According to statistics, about 35% of tourists at least once violated the baggage allowance and carry-on baggage, paid extra for violations of transportation standards at the box office of Ural Airlines. Some clients of the air carrier had to resort to tricks - to put on 2-3 personal items, to leave some of the items to the mourners. Other people were forced to simply throw away food, drinks and belongings. Avoid uncomfortable situations and save the amount of 2 thousand rubles. and more will help familiarity with the rules of the air carrier and a clarifying call to the help desk.

The rules for the carriage of passengers and goods are approximately the same around the world. Of course, each airline sets its own minor changes to the usual norms. But as a rule, the nuances differ little from the generally accepted ones.

Let's take a look at Ural Airlines, a well-known company in Russia. What can this air carrier offer to its customers, which distinguishes it from competitors and partners around the world and in Russian Federation in particular?

Carry-on baggage rules on Ural Airlines aircraft in 2019

Hand luggage closer to the body. The passenger must carefully consider all the things that he plans to take with him into the cabin from the point of view of safety and from the point of view of comfort. And most importantly - do not overdo it either in size or in weight.

Weight and dimensions. Size matters?

The official website of the airline informs that according to the established norms, the size of hand luggage for all classes of service and fares should not exceed 55x40x20 cm.

These are quite common dimensions for most air carriers, so beginners and experienced travelers have nothing to be surprised at and nothing to complain about.

With the weight of hand luggage, things are a little more complicated. The numbers vary depending on the flight class. All the same official information from Ural Airlines states that:

1. Promo, Economy, Premium Economy fare passengers are allowed to take one piece of hand luggage not exceeding 5 kg per person.
2. One passenger of Business Light and Business fares is allowed to carry on board two pieces of hand luggage with a total weight of up to 15 kg.

These are nice bonuses for owners of expensive tickets.

Official information from the air carrier clearly establishes what is not included in the concept of hand luggage and for which the passenger will have to pay a significant extra:

• sports equipment not included in the free baggage allowance;
• cars, motorcycles, motor scooters, mopeds, sports, hunting boats and spare parts for them;
• musical instruments;
• flowers, plant seedlings, food greens weighing more than 5 kg;
• items weighing more than 50 kg. They are accepted for carriage only as cargo, but not in hand luggage.

Traveler's belongings in luggage and hand luggage

And now about the most interesting. What can I take with me in hand luggage according to the rules of Ural Airlines? Both economy class and owners of more expensive tickets can take a light snack with them (cookies, fruits, sandwiches), some liquid (no more than 100 ml!), cosmetics (no more than 100 ml!), newspapers, magazines, books , wet wipes and other safe little things.

In addition, keep in mind that the following items are not included in the concept of carry-on baggage, but are allowed for free transportation:

• handbag or briefcase;
• folder for papers;
• umbrella or cane;
• bouquet of flowers;
• outerwear;
• printed publications for reading in flight;
• baby food for a child during the flight, a soft baby carrier when transporting a child;
• telephone cellular communication, camera, video camera;
• laptop;
• suit in a suitcase.

The carriage of hand luggage by this air carrier in terms of prohibited items is no different from colleagues. Cannot be transported in the aircraft cabin:

• explosives, means of blasting and items stuffed with them;
• compressed and liquefied gases;

For detailed information on permitted and prohibited items in baggage and carry-on baggage, see the official website of the airline or check with a specialist when buying tickets.

Baggage allowance at Ural Airlines: how much can I carry for free?

If everything has become clear with hand luggage, let's deal with the baggage rules at Ural Airlines. As in the case of suitcases, bags and backpacks in the cabin, the official website of Ural Airlines provides information on the uneven distribution of the weight of free baggage per person. And the reason for this is the difference in tariffs and the price of an air ticket:

• Promotional rate - 1 piece up to 10 kg of luggage.
• Economy and Premium Economy - 1 piece up to 23 kg.
• Business Light - 1 piece up to 23 kg.
• Business - 2 places up to 32 kg.

For the information of passengers, the rules regarding the flight of children from 0 to 2 years without a separate seat have not changed. They are still entitled to up to 10 kg of personal luggage free of charge (and even 1 piece of hand luggage up to 5 kg).

To quickly navigate the amount of luggage, just pay attention to your ticket. On it you can see the standard inscription in variations:

• 0 rs;
• 1 rs;
• 2 rs.

So, baggage. 1pc means that the passenger has the right to carry 1 piece of baggage in the weight and dimensions of the purchased fare. Respectively 2 rs means two suitcase places. A 0 rs means the cheapest baggage free fare.

By the way, Ural Airlines does not officially prohibit summing up the allowed weight per family in one suitcase. But questions may arise during registration.

If possible, take one bag for each person separately. So calmer and more reliable.

Be careful: the allowed baggage allowance for some flights of the company differs from the standard ones both in economy class and in business classes! Check this information in advance.

Baggage surcharge: how much does 1 kg of overweight cost on the airline?

