Victory handbag. Victory: carry-on luggage and luggage. Tariffs for Pobeda tickets with luggage

From this report on a Pobeda airline flight from Kaliningrad to Moscow in December 2015, you will learn how to bring a backpack on a Pobeda flight for free and receive free place at the emergency exit, and you will also understand what is the worst thing about the service of this carrier.

Hello, I’m Konstantin Parfenenok and this is a short text about how I flew on a Pobeda flight from Kaliningrad to Moscow in December 2015. An economy class ticket cost me 999 rubles, and was purchased on the carrier’s official website 14 days before departure.

Road to the airport

In general, I wanted to go by bus - 80 rubles and a convenient flight that arrives at the airport 75 minutes before the departure of the evening Pobeda flight. But I had done so much during the day, and the weather was frankly disgusting, rain and wind, that I decided to calmly take a taxi, only 450 rubles for a half-hour trip (it was raining). As a result, I arrived at the airport at 19:30, while the departure was announced at 20:20.

Formalities

They started right at the entrance to the terminal - due to the events last months At the entrance inspection, they not only ask you to turn on your phones, but also your laptops. Yes, right at the entrance to the terminal. Not fatal, but inconvenient and takes a little time.

Pobeda does not have online check-in for flights to Moscow, so I head to the counters - there are three of them, from the second to the fourth, but at the end there is only one left - the fourth (and on the second there is also a funny inscription that it is for business class passengers ). There is almost no queue (one pair of passengers does not count) and so I hand my passport to the registration agent. Standing next to me is an airline representative who asks if I have hand luggage with me and, having received an affirmative answer, asks to show my bag. Showing her, I say that everything is strictly according to the FAPs and get my boarding pass.

Surprise - it has serial number 174 (that is, 173 passengers checked in before me) and seat 15D, that is, at the aisle next to the emergency exit. I didn’t do anything to get it - I didn’t ask or ask, I just came at the very end of registration. This trick works because if the airline is well loaded, it has no choice - it must give you free place free, even if you had previously asked for 699 rubles for it. By the way, the same applies to many other carriers. True, most likely I was just lucky - I bought a ticket just after the scandal with automatic seat selection and I simply did not have a seat assigned in advance, like other passengers.

I hurried to security and, out of habit, went to sector B, where they turned me around, telling me to hurry up, since boarding was ending. I was surprised, because registration was just finishing and the plane had not even arrived yet, but I went to sector C. There was a quick security check, they also asked me to turn on the laptop, but I took it out in advance.

Sector C is the part of the terminal intended for international departures. But since the flow of passengers fell by a third, and transportation within the country, on the contrary, is growing (thanks to the weak ruble and cheap oil), it began to be used for Russian flights. This is easy to do - through a separate entrance, straight to inspection, bypassing the customs and border guard posts that remain on the left.

The sector itself is even smaller than sector B, but it has a cafe, several vending machines, a business lounge (closed, but with a sign saying, call us, we’ll come open it) and a toilet, and, uniquely, this is the first time I’ve seen a queue for the men’s toilet (!) . There is also Duty Free, but it is not for passengers of Russian flights.

Landing

It was not in vain that they rushed me - boarding for the flight was in full swing. At the same time, there were still passengers in the hall, and the plane had not yet arrived. The last time I saw something like this was in Mr. O’Leary’s shop, but to give it its due, even he would not have guessed what I saw next.

So, what does boarding a Pobeda Airlines flight from Kaliningrad airport look like? You reach the gate, hand over your boarding pass and proceed further, where a special employee is waiting for you who has only one task - to check your hand luggage. If you have something that is allowed to be carried on board for free at the FAPs, then you move on and no problems. But if you're carrying a blanket in a package, a laptop in a backpack, a cake in a box, you're screwed. Or rather, the end of the extra couple of thousand in your wallet that you will have to pay to bring the listed items on board.

But wait, you wrote that you know how to carry a backpack on a Pobeda flight for free? That's right - it's very simple. You need to put the backpack in your laptop bag, as in the photo. Yes, I know, it sounds stupid and then you will have to transfer this bag into a backpack and the backpack should be rag with a minimum of plastic and rubber pads, but why isn’t there a way for you? I got it, control hand luggage I passed at the gate.

And just when it seemed to me that everything was over, the difficulties were behind me, when the further landing process seemed like a real branch of hell in a specific place. Firstly, you will find yourself in one of two buses (the first for passengers with boarding rows from 1 to 16, the second for those who fly in rows 17 to 32, they will tell you about this at the gate when I tear off the ticket stub), which will crowded (for a minute up to 96 passengers in the first bus and up to 93 passengers in the second) stand on the street, where it is now raining and the atmosphere is not very pleasant, while the heater in the buses will be turned off and the doors will be open until last passengers will not get compacted inside these beautiful vehicles.

