New standards of transport. New rules for carrying out hand baggage in the aircraft: what can be taken, and what is impossible. What to do if there are prohibited things in the baggage or putting

At the end of last year, President Putin signed a law amendments to "General Rules of Air Transportation of Passengers, Luggage, Cargo and Requirements for Passenger Services, Passover, Frameders." In accordance with this legislation, Russian air carriers have introduced unified luggage provisions on the aircraft for the only exception - Aeroflot subsidiary. Rules for the transportation of baggage and hand-made bags in the 2018 plane: we study the changes made to the law.

Luggage provisions on the aircraft in 2018

In accordance with the law adopted in November, the new standards of baggage is allowed for 1 place a bag or a suitcase weighing up to 30 kg. It is possible less, but more - it is impossible. Each passenger must issue individual luggage.

The permissible weight of things will depend on your ticket category: economy, business or 1st class. The higher the class, the greater the amount of opportunities will be by luggage.

On the child under the age of 2 years there is a possibility of designing a separate baggage. The weight of the bag should be no more than 10 kg.

There is no generally accepted world standard for all air carriers. Take into account the rules of that state where you are heading. Let's say, with the flight to Dubai, it is prohibited for transportation of objects, as well as literary publications of religious orientation except Islam. It is also worth take into account the limitations of each carrier separately.

Excessive baggage

Excessive luggage is the one that weighs more than is permissible in the category of your ticket.

For example, if you bought an economy class ticket, then you can carry the luggage weighing up to 23 kg. If the allowable luggage weight is exceeded, you will be required to pay extra, but a number of airlines allow minor weight excess without additional lats.

If you immediately know that your luggage will be supernormative, then specify the carrier, how much will have to pay extra.

Luggage more than 30 kg - Heavy luggage

According to the new rules of luggage provisions on an airplane Weight over 30 kg is equal to the heavy category. Prior to that, the maximum weight was up to 32 kg.

For similar cargoes, it will be necessary to pay extra for each extra kilogram. Uniform tariffs are absent, each individual carrier determines the cost of dosphal on their own.

In addition to excess weight, there may also be an excess of dimensions over the amount of 3 measurements in the following things:

· Mountain skiing, other major sports equipment;

· Musical instruments - guitar, double bass, etc.;

· Household appliances - refrigerator.

For a transfer of such goods, you must negotiate in advance with the carrier. Before the flight to communicate with the service. On the day of departure, arrive at the airport in advance, because more time is needed to register a special cargo.

A number of airlines make it possible to carry the skiing equipment in winter or diving boards in the summer.

The carrier has the full right to refuse to transport an oversized cargo if the freight compartments are small or there is little space left.

Suggable ticket

Some carriers offer slightly passage. In accordance with it, the passenger can fly only with manual loop. Such a service has its advantages and cons. The advantage is the low price of the flight. Minus - non-return of tickets.

Joint baggage

For family pairs, colleagues and friends, there is a baggage association service. In this case, it is possible to fold all things in 1 suitcase, and it will be listed as 1 luggage place.

By weight, the requirements are the same - no more than 30 kg. It is forbidden to combine baggage if it exceeds the weight rate.

Fragile baggage

Transferred to the glass dishes, electronics and decor many passengers worry about the safety of things, as often at airports with suitcases carelessly, throwing them into a shared bunch.

In such situations, you have the opportunity to design your baggage marked "fragile." What is required to report on the registration of things, and then your suitcase will not be launched on a common tape - it will be carried out into the luggage compartment.

Registration of fragile baggage does not ensure the safety of your items.

Fragile things that match the hand-made parameters, it is recommended to take with them to the salon. The only condition - things should not contain fluid. From cans with jams and pickles it will be necessary to refuse and pass them into the luggage compartment.

Manual lay: standards 2018

What weight of baggage is allowed by air carriers? Changes to the law on flights in November 2017 limit the minimum hand-made weight. Prior to that, it was allowed to carry no less than 10 kg for non-returnable / return tickets, now - from 5 kg.

Most of the airlines were allowed to carry a suitcase in a plane weighing 10 kg. For the provision in the luggage compartment it was necessary to pay separately.

The new law assumes that the carrier is obliged to take on board from 5 kg, but it is possible to increase weight. Let's say such companies as "S7", "Utair" and "Aeroflot" told that they intend to leave 10 kg as a norm.

On the Aeroflot website, such rules are valid:

For hand-made bala restrictions on parameters - height up to 55 cm, width up to 40 cm, thickness up to 20 cm. In accordance with the new Rules of Aeroflot from February 2018, the limiters will be standing for landing, which make it possible for Checking whether the requirements are responsible.

In addition, certain changes have been made to the list of free items for carry on board over hand-made bags.

