Dimensions of hand luggage on board Ural airlines. Ural airlines' baggage and carry-on baggage allowances. Special cases of baggage

Each passenger, intending to fly with Ural Airlines, must know the rules of baggage transportation of Ural Airlines in 2019 - transportation of hand and checked-in seats. Otherwise, at the airport, tourists often encounter bans and restrictions on baggage or unchecked baggage. The situations described lead to the loss of money and nerve cells. Therefore, it is best to familiarize yourself with the standards adopted by the airline.

Carriage of hand luggage

The first limitation of Ural Airlines concerns the weight of baggage carried in the cabin. How many kg are allowed per family, how the seats are summed up, depends on the ticket fare.

The dimensions of hand luggage are the same for all airplane fares, amounting to 0.55 x 0.4 x 0.2 m.

Items prohibited for carriage in carry-on baggage

• Highly flammable compounds in any physical form.
• Poisons and toxic substances, corrosive agents.
• Pepper aerosols, attaché cases.
• Content that emits radiation or is capable of exploding.
• Bags for transporting funds.
• Termite matches and oxidizing compounds.

Ural Airlines strongly recommends not to turn on Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphones and prohibits the use of a charger due to cases of spontaneous combustion of models.

Luggage transportation

The airline considers both checked and unchecked seats as baggage. Weight depends on the cost of the tariff. The limiting dimensions are 0.5 x 0.5 x 1 m and no more than 203 cm in 3 lengths.

Exceeding the standards is paid. If the overweight concerns a place of 23 kg, then the traveler needs to pay 2 thousand rubles. Accordingly, for 2 such places - 4 thousand rubles. These numbers are valid for internal lines.

For external airlines the surcharge in excess of the norm depends on the type of fare

The detailed list is published by the official website uralairlines.ru of Ural Airlines. Items prohibited from carry-on and checked-in baggage are the same, except for things like scooters, segways or lithium scooters. It should be borne in mind that it is unnecessary to place food with a short shelf life, valuables, keys, documents, fragile items in the checked baggage.

Liquid transport standards

The restrictions on the volumes of liquids transported with Ural Airlines apply only to hand-held seats.

Travelers can take aerosols and other liquid substances with them into the cabin under the following conditions:

According to statistics, about 35% of tourists violated baggage and carry-on baggage allowances at least once, paid extra for violations of transportation standards at the Ural Airlines ticket offices. Some of the airline's customers had to resort to tricks - to put on 2-3 personal items, leave some of the items to the people seeing off. Other people were forced to just throw away food, drinks and things. Avoid uncomfortable situations and save 2 thousand rubles or more. and more will help acquaintance 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 all over 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 the well-known Russian company Ural Airlines. What can this air carrier offer to its customers, which distinguishes it favorably from competitors and partners around the world and in the Russian Federation in particular?

Carry-on baggage rules on Ural Airlines aircraft in 2019

Carry-on baggage closer to the body. The passenger should carefully consider all the things that he plans to take with him to the aircraft cabin in terms of safety and comfort. And the main thing is not to overdo it either in size or in weight.

Weight and dimensions. Size matters?

The official website of the airline notifies that, according to the established norms, the size of carry-on baggage for all classes of service and tariffs should not go beyond 55x40x20 cm.

These are fairly common dimensions for most air carriers, so beginners and seasoned 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. The same official information from Ural Airlines states that:

1. Passengers of Promo, Economy, Premium Economy fares are allowed to take with them one piece of hand luggage no more than 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.

Such are the pleasant bonuses for the owners of expensive tickets.

Official information from the air carrier clearly establishes what is not included in the concept of carry-on baggage and for which the passenger will have to pay significantly:

• 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, not in carry-on baggage.

Travel baggage and carry-on baggage

And now for the most interesting part. What can you take with you in hand luggage according to the rules of Ural Airlines? Both economy class and owners of more expensive tickets can take with them a light snack (cookies, fruits, sandwiches), some liquid (no more than 100 ml!), Cosmetics (no more than 100 ml!), Newspapers, magazines, books , wet wipes and other safe stuff.