Of course, each passenger tries not to overweight and fit into their baggage allowances. But the situations are different, and sometimes you have to pay for the excess of both hand luggage and a suitcase in the luggage compartment. And here everything is not so simple. The calculation of the cost of paid baggage depends on:

• Check-in time for excess baggage (the sooner, the cheaper). Ural Airlines has the right to refuse to carry excess baggage if they do not have the technical ability to do so, and the passenger has decided not to report this in advance. Always notify the air carrier of such nuances no later than one day before departure! And the surcharge will cost less, and the cargo, most likely, will fly away without problems.
• Flight distance. The price of 1 kg overweight on a flight within Russia will be cheaper than a flight to the CIS countries or on international flights.

But the weight system does not always work. On the official page of Ural Airlines there is a special table that sets the amount of the surcharge within a certain excess, without reference to specific extra pounds, regardless of whether it is economy or business class.

Conditions for the transport of animals

A passenger who wants to transport his pet in the cabin or in the luggage compartment is obliged to inform the employees of Ural Airlines at least 24 hours before departure. Booking "live" baggage must be confirmed by the air carrier. Only in this case the animal has the right to fly. In addition, the passenger must provide documents for his pet:

1. On flights within Russia - a veterinary certificate of vaccination of the animal / veterinary passport.
2. On international flights - an international veterinary certificate issued on the basis of a veterinary certificate and registered with the veterinary service of the border control point, a certificate of the breeding value of the animal for export, documents required by the veterinary authorities of the country of arrival or transit.

And passengers who travel to Israel with animals must also have a printed permit from the veterinary control of Ben Gurion Airport to bring their animal into Israel.

There are special conditions for the UAE and Portugal. There, the airline does not transport animals in the cabin of the aircraft.

Official information on the company's website states that when booking a carriage, the passenger must indicate the type, number and weight of live animals or birds being transported.

Animals and birds that weigh more than 8 kg definitely travel in the luggage compartment. All rodents, arthropods, ferrets and other pets are also sent there, excluding cats and dogs weighing less than 8 kg. On the conscience of the owner and a special container for transporting a pet for the luggage compartment and for the cabin, which meets the requirements for the safety of the animal and other passengers.

Excess baggage at the airport may result in additional costs. Before you go on a trip, you should find out in advance what cargo allowances are accepted by Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and many others and.

Weighing luggage at the airport

There are 2 systems:

• weight;
• depending on the number of seats.

If we talk about the first, 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 only 2 suitcases with you, the weight of each should not exceed 10 kg. Anything over 20 kg will be considered excess of the norm by the airline. You will have to pay extra for overweight baggage.

For example, an airline has determined that 20 kg can be carried. You take 2 suitcases with you. 1 bag is 17 kg and 2 bag is 11 kg. You need to calculate the total amount, it is 28 kg. Subtract the allowed weight of luggage, in the end 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 an economy class flight, then passengers have the right to check in only 1 suitcase. Its weight should not exceed 23 kg.

Utair baggage allowance

For a better understanding, consider 2 examples.

Situation 1. You took 2 suitcases with you on your trip. You loaded the first one lightly - 10 kg, but the second is heavier - 13 kg. Counting 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 baggage, it is 1 piece.

Situation 2. You have 1 bag, its weight is 28 kg. Although you fit within the number of seats, an excess weight of 5 kg will be recorded.

How much is overweight baggage

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

The cost of overweight baggage may vary from airline to airline.

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

For 1 kg of overweight, an amount equal to 1.5% of the ticket will be taken. In addition, the air carrier may set a fixed amount. Usually the cost of 1 kg of overweight fluctuates within reasonable limits, from 5 to 10 euros will be taken from a passenger.

For example, you are going to fly from Paris to Berlin. In economy class, you can carry a suitcase that weighs no more than 20 kg. Your bag weighs 24 kg. We can say that the advantage was 4 kg. If the excess baggage fee 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 the extra baggage you occupy and for the extra kilos you carry.

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

What if you have multiple suitcases? For example, you took 2 bags with you on a trip. The weight of one is 20 kg, the other is slightly lighter. Let the second bag weigh 14 kg. In this case, there will be an excess, but already by the number of seats. You will have to pay for 1 more seat, usually 50 euros.

Please note that in some situations it is much more profitable to pay extra for 1 seat than to pay for the carriage of baggage in excess of the established standards. It is recommended to always have a small amount of money with you, then the demand of the airport staff will not take you by surprise.

It is worth considering another example. You go on a trip, take 2 suitcases with you. The weight of one bag is 26 kg, and the second is slightly lighter - 15 kg. It can be said that the airport staff will record an excess not only in the weight of luggage, there will be an excess in the number of seats. For carrying heavy suitcases you will have to pay 100 euros. Also, be prepared to pay €50 for 1 extra seat. As a result, 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 extra seat.

When going on a trip, pay attention to the fact that the weight of 1 suitcase should not exceed 32 kg. If an excess is recorded, then the cargo will be considered oversized. Most airports simply will not transport it, you will have to deal with sending things on your own. At many airports around the world, loaders will not carry bags that weigh more than 32 kg. They are forbidden to do so. Explore. Almost every airport is provided, 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 or another carrier, otherwise the suitcase may not be accepted for transportation. The carrier has the right to do so.

