Baggage rules s7 Siberia. Generally accepted rules and regulations “S7. Calculation of surcharge for excess baggage

Carrying things on an airplane is a process that is regulated by various rules. Moreover, each airline has its own rules. Therefore, passengers find out all the details in advance, for example, how hand luggage is transported on the S7 plane. Dimensions and weight must fit into established standards, otherwise excess items will have to be packed in luggage.

Carry-on luggage is considered to be the items that a tourist takes with him into the cabin of an aircraft. Usually these are things that he will need during the flight, and especially important, fragile items are also taken into the cabin for safety.

Requirements for hand luggage on the s7 plane

Of course, the S7 company has certain restrictions on the weight and measurements of hand luggage. Compliance with the rules for carrying hand luggage ensures the comfort and safety of passengers.

Economy class tourists can carry one bag weighing no more than ten kg in the cabin. The dimensions of hand luggage on an S7 aircraft must not exceed 55 cm in length, 40 cm in height and 20 cm in width.

Allowed S7 hand luggage for business class passengers is two bags weighing no more than 15 kg in total. In terms of dimensions, the parameters are the same as in the economy tariff - no more than 55x40x20 is allowed.

There are places for checking hand luggage in the tourist registration area. Bags must be framed according to regulations for sizing and weighing. It is recommended to find out the weight and dimensions in advance to avoid troubles before the flight.

Prohibited and permitted items for carriage in hand luggage in S7

In accordance with the established requirements for hand luggage, you can additionally (in addition to the main bag) take the following things with you:

  • Mobile, camera, laptop, tablet, video camera;
  • Outerwear, a suit in a special travel bag - a briefcase;
  • Handbag, briefcase;
  • A folder for securities, as well as a cane, an umbrella, a bouquet of flowers;
  • Tourists flying with children can take baby food and a baby stroller for minors under 11 years old into the cabin, and when flying with children under 2 years old, they can carry a cradle or car seat in the cabin. Naturally, all these things are allowed to be taken only when flying with a child;
  • People with limited mobility may bring crutches or a collapsible wheelchair into the cabin, as long as they can be comfortably placed on the shelf above or under the seat of the passenger in front.

All listed items, except for baby strollers and wheelchairs, are not subject to weighing when checking in hand luggage and baggage. Thus, a citizen has the right to take into the cabin hand luggage that meets the established dimensions and does not exceed the weight, as well as several or all of the specified items on the list.

Cost of hand luggage in S7

Carriage of luggage in S7 is free for any category of citizens if the items fit the established standards in size and dimensions. However, there is no such thing as overweight for things in the aircraft cabin. Anything that weighs more or exceeds the dimensions will have to be packed in a luggage bag, and the luggage itself can be either free or paid if it does not fit into the standards.

Many passengers are interested in whether it is possible to check out hand luggage with luggage on the official S7 website? Unfortunately, such a service is not provided, since it is impossible to determine remotely whether the transported items comply with the established standards. You can check in baggage and hand luggage only at the airport - you should go to the “baggage reception” counter or any other.

Another popular question is, do pets count as carry-on luggage? Dogs, cats and birds can be transported in the cabin of the ship with S7, but they are not considered hand luggage and are charged at the excess baggage rate.

These are the main points to remember when transporting hand luggage. If you have questions or concerns about the availability of a particular item, it is best to find out by calling the company.

All baby bassinets or car seats of any size when transporting a child under 2 years of age, as well as strollers when transporting a child under 11 years of age (inclusive) are carried free of charge in addition to the standard baggage allowance or in addition to hand luggage.

The cradle of a collapsible stroller is allowed for transportation in the aircraft cabin if its dimensions do not exceed 55x40x20. The folding stroller can be checked in as luggage. A stroller without a child under 11 years of age is transported on a general basis.

Important warning from Siberia Airlines regarding the transportation of Samsung Gala smartphonesxyNote 7

Siberia Airlines requests that you take into account the following information regarding air transportation above the telephone number indicated:

  • in some countries there is a ban on their transportation,
  • and some countries require certain precautions to be taken during the flight.

1. Samsung Gala air banxyNote 7 in the following countries

No matter how strange it may sound, in some countries there is a ban on transporting Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones by air. This is due to the official recall on October 11, 2016 by Samsung of its brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, due to possible harm to passengers, the aircraft or property on board the aircraft due to smoke, fire or explosion.

Countries that have a ban on air transportation of these phones:

  • Canada
  • Hong Kong
  • Mexico
  • South Africa
  • Korea
  • China

When traveling within the above-mentioned countries, as well as heading to or departing from them, you cannot take a Samsung Galaxy Note7 phone with you at all, and it is prohibited to carry this phone in your carry-on luggage or checked luggage. Smartphones also cannot be transported as cargo.

2. Certain precautions when transporting Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to other countries

  • If you follow other directions not listed above and have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with you, then during the flight you must not:
  1. turn on your smartphone;
  2. connect it to chargers m.
  • S7 Airlines urges you to carry such smartphones of this model only in hand luggage, and in no case in checked baggage
  • The above restrictions also apply to transfer passengers with connections to S7 Airlines flights. Check to see if there is a ban on transporting the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on the official website of the airline or service you plan to use.


Overweight luggage at the airport may cause additional costs. Before you go on a trip, you should find out in advance what cargo transportation standards are accepted by Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and many others, etc.

Weighing luggage at the airport

There are 2 systems:

  • weight;
  • depending on the number of seats.

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

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

There is another system, it 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 airline baggage costs

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

Situation 1. You took 2 suitcases with you on a trip. You loaded the first lightly - 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 luggage. 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 the number of seats, an excess weight of 5 kg will be recorded.

How much does excess baggage cost?

