On S7 Airlines flights, in the form of hand luggage, economy class passengers carry personal items permitted for transportation in the aircraft cabin, with a total weight of up to 10 kg and dimensions of no more than 55x40x20 cm. It is rational to take with you: money, documents, fragile equipment and gadgets, jewelry and anything that will be necessary during the flight. Hand luggage must be placed in the luggage compartment above the passenger seat or under the seat.

In addition to hand luggage of the specified size, the passenger has the right to carry free of charge:

• a backpack, handbag, or briefcase, the weight of which should not exceed 5 kg, and dimensions - 75 cm in the sum of three dimensions;
• bouquet of flowers;
• outerwear;
• baby food for the child during the flight;
• suit in a suitcase;
• devices for carrying and transporting a child, the dimensions of which do not exceed 55x40x20 cm;

• devices necessary for moving (crutches, canes, walkers, etc.);
• purchases from Duty Free, the weight of which does not exceed 3 kg.

Since November 2017, mobile phones, cameras, laptops and books have been excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free in excess of the hand luggage allowance

It is important that since November 2017, mobile phones, cameras, laptops and books have been excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free in addition to hand luggage. However, this does not mean that you will be charged for a cell phone or tablet. It’s just that they, along with all other items of hand luggage, must fit within 10 kg of weight.

Restrictions on the size and weight of baggage are related to airline requirements, the size of baggage compartments, as well as standards established by the longshoremen's union. As a rule, porters refuse to lift suitcases weighing more than 32 kg.

The following are strictly not allowed for transportation in hand luggage:

• weapons and ammunition (even toy ones);
• explosive, toxic, radioactive, caustic or poisonous substances;
• piercing and cutting objects (knives, corkscrews, knitting needles, scissors, nail files, blades, etc.);
• laser pointers;
• any liquids in containers with a volume of more than 100 ml;
• aerosols intended for use for sports or household purposes;
• internal combustion engines;
• mercury thermometers.

However, transportation of the above is possible in checked baggage if you have permits.

Transportation of the above is possible in checked baggage, subject to availability of permits

Carrying oversized hand luggage is permitted if the passenger has informed the airline in advance of his intentions and paid for its transportation in accordance with the current tariff. If a passenger wants to take on board more than was agreed upon, then baggage can only be checked in if there is free space and willingness to pay for it. Carrying handles and fastening devices are required.

For the carriage of baggage on a passenger seat, a separate travel document is issued, the cost of which is 100% of the cost of the ticket of the accompanying passenger. However, the weight of such baggage should not exceed the average weight of a passenger (80 kg), and its dimensions should allow it to be placed on separate passenger seats.

Current rules for transporting baggage in economy class

The free baggage allowance is set by S7 Airlines depending on the type of fare and class of service. Passengers traveling on the Economy Flexible fare are allowed to carry 23 kg of personal items in the luggage compartment. If it is necessary to carry more volume or weight in the luggage compartment, an additional payment is provided in accordance with the data in the table.

Since November 2017, a new “Economy Flexible” fare has been introduced, which provides for flights without luggage (only 10 kg of hand luggage). On average, such a ticket will cost 20% less than the Economy Flexible fare.

Baggage is accepted for transportation upon passenger check-in at the airport. The airline representative gives him part of the luggage tag, and the other part is attached directly to the suitcase.

The weight of one piece of baggage should not exceed 50 kilograms, with the exception of wheelchairs and other assistive devices used by passengers with disabilities. The carrier has the right to refuse to accept baggage whose weight and size do not meet international requirements.

If you have a connecting flight and the wait at the transfer point exceeds 24 hours, then your luggage is checked in only to the transfer airport

If you have a connecting flight and the wait at the transfer point exceeds 24 hours, then your baggage is checked in only to the transfer airport. Even in the case of baggage check-in to the final destination, the passenger is obliged to comply with all the requirements of customs legislation at transfer points.

From the moment checked baggage is handed over for transportation until the moment it is issued, passenger access to the baggage is prohibited, except in cases of its identification or additional inspection by the relevant services.

