You are planning a trip and are thinking about buying air tickets, or have already purchased air tickets and are clarifying information about baggage and hand luggage - Avianiti will briefly tell you what to look for and what the requirements for baggage transportation are.

S7 Airlines baggage requirements depend on air ticket fares. When purchasing air tickets, carefully look at the tariff: the airline indicates what baggage is allowed to be carried for free. Typically these are items for the cabin (hand luggage) weighing up to 10 kg and one piece of checked baggage weighing up to 23 kg.

Certain benefits are provided to customers who own S7 Priority program cards - the airline allows additional baggage to be carried free of charge. This is either increased luggage weight or a free second seat.

The cost of S7 Airlines tickets includes the transportation of hand luggage and baggage checked into the aircraft's luggage compartment. If the amount of baggage exceeds the allowed free volume, the passenger must pay for it. This can be done through the airline’s website, by calling the call center or at the airport when checking in for a flight.

The cost of excess baggage, tariffs in Russia, prices are indicated in rubles.

Excess baggage costs, tariffs for European flights, prices are in euros.

Prices for additional baggage are indicated on the official website of S7 Airlines; information about the cost of baggage will be provided at the carrier’s free call center.

Carry-on baggage requirements

Even the baggage-free fare for S7 Airlines tickets includes the carriage of hand luggage in the cabin. A passenger is allowed to carry one piece free of charge: a bag, a backpack, a box, a package. Hand luggage must weigh up to 10 kg and be no more than 115 cm in the sum of three dimensions (55x40x20 cm).

Federal Aviation Regulations have approved a list of items permitted for transportation in the cabin of an aircraft. It is better not to put these items in the luggage compartment.

If you plan to transport liquids in your hand luggage, then remember that the permitted container volume is up to 100 ml, the maximum volume of liquids in different packages is no more than 1 liter per passenger. Liquids include drinks, perfumes, liquid cosmetics and toothpaste.

Checked baggage requirements

In the luggage compartment of an S7 Airlines aircraft, you are allowed to carry free one piece of baggage weighing no more than 23 kg and measuring no more than 203 cm in the sum of three dimensions (length + width + height). Only in the baggage-free airfare, basic economy is not included in the price of baggage.

The airline recommends that passengers do not carry documents, valuables, money, or computers in their luggage. S7 Airlines prohibits combining two luggage in different packages into one: it is not allowed to wrap two suitcases with film and check them in as one piece of luggage.

Transporting animals on an airplane

S7 Airlines carries pets: dogs, cats, birds in hand luggage or in the luggage compartment. Transportation of other types of animals must be registered as cargo. You must pay for the flight of the animal; the cost depends on the weight and size of the animal, as well as the flight. You can arrange transportation of an animal by plane only through the airline's sales offices; this service is not available on the official website.

The animal will need a veterinary certificate, veterinary passport, container or cage. No later than 48 hours before departure, you must call the airline and make a request to transport your pet. It is better to notify the airline about the flight of an animal when booking air tickets.

An animal is allowed to be taken into the cabin if its weight together with the container does not exceed 10 kg, and the container itself (or carrying bag) is no more than 115 cm in three dimensions; it is important that the height is no more than 20 cm. You must visit the service at the airport veterinary control and check the documents for transporting the animal, so it is better to arrive in advance.

Transportation of skis and snowboards

During the winter season, S7 Airlines transports ski equipment or snowboards in covers in the luggage compartment free of charge. The weight of the equipment should not exceed 23 kg, and the dimensions should not exceed 203 cm. Since this offer is seasonal, we recommend that you check with the airline about the conditions for transporting skis or snowboards when booking air tickets.

Damage to luggage

If at the airport, when receiving your luggage, you see that it is damaged or some items are missing, do not leave the baggage claim area. Contact the airport staff and, with their help, draw up a report of damage to your luggage (commercial report, PIR). Next, you need to contact the airline and provide documents: a signed damage report, boarding pass and luggage tag.