Secondly, when this happens, and the plane has not even arrived yet, the doors on the buses will close and the stove will start working, but it’s too early to rejoice - you will stand still and wait. If you are sitting on such a bus, you are lucky. I stood there and held my hand luggage in my arms. This lasted about five or seven minutes, not the most pleasant wait at all. Thirdly, the plane lands, it is parked, and then it begins short trip to the parking lot, where you first watch (and I stood at the window) how the last passengers get off, how the cabin is cleaned, this is not a quick process, because the flight attendants clean it themselves, and then the doors open and you literally run to this plane to quickly take your place place and breathe out. Plus it’s still raining, the ramps are wet, you have to run carefully. Now imagine everything the same, but at minus 12 or 15 degrees – the sight will become even more unpleasant.

Salon

Okay, the boarding hell has passed, I’m getting on board. Immediately at the entrance, the flight attendants check the boarding tickets, but only to make sure that you have boarded your flight. Then I get to my seat, 15D, where I show a separate flight attendant my boarding ticket again. This is a Cerberus of emergency numbers, but more on that later.

This is a VQ-BAW flight, Pobeda Airlines is the first operator of this airliner, it is only 10 months old, the cabin has 189 economy class seats, the seats do not have headrests, they do not recline. Oh yes, Sky Interior, of course.

In general, in the 15th row there is simply a ton of legroom, but these are safety standards, and Pobeda has no merit in this. But the interior is clean - no traces of chewing gum were found, the toilets and luggage racks are clean.

Service

There are no complaints here, everything was clear, no complaints about the flight attendants. The staff worked very competently, as for example in the situation with the cake. I used to think that reviews about the transportation of cakes were all a banal coincidence, but here is my first flight of Pobeda and passengers with a cake are flying in the block of seats next to me. That is, they paid 999 rubles or more for transporting the cake in the cabin. But, they sit on the emergency row and cannot put it under their feet, and on the shelf the cake may get wrinkled. In the end, the staff found a solution and placed the cake somewhere in the front of the salon.

By the way, about emergency rows - five out of six seats were occupied in row 15, but row 16 was completely empty. And many passengers wanted to transfer there, but it didn’t work out for them. The vigilant flight attendant stopped any attempts to transfer to the 16th row. Oh how she chased these passengers from the 16th row - after landing, after gaining altitude and even before landing - I don’t remember this in Russian history passenger aviation, even from Transaero.

“Victory” also has audio spam in the form of an appeal general director in two languages and mandatory questions for those sitting at the emergency exit - do you understand the requirements/instructions and are you ready to sit in this place after such a load of responsibility.

Nutrition

As you all know, “Victory” does not feed. But you can get hold of a free glass of water, which I gladly did. The flight was short, but I did not see any of the passengers eating anything purchased in advance.

Personification of flight

Departure and arrival

Despite the grandiose art preparation with landing, we were unable to take off on time - well, Pobeda will not be able to play in Ryanair with a plane turn of 25 minutes in the regional Russian airport at least because of the anti-icing treatment of the aircraft. And so it happened - while everyone was being seated, while the doors were closed, while they were waiting for the shower to pour in - an extra 20 minutes had passed since the scheduled departure.

But we must give the pilots their due - we flew like crazy. I realized this only when I later looked at the flight track on fr24.com - we landed at Vnukovo five minutes later than the time stated on the schedule, an excellent result, a little more than 90 minutes from takeoff to landing.

Road from the airport

Taxi – Gett for 999 rubles, a little over 40 minutes on the road, no traffic jams noticed.

Bottom line

Dual feelings. The downsides are the marinating of passengers when boarding on departure from Kaliningrad, the stupidest bans on hand luggage, forcing you to come up with ways to carry a backpack on the Pobeda flight for free. The positives are that the flight was on schedule and the crew did an excellent job, to whom I say thank you. But it’s impossible to make a final opinion about Pobeda after one flight - you’ll have to fly a couple more times, this time for 202 rubles.

5 reviews on Bag for free hand luggage AK Pobeda 36x30x27

Elena (verified owner) - 02.06.2018

I ordered 2 bags. We went through fire, water and copper pipes - we even checked them into luggage, while keeping glass containers with drinks inside. Durable, do not tear, zippers do not separate. We are ordering another one for our daughter. By the way, in the “shortened” version they fit perfectly under the hand luggage of any AK! Verified. The manufacturers wish - come up with an option with wheels, please)) Still, carrying 10 kg on your shoulder is not very joyful)

Aslan - 03.06.2018

I bought a bag before my trip in April for the Pobeda flight. Initially I thought that it would be super-compact and not much would fit into it, but a full-frame camera, a wide camera, chargers and a change of clothes fit in there - almost everything that fits in a backpack. An ultrabook would fit, but I don’t have one) Despite the concerns, the bloated bag did not raise any questions during landing, as it corresponded to the dimensions of the Pobeda.
The bag itself is simple, two compartments, and one wide pocket, which expands/contracts if necessary. Comfortable to wear, I didn’t notice any particular disadvantages, I hope the carabiners will withstand long-term use. Otherwise I'm happy.

