Aeroflot. Baggage: transportation rules

The airline "Aeroflot" luggage takes into account by special rules, while being one of the most famous Russian carriers. This company makes certain requirements for hand luggage and luggage, which are on board the aircraft during flights.

Identification

Passengers take on board certain things. All this is subject to sorting for the purpose of verification, accurate transportation, which does not interfere with other passengers, and subsequently transfer to the owner's hands. All baggage can be divided into two parts, which is indicated by the terms:

1. Hand luggage. These are things that a passenger can bring into the cabin of an airplane and leave there until the end of the flight.
2. Baggage. A bag, suitcase or other container that is handed over to employees upon check-in at the airport.

Requirements for Aeroflot to carry on hand luggage

Aeroflot is one of the most loyal companies that have low requirements for hand luggage. Each passenger can carry up to 10 kg of hand luggage with him to the cabin of the aircraft, and people who bought a ticket for business class have the right to take up to 15 kg of hand luggage. The limitation is the maximum dimensions inherent in the objects of hand luggage. Three sides of objects together can not exceed 115 cm.

In addition to the basic hand luggage included in the above parameters, each passenger can additionally take with him such things:

1. A ladies' bag with small dimensions and without protruding parts. Men can take a special portfolio, which should also be of moderate size and placed on the back. Large travel portfolios are inappropriate.

Features of baggage transportation

Aeroflot is chosen by many passengers. Baggage is an integral part of the flight, so a few years ago, its leaders decided to simplify the rules for carrying baggage. This action is not recognized as successful, as a large number of passengers have many questions, complaints, and also unclear details that need to be resolved in each specific case. Previously, a simple weight system was used. If baggage exceeded the required parameters, you had to pay an additional fee for its transportation. At the moment, the calculation is based on the number of seats. Now, along with the weight of the workers calculate this figure.

What is free baggage transportation on the plane? Aeroflot introduced several nominal values:

1. Economy class at the standard rate is available one place, it is allowed to carry luggage with a total weight of up to 23 kg.
2. Economy class, the ticket for which is purchased at the rates of "Premium-Economy", "Premium-Comfort", provides two places for luggage. At each of them, the weight of baggage "Aeroflot" also regulates, so it should not exceed 23 kg.
3. Business class allows you to slightly increase the weight to 32 kg, but leaves the right to 2 seats.

Exceptions to the rules

When flights between the United States (excluding Miami), the Middle East and the Far East, Asia (excluding Russia and some other countries), Africa, India in economy class seats, passengers can take 2 baggage positions at a standard 23 kg per bag. The company "Aeroflot" luggage allows you to save in excellent conditions and offers a lot of programs, with the participation in which people can take extra space for things absolutely free.

It should be remembered that, in addition to weight, the restriction is also on dimensions, therefore, before collecting all the luggage, you should check whether it corresponds to acceptable standards. A suitcase, bag or other container is measured in three parameters, which include length, height and width as standard. Then the received information is summarized. The received value should not exceed 158 cm, otherwise it is necessary to make a surcharge. On this aspect, you can see how much the control of "Aeroflot" baggage.

Rules for carrying luggage for passengers with children

Children aged 2-12 years have the right to carry the same amount of baggage as adults. When the flight is carried out with an infant, that is, with a person under 2 years old, a person has the right to take a separate luggage space. At the same time, the items put in it should not exceed 10 kg, and the overall dimensions of the three sides are not more than 115 cm, that is, the weight of baggage in the Aeroflot plane is clearly normalized.

Paid baggage transportation on Aeroflot flights

Exceeding at least one parameter for free baggage transportation obliges a person to pay for the possibility of a flight with all the necessary things. If the weight or dimensions of the baggage or a separate bag is higher than the allotted norm, it is necessary to return things to the attendants or pay for their transportation, so the decision should be taken quickly, which is governed by the rules of Aeroflot. Hand luggage is the most problematic part of the flight.

Excess baggage by number of seats

To better understand this aspect, you can imagine an approximate situation. A man is flying with two suitcases weighing 10 kg and 13 kg. If he is in the economy class and does not use special programs, the excess in terms of the number of seats is fixed. It does not matter that the total weight of baggage "Aeroflot" admits admissible, since two bags or a suitcase occupy two places.

To get out of this situation, you need to purchase an extra seat. Depending on the country from which the flight is made, a person will be forced to pay 50 euros or 50 dollars. When the ticket is purchased at the Premium-Economy or Comfort tariffs, and when flying to the business class, the third place will cost 150 euros or dollars. These tariffs are developed by Aeroflot specialists. The luggage is stored in excellent conditions.

Excess weight

To explain this aspect is very simple. When a person makes a flight with a suitcase or bag in an economy class, the total weight of which, together with the contents is more than 23 kg, it is necessary to pay extra for exceeding by weight.

Even if the passenger is supposed to have two seats, and he has only one bag, he will have to pay extra. For business class, this restriction rises to 32 kg, but if it is exceeded, you will also have to pay separately for the possibility to transport things when flying on airplanes from Aeroflot. Baggage rules allow you to transport only according to established standards.

Previously, when fixing the odds, a person had to pay extra for every extra kilogram. At the moment, these rules have changed. The excess is paid in the amount of $ 50, and its size is not important. When flying in business class, a person must pay extra $ 100.

In order not to get into unpleasant and unexpected situations, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the rules of baggage transportation beforehand and to take all the necessary actions beforehand, to prepare for compliance with the requirements.
