In addition, you must keep your receipt, which provides reliable evidence that the purchase was made at duty-free shops at the airport or on board the aircraft on the day of travel. The package is sealed directly at the place of purchase of the goods.

Liquids purchased from Duty Free

To view the baggage rules for s7, go to.

The size of the cargo that the passenger wishes to take on board the aircraft is referred to in the air service as hand luggage S7 Airlines. By default, carry-on baggage on an airplane is assumed to consist of a compact bag, personal handbag and similar items. To avoid disagreements, each carrier publishes a list of luggage items permitted for air transportation, indicating the dimensions. There is a basic standard, but the final standards for aircraft vary, as each airline has the discretion to determine its own carry-on baggage allowance. Dimensions and weights of S7 carry-on luggage have been developed and updated for 2020. Every traveler who has purchased a ticket for S7 must familiarize himself with the information in order to avoid problems and disappointments due to baggage not being allowed.

S7 standards for the carriage of hand luggage

In the full version, baggage allowances, as well as luggage, are declared on the official website of the airline at. Here are the most current paragraphs of free carriage on the plane:

For one air ticket, you are allowed to take one bag weighing up to 10 kg with three lengths of 0.55 x 0.4 x 0.2 in meters.

It is important to take into account here that it is impossible to divide hand luggage into 2 pieces. Even if a passenger packs 2 small pieces, one of them will have to be checked into the luggage compartment.

Limits depending on fare class

Dimensions and weight of hand luggage C7:

• Basic Economy level tickets allow carry-on luggage in the cabin according to the rule described above. This is 1 bag weighing 10 kg with dimensions of 0.55 x 0.4 x 0.2 m;
• “Flexible Economy” tariffs provide for standards similar to “Basic Economy”: 1 piece = 10 kg, 0.2 x 0.4 x 0.55 m;
• the next class is “Basic Business”. Here, 15 kg of luggage is allowed in the cabin with the dimensions specified in “Economy Basic” and “Flexible”. It is possible to divide the cargo into 2 places;
• the latest tariff is “Flexible Business”. The rules for the size of hand cargo in this class are the same as in “Basic Business” both in terms of weight, and in the division of places up to two units, and in dimensions.

The size of hand luggage on S7 airliners is designed for the convenience of all people flying on the flight. To transport luggage, there are shelves with compartments in the cabin for storing space. The aircraft's cells are long - each is designed to meet the needs of half a row of tourists. Therefore, if the norms of three dimensions are not met, then people will not be able to fit their luggage, or rather, there will not be enough space for someone. Consequently, the degree of nervousness on board will increase, and not a single air carrier wants to allow this.

List of things allowed for carriage in hand luggage

The bags that tourists take with them on the plane undergo mandatory inspection, so they must contain only permitted items. Otherwise, either the person will not be allowed on board, or the traveler will have to part with part of the carry-on luggage, leaving it with the accompanying person or simply throwing it away.

The following luggage is allowed on the plane:

• mobile devices - phone with laptop, tablet. Other equipment - camera and video camera;
• things - outerwear, personal handbag or briefcase, as well as an umbrella or cane;
• citizens with disabilities can be provided with crutches and a special chair for the disabled. However, you need to contact the administration and agree on the sizes of these items - they must be folded and fit either on a shelf or under a seat;
• Those traveling with children can take a folding stroller, food for a small passenger, a cradle or a car seat as a hand seat.

The last allowance for hand luggage is relevant when a child is flying with an adult and needs additional things. As with disabled people, bulky items must be folded down to a compact size and fit either under a seat or on an airplane shelf. Airport terminal employees have the right to weigh any item of hand luggage and check for correct dimensions.

What cannot be carried as baggage in the cabin

Explosive mixtures and weapons related items. Radioactive mixtures and compositions, substances with toxic and poisonous properties. Liquids considered to be oxidizing or corrosive. Carriage of liquids in luggage on an airplane is limited to a total of 1 liter per ticket. Each composition must be packaged in a separate container up to 0.1 liter, or 100 ml. The rule applies to perfumes and creams, toothpaste and similar things. Transportation of animals permitted for transportation on an S7 airliner in the cabin is possible for small pets. Animals are allowed on board if placed in special cages. Pets are not included in the concept of hand luggage and are subject to payment at excess cargo rates.