To minimize the likelihood of losing your own belongings, follow these recommendations:

• take a photo of them before departure, this will make it easier to describe the loss in the event of force majeure;
• Mark your suitcase with brightly colored tape;
• control the safety of all parts of luggage tags.

If it is impossible to receive checked baggage at the destination airport, you must contact a baggage tracing employee, provide transportation documents and fill out the prescribed documents.

Transportation of animals

According to the terms of S7 Airlines, transportation of animals as baggage or hand luggage is only allowed for cats, dogs and birds. In this case, the passenger is obliged to inform the airline about the transportation of the animal no later than two days before departure. Transportation of wild animals, insects, and fish is strictly prohibited by company rules.

The cat, dog or bird must be placed in a special container or cage with a locking mechanism. Its size is designed to allow the animal to stand up and turn around. Containers must have a waterproof bottom covered with absorbent material, and the cages must have a thick fabric covering.

In one carrier, no more than two adult animals weighing up to 14 kg or three animals of the same litter no older than 6 months are allowed. Individuals heavier than 14 kg must be transported in separate containers.

A passenger transporting a pet must provide valid documents on its health status, as well as other documents if required by the legislation of the countries of departure, transit or destination. If you are transporting an animal, it is not subject to the free baggage allowance. Transportation is paid separately, based on the weight of the animal along with the carrier.

A passenger transporting a pet must provide valid documents regarding its health status

Transportation in the aircraft cabin is possible if:

• the weight of the animal with carrying does not exceed 8 kg;
• its height is less than 20 cm, and its size does not exceed 115 cm in the sum of three dimensions;
• one adult passenger carries one container with an animal.
• there is prior agreement with the carrier;

During the flight, the container with the animal must be placed under the seat of the seat in front

Guide dogs have the right to be transported at the end of the aircraft cabin free of charge and in excess of the established baggage allowance. However, it is necessary to provide the appropriate documents, as well as the presence of a collar, muzzle and leash for tethering at the owner’s feet.

The animal will have to be “checked in as baggage” if:

• its weight or carrying dimensions exceed the parameters specified above;
• one passenger transports more than one container with animals;
• The quota for transporting animals in the cabin has been exceeded.

We hope that the article was informative for all S7 Airlines passengers, and knowledge of this information will help avoid force majeure situations and make any trip enjoyable and memorable.

Finding cheap flights

Air carrier S7 regulates standards for the transportation of hand luggage, guided by generally accepted rules for the transportation of goods on passenger airliners. However, the company also applies its own restrictions. When booking a ticket for an S7 airline flight, you must take into account the tariff system that determines the parameters for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage for each of them. Before purchasing, you should study the existing rules to ensure that you pack your belongings correctly.

Carry-on baggage restrictions and transportation rules

According to the carry-on baggage rules for the S7, restrictions are set on the weight and dimensions of items taken into the cabin by an air passenger. They should also define what cannot be taken as hand luggage on S7 aircraft and what is allowed for transportation.

Similarly, baggage rules are established for each S7 fare group.

Dimensions

The parameters of hand luggage on S7 aircraft are checked within specially established limits near the check-in counters. They are common to all tariffs and correspond to dimensions 55x20x40 cm.

The same size limits for all classes are due to the size of the luggage compartments and the conditions that must be met for flight safety.

Weight

Maximum weight of luggage to be placed in the S7 cabin in accordance with the type of fare:

Tariff type	Weight, kg
Economy Basic	10
Economy Flexible	10
Business Basic	15
Business Flexible	15

For S7 business class fares, in addition to the increased weight of luggage, it is also established that you can take two pieces of 15 kg each on an S7 plane as hand luggage instead of one.

Carry-on baggage that exceeds the weight is not allowed into the cabin of an S7 aircraft. You can remove some things or put them in luggage checked into the cargo compartment so that the parameters of the bag meet the standards.