What things are allowed to take into the salon, without issuing as hand-made

According to the old rules, it was allowed to take to the salon without weighing, marking tags and design such things:

· costume;

· notebook;

· video camera;

· Camera;

· mobile phone;

· Baby food for flight time in unlimited flight;

· Carrying for a child (folding cradle / folding stroller);

· Books, magazines, newspapers;

· Upper clothes;

· ladies handbag;

· Briefcase;

· Folder with papers / documents;

· Cane;

· Crutches;

· bouquet of flowers.

Now from here excluded the umbrella, laptop and telephone. Ministry of Transport clarified these changes as an opportunity to put these items in the bag.

In addition, a backpack added to the list of allowed for free. In the airline "Victory" confirmed the information about what is allowed to carry backpacks if their size will fit into the norms operating in this company.

For the "victory" of manual layer restrictions are the following - 36 × 30 × 27, and the minimum ticket price begins from 500 rubles.

Things that are allowed in hand baggles and with you

Some items you can, at will, keep with you either in hand baggage:

· Cylinders with carbon dioxide (used to activate artificial limbs);

· Tools for repair points, including a screwdriver less than 50 mm long;

· Lighter / safe matches (exclusively with you);

· Cardiosimulator;

· Other pharmaceutical devices, including radioactive isotopes, with lithium batteries. Can be kept exclusively with you;

· Robot toy;

· Razors, including disposable;

· Pedgles for curling eyelashes;

· Nitroglycerin tablets / spray for treatment;

· Oxygen cylinders for medical purposes;

· Injection needles by suffering diabetes / Special medicines.

Actions with loss

No one is insured against the loss of things when flying. Things disappear when loading / shipping into the luggage compartment, they randomly send them from the flight.

When you lose things, follow this instruction:

· Ensure in the hands of the receipt for luggage;

· Contact your sheet to the search department of missing things;

· Make a statement.

Within 3 weeks, the carrier is obliged to find things and inspire you. The parcel goes to the house for free, you do not have to go somewhere and pay something.

When returning damaged baggage or its absence after 3 weeks you can refer to the carrier to compensate for damages.

If the carrier refused to compensate for the damage caused, then you have the right to demand a motivated written refusal and to apply to it.

In the Montreal Convention, an international agreement is enshrined, which provides the maximum possible compensation for the loss of the bag - 1131 SDR (artificial reserve and payment facility emitted by the International Monetary Fund). This is equivalent to about $ 1,500.

On the fact, the final amount of compensation will depend on a particular company. Foreign carriers on average compensate $ 20 / kg. The largest foreign companies can pay a large amount in accordance with their internal rules. Russian carriers pay approximately $ 600.

If you have lost baggage international flight, then you need to seek the search no later than the week after the date of receipt of things.

On domestic flights, you can make a complaint within 6 months from the day of the loss.

To obtain ordinary compensation, you need a description of the lost baggage. If there are checks on lost things, then you can attach them to your application. In this case, you can apply for a complete or partial damage compensation.

Manual laying in the plane is a real headache for most tourists returning from vacation. For many passengers, the concept of "hand-made" causes many questions. Unfortunately, not all passengers know what the difference between the hand-made baggage and even more so from the accessory to the hand-made bag (the accessory to the hand-made bag is a very new concept for modern civil aviation).

This post will be a continuation of the useful articles about the tricks of independent travel. Earlier, I wrote in detail about how to seek cheap flights, about what tourist insurance and how tourist insurance differs from insurance for traveling abroad, let's talk in detail about manual sting in detail and how to fly on airplanes not to overpay for the advantage.

What is hand-made

That's what Wikipedia talks about the concept of manual sting:

Manual sting is the cargo that the passenger takes on board a passenger vehicle (in our case it is an aircraft, but the vehicle can be any), without passing into the luggage compartment.

As you can see, manual sting is everything that takes the passenger on board the aircraft. So many people think, but if you look more closely to the rules for the carriage of goods on passenger aircraft, it turns out that everything that is on you, including the upper clothes and the contents of the pockets, is no longer a manual loop, but is called personal use and actually nothing is taken into account. And such interesting moments in the rules of carriage a lot, read more about it.

Rules for hand luggage

Basic rules for carrying out hand-made bags on the aircraft are the same for most airlines, the exception is Looc Sources. For budget carriers, any advantage is a means of additional earnings, so it should be aware of this and take into account the special rules of loupes.

It should be understood that any restriction on the procurement in the cabin of the aircraft is primarily the concern for the passenger and the safety of air transportation, and then the opportunity to take an excess day from the passenger for the advantage. Now I will explain what I mean.

