check-in desk, a person suddenly finds out that the weight of his baggage exceeds the standard set by the airline . The mood is spoiled, and for excess we have to pay, and a very tangible amount. Of course, something you can take with you on board the aircraft. But how many of us know the permissible weight of hand luggage in your airline's airplane? These issues we will consider in our article, so that the "suitcase question" does not overshadow your trip.

Transportation of luggage in an airplane is a common thing, because few people fly without luggage at all. Each carrier independently establishes the rules for its reception - one you can take a 30 kg suitcase without giving a penny, another pay for each kilogram of excess of such cargo. Of course, you can take a small bag with you on board, but the weight of hand luggage is also strictly regulated by the airline. However, remember that if you are traveling with a child under the age of two (without buying a seat), 10 kg is added to the free baggage allowance.

As you know, all airlines allow their passengers to carry one baggage seat, only its allowable weight differs. However, most international airports are of the opinion that one such place should not be more than 32 kg. Thus, if you carry 35 kg with you, you will have to buy one more ticket! At once we will make a reservation, as for this traveling economy class, for business clients two baggage seats are automatically reserved.

Now let's talk about what you take with you on board the aircraft, that is, we will discuss directly the weight of hand luggage. The plane can take a bag from 5 to 10 kg, depending on the requirements of a particular airline. The following items are not included in this standard and are considered to be an addition: orthopedic accessories (cane, crutches, etc.), a women's handbag, outer clothing, a bag with a laptop or camera, a blanket.

So, let's consider the requirements of the most popular air carriers of our country in the economy class to carry baggage and maximum weight of hand luggage. On the plane of the Russian "Aeroflot" you can take up to 10 kg (dimensions up to 115 cm), in the luggage you can deliver up to 23 kg (up to 158 cm). If you did not meet the stated rate, pay extra for the prepayment (inside the RF / foreign flights): up to 32 kg - 50/100 euros, the second seat will cost fifty euros in both cases. If the weight of the baggage is more than 32, but less than 50 kg or the cargo is oversized (its size is more than 203 cm), be sure to check with the carrier beforehand.

TRANSAERO Airlines does not specify the weight of carry-on baggage on the plane on its flights, and baggage can be up to 20 kg or 25 kg on charter and economy flights, respectively. Dimensions of the cargo in both cases not more than 203 cm.

Traveling with the carrier "S7 AIRLINES", you can carry free of charge luggage weighing up to 20 kg, and take with you up to 7 kg in dimensions up to 55 × 40 × 20 cm.

"Ural Airlines" and "UTAIR" with regard to baggage are also limited to 20 kg, and hand luggage should not be heavier than 5 kg.