Items allowed to be transported in hand luggage in excess of the standard

In addition to a hand luggage bag with the specified parameters, you can freely carry the following items into the cabin of the S7 aircraft:

• a suit placed in a briefcase and outerwear;
• bouquet of flowers;
• food for the baby during the flight;
• medicines and vital dietary products in volumes not exceeding requirements during the flight;
• purchased items in Duty Free, located in a sealed plastic bag, the weight of which is limited to 3 kg, and the total dimensions do not exceed 75 cm;
• stroller and baby carriers that fit within the allowed parameters of 55x20x40 cm;
• folding strollers for disabled people, other auxiliary aids for disabled people (walkers, crutches, etc.), the dimensions of which do not prevent their placement on the top luggage rack or under the seat installed in front.

Photo and video equipment, mobile gadgets, when weighed simultaneously with the suitcase that you want to carry into the cabin of the aircraft, should not exceed 10 kg. This is the stated weight limit for hand luggage.

Important! Strollers (if a child is traveling at the same time) and means of transportation for disabled people that are not included in the size limits are checked into the cargo compartment and transported free of charge. If children under 11 years of age are not traveling on S7 flights, the stroller is considered excess baggage.

Many people are interested in whether a handbag is considered carry-on luggage in S7. No, it is considered an item allowed to be carried in addition to hand luggage. A briefcase or backpack can be carried in the same way, but their weight in the S7 for free transportation in excess of hand luggage is limited to 5 kg, and their dimensions are limited to 75 cm.

Items that are not allowed in hand luggage

For S7 aircraft there is a list of items that cannot be carried. It is important to know that they are prohibited from being packed either in hand luggage or in a suitcase to be sent to the cargo hold. Among them:

• explosives, including firecrackers;
• gasoline and other flammable liquids, paint, matches;
• corrosive substances;
• poisons and toxins;
• compressed gas in cylinders.

• firearms and gas weapons, ammunition for them;
• piercing and cutting objects for any purpose: axes, knives, knitting needles, manicure files, scissors, etc.;

• gasoline engines.

Is it possible, when traveling with S7, to take these items out of hand luggage and check them in? Yes, you can transport them in the cargo hold, but there are special transportation conditions for weapons and ammunition, including the need to obtain a permit.

The rules for transporting baggage and hand luggage on S7 aircraft provide for the standards for transporting liquids:

• you can carry packaged liquid, the volume of which will not exceed 100 ml;
• the total amount of all liquid substances in hand luggage (perfume, toothpaste, aerosols, etc.) is limited to one liter.

Important! Carefully check the amount of liquids prepared for transportation. Any excess that does not fit into the allowable volume for hand luggage should be packed in a suitcase to be sent to the cargo compartment.

Exceeding the dimensions and positions of hand luggage

It is prohibited to exceed the carry-on baggage allowance in S7. If for transportation in the cargo compartment it is allowed to purchase an additional item or pay for checked baggage at current rates, when the size of the bag included in the norm is exceeded, then for hand luggage these conditions are no longer relevant.

There are items that are not prohibited for carriage in luggage by S7 Airlines, but for various reasons it turns out that they cannot be carried in the luggage compartment. These are, for example, large musical instruments. You can reserve a seat next to you in the aircraft cabin for them. But first you must call the Call Center (8 800 700–0707) to coordinate transportation. An additional requirement is to pack the instrument in a case that will allow it to be securely secured to the seat. The maximum weight of such cargo is 80 kg.

Important! With purchase extra space For a musical instrument, you will not be entitled to carry one more piece of hand luggage or baggage.

How to transport animals

S7 Airlines provides two ways to transport pets: in the luggage compartment and in the cabin. S7 establishes the following rules for transporting animals in hand luggage:

1. Only cats, dogs or birds are allowed to be transported.
2. The weight of each animal in the cabin must be limited to 8 kg (total weight including container). The maximum dimensions of the container for a pet are 115 cm with a mandatory height of up to 20 cm, allowing it to be placed under the seat.
3. A pet carrier should provide a flow of fresh air and an unconstrained position for the animal. The cells are covered with fabric on top to prevent the penetration of light. The floor of the carrier is covered with absorbent material.
4. A cage with an animal is not included in the permitted carry-on baggage item and is always paid for separately.
5. You must inform about your desire to transport an animal 2 days or earlier before the departure of the aircraft and agree on transportation. Payment for the service is made at the airport on the eve of departure or at S7 representative offices.