Ilya - 05.06.2018

Let's start with the fact that I have always disliked the Pobeda company itself, what kind of stupid rules are this, you can't do this, you can't do that, and you can't even take your usual backpack. So I tried not to fly with this company. But when I was called on a trip, and it was Pobeda that had to fly, I panicked, how could I take everything that I was used to taking with me, and what if I didn’t fit into their calibrator.
The choice fell on this bag.
I ordered it, the courier brought the bag home to me, everything was done quickly and orderly. I managed to fit everything that I usually take with me, and even without opening the additional compartment, I realized that it was possible to fly with Pobeda. It's OK))
So just to give you an idea, I had my Ultrabook with me, a bunch of chargers, holders for the car window, a change of clothes, spare T-shirts and jeans, all sorts of razor brushes and so on. Some of the dry rations, because... There is no food on board Pobeda. And there was still a lot of stuff to remove.
Moreover, at the control, when they saw this bag, they didn’t even ask to put it in the calibrator; apparently they had already gotten used to them and let them through without checking. So if you have doubts whether to buy it or not, then I advise you to buy it and don’t worry)
Nerves are more expensive))

I ordered a black bag. Delivery is fast via CDEK. Arrived within a few days. Very high quality sewn. The capacity is decent, the bag transforms from a more compact one into maximum size. Fits a 13.8-inch laptop perfectly, and the large compartment can easily accommodate a DSLR with a telephoto lens and lens hood. You can fit a lot of things. I am very pleased with the bag, I recommend purchasing it.

Free hand luggage at Pobeda

P.S. Victoria bags have appeared for sale on the Internet, which meet the requirements for free carry-on luggage at Pobeda Airlines. The Victoria bag with a laptop compartment and protected foam material easily fits into the Pobeda bag calibrator, since its size is 35 × 29 × 26 centimeters. The cost of such a bag will be 1499 rubles + 175 rubles for delivery. You can order it through the manufacturer’s website from Sverdlovsk region - www.victorybag.ru

Pobeda Airlines has limited the size of hand luggage carried free of charge on its flights: now it can measure no more than 75 cm in the sum of three dimensions, which seriously limits the possibility of using a life hack based on the requirements of the Federal aviation regulations(FAP). The fact is that, according to the FAP, it is possible, and regular passengers of Pobeda began to specifically buy “grandfather’s” briefcases that fit this definition. The best examples of briefcases can easily accommodate equipment (laptops, cameras), clothes, and even bottles from duty-free, the transportation of which costs .

Only a very modest briefcase or handbag will fit into the 75-centimeter size; Thus, large and heavy “trunks” will still have to be checked in as luggage. Let us remind you that “Victory” is a plane that tries to fill the luggage compartment of the aircraft to the maximum and the cabin to the minimum; The airline motivates this by the fact that passengers without carry-on luggage board and disembark faster, which reduces the duration of ground handling of the aircraft. This, however, increases the time passengers spend at the airport, but reduces the carrier’s costs, also allowing them to earn extra money on carrying hand luggage. For many passengers, the rules of “Victory”, however, turn out to be a surprise, although the website states in bold print what constitutes a briefcase and a handbag.

In particular, a “briefcase” is understood as a narrow rectangular bag, the dimensions of which do not exceed 75 cm in the sum of three dimensions, designed for carrying documents (papers), books, a laptop computer, as well as small items and having corresponding compartments in the internal space. Backpacks and bags of any kind are not included in the list of items carried free of charge in the aircraft cabin. A “handbag” is a small bag of a rectangular, oblong or soft shape, designed for carrying small household items or cosmetics, the dimensions of which do not exceed 75 cm in the sum of three dimensions. A handbag can be equipped with a shoulder strap or chain, and have handles made of leather, textile, metal, plastic or bamboo.

A number of media reports state that the 75 cm limit is illegal. However, Pobeda believes that in this case there is no contradiction with the FAP, since the law in this part does not establish any requirements. “On the contrary, we had to define the concepts of “handbag” and “men’s briefcase” - for objectivity. The requirement for the size of hand luggage is published directly on the website in the “baggage” section of the transportation rules. In addition, the low-cost airline Ryanair has the same restrictions. Victory takes over best experience world leaders in the low-cost airline industry. 75 cm fits most handbags and men's briefcases (or laptop cases). And in the near future, special meters for hand luggage will appear at check-in counters,” comments the company’s press service.

The FAP really does not regulate in any way either the concept of “briefcase” or its size, and therefore the Ministry of Transport is preparing changes to the FAP, in which the items allowed for transportation will be clearly described, which will eliminate possible discrepancies.