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

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

If the carrier uses a weighing system, then you will have to pay extra for each kilogram that is recorded above the established limit. Payment is influenced by airline policies and destinations. The cost is calculated taking into account transportation in economy class, and the highest fare is taken into account.

For 1 kg of excess weight, an amount equal to 1.5% of the ticket will be taken. In addition, the air carrier may set a fixed size. Typically, the cost of 1 kg of excess weight varies within reasonable limits; a passenger will be charged from 5 to 10 euros.

For example, you are going to fly from Paris to Berlin. In economy class you can carry a suitcase whose weight does not exceed 20 kg. Your bag weighs 24 kg. We can say that the excess was 4 kg. If the tariff for baggage transportation 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 excess baggage space that you occupy and for kilograms carried in excess of the norm.

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

What to do if you have several suitcases? For example, you took 2 bags with you on a trip. One weighs 20 kg, the other is a little lighter. Let the second bag weigh 14 kg. In this case, there will be an excess, but in terms of the number of places. You will have to pay for 1 more place, usually 50 euros.

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

One more example is worth considering. You go on a trip and 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 airport staff will record an excess not only in the weight of luggage, but also in the number of seats. You will have to pay 100 euros for transporting heavy suitcases. Also, be prepared to pay 50 euros for 1 extra seat. In the end you will pay 150 euros.

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

When planning a trip, pay attention to the fact that the weight of 1 suitcase should not exceed 32 kg. If an excess is recorded, the cargo will be considered oversized. Most airports simply won't carry it; you'll have to handle shipping yourself. At many airports around the world, baggage handlers will not carry bags that weigh more than 32 kg. They are prohibited from doing this. Explore. Almost every airport provides it, but it is paid.

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

Where to pay

To pay for baggage, if you have exceeded the standards, you should contact specialists. Payment counters are located at all airports. You can find out about its location by contacting the employee at the reception desk. Here you will be told about the cost of baggage carried in excess of the norm.

First, your bag will be weighed. Often, passengers do not even have to pay for a small excess of luggage on the plane. Of course, we are talking about 2-3 kg.

Payment counter for additional services at Domodedovo Airport

Review the information provided to clients. Additional payment for excess weight is possible not only at the airport. For example, in 2020, UTair airlines allows 23 kg of baggage in economy class. Aeroflot has established similar standards. But in economy comfort and business class, 2 additional seats of 32 kg each are provided. Special conditions are offered to participants of the UTair “Status” program. For more information, please contact your airline representative.

This article will discuss what you need to know when planning to fly anywhere with S7 airlines (formerly Siberia).

S7 airline compares favorably with many others on the air transportation market with its relatively low fares, a large number of serviced destinations, as well as full hand luggage, which you can take with you on your flight for free if you pay for a ticket at any fare, even the most economical one. This carry-on luggage of the S7 is one of the main competitive advantages, so we’ll start with it.

Size of hand luggage at S7 airline

The size of hand luggage at S7 airline is almost the same size as that of many air carriers, however, there are still differences, although not significant.

So, the permissible dimensions of hand luggage for transportation in the aircraft cabin in 2019 are 55x40x 23 centimeter

We specifically highlighted the number 23 in bold because... for many it is 25 centimeters. The S7 has a couple of centimeters less.

The weight of hand luggage must be:

  • - no more than 10 kilograms for economy class;
  • - no more than 15 kilograms for business class.

This is a standard situation. And, although FAP-82 prescribes a minimum free hand luggage of 5 kg, many companies did not change the usual conditions for their passengers, for which we thank them very much!

Carry-on luggage did not meet the dimensions or weight requirements. What then?

There are two options here. Either think about how to lighten/reduce it, or you’ll have to check it in as luggage. We'll talk about how this is done and how much it costs in the section on checked baggage.

What is prohibited from being carried in hand luggage at S7?

In S7 hand luggage, in principle, it is prohibited to carry the same things as other airlines. In order not to write a long list, we will simply list the categories of items and substances prohibited for carriage in hand luggage.

  1. Various piercing and cutting objects (knives, knitting needles, syringes with needles and just hypodermic needles without a medical prescription, corkscrews, etc.). By the way, a straight razor is also a dangerous piercing and cutting object, so it is not allowed in hand luggage.
  2. Transportation of hazardous liquids, explosives, poisons, gases, etc. is also prohibited. Among the gas-containing items, you can bring a lighter on board. With a reservation - one per person. There will be an explanation for liquids even below.
  3. Tools, weapons, imitation weapons and dangerous objects are also illegal.
  4. Strong and narcotic medications without a doctor's prescription.

Weapons, explosives, poisons, hazardous liquids, gas cylinders, including scuba cylinders, radioactive substances and other items that threaten flight safety are prohibited for transportation on S7 airlines.

Obviously, if you are flying on vacation and bringing shorts, swimming trunks and an inflatable ring, no one will say a word to you. But if, for example, you are flying to go diving or spearfishing with your own equipment, you may not be allowed onto the plane with all your equipment, and not out of harm, but solely for safety reasons.

In this section, we will simply talk about why you should not take something on a flight, even if it is on the list of permitted items.

1. Bouquet of flowers.

There is such a rule, but keep in mind that if you take this bouquet abroad, they may require a certificate, which you will not have. As a result, you will throw the flowers in the trash, it’s good if you don’t pay the fine for transporting prohibited items.

Also, people flying with you on the plane may be allergic to flowers. Naturally, the crew does not need problems on the entrusted board; accordingly, the flowers will be confiscated from you and thrown away.

2. Knives allowed for transportation in hand luggage.

There is a narrow list that can be carried. However, if at the security control they decide that this knife does not meet the standards, they will throw it away and you will be left without a knife.

3. An animal that does not tolerate flying well.