Important! S7 company has the right to refuse to transport an animal. A maximum of 2 containers of non-antagonistic pet species are allowed into the Economy Class cabin. Animals are not allowed in business class.

1. Keep the cage closed throughout the flight period.
2. It is prohibited to sit with an animal on seats in the area of ​​emergency exits.
3. In accordance with the law, animals are transported only accompanied by documents certifying their health and the necessary vaccinations.

Before traveling internationally, familiarize yourself with the conditions for importing animals that exist at the airport of the destination country.

You will need to check in luggage for pet carriers that do not meet the maximum parameters for weight, size, or if there is more than one cage per passenger.

Guide dogs are transported in the passenger cabin without payment, accompanied by supporting documents. These pets must be collared and muzzled and secured to the passenger seat at the feet. A traveler with such a dog can only sit in the back of the plane.

The rules for carrying hand luggage at S7 are quite flexible compared to other air carriers, and if they are strictly followed, the trip will be comfortable.

S7 Airline is a Russian air carrier founded in 1992. Based at Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk). Until 2006 it was called “Sibir”, but then a serious rebranding was carried out. Operates regular and charter flights both within Russia and abroad.

How much hand luggage does the S7 allow you to carry, and what are the content restrictions?

Dimensions

Carry-on baggage s7 (or rather, each piece) cannot be larger than 55x40x20 centimeters. In this case, this is absolutely not a whim of the airline, but a restriction dictated by the fact that the passenger must place the item (bag, backpack, etc.) on a lockable shelf near the ceiling, or under the seat in front (of his choice). But the space there is not unlimited - after all, for example, in the Airbus A320 up to 180 people can fly at the same time, and there must be enough space for their luggage.

S7 aircraft

Note! In some seats (near emergency exits, in the front row) you cannot put things under the seat. Therefore, they need to be placed (at least during takeoff and landing) only on a special shelf overhead.

How is the size of hand luggage controlled?

As a rule, airline employees do not approach passengers at the airport with tape measures - this is not necessary. There are special template frames installed near the racks. If an item (suitcase, backpack, etc.) fits in such a frame, it can be carried free of charge.

The passenger can carry out the appropriate checks independently, even before check-in. At the same time, it is not at all a fact that everyone flying will have to undergo such a procedure. Often the dimensions are assessed visually, but if they already raise suspicion (for example, a suitcase or backpack is clearly larger than 55x40x20), then they may ask you to put the item in a frame to check the fit.

Weight

According to the rules, one piece of hand luggage carried on an S7 airline aircraft cannot weigh more than 10 kg (for economy class fares - “Economy Basic” and “Economy Flexible”) or 15 kg (for business class fares - “Business Basic”) " and "Business Flexible").

Number of seats

In hand luggage - 1 piece for economy class and 2 pieces for business class.

Size check area for hand luggage S7

What can you carry in hand luggage in addition to the specified allowance?

The S7 company rules, consistent with current legislation, define the following list:

• a handbag, backpack or briefcase, the weight of which does not exceed 5 kg, and the dimensions (the sum of three dimensions) - 75 cm;
• outerwear (type not regulated);
• a bouquet of flowers (its size and weight are not specified);
• suit in a suitcase;
• goods purchased in duty-free shops at the airport of departure (including liquids), placed in a sealed bag with a receipt attached to it. At the same time, the overall dimensions of such a package in the sum of three dimensions cannot exceed 75 cm, and the weight - 3 kg.
• crutches, canes, walkers, rollators, folding wheelchairs and other similar devices used by a passenger with limited mobility. During the flight, he will need to put such an item in a lockable luggage rack (under the ceiling), or put it under a seat that is one row ahead;
• medications or diet foods. The quantity is determined by the passenger’s needs during the flight;
• a cradle, a car seat and other devices for a child under two years old, as well as a stroller or a child car seat for a child under 11 years old, if the dimensions of such an item do not exceed 55x40x20 cm and they can be placed on a shelf above the seat, or on floor, under the seat in front.