Here are the basic rules for carrying out hand-made bags in the aircraft:

• all manual laying should be no more than 115 cm (in the sum of three dimensions, 55? 40? 20) - everything is clear here, this is in order to put things on the shelves;
• the weight of the hand-made must be within 8 - 12 kilograms (depending on the airline) - this is for each passenger to independently put its things in the boxes over the seats;
• bans on liquids and other prohibitions are unfortunately, after the American tragedy "September 11," civil aviation became another, the rules did not become more stringent, they became completely different. Those who flew earlier, he knows how soon it was easier to pass a pre-flight inspection.

Hand baling size

In this part of the post, let's talk about how much hand baggage can be born, what to do with goods from Duty Free and about the rest of interest that will help you save and not pay for the advantage.

Hand baling weight in the plane

The weight of the baggage that you want to take into the plane is strictly regulated and with this there can be no problem or vice versa in this and there is a basic problem (after all, sometimes you require payment of the advantage). In different airlines, weight can vary from 5 kilograms, up to 12 kilograms. Loocosostrov can have their own "zakidones" about the weight of hand-made bag.

If you fulfill this post to the end, you will find several legitimate ways to reduce the weight of hand baggles and at the same time to carry everything that they wanted.

Hand baggage dimensions in the plane

As I have already mentioned earlier, most airlines, the allowed hand-made size of the hand-made bag, because most airlines have the same aircraft models and identical luggage shelves.

The permissible hand-made size, in most cases, is: 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm or 115 cm. (In the sum of 3 measurements). It should be noted that the skiing of a long 115 centimeters will most likely carry it on board, they will not be made to pass into the luggage, because in the salon they simply have nowhere to attach, well, they are not in the aisle they are visible.

With the definition of hand-baled dimensions, the passengers always have difficulties, for the advance solution of which many airlines are installed at airports, special templates that mimic the permitted dimensions and each wisp can check their belongings on these templates.

Beginner travelers have always a question in which it is better to pack things that fly in the cabin. I tried many options from a reliable suitcase to a comfortable backpack and can give several tips.

• a suitcase for hand-made bags is very convenient if you transport really valuable and fragile things (invaluable Chinese vase of the Qing dynasty, fragile figurines from Murana glass, etc.). In this case, the "armor" of the walls of the suitcase is justified, in all other cases, the suitcase is too uncomfortable for hand-made bag;
• the handbag for hand-made bag is a great solution, it can be tamped and so it will pass any "dimensional" control, but to wear such a bag at the airport is very not comfortable. If the bag has wheels, then this option is quite suitable;
• hand-made backpack is the most convenient thing that can be for the transport of things in an airplane, it perfectly passes all controls "in size" (checked on a 45 liter backpack), it is easy to wear and hands are always free. I recommend this option to everyone.

Duty Free in hand baggage

Buying goods in duty free shops (Duty Free) on the territory of the airport (in the so-called "sterile zone") should be considered the weight of purchases. No restrictions on the sale of goods themselves are not introduced (buy at least half the store).

Theoretically, the goods from the Duty Free are personal things and are not taken into account as hand-made, but when landing in the cabin can be difficult (if you have too much shopping from Duty Free), so it should be rational in everything. It should also be remembered that you are required to transport goods from Duty Free in a special container (in which the goods are packaged in the store) and not to break the packaging throughout the flight. It is advisable to keep a cash receipt for your purchase during the entire flight, it can be useful.

If there were no problems with the plane planting and your purchases from Duty Free fly with you, you may be waiting for restrictions on customs in the arrival. Each country has clear rules on the possibility of duty-free import of goods, and some (mostly Muslim countries) and are preventing the import of the most running goods from the Duty Free (alcohol). As a rule, Customs "gives good" to import 1 liter of strong alcohol and 1 block of cigarettes, it is necessary to pay a duty for a larger amount. Each country has its own rules, so this should be clarified before your journey.

If you are flying with a transfer, then you should remember that the safety control procedure will have to go through again and here your package from Duty Free may be regarded as manual sting, and not as personal things. In these cases, check the first airport check from the Duty Free store (where you made a purchase) and naturally the goods from the Duty Free must be appropriately packed.

Accessory to hand baggage

Now the most interesting. Not long ago, part of airlines introduced a new concept for passenger aviation - "accessory to hand-made", for most passengers this is a real salvation from the advantage and that's why. Some things come out from under the concept of manual sting and fall into the accessories to the hand-made bag, then I will give an exemplary list (each airline, it may differ, and there is no loupes and there is no time). Now the passenger has a manual sting with the regulated weight and size and the ability to carry part of things that were previously considered hand-made and occupied a major place there.