It is important to know that you must arrive at the airport with your animal no later than 3 hours before departure. Then go through the veterinary control procedure. In order for everything to work out without complications, you need to study the rules for transporting animals in advance and take care of collecting veterinary documents.

Cost of luggage carried into the cabin

When hand luggage meets airline standards in size and weight, it is transported free of charge according to transportation standards. As for overweight or oversized luggage, you can’t just pay extra and then take the seats with you into the cabin. Otherwise, there will be an imbalance of either justice or security. If we assume that someone was allowed to pay extra and take a bulky item with them, and then another passenger was given a size allowance, then the third person will not be able to exercise their right to free transportation. There will be no room left for his luggage.

If you are allowed to transport things weighing 15-20 kilograms or more, then problems may arise when lifting with your hands to a height of 2 meters. And if, due to carelessness, such a place falls from the top shelf of the plane, it can cause significant harm to the health of one of the tourists. Carriage of oversized and heavy pieces of hand luggage under the seat is prohibited by air transportation rules. Therefore, it is enough to pack the excess and put it in the luggage compartment. To be sure, upon arriving at the airport, you need to go to special equipment with restrictions and evaluate your carry-on luggage for compliance with the standards.

One review

1. Irina :
   

   Hello. I understand that you can bring 1 bag 55/40/23 and weighing 10 kg into the salon. and a lady's bag. Or how? Thank you.

Baggage and hand luggage of S7 Airlines are transported in accordance with the rules mandatory for all passengers. It is advisable to decide what you will take with you on your trip before purchasing tickets. Paying for baggage during the online booking process is significantly cheaper than paying at the airport before boarding the aircraft.

Baggage allowance on S7 aircraft

The rules and regulations for baggage transportation on international flights and within Russia are the same and are dictated by the design features of the aircraft, as well as flight safety requirements.

How many suitcases you can carry without paying depends on the fare you choose. Hand luggage is carried free of charge in all cases.

You can often hear from passengers that baggage is added up. For example, you have two suitcases with a total weight of 23 kg, which can be combined and arranged as 1 piece. In the case of S7 Airlines, this approach is not practiced.

One piece represents one suitcase or bag.

This is important to consider when planning your trip.

When it comes to luggage for two, it also cannot be combined. If you are traveling in a group, it is better to distribute all the suitcases among each other in advance so that the baggage allowance for one passenger is met. The transportation of the company/group's necessary travel items should be considered before the moment, so that during the online booking process all baggage can be effectively distributed and checked in.

The baggage allowance for a child is the same as for adults if a minor passenger occupies a separate seat. years old belongs to the “Infant” category, so it can be transported on the lap of one of the parents. In this case, both are subject to the same carry-on baggage allowance. When a separate seat is issued for a child, you can take a separate bag for him.

When done, the passenger is given a 20% discount. For this procedure, you can use the carrier’s official website or a special mobile application for devices based on Android or iOS.

You can also pay for transportation online using a bank card. If you check in at the airport, the cost will increase significantly.

Participants in the S7 Priority loyalty program can earn money that they have accumulated in the process of regularly using the services of the airline and its partners. is also possible for participants of similar programs of other members of the Oneworld alliance - Emgrand, Ruby and Sapphire. To participate in S7 Priority, you must register on the program website or purchase a special Tinkoff bank card.

Excess baggage

Carrying excess baggage that goes beyond what is permitted both in size and weight is only possible with a certain surcharge. Its size depends not only on the magnitude of the excess, but also on the direction of the route. The approximate price of one excess seat will be as follows:

• domestic flights within Russia – from 2,000 to 15,000 rubles;
• flights to CIS countries – from 3,000 to 18,000 rubles;
• flights to Europe and Southeast Asia - from 50 to 300 euros.

A more accurate amount of excess transportation can be clarified by calling the toll-free number 8-800-700-07-07.

If the dimensions of one piece of baggage exceed 203 cm in total dimensions, it is considered oversized, and if it weighs more than 32 kg, it is considered heavy. Whether to check luggage in this case or not, the airline decides individually, focusing on the characteristics of the aircraft used. At European airports, the maximum permitted baggage weight is 32 kg. In case of excess, it is necessary to order freight transportation at the appropriate rates.

Carrying hand luggage

Each passenger is allowed to take with him into the aircraft cabin free of charge only. It can be placed on a special shelf above the passenger seats.