Stroller

Note! Strollers, seats, cradles and other restraint systems can be taken on a plane free of charge only if the child for whom they are intended is traveling on the same flight. In the case when the stroller is transported without a child, the standard requirements for carry-on luggage and baggage apply to its transportation.

Transportation of liquids

Liquid in this context refers not only to a substance in a liquid state. These include objects (including food) whose consistency is pasty or creamy. These are sauces, creams, pastes, gels, aerosols, canned food and much more. That is why, for example, you can freely carry hard cheese in your hand luggage, but if the variety is soft (Camembert, Brie, ricotta, mozzarella, feta and others), appropriate restrictions are imposed on it. Or you can put olives “by themselves” in your hand luggage, but if the package contains oil or other liquid in addition to them, then the rules below come into force. The same applies to cosmetics.

So, liquids can be carried in hand luggage, but subject to certain requirements.

1. The volume of each container cannot be more than 100 ml. That is, if the toothpaste is in a 125-ml tube, airport security officers will most likely take it away at the control;

Note! The packaging does not have to be original. This will not work with an aerosol deodorant or shaving gel due to the pressure inside the container, but, for example, shampoo can be easily poured into a container of the approved size (up to 100 ml inclusive).

1. Containers must be placed in a transparent bag with a zipper (usually a zipper is used). Its volume is also limited - it cannot be more than 1 liter;
2. If a passenger does not have such a package, it is damaged (torn) or does not meet the requirements, then an airport employee can issue it free of charge, or offer to purchase it for a small amount.
3. This package must be removed from the main piece of hand luggage (bag, backpack, etc.) and placed separately on the security belt for scanning.

Bag for packing liquids in hand luggage

Additional Information! Baby food (if the passenger is traveling with a child) is not subject to the 100 ml limit per container. But there is no need to take water - the flight attendant will bring it upon request.

What cannot be carried as hand luggage:

• piercing objects. Any, without exceptions. Even such harmless, at first glance, as manicure scissors or a nail file will be confiscated. However, plastic disposable knives and forks without pointed ends are permitted;
• toxic objects, as well as poisons;
• explosives and flammable substances;
• corrosive, oxidizing substances;
• weapons (separate requirements apply to their transportation);
• radioactive items;
• other things that the security officer deems dangerous.

The general criterion in this case is clear - you cannot take on board anything that can injure or kill other passengers or crew members, or carry out a terrorist attack on board (make an explosive device, etc.). Hence the very strict requirements for liquids, which many passengers perceive with hostility. But in the modern world, additional precautions are never superfluous.

What cannot be carried in hand luggage

Exceeding the size and quantity of hand luggage

S7 Airlines cannot arrange for excess carry-on baggage, even for extra money. Anything unnecessary (that is, that which does not fit into the established standards) must be checked in as baggage. Depending on the tariff, an additional fee may be charged for this - the cost varies accordingly. Therefore, the passenger is recommended, even when purchasing a ticket (especially for a basic, baggage-free fare), to decide whether in a particular case it is possible to meet the requirements for the weight and size of hand luggage, or whether he should immediately purchase additional luggage and be calm. After all, according to S7 tariffs, the fee for luggage at the airport is much more than directly in the process of purchasing an air ticket. Therefore, trying to save a relatively small amount can be costly in practice.

On a note! S7 Airlines has fairly strict requirements for passengers' carry-on luggage. This follows from the fact that even those who bought a ticket at the cheapest fare are allowed to take a bag, backpack, or other item weighing 10 kg into the cabin. While some competitors have already reduced this threshold to the minimum permitted by law 5 kg.

For this reason, the number of those who choose “Economy Basic” is increasing. After all, with certain tricks, a suitcase or backpack 55x40x20 is quite enough for a vacation lasting a week or two, or even more. There were no new additions (changes, restrictions, etc.) in 2018, and it is unknown whether there will be any.

Restrictions on the contents of hand luggage are not imposed by the airline. They are established by international aviation regulatory authorities, and these rules are followed at every airport.