Where to pay

To pay for baggage, if you have exceeded the standards, you should contact the specialists. The payment desk is located at all airports. You can find out about its location by contacting the employee at the front desk. Here you will also be told about the cost of excess baggage.

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.

Counter payment for additional services at Domodedovo airport

Review the information provided to clients. Additional payment for overweight is possible not only at the airport. For example, in 2019, UTair allows you to carry 23 kg of baggage in economy class. Aeroflot has set similar standards. But in the economy-comfort and business class, 2 extra seats of 32 kg each are provided. Special conditions are offered to participants of the Status program of UTair. For more information, please contact your airline representative.

How to avoid going overboard

If you travel quite often, then it makes sense to purchase a hand scale. So you will always know the weight of your suitcase. To avoid overweight, it is recommended to do the following:

An example of a scale for weighing luggage

Find out the cost of tickets in business class. Aeroflot offers such tickets, they can be purchased at UTair.

Passengers, having purchased such a ticket, have the right to carry many things. You are given the opportunity to take 2 places, transport 2 times 32 kg.

Of course, such tickets are expensive, it's easier to just pay extra for the excess. Nevertheless, it is still worth studying the information of air carriers.

Explore the offers that are available to airline customers as part of bonus programs. High-status travelers may carry heavy suitcases. With the weight system, you will have the opportunity to carry an additional 10 kg of luggage on the plane. With a seat-based system, you will be entitled to 1 extra seat with 23 kg of luggage. Such privileges are provided to members of the bonus system who have received silver or gold status. UTair and Aeroflot have developed special offers for passengers who frequently use the services of air carriers.

Take an extra bag with you on your trip. If the need arises, you will transfer things to it.

The airline "" intends to change the baggage allowance and hand luggage. The new standards look rather strange and atypical. Innovations will apply to tickets sold from November 20, according to sob.korr. website.

The main changes concern the cheapest "Promo" tariffs. Now passengers with such tickets can carry only 10 kilograms of hand luggage for free (plus a briefcase or handbag, a briefcase, printed publications, a photo and video camera, a bouquet of flowers and other items from the list of personal belongings in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)). For tickets sold from November 20, there is a strange free allowance - 5 kilograms in hand luggage (plus the above personal items) and 10 kilograms in checked luggage. In addition, the hand luggage allowance has been reduced from 10 to 5 kilograms for all economy class fares, and not just for Promo fares.

The new norm, firstly, will upset passengers who are used to taking these 10 kilograms with them into the cabin of the aircraft (for example, in the form of a small backpack or a small wheeled bag). Secondly, it does not fully comply with the FAP, which stipulate only 10 free kilograms, but at the same time, in fact, giving the passenger a choice - whether to check them in baggage or take them into the cabin as hand luggage. It is likely that one of the motives for the innovations was a lawsuit against another airline, in which the court concluded that the passenger has the right to such a choice.

In any case, there are serious doubts that Ural Airlines will carefully check the weight of every bag that passengers carry into the cabin. In any case, when relatively recently many companies, including Ural Airlines, had a formal norm of 5 kilograms preserved from Soviet times, no one controlled the actual weight of hand luggage.

For passengers who wish to carry more than 5 kilograms into the cabin and do not check in their baggage, it makes sense to use online check-in or self-check-in kiosks to avoid trying to weigh hand luggage at regular airport check-in counters. The likelihood of hand luggage being weighed at the boarding gate is currently negligible. In addition, the company has not published any algorithm of actions in case of attempts to carry more than 5 kilograms into the cabin, which most likely indicates that no weight control at the boarding gate is simply expected.

If all this is true, then the innovations as a whole can be considered favorable for passengers with the cheapest Promo tickets. They will be able to check in 10 kilograms in baggage and at the same time retain the ability to carry a significant amount of hand luggage (plus personal items from the above list). For passengers of more expensive Economy and Premium Economy fares, the innovations are rather negative - now they are at risk, when checking in their luggage, to face an attempt by check-in counters to limit their hand luggage to 5 kilograms instead of the previous 10. However, in most cases this is quite easy to get around with using the above list of personal items that, according to the FAR, are not subject to weighing or labeling and are not taken into account when calculating the cabin baggage allowance.

The baggage allowance for Economy and Premium Economy passengers is kept at the level of one piece of 23 kilograms. Carrying an additional piece of baggage for all fares still costs 2,000 rubles on domestic routes and 35-40 euros on international routes for each flight segment, that is, for connecting flights, the fee must be doubled. Free transportation of sports equipment is available only on Economy and Premium Economy fares.

It is not entirely clear yet whether the price ratio of the Promo and Economy tariffs themselves will change from November 20. Now, in most cases, the difference between them is much less than the cost of the subsequent addition of baggage, although it varies greatly from route to route. In other words, it is better to know even when buying a ticket whether you need to carry luggage or not.