Also, keep in mind that the following items are not considered carry-on baggage, but are allowed for free:

• handbag or briefcase;
• folder for papers;
• umbrella or cane;
• bouquet of flowers;
• outerwear;
• in-flight reading materials;
• baby food for a child during the flight, soft baby carrier when transporting a child;
• cellular telephone, camera, video camera;
• portable computer;
• suit in a garment bag.

The carriage of hand luggage by this air carrier does not differ from colleagues in the matter of prohibited things. Cannot be transported in the aircraft cabin:

• explosives, explosives and items filled with them;
• compressed and liquefied gases;
• flammable liquids;
• flammable solids;
• oxidizing substances and organic peroxides;
• radioactive materials;

It is also considered extremely dangerous to transport disabling devices containing irritating or paralytic substances and attaché cases with protective devices, special boxes, briefcases for carrying cash, etc., which contain dangerous goods, such as lithium batteries and / or pyrotechnics.

For detailed information on permitted and prohibited things in baggage and hand luggage, see the official website of the airline or check it when buying tickets from a specialist.

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

If everything became clear with hand luggage, let's figure out the baggage rules for Ural Airlines. As is the case with suitcases, bags and backpacks in the cabin, Ural Airlines' official website 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 air ticket prices:

• Promo fare - 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 seats up to 32 kg.

For the information of passengers, the rules regarding the flight of children from 0 to 2 years old without a separate seat have not changed. They are still entitled to up to 10 kg of personal luggage for free (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 pc;
• 1 pc;
• 2 pc.

So, luggage 1pc means that the passenger has the right to carry 1 piece of baggage within the weight and overall dimensions of the purchased fare. Respectively 2 pc means two places for suitcases. AND 0 pc implies the cheapest baggage-free tariff.

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

If possible, it is better to grab a bag for each person separately. It's calmer and safer this way.

Be careful: the allowed baggage allowances for some of the company's flights differ from the standard ones in both Economy and Business classes! Check this information in advance.

Baggage supplement: how much does 1 kg overweight cost in an airline?

Of course, every passenger tries to avoid overweight and fit into their baggage allowances. But situations happen 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:

• Baggage check-in time in excess of the norm (the earlier, the cheaper). Ural Airlines have the right to refuse to carry excess baggage if they do not have the technical capability, and the passenger decided not to inform about it in advance. Always notify the air carrier about such nuances no later than a day before departure! And the surcharge will be cheaper, and the cargo will most likely fly away without problems.
• Flight range. 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 weighting system does not always work. On the official page of Ural Airlines, there is a special table that sets the amount of surcharge within a certain overweight, without reference to specific extra kilograms, regardless of whether it is economy or business class.

Conditions for the carriage of animals

A passenger who wants to transport his pet in the cabin of the aircraft or in the luggage compartment must inform the Ural Airlines employees about this at least 24 hours before departure. Reservation of "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.

Passengers traveling 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. The airline does not carry animals there in the aircraft cabin.

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 transported.

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

Overweight baggage at the airport can incur additional costs. Before you go on a trip, you should know in advance what norms of carriage of goods are accepted by Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and many others, etc.

Weighing baggage at the airport

There are 2 systems:

• weight;
• depending on the number of seats.

If we talk about the first, then it assumes only that the weight of your luggage will be limited. For example, if you can carry only 20 kg, then at no additional charge you can take only 2 suitcases with you, 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 baggage.

For example, an airline has determined that 20 kg can be carried. You take 2 suitcases with you. 1 bag - 17 kg, and 2 bag - 11 kg. You need to calculate the total amount, it is 28 kg. Subtract your allowed baggage weight, you get the following value: 28 - 20 \u003d 8. You will have to pay extra for 8 kg.

There is another system that 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 baggage cost

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

Situation 1. You took 2 suitcases with you on a trip. The first one you slightly loaded - 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 baggage. 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 in the number of seats, there will be an excess of 5 kg in weight.

How much does excess baggage cost?

The cost of excess baggage depends on the standards used by the airline and 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 differ from company to company.

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

For 1 kg overweight, an amount equal to 1.5% of the ticket will be charged. Alternatively, the carrier can set a fixed size. Usually, the cost of 1 kg of overweight fluctuates within reasonable limits, from 5 to 10 euros will be charged from a passenger.