Here is what you can take on the plane as an accessory to hand-made at Aeroflot:

• lady handbag / men's portfolio;
• folder for papers;
• umbrella;
• cane;
• bouquet of flowers;
• upper clothes;
• laptop computer, camera, camcorder;
• printed publications for reading in flight;
• baby food for a child during flight;
• children's cradle in the transport of the child;
• costume in Portpele;
• cellular phone;
• crutches;
• shopping bag from the "Duty Free" store.

And again there are several incomprehensible situations, there are instructions about the laptop, but there is no indication about the charger, there are instructions about the camera, but the tripod will be forced to pass into baggage, etc.

Manual laying for children

For passengers with young children, the prostitutes of things for all kindergarten becomes a big problem. Fortunately, most airlines provide the ability to use an additional place of hand-made standard size. This rule applies to passengers with children under 2 years old, if the child has a full-fledged ticket and a place in the aircraft cabin, then it has a full place for hand-made.

How and where to place manual sting on board the aircraft

To place a hand-made bag, there are luggage shelves over the chairs of passengers, it is their volume and dictates the stringent requirements (by weight and size) to the hand-made passengers. If there is a need, the manual sting can be placed under the chair in front of the seated passenger (not all places in the plane have such an opportunity).

Many airlines are clearly fixed in their rules that during the airfare accessory it is necessary to place under the seat of the chair (located in front of you), and all manual stall should be put on the shelf (above its chair). Place any things in the aircraft passages or in space near the emergency exit - is prohibited.

How many hand baggles can be bought

How many hand clasions can be born to the aircraft depends more from the company of the carrier and from class of service.

For most airlines, there is the same standard for the number of places of hand baggage:

• economy class is one place of hand clashes;
• business class - two places of hand clashes;
• first class - two places of hand putting.

The mansion is loupes, they may require additional fees for things in the aircraft cabin. Some American and Canadian carriers provide as many as 2 places for hand-bag when flying in the usual economy class.

Hand baggage liquids

Restrictions on liquids in hand baggage seem to me the most nonsense restrictions for passengers of aircraft. Judge yourself, because all these limitations per 1 liter of 100 ml. For real "bad guys", it is very simple, several people with bad intentions and that's it.

But for law-abiding passengers, these perversions on liquids in hand baggage deliver huge inconveniences and an additional challenge. On September 11, 2001, the fault of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, which completely changed the attitude towards aviation security and now every passenger (including infants with their jars with children's nutrition) is considered as a potential terrorist.

The rules for transporting fluids in hand-bag are as follows: The passenger has the right to carry one liter of liquids (total) in hand-made, fluids must be placed in a container volume not exceeding 100 milliliters. All the fluid-proof in the plane must be packed in a sealed transparent package (with a multi-sized fastener), the size of the package for liquids should not exceed 20x20 centimeters.

And as always, there are many ambiguities that confuse passengers and cause problems. For example, you will not be allowed to take on board a half-empty tube of toothpaste, if its volume is more than 100 ml, on all your objections "there is only half", the reaction is only one "not supposed". Toothpaste is not so sorry, and if it is a dear cream in a tube of 125 ml? All that is more than 100 ml. will be seized and recycled.

There are a number of goods that do not look like liquid (for example, no reasonable person can call liquid cheese), but when transporting aircraft is considered liquids:

• perfumery;
• shampoos;
• gels;
• lotions;
• sprays;
• oils;
• paints;
• creams;
• deodorants;
• shaving foam;
• mascara;
• lipstick;
• toothpaste;
• beverages;
• syrups;
• soups;
• cheeses;
• canned;
• caviar;
• jam;
• homemade billets.

Thus, it turns out that it is possible to carry caviar and cheese in hand baggage, but not more than 1 lirt (total), which is divided into 100 ml. Capacity. Present a solid cheese spilled in a small bottle normal person is not able to and from this at airports often arise for misunderstanding between passengers and workers.

About the cheese in bottles is a joke, but it is desirable that all fluids be in the marked container, so you will relieve yourself from extra questions. It should be remembered that any jar or tube of airport workers have the right to open and make sure the content here, it does not matter what inside the expensive cream or baby food.

What can be pronounced in hand baggage

What can be taken in the manual laying into the plane? It is worth answering yourself the next question, about the need for things that you drag into the cabin. It is clear when you take with you documents and really valuable things, but when people carry things to the cabin that could calmly survive the flight in the luggage compartment, the question arises "why?". I think that in the manual sting it is worth it to take the most necessary and valuable, and everything else is either to pass into the luggage, or at all do not take on a journey.

Beverages

Any drinks in glass, plastic or cardboard packs of up to 100 ml. You can carry in hand baggings, requirements for packing drinks from Duty Free stores are softer and not limited to a volume of 100 ml.

