However, regardless of the type of cargo, it is carefully checked at the airport, directly during check-in and baggage. Representatives of the airline must be presented with all your luggage, even a women's handbag. This requirement is due, first of all, to ensuring the safety of passengers in the air. It is based on these considerations, as well as from considerations of safety of your things, you can never leave your suitcases unattended, transfer your luggage, or, worse still, undertake to transport a stranger.

The "transportation rules" of luggage provide that the carrier airline takes it under its responsibility, is responsible for its full safety. If a representative of the company marks your suitcase with a tag, then from that moment it is already considered registered and transferred to the luggage compartment of the aircraft.
A passenger has the right to make a statement about the value of his cargo if it exceeds the permissible limits for which the air carrier is responsible. In this case, it is deemed necessary to pay an additional fee paid to the cashier directly at the airport prior to departure.
The departing person has the right to take with him to the plane one baggage seat that is allowed to be transported free of charge, however, its weight should not exceed ten kilograms, and in the sum of all measurements the size should not exceed 115 centimeters.

The rules for carrying luggage on the plane provide for free transportation of several personal belongings, such as a handbag, coat or raincoat, flowers, walking stick or umbrella, a video or camera, a laptop, a cradle for the road, a folding wheelchair, crutches, a shopping bag Made in a store located in a tax-free zone.

Things of value - passports, business and securities, medicines, jewelry, fragile broken items should always be carried in your carry-on baggage.

Since June 1, 2011, most major air carriers - Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Aeroflot, Alitalia, Finnair - have introduced changes in the rules for carrying baggage, in the airplane of their companies - a calculation based on the number of seats according to which each passenger of the economy class is entitled to carry only one piece of luggage , Having a weight of up to 23 kilograms. For each additional extra space you will need to pay extra. The cost of co-payment is directly dependent on the duration of the flight.

If the dimensions and weight of your luggage is more than the parameters set by the norm, then we advise you to solve all the issues related to it, to be solved in advance. The payment for luggage over the norm should be made according to the baggage fare, which will be in force on the day of issuing the receipt for payment, which is issued by the airline. Payment on credit is not made.

If you fly on an airplane belonging to the airline Aeroflot, the rules of carrying luggage are extremely loyal, then you can arrange your cargo as unaccompanied by a separate air waybill. And in conclusion, I want to say that you need to take seriously the issue that "you need to take in your luggage and what to bring on board" so as not to create problems for yourself or the airline that is transporting you.