For example, you are going to fly from Paris to Berlin. In Economy Class, you can carry a suitcase weighing less than 20 kg. Your bag weighs 24 kg. We can say that the overweight was 4 kg. If the fare for carrying baggage 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 extra baggage that you occupy and for the kilograms carried over the norm.

For example, if you are flying from Milan to London, you are entitled to 23 kg of baggage free of charge. Let's say you have a heavy bag, its weight is 31 kg. The airline has set tariffs, if the weight of the baggage is more than 23 kg, but less than 32 kg, you will have to pay 100 euros. Consider how much you exceeded the norm, it doesn't 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 have taken 2 bags with you on your 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 piece than to pay for the carriage of baggage in excess of the established standards. It is recommended to always have a small amount with you, then the demand of the airport staff will not take you by surprise.

Another example is worth considering. 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. We can say that the airport staff will record the excess not only in terms of baggage weight, there will be an excess in the number of seats. You will have to pay 100 euros for transporting heavy suitcases. Also, be prepared to pay € 50 for 1 extra bed. As a result, you will pay 150 euros.

What can be done in such a situation? It's best to put some of your heaviest suitcase into a lighter bag. As a result, you will only pay extra for 1 additional 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. In most airports, it will simply not be transported, you will have to deal with sending things on your own. In many airports around the world, movers will not carry bags weighing more than 32 kg. They are forbidden to do this. Explore. Almost every airport is provided, but it is paid.

There is one more rule worth paying attention to. It is about coordinating the transportation of oversized cargo. Be sure to notify Utair or another carrier, otherwise the suitcase may not be accepted for carriage. The air 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 counter 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 baggage on the plane. Of course, we are talking about 2-3 kg.

Payment counter for additional services at Domodedovo airport

Examine the information it provides to clients. Possible surcharge for overweight not only at the airport. For example, in 2019, UTair will allow 23 kg of baggage to be carried in Economy Class. Aeroflot has established similar norms. But in the class economy comfort and business, 2 additional places of 32 kg are provided. Special conditions are offered to the participants of the Utair "Status" program. For more information, contact the representative of the air carrier.

How to avoid exceeding the norms

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

Example of a scale for weighing luggage

Find out the cost of your Business Class tickets. Such tickets are offered by Aeroflot and can be purchased at UTair.

Passengers, purchasing 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 an overweight. Nevertheless, it is still worth studying the information of air carriers.

Explore the offers that are available to the airline's customers within the bonus programs. High status travelers can carry heavy suitcases. With a weighing system, you will be able to carry an additional 10 kg of baggage on the plane. With a system that takes into account the number of seats, you will be entitled to 1 additional piece with 23 kg of luggage. Such privileges are provided to participants of the bonus system who have received a silver or gold status. Uteyr 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 shift things into it.

The airline "" intends to change the baggage and carry-on baggage allowance. The new standards look rather strange and atypical. The innovations will apply to tickets sold from November 20, according to sob.corr. website.

The main changes concern the cheapest "Promo" tariffs. Currently, passengers with such tickets can carry only 10 kilograms of hand luggage for free (plus a briefcase or handbag, garment bag, 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 (FAP)). For tickets sold since November 20, there is a strange free allowance - 5 kilograms in carry-on baggage (plus the above personal items) and 10 kilograms in checked baggage. In addition, the carry-on baggage allowance has been reduced from 10 to 5 kilograms for all economy class fares, not just Promo fares.

The new norm, firstly, will upset passengers who are accustomed to taking these 10 kilograms with them into the aircraft cabin (for example, in the form of a small backpack or a small wheeled bag). Secondly, it does not quite correspond to the FAP, which stipulate only 10 free kilograms, but at the same time actually giving the passenger a choice - whether to check them in or take them to the cabin as carry-on 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 each 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 real weight of hand luggage.

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

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

The baggage allowance for passengers of Economy and Premium Economy fares has been kept at the level of one piece of 23 kg. 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 charge must be doubled. Free transportation of sports equipment is available only on Economy and Premium Economy fares.

It is not quite clear yet whether the price ratio of the "Promo" and "Economy" tariffs 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 will need to carry your luggage or not.