In hand baggage, you can carry any drinks and alcohol, however, the fortress of alcoholic beverages should be no more than 70%, all that is considered to be a combustible substance and is not allowed to transport in the cabin.

Food and food

There is no special requirements and restrictions to eat (you should clarify your airline) if you are driving food within reasonable limits (sandwich on the road or several apples). It should be remembered that there are strict regulations on the territory of some states, which prohibits imported meat, dairy and other products. It should also be considered that some products (for example, cheese, yogurt or caviar) are considered liquids, and the packaging volume should not exceed 100 ml.

Here is a list of these products - liquids:

• caviar;
• yogurts (usual or drinking);
• soups;
• honey, jam;
• canned food (meat, fish, homemade blanks);
• products with lots of sauce or podliva.

Some airlines allow you to take the following solid and dry products in the aircraft salon:

• sandwiches;
• sausages, cutlets, sausages;
• cookies, chips, loaf, waffles;
• vegetables and fruits;
• candy, cakes and pastries.

Electronics and Modern Gadgets

When passing customs control at the airport, you will be asked to get a laptop from hand-bag and put in the basket for subsequent scanning. Laptop, phone, smartphone, etc. They may not be taken into account in the weight of hand baggles and considered personal belongings, but here you should carefully explore the rules of the airline.

On some flights, the USA is prohibited in hand-made bags of any electronic devices, the size of which is greater than the smartphone.

The following electronic devices can be transported in the cabin:

• mobile phone (with the exception of exploding smartphones Samsung Galaxy Nat 7);
• laptop, tablet, e-book;
• camera, camcorder;
• MP3, DVD player.

Medicine

Medicines and medicines necessary on the road can be taken to manual sting, but note that you may be asked to prove the need for certain drugs (you should have an indication of a doctor on the need to receive drugs).

Facilities for care

The following personal devices can be transported in hand-made.

• safe razor and replaceable blades for it, as well as an electric razor;
• hairdryer and other hair styling devices;
• toothbrush (including electric).

Cosmetics and hygiene products

In manual, you can take cosmetic and hygienic agents in any (glass, plastic, paper, wooden, etc.) packages with a volume of up to 100 ml.

• cream, gel;
• lotion or oil for tanning;
• toothpaste;
• deodorant (solid, spray, ball);
• varnish and foam for hair styling;
• liquid for contact lenses;
• shampoo, mask, hair balsam, etc.

Other things in hand baggage

• literature and magazines;
• the picture (its size should not exceed the permissible for hand baggage);
• dishes, glasses, sets, etc.;
• musical instrument;
• wedding dress and other clothes (it is necessary to join in a special case - portland, it is counted as one
• place of hand clashes).

It is important to know some features that may surprise you right at the airport (read the passenger history in the comments to this post). So for example, the usual skateboard can be regarded as a weapon and will be asked to pass into baggage. I was wondering and I clarified from the airport representatives, it or not, that's what they answered me. A full answer to my letter can be viewed in the photo.

In accordance with the requirements of aviation security, according to P.72 of the Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation of July 25, 2007 No. 104: "Items and substances that can be used as an instrument tool, but not prohibited by transportation on board Sun, are packaged and transported in quality of registered baggage.

All restrictions on the prosecution of things in hand-bag can be divided into several groups.

• it is prohibited for safety - weapons and toys imitating (firearms, cruel-cutting, etc.), exploding smartphones Samsung Galaxy Nat 7, I think everything is clear;
• it is prohibited for the convenience of passengers - everyone wants to drag their oversized cargo on board, but no one wants to sit next to his friend who dragged oversized cargo to the salon;
• it is prohibited for commercial purposes - to use the aircraft salon as "Gazelles for Transportation" can be, but expensive. There is a desire to bring 50 kilograms of Mango from Thailand - pay for advantage and Vesy.

Now let's talk about this in more detail, the recent events with exploding smartphones Samsung Galaxy Nat 7 surprised and frightened many. And as a result - a complete ban on the use of this model of the smartphone on board the aircraft.

Quick-cutting items, explosive loads and weapons

• it is forbidden to take firearms and any stitching and cutting items (knife, corkscrew, razor blades, sharp manicures, etc.);
• working instruments (screwdrivers, nails, file, drill, etc.);
• sports equipment (skateboard, rollers, scooters, baseball bits, etc.).

Electronics and modern gadgets forbidden in hand baggage

After the scandal with the exploding smartphone Samsung Galaxy Nat 7 Many countries were forbidden to carry smartphones Samsung Galaxy Nat 7 on board the aircraft, and Rosaviatsiya went even further and banned this smartphone model even to the airport.

Many airlines have banned the provisions in hand baggage and in the cargo compartment of small-sized means for personal movement on lithium batteries (monocoles, mini-segways, hoverboard, gyroscurists, etc.).