Finding cheap flights

Each airline applies restrictions on the carriage of cargo on an airplane. These standards are presented on the websites of air carriers, and when booking a ticket, be sure to familiarize yourself with them. Otherwise, if you take excess baggage with you, you will have to pay for it in accordance with the proposed rates. At S7 airline, the surcharge rates for baggage and the rules for transporting it are not much different from the tariffs of other Russian air carriers.

Baggage options

Important! It is necessary to distinguish between checked suitcases and items that you will take with you to the cabin. Different restrictions apply to them.

All luggage parameters are divided into three categories:

1. Number of places. Each suitcase or bag carried is considered one piece. If there is more than one, an additional payment is assigned.
2. Weight. For S7 luggage, as with other companies, if the suitcase is overweight, you will have to pay the established tariff. This also applies to the excess weight of your bag, which is included in the free baggage allowance.
3. Dimensions. Checked baggage items, when summing up their length, height and width, must fit into 203 cm. You can take a bag into the cabin that does not exceed the dimensions of 55x40x20 cm.

To check the compliance of hand luggage with permitted standards, special restrictive cells are located near the check-in counters.

Cost and different tariffs

Three years ago, S7 introduced a tariff system, according to which you can choose the option that suits you. Each of them provides restrictions on baggage transportation:

1. Economy Basic. Registered cargo is paid separately. Its maximum weight is 23 kg. Items weighing up to 10 kg are allowed into the salon.
2. Economy Flexible. Free transportation of one piece of luggage weighing up to 23 kg is allowed.
3. Business Basic. Hand luggage - up to 15 kg, luggage compartment suitcase - up to 32 kg.
4. Business Flexible. You are allowed to carry two suitcases weighing up to 32 kg each; a bag weighing up to 15 kg can be taken into the cabin.

Important! Dimensions for carry-on and checked baggage remain standard for all fare types.

If you buy a ticket at the Economy Basic fare in S7, then the additional payment for luggage will be at least 2,500 rubles. Depending on the flight area, it may be higher, but this amount will be collected at the airport. And when you register online for a travel document and a piece of luggage at the same time, you will receive a 28% discount. Thus, the price is reduced to 1800 rubles.

By purchasing a ticket from S7, you can also purchase additional baggage service. This is a new offer that allows you to save money. How much a possible surcharge for excess baggage costs directly at the airport is determined by S7 rules. It depends on the flights or destinations served by S7, if excess baggage is allowed on the company’s aircraft.

Skiers are allowed to carry snowboards, skis and equipment free of charge, but with a weight limit. According to S7 Economy tariffs - up to 23 kg, Business - up to 32 kg, cost excess baggage determined in a general manner. The dimensions of sports cargo are not limited.

How much to pay above the norm

Air carrier S7 has developed rules for charging surcharges for excess baggage.

Domestic flights:

Baggage category	Type of excess	Additional payment, rub.
		Economy Basic	Business Basic	Economy Flexible Business is flexible
	1 place over the limit	2000	2000	2000
		2000	6000	6000
	Third or more places	6000	6000	6000
	23-32 kg	2000	2000	2000
	32-50 kg	4000	4000	4000
Exceeding dimensions		2000	2000	2000

The surcharge may also vary depending on the flight zones within Russia.

Important! If there is an excess for several categories of baggage, then an additional payment is made based on the total amount of excess of the standard.

For example, for a second baggage item that is oversized, the additional payment will be calculated as follows: 2000 + 2000 = 4000 rubles.

How much you need to pay extra for baggage in S7 when flying to foreign countries is determined by the destination served.

International flights:

Baggage category	Type of excess	Additional payment, EUR
		Economy Basic	Business Basic	Economy Flexible Business Flexible
Additional seats (if they fit into the parameters for weight and dimensions)	1 place over the limit	25	25	25
	Second place over the limit	25	80	80
	Third or more places	80	80	80
Excess weight (dimensions remain normal)	23-32 kg	25	25	25
	32-50 kg	50	50	50

S7 Airlines has set the cost of the surcharge for additional baggage in accordance with the time of request.

