Changes to the laws were made back in the fall. Airlines continue to adjust their rules to suit them. And passengers are surprised, indignant, overpay and waste their nerves at airports. So what is the current size and weight of carry-on luggage on an airplane?

It seemed that the scandals associated with the introduction of baggage-free fares and new rules for carrying hand luggage on airplanes had died down. But a wave of reposts and indignations has just swept across social networks: they say that Aeroflot has cut the list of things that can be taken on board for free by three times, and even excluded mobile phones from it!

Let's figure out who cut what and what. And the main thing is what Russian passengers can take on board and what size and weight of hand luggage is currently allowed on the plane.

WHAT IS HAND BAGGAGE

This is what we take with us into the cabin of the plane. Whether it’s a bag, a backpack, a small suitcase, a plastic bag, a basket, a picture, a knapsack... A small dog, by the way, does not apply to carry-on luggage; there are special rules for transporting animals. Unlike hand luggage, we hand over our luggage at the check-in counter at the airport and it does not fly with us, but in the luggage compartment.

MINIMUM REQUIRED BY LAW

Back in November 2017, the changes that the Ministry of Transport made to the Air Transportation Rules by its order came into force. Important! The rules state the MINIMUM. Airlines do not have the right to make conditions worse, but it is a matter of their goodwill to make conditions better - as much as they want.

But first, about the minimum requirements:

5 kg is the weight of hand luggage, which a passenger is guaranteed to be able to take on board any Russian airline for free. The order does not prohibit airlines from maintaining more generous norms (for example, allowing hand luggage weighing 10 kg - such a norm applies, say, to Aeroflot and S7). And, of course, 5 kg must comply with aviation safety standards (that is, liquids - in containers up to 100 ml, no weapons, piercing or cutting objects, and so on).

! The list of things that a passenger can take on board for free has been changed IN ADDITION to the free hand luggage allowance. It contains: handbags, briefcases, backpacks, baby food and strollers, a bouquet of flowers. Outerwear, fortunately, they also decided not to exclude it from the list of free things. It was not included in the first version of the amendments, and this caused confusion among experts and tourists - how can one fly without jackets and fur coats in our northern country, especially in winter? Officials listened, outerwear remained free. Also on the list - crutches, walkers, canes, folding wheelchairs, if they fit under the seat or on a shelf above it.

! Mobile phones, cameras, laptops and other gadgets, as well umbrellas and books, were excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free ABOVE the carry-on baggage allowance. Argument of the Ministry of Transport: they can be put away in a handbag, briefcase or backpack. With a mobile phone - no problem, you can put it in your pocket, and it’s lightweight and won’t create an advantage. But a professional camera or laptop taken together may well do so. IMPORTANT! The fact that phones and other gadgets have been excluded from the list of free things does not mean that they will certainly charge you for a cell phone or tablet when boarding a plane. It’s just that they, along with all things, must meet the standard that applies to a given carrier. There are no more exceptions for gadgets.

But this list included medicines, duty free purchases and backpacks, which is really useful. True, there is a clause in the order about backpacks: the weight and dimensions of “free” backpacks are set by the carrier.

! Airlines can weigh hand luggage not only at the check-in counter, but also when boarding the flight. Technically it is not difficult. Nowadays, many airports have limits that control the size of things: if it fits, take it on the plane; if not, check your luggage. They can also place scales at the boarding gates. It is clear that only those bags and backpacks that raise doubts about their weight will be measured and weighed, and not everything in a row. This is no longer from the order, but from common sense - it is not profitable for the airline to delay landing.

Now let’s look specifically at each airline: who operates strictly according to the “living wage”, and who left or introduced more generous standards for hand luggage.

"AEROFLOT": WE MEASURE AND CHECK

In addition to this, a Utair passenger can take into the aircraft cabin for free:

- backpack dimensions no more than 40x25x20 cm, weight no more than 5 kg, or handbag, or a briefcase with things put into a backpack, or bag, or briefcase;

Bouquet of flowers; outerwear; baby food for the child during the flight; suit in a suitcase;

A device for carrying a child (baby cradle, restraint systems (devices) for children under two years of age, baby stroller and other devices) with dimensions no more than 65x40x20 cm;

Medicines and dietary meals for the duration of the flight;

Crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, folding wheelchairs used by a passenger and having dimensions that allow them to be safely placed on a shelf above the passenger seat or under the seat in front of them;

Items purchased from duty-free shops at the airport, packaged in one sealed plastic bag, weighing no more than 3 kg.

Among the differences: more generous sizes of a backpack and a baby stroller, the size of a duty-free bag is not limited (although here little depends on the passenger, what kind they will pack in the store).

"VICTORY": INCONSISTENCY OF WEIGHT AND SIZE

If Pobeda simply had strict standards, no one would be surprised. But they are also non-standard! The only domestic low-cost airline There is no weight limit for carry-on luggage at all! And even its quantity. Unexpected, right? That is, take as much as you want? Why don’t tourists rejoice and write praises about the attraction of unheard-of generosity?

It’s very simple: everything you take into the cabin of a Pobeda aircraft should be no larger than . And this total size of ALL items- both just carry-on luggage and what is listed in the Federal Aviation Regulations. Outerwear, backpack, handbag, backpack, baby food and so on (see above).

I quote the rules of Pobeda: “For safe placement in the passenger cabin, the maximum total dimensions of hand luggage and items from paragraph 135 of FAP-82 (these are the ones you can take in addition to free hand luggage. - Ed.) should not exceed 36 x 30 x 27 centimeters (total size of all items). Hand luggage and items from paragraph 135 of FAP-82 are not limited in quantity and weight, but must be freely placed in the calibrator (meter)."

Now imagine how you will fit a bag, a coat and a laptop into this parallelepiped, where the largest side is only 36 cm. It won’t fit at all. You'll have to choose one thing, and even then it's not a fact that it will fit. You can immediately forget about a suitcase on wheels, if it is not a doll's one. About a large laptop - too.

Yamal Airlines was founded in 1997. The airline uses aircraft such as Boeing 737-400, Boeing 737-500, Airbus A320-200, CRJ-200 for charter flights.

Free baggage allowance