March 21, 2017, US authorities were forbidden to carry electronic devices in hand baggings, the ban is imposed on flights from the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. Passengers from these countries (Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates) directly to the United States of America without transfers, is forbidden to carry in hand-made laptops, tablets, cameras and other electronics. UK joined this ban.

Food and food

If you managed to hit the aircraft to the aircraft and other foods (some airlines do not fit to this), then it is preferably to destroy it and destroy it (eat), since many countries prohibit it to import any agricultural products, meat, milk to their territory and etc. Without proper certificates.

TRANSPORTATION OF HRAND BLASS IN THE ACLINAL, Tricks and Lifehaki

The main lifehak "How not to overpay for the baggage's advantage" is to leave at home all unnecessary, but not everyone can deliver such pleasure to travel with a half-empty backpack, so I will tell you how I cope with overweight in my hand-made bag.

Usually, I travel with two backpacks, one large (approximately 45 liters), another small (30 liters). At the beginning of your trip, all things (including a 30 liter backpack) are placed in 45 liter and fly as manual sting in the cabin. During a long journey, the backpacks are filled with all sorts of necessary (and not very) things and on the way back to each other do not fit into each other, it is here that it is necessary to think how to optimize the weight and size of baggage.

Here is an approximate list of actions to reduce your luggage weight after a long trip:

Use your body to the maximum - It sounds strange, but if you understand that the advantage is inevitable, then you can part of the affairs in the cabin on yourself in the literal sense of the word. For example, you can wear warm things from baggage (it may be hot and you will look like a stupid), you can put small, but heavy souvenirs, etc. in pockets, etc.

If you go even further, you can buy fashionable and very practical clothes of the famous Scottevest brand. Their branded jackets are specifically designed for travelers, top models have more than 40 pockets of all shapes and sizes for different gadgets and devices. With this functionality, all clothing brand Scottevest looks fashionable and modern. Any them is a thing, whether it is a cap or panties, will be mandatory equipped with pockets for storage.

Get rid of all too much - There are things that there is no point in leading back and you can get rid of them in many different ways, they can simply be thrown into the trash, to give aborigine or solder. In my Indian journey, a gift in the form of a conventional ballpoint handle at the local deformation caused exceptionally positive emotions.

Find a companion "If you found a fellow traveler who has not so much baggage like yours, then you can always ask about the service." But here you should be very attentive and trusting a person (and he also needs to trust you), because where is the guarantee that it may be in the things you have given you and where the guarantee that the new acquaintance will return to you baggage.

Send part of baggage by mail - There are mail in any country and this fact should not be ignored. The cost of sending to Russia will cost any money, but it is much cheaper than the tariffs for baggage.

Changes in the Air Code of Russia are reduced to providing airlines to take money for any passenger movement

Luggage luggage in airplanes, even recently simple and clear, suddenly began to call many questions. The most extraordinary activity of the Ministry of Transport and Aeroflot, push the strange laws allegedly, allegedly facilitating the life for business.

But making it unbearable for ordinary people.

Spies and saboteurs are perhaps the only one who flies without any luggage and buys everything you need upon arrival. From panties to toothpicks. However, an respectable person even for a week, at least 2-3 kilograms of personal belongings and 2-4 kilograms of technology (laptops are now, of course, light, but not weightless - not to mention the cameras).

How do the laws change?

Up until 2013, the rules of baggage provisions for air travel were well-known and mandatory for everyone, regardless of the company and flights: up to 10 kg of baggage for free, hand-made to the salon - no more specific dimensions, but the eyes were closed on a slightly excess. Each person, gathering at the airport, knew exactly whether his baggage corresponds to standards. With the wide distribution of the Internet, all airlines also introduced the possibility of free registration with a selection of 24 hours before departure.

But here, on the wreckage of the lourorster who collapsed under the sanctions, the new, National Loupester - "Victory" appeared in Russia. And his managers very carefully read the aircraft and found that nothing was said about manual and free online registration. As a result, the "victory" allowed only those things in the cabin that were clearly spelled out in law as compulsory and free (costumes in portland, umbrellas, cameras, laptops, ladies' handbags ...). For the rest, including shopping from the airport stores (the so-called Duty Free), which are fundamentally some of the children, except in the salon, there was a tangible amount, sometimes exceeding the cost of the ticket.

The degree of hatred for Victory rose to the limit when the company was caught in the intentional searches of families, including children, in different corners of the cabin when registering at the airport. Meanwhile, no laws of this controlled "Aeroflot" did not violate: she simply used gaps in legislation.

And finally, we have the reaction of parliament. It seemed natural to eliminate the gaps and return everything to the circles. However, the Ministry of Transport and Parliament arrived exactly the opposite.