Transportation of animals

Animals are transported in S7 as paid excess cargo, that is, you have to pay extra for their transportation, even if you are entitled to a free piece of hand luggage or checked cargo.

You can arrange your transportation directly at the airport. No later than 48 hours before departure, you must notify the Contact Center that you will be traveling with an animal.

Where the animal will travel depends on its weight. The S7 company allows only pets to be carried in the cabin: dogs, cats, birds. Each animal in the cabin up to 8 kg must be in a cage or plastic container, which must provide it with access to air and a free position. The same requirements for a pet container apply when transported in the luggage compartment. The dimensions of the cage for hand luggage must be no more than 115 cm in total. The weight is determined by the total: animal + cage.

Pets that do not meet these parameters are transported in the luggage compartment.

Two individuals can be transported in one container when their weight is up to 14 kg and they are capable of peaceful behavior towards each other. Otherwise, if you exceed the weight, you can place a cage with one animal in the luggage compartment.

Important! Animals in the luggage compartment weighing more than 32 kg for the flight international flights often not allowed, except on flights to CIS countries. On domestic flights - by agreement with the Contact Center and only if there are available seats in the luggage compartment.

• in the aircraft cabin (weight up to 8 kg, dimensions up to 115 cm) - 2000 rubles;
• in the luggage compartment (weight up to 32 kg, dimensions up to 203 cm) - 4000 rubles, the same for weights up to 50 kg - 8000 rubles;
• dimensions more than 203 cm, weight up to 23 kg - 4000 rubles, up to 32 kg - 6000 rubles, up to 50 kg - 8000 rubles.

Additional payment for transportation on routes to CIS countries:

• in hand luggage - 35 euros;
• in the luggage compartment a standard cage less than 203 cm - 70 euros (weight 23-32 kg);
• cage over 203 cm (weight 23-32 kg) - 105 euros.

Surcharge on international flights:

• flight in the cabin of an S7 aircraft - 50 euros;
• in the luggage compartment - 100 euros (weight 23-32 kg);
• size exceeding 203 cm (weight 23-32 kg) corresponds to an additional payment of 150 euros.

To transport animals, in addition to additional payment, you will need veterinary documents certifying the animal’s health status.

What else to consider

If you fly with S7 at the Economy Basic fare, then the additional payment for baggage will cover the benefit of the reduced ticket price. The best option is to fly without a checked suitcase, only with hand luggage.

The S7 company does not allow you to take excess hand luggage into the cabin; it must be placed in your luggage, and the additional payment is made in accordance with the general rules.

Carry-on luggage, in addition to the bag or item established by the regulations, includes:

• outerwear;
• flower bouquets;
• duty-free goods (up to 3 kg, total dimensions 75 cm).

It is better to purchase additional luggage from the S7 carrier online in advance to avoid unnecessary costs.

If the cargo exceeds 203 cm and 32 kg, only S7 can decide on its delivery. The determining factors in this case are the size of the luggage compartment and the degree of its occupancy. If you are carrying such cargo, be sure to call the Contact Center in advance.

By strictly following the rules and navigating the variety of tariffs, you will be able to transport the necessary cargo with minimal costs and without unpleasant surprises before departure.

A passenger who is planning a flight on an airplane from Siberia Airlines should know what the rules are for carrying baggage and hand luggage on an S7 airplane in 2016. After all, the airline took this issue very seriously, so it specifically spelled out the basic requirements, as did other carriers. It would be useful to know in advance all these subtleties that an airplane passenger must take into account when transporting luggage. Knowing how much baggage costs on an S7 plane in 2016, you can easily plan how many things you can take.

Passengers air transport can take with them the necessary things, which are divided into two categories regarding size and weight:

1. Hand luggage.
2. Baggage.

When boarding the plane, luggage is not taken into the cabin, so the passenger does not have access to his belongings until the end of the flight. The S7 carry-on baggage will be close to the passenger, but you are only allowed to carry a certain bag size and permitted weight. The transportation rules state the following:

1. For economy class, you are allowed to use 1 seat on a special shelf if the flight is carried out by 1 passenger.
2. In business class cabins you can use 2 pieces or more weight of hand luggage than in economy class.
3. If a flight is planned by two family members, then hand luggage is divided into two parts, that is, on one seat must accommodate both the passenger himself and his luggage carried in the cabin.