Lost luggage

If you do not find your luggage on the transport belt, contact the airport staff, they will draw up the relevant documents and the airline will deliver your luggage to you later. In addition, S7 Airlines recommends that passengers register in the World Tracer international system and monitor their luggage.

Avianiti searches for cheap air tickets by comparing their prices with offers from other airlines and ticket agencies. You can select a fare with baggage included when booking your flight tickets.

The note is written on the basis of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) and will help to better understand the rules of Russian airlines and the rights of passengers. New FAPs were updated last year and determine the minimum weight of hand luggage and baggage, their dimensions, as well as what items of baggage can be carried free of charge on board Russian airlines.

Carrying things on an airplane is a process that is regulated by various rules. Moreover, each airline has its own rules. Therefore, passengers find out all the details in advance, for example, how hand luggage is transported on the S7 plane. Dimensions and weight must fit into established standards, otherwise excess items will have to be packed in luggage.

Hand luggage is considered to be the items that a tourist takes with him into the cabin of an aircraft. Usually these are things that he will need during the flight; especially important, fragile items are also taken into the cabin for safety.

Requirements for hand luggage on the s7 plane

Of course, the S7 company has certain restrictions on the weight and measurements of hand luggage. Compliance with the rules for carrying hand luggage ensures the comfort and safety of passengers.

Economy class tourists can carry one bag weighing no more than ten kg in the cabin. The dimensions of hand luggage on an S7 aircraft must not exceed 55 cm in length, 40 cm in height and 20 cm in width.

Allowed S7 hand luggage for business class passengers is two bags weighing no more than 15 kg in total. In terms of dimensions, the parameters are the same as in the economy tariff - no more than 55x40x20 is allowed.

There are places for checking hand luggage in the tourist registration area. Bags must be framed according to regulations for sizing and weighing. It is recommended to find out the weight and dimensions in advance to avoid troubles before the flight.

Prohibited and permitted items for carriage in hand luggage in S7

In accordance with the established requirements for hand luggage, you can additionally (in addition to the main bag) take the following things with you:

• Mobile, camera, laptop, tablet, video camera;
• Outerwear, a suit in a special travel bag - a briefcase;
• Handbag, briefcase;
• A folder for securities, as well as a cane, an umbrella, a bouquet of flowers;
• Tourists flying with children can take baby food and a baby stroller for minors under 11 years old into the cabin, and when flying with children under 2 years old, they can carry a cradle or car seat in the cabin. Naturally, all these things are allowed to be taken only when flying with a child;
• People with limited mobility may bring crutches or a collapsible wheelchair into the cabin, as long as they can be comfortably placed on the shelf above or under the seat of the passenger in front.

All listed items, except for baby strollers and wheelchairs, are not subject to weighing when checking in hand luggage and baggage. Thus, a citizen has the right to take into the cabin hand luggage that meets the established dimensions and does not exceed the weight, as well as several or all of the specified items on the list.

Cost of hand luggage in S7

Carriage of luggage in S7 is free for any category of citizens if the items fit the established standards in size and dimensions. However, there is no such thing as overweight for things in the aircraft cabin. Anything that weighs more or exceeds the dimensions will have to be packed in a luggage bag, and the luggage itself can be either free or paid if it does not fit into the standards.

Many passengers are interested in whether it is possible to check out hand luggage with luggage on the official S7 website? Unfortunately, such a service is not provided, since it is impossible to determine remotely whether the transported items comply with the established standards. You can check in baggage and hand luggage only at the airport - you should go to the “baggage reception” counter or any other.

Another popular question is, do pets count as carry-on luggage? Dogs, cats and birds can be transported in the cabin of the ship with S7, but they are not considered hand luggage and are charged at the excess baggage rate.

These are the main points to remember when transporting hand luggage. If you have questions or concerns about the availability of a particular item, it is best to find out by calling the company.
