The s7 company is the second most popular air carrier in Russia, which is distinguished by a wide variety of services and often receives positive feedback from passengers. The legal name of the airline is Sibir. One of the most popular questions that interests tourists is the rules for carrying baggage s7, and in what cases you will have to pay extra for the service of transporting things.
Baggage is items that are transported separately and cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin, unlike hand luggage. The rules for carrying luggage bags and hand luggage are always different, so you should not confuse these two concepts.
Standards for baggage transportation at the Sibir company
S7 airlines depends on three parameters:
- Amount of space occupied - free of charge, 1 person can carry one bag or box.
- Baggage weight – the requirements here depend on the chosen fare. The "economy flexible" ticket specifies a free standard for 1 piece of luggage up to 23 kg, the "business basic" fare allows you to carry 1 piece of luggage up to 32 kg, and "business flexible" customers can carry 2 pieces of luggage weighing up to 32 kg without paying. each.
- Dimensions in three parameters - width, height and length. The free standard for “flexible economy” and business class tickets is no more than 203 cm based on the sum of three parameters.
Participants in the special Priority Siberia program can count on additional baggage space of up to 23-32 kg, depending on the card level. For some routes, the free standard may be increased; details should be obtained by calling the airline at 8 800 700-0707 or +7 495 783-0707.
Also, in addition to the established norm, tourist s7 can carry sports equipment as luggage for free - winter sports accessories, boots, skis, ski poles, helmet. These items are considered in addition to the main baggage. Sports equipment should be packed in a separate case - the free weight for an economy ticket should not exceed 23 kg, and no more than 32 kg for business fares. If the equipment weighs more, you will have to pay for the excess.
When purchasing a ticket from s7 for the “basic economy” class, only hand luggage is free, but baggage transportation is paid according to established standards. Therefore, passengers often do not understand how much luggage costs on an s7 plane if the ticket does not include luggage? Delivery of items in the “basic economy” class will cost 2,500 rubles. You should pay for such baggage when purchasing an air ticket on the official website, or directly at the airport.
When paying for baggage and purchasing a ticket online at the same time, the passenger receives a 28% discount, so he will only need to pay 1,800 rubles. After issuing a ticket, you can pay for the service only at the contact center or at the airport.
It is worth noting that flying with the “basic economy” fare will only be beneficial if you are traveling without luggage. Otherwise, it is better to take a “basic flexible”, where you can choose a seat in the cabin and carry 1 luggage bag for free.
How much does excess baggage cost in other classes? If a passenger requires additional space to transport a bag weighing up to 23 kg and no more than 203 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions, then he will have to pay 2.5 thousand rubles for 1 or 2 seats in excess of the established standard. For transfer transportation - a flight with transfers, the cost increases to 2.5 thousand rubles. For 3 and subsequent seats in excess of the established standard, the passenger will need to pay an additional 7,500 rubles, and for a transfer flight - 15 thousand rubles.
How much will the surcharge be according to the s7 airlines baggage allowance when the bag weighs more than the free allowance, but does not exceed 203 cm according to 3 measurement parameters? More than 23 kg and up to 32 kg - you need to pay an additional 2500 for a direct route and 5 thousand for a flight with transfers. Weight from 32 to 50 kg – payment of 5 thousand for a regular flight and 10 thousand for transfer transportation.

Items that exceed the norm of 32 kilograms are considered heavy. The decision to deliver such items is made by the airline, and the decision depends on the fullness of the cargo compartment and the type of aircraft. Before the flight, you should check the information about your luggage by calling the contact number or sending a request using the feedback form.
If a tourist transports things through the Customs Union, then he should familiarize himself with the transportation rules in advance. Detailed information is available on the Domodedovo customs portal. You can also fill out a customs declaration online on the portal.