The average size of hand luggage allowed for carriage in the cabin by almost all air companies must correspond to the following dimensions:

• height – 53-55 cm;
• length – 35-40 cm;
• thickness – 15-20 cm.

The sum of the dimensions of hand luggage on an S7 plane can be approximately 110-115 centimeters.

There are compartments above the seats for carrying hand luggage

Hand baggage weight

To find out exactly what weight of hand luggage is allowed to be carried in the cabin, you should visit the official website of the carrier company, since each company has special requirements for this item.
Usually you are allowed to take necessary things into the salon, the weight of which does not exceed 10 kilograms. And luggage, which is checked into a separate compartment of the aircraft, can weigh 20-23 kg.

It should be remembered that if hand luggage carries more weight than allowed by the airline, then passengers will have to pay extra for each extra kilogram. To prevent such a situation, you should clearly choose exactly those things that may be needed during the flight.

Carrying baggage on an S7 aircraft must comply with the rules. That is, there are permitted and prohibited items for transportation on board. It is prohibited to take with liquid substances:

• plain water and carbonated drinks;
• liquid food;
• eau de toilette and perfume;
• liquid that is in a can.

You can have small amounts of water with you, up to about 1 liter per person. If passengers need to carry a certain item with them, which is in a sealed package, then it must be opened and poured into a regular container. There should be no more than 1 liter of such substance.

Please remember that each airline has its own baggage requirements. To accurately determine this issue, it is recommended to visit the official websites of carrier companies before flying.

If a flight is necessary for a sick person who always needs to have a certain amount of liquid or medicine on hand, then he must present a certificate to airline employees about his own health.

It is also prohibited to take home-made food into the salon. Passengers can only bring on board the aircraft what they purchased after passing mandatory controls in special waiting areas.

Other Important Requirements

Passengers are not allowed to transport products of animal origin in the cabin: skins and furs, elephant tusks and much more. You should not bring dairy or meat products with you. The exception is infant formula and meals prescribed to passengers by doctors.

Items containing lithium batteries may not be carried in carry-on or checked luggage. If passengers really need to transfer such luggage, then they need to be checked in separately. That is, indicate in the declaration that especially dangerous cargo is being transported in accordance with the procedure for transporting cargo by the company.

You cannot take on board firearms, as well as children's toys made in their analogue, and various types of ammunition. All types of explosives and flammable substances are prohibited. Cutting and sharp objects, including manicure scissors, are also prohibited. Such products must be in luggage, and passengers will have access to them after the air transport lands.

Allowed list

Passengers can carry the following items in hand luggage:

• all types of documents, mobile devices, tablets and laptops. These things must be in the cabin to avoid an unpleasant situation when collecting luggage;
• medications and injections. But as mentioned earlier, before boarding, a person who needs a constant supply of medications, for example, a diabetic, must show the employees a certificate of health. If medications are carried for preventive purposes, it is better to leave them in luggage;
• baby formula if you need to feed your baby along the way;
• drinking water no more than one liter per person. The liquid must be poured into a plastic bottle and placed in a special bag with a zipper for secure fixation;
• disabled or injured people are allowed to take crutches into the salon if the person cannot move without them;
• electronic cigarettes, which must be packaged like the liquid, that is, in a plastic bag with a zipper.

Note! Although electronic cigarettes can be taken on board, smoking them during the flight is strictly prohibited.

Baggage transportation costs

When purchasing air tickets, the cost of luggage is also taken into account. That is, the passenger will not pay anything extra for luggage if the weight and dimensions of the luggage comply with transportation standards. If the luggage weighs more, you will have to pay extra for exceeding the permissible size.
How much does luggage cost on an S 7 plane in 2016 if its weight is exceeded, the carrier’s company employees will say. This takes into account the weight and dimensions of both luggage and hand luggage. Carrying luggage on an airplane in S7, if you approach the issue in advance, is a simple and hassle-free matter.