Non-refundable and hardship

According to the law adopted at the end of July 2017, the law is canceled by the carrier's duty to provide a passenger who bought a non-return ticket, the right to free 3 kg of baggage. This preference is considered non-market: now the airline will be able to fight passengers, providing them with the "most favorable" prices for the transportation of baggage. The authors of the bill (the Ministry of Transport, followed by the ears of Aeroflot) assure that now the prices for flights will definitely decline. Maybe. The price of the ticket will decrease, but it will be more than compensated by the price of baggage.

This law will act 60 days after the official publication, tentatively at the end of September - early October. Time is chosen well: the tourist season will already end, therefore special complications are not foreseen. The law emphasizes that the carrier must explicitly notify the passenger on the cost of transportation of baggage at the time of buying a ticket.

For owners of return tickets, the rules remain the same. Another question is that there are two times more such tickets, and no advantages do not provide any advantages: sit, for example, you have to sit in the same tightness between "non-regulations."

The Ministry of Transit decided to immediately apply the next blow, having prepared new rules for carrying out hand-made bags. If earlier its weight was not prescribed in the law, now in the department they decided to describe the weighing procedure. Among other things, a list of items that can be transported over the new rules of hand-made weight (5 kg), without weighing. And here the scandal broke out.

Dancing around the laptop

Speaker of the top chamber of parliament Valentina Matvienko, Without the shadow of doubt, subscribing any laws (including supporting the abolition of free luggage transport), suddenly decided to defend the people and spoke about the provocative nature of the document:

"As for hand clashes, there you wrote some nonsense that you can not carry flowers, phone numbers, outerwear. Who is the author of this document? This is collective irresponsibility! The ministry should take into account the comments of senators and not allow to continue such misses. If we are not satisfied, we will do everything to be appropriate conclusions. Up to the fact that the head of the Ministry of Transport to punish administratively! "

Meanwhile, of course, there are no prohibitions on flowers and phones in the document. They are simply not included in the list of items that can be proclaiming "extended by airlines of a hand-made bag installed by airlines" (previously there was no such thing at all). Crutches - you can, costume - it is possible, the lady's handbag of any weight is possible. The rest will need to be weighed and laid in 5 kg (or another norm of a particular airline, but not less than 5 kg). Although, of course, in a pocket behind the phone, no one clings to you. The weird legislators are sometimes compensated by common sense of business.

However, let's say the fur coat or a large laptop with a high probability will have to be in baggage. Given the exquisite manners of movers at airports, it is easy to assume that it will become with these items after two or three flights.

We emphasize that this scandalous initiative is not only not accepted, but did not even become a bill: it's just a "document in the first approximation," as the representative of the Ministry of Transport, the frightened attack by Valentina Matvienko whispered.

In fact, clear and uniform rules for all rules are needed, and the ministry leads the right job. Here are just 5 kg without taking into account fragile machinery - it is still mockery. There is no doubt that in the process of preparing new amendments to the Air Code, this error will be corrected.

We also emphasize that airlines they do not have to take money for luggage and manual sting: they only get such a right. However, those who save the standards of free provision will most likely be forced to keep a little higher ticket prices, so on the sites of the aggregators of their proposals paradoxically will be lower than lovers to cut money from passengers for each chih.

So we are preparing to pay from October any baggage - and carefully follow the reflections of officials over manual loop.

Changes in federal aviation rules * were initiated by the Ministry of Transport. The agency considered it necessary to change the rules in terms of regulating the air transportation of passengers carried out under the transportation agreement not providing for the standard of free baggage.
The Ministry of Transport Project Document is posted on the federal portal of draft regulatory legal acts.
* "General rules for air transportation of passengers, baggage, cargoes and requirements for the maintenance of passengers, shippers, consignees", approved by the Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation of June 28, 2007 No. 82.

What innovations are waiting for passengers?

According to the amendments to the rules, the costs associated with the transportation of baggage will be excluded from the air transportation tariff, in its absence.

If the bill is signed by the President of the Russian Federation, the airline will be able to form a wider range of tariffs for the transport of passengers through the proposal of various conditions for transportation. The signing of the bill is advantageous to low-budget airlines to the louctoros.

Airlines will decide for themselves, whether they are ready to provide passengers to the service of free baggage.

It is expected that free baggage procurement will be prohibited for those passengers who have acquired non-return tickets. Many people who travel lightly, only with manual loop, this offer will be beneficial.

Important! If free luggage is not provided, but it happened that you came to the aircraft with a luggage, you will have to pay extra. The carrier is entitled terminate the contract unilaterally and refuse to take a passenger if he refuses to pay for luggage.

For reference:

Saving airlines will be associated with partial refusal to ensure the processing, processing, loading and unloading of passenger luggage.
Currently, airports establishes a fare for serving passengers, which includes, including baggage processing.
The average passenger service rate at the airports of the Russian Federation on the inner air lines is 221 rubles. On average, up to 20% of the specified tariff is associated with baggage processing.

If, by the terms of the ticket, the passenger is put free luggage, the airline itself sets the norms, how many luggage places and what common weight passenger can be transported for free.

But at the same time, new rules limit the initiative of airlines.
If the free luggage is laid, it cannot be less than 10 kg and (or) less than two luggage places per passenger.

For example, these norms are accepted in the airline. Note that if your luggage is more than 10 kg, then the advantage will have to pay extra. If you have three suitcase, even with a common weight and less than 10 kg, then pay extra for one of three.

The airfare is the fastest, convenient and reliable way of movement and transportation, allowing only a few hours a passenger and his baggage to move from one place to another, despite the greater remoteness of these places from each other. However, the specifics of air flights makes it possible to transport people only to those airlines and airports that fully comply with the generally accepted world safety standards.

In order for the passenger to give a boarding pass, he should strictly observe the strictest rules of the flight, which also relates to the baggage of the aircraft. This is done for the sake of the common security of all passengers and aircraft.

The rules presented are mandatory to perform absolutely all passengers, regardless of the purpose, the nature of the trip or the prestigiousness of the cabin class, in which you fly.

In other words, this is a set of organizational issues aimed at ensuring the comfort and speed of the flight. And the transportation of baggage is one of the most important organizational moments to which it is necessary is particularly responsible to eliminate the emergence of possible problems.

Luggage luggage on the aircraft for 2019

As for the breakage of baggage, it is worth noting the following: the rules providing for this process do not have a single global standard, so there are their options to which a number of factors affect.

First - The country in which you fly, because every state has its own rules and standards. For example, going to Dubai, in no case cannot be carried with you (and, not only in baggage, but also with manual loop and in your pockets), the objects and literature of a religious nature that are not related to Islam.

Second - On the norms of baggage, the choice of airline is influenced. In addition, the permissible allowable weight of baggage affects the class of the acquired ticket (for example, an economy or business class) and the type of aircraft.

In order to avoid unnecessary difficulties and problems when registering baggage, all the listed moments are necessary to find out in the process of acquiring tickets. If you have a non-standard luggage, you should find out the rules of it in advance.

First of all, you need to find out what items and things, of those that you want to take with you, you can carry with an airplane, and which belong to the discharge of prohibited.

However, despite the differences in some rules for the transportation of baggage, all airlines have and general Luggage Transport Rulesused in all countries of the world.

General standards for baggage baggage on board

1 - First, you need to make sure of the health and integrity (absence of various kinds of inches and cracks) of suitcases or bags that will be recorded by you to separate places to exclude in the process of transporting damage of things in them and neighboring baggage.

For reliability, you can independently wrap the luggage into the cellophane film. The same procedure can be made directly at the airport for a minor fee. We recommend doing it! By doing this you definitely not blur and do not break the suitcase or bag.

2 - Each airline has its own rules in which the weight and size of the recorded baggage and unregistered (hand-made) are installed. If you exceed any of the parameters, you will have to pay extra.

3 - You should remember the list of things that are strictly forbidden to join the aircraft. Nor in baggage, nor in hand putting!

Total baggage weight and manual sting

Things and objects allowed for transportation directly in the passenger compartment of the aircraft, called manual backwoodwhich is often transported in small bags.

Naturally, the purpose of these restrictive measures is to ensure the proper level of safety of the aircraft and its passengers throughout the flight.

For this reason, by the majority of airlines impose a ban on transportation in hand-made bags such as:

• Knives and long scissors (and sometimes even manicure);
• Corkscrews;
• Knitting needles;
• Needles for injection, including subcutaneous, excluding prescribed cases;
• Razors, blades and other piercing tools and objects.

In addition, there are some restrictions on the provision in hand-made liquids, such as:

• Shampoo;

According to the rules to transport listed liquids and substances in a set of manual bags, only in small quantities (up to 100 ml) and exclusively in hermetic packages (more accurate data is provided with a specific airline that provides you with services). To exceptions, children's nutrition and liquid medicines have to be used in flight. Under exceptions, liquids and goods acquired in the stores of the duty-free sector stores ( "DUTY FREE").

As for the weight of baggage and hand baggage, there are also certain limits here. For manual bedding, the weight range ranges from 7 to 15 kg for 1 place. For baggage, the permissible weight average is 20-30 kg.

As can be seen from everything written, baggage - the process is quite complex, and, in order to avoid problems, it is better to take care of compliance with all measures and requirements in advance.