The size and dimensions of hand luggage should not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm, including wheels and handles.

In economy class, a passenger is allowed to carry one bag weighing no more than 10 kg, and in business class - two pieces with a total weight of 15 kg. If these standards are exceeded, the suitcase must be returned for transportation in the cargo compartment of the aircraft.

At the airport, no one will measure the size of your carry-on luggage with a tape measure. There are special template frames near the flight check-in counters. If the dimensions of the bag meet the standards, you can take it with you into the cabin for free. Otherwise, you need to check in your luggage and pay for additional space.

It is no coincidence that the size of a carry-on bag has strict restrictions. S7 aircraft can simultaneously accommodate 60-180 passengers, depending on the aircraft model. There should be enough space for all things in the cabin. Bags can be placed either on the luggage rack or on the floor under the seat in front. However, passengers sitting near emergency exits are strictly prohibited from placing bags and other things on the floor.

What can you take with you as hand luggage?

You already know the parameters of hand luggage in the S7, but now let’s look at its contents. You should take into the aircraft cabin what you may need during the flight or immediately after landing:

Carrying liquids in hand luggage

Liquids in large bottles got into prohibited items that cannot be taken into the aircraft cabin. If you are transporting alcohol, shampoo and other substances in liquid form in containers larger than 100 ml, they must be checked in as baggage at the airport. It should be noted that the category of liquids also includes substances in a paste-like state and gels - toothpaste, creams, cosmetics, shaving foam, mascara, honey, soft cheeses, etc. This even includes cans, in which 2 /3 of the volume is occupied by liquid. The cost of luggage on an airplane does not change depending on the presence of liquid substances in it.

In hand luggage, passengers are allowed to carry liquid substances in containers with a volume of no more than 100 ml. The total volume of liquid should not exceed 1000 ml per person. Vials must be packaged in a separate bag and placed in a bag. In hand luggage, subject to the above-mentioned standards, you can carry:

• perfumes, deodorants, shaving foams and cosmetics;
• creams, gels and pastes;
• food for children under 2 years old;

• shower gels, shampoos and teeth rinses;
• canned food and compotes.

The limits of 100 and 1000 ml per passenger do not apply to baby food for feeding on board if a child under two years old is flying with an adult. Dry cereals, which can be diluted with boiling water on an airplane, are not considered liquids.

Restrictions do not apply to liquid products purchased in Duty Free stores. In terms of weight, they must fit into the carry-on baggage standards and be sealed in a transparent bag that cannot be unpacked until the end of the flight.

For medicines in liquid form, the requirement “100 ml - one bottle” remains. If this volume is exceeded, the need to take the medication is documented. The drug must be in its original packaging so that the safety control officer has the opportunity to examine the composition. Carrying medications containing narcotic substances must be accompanied by a prescription or a doctor’s certificate. On international flights, you must have a certified translation of these documents into the official language of the destination country.

Additional baggage allowance

Passengers with the Basic Economy fare are only allowed to carry hand luggage free of charge. If you need to take with you another bag weighing up to 23 kg, which will have to be checked in at the airport for transportation in the cargo hold, an additional payment for additional baggage is required. Other rates, as mentioned above, include the carriage of 1-2 pieces of luggage. You only need to pay extra if you exceed the permitted limit. To save money, fees should be paid in advance online.

When booking your ticket online, you can pay a 20% discount for carrying an additional bag. If you do this when checking in online at least 4 hours before departure, the discount will be only 10%.

If payment is made later, the discount does not apply.

On S7 Airlines planes you can carry free baggage in the form of one set of snowboarding or skiing equipment per passenger. It may include one pair of skis, boots, poles, snowboard, goggles and helmet. Equipment must be packed in a case and occupy only one place. The maximum weight for economy class is 23 kg, for business class – 32 kg.

Take a sociological survey!

Rules for transporting animals

On S7 Airlines planes, dogs, cats and pet birds are allowed to be carried as hand luggage or additional baggage. Other animals can only be transported in the cargo hold. In this case, it is not possible to add oversized luggage in the form of livestock.

If the animal is transported in the cabin, its weight cannot exceed 8 kg including the container. The dimensions of the cage must be within the normal limits for carry-on luggage in order to fit it under the seat.

It is prohibited to let the animal out of the container during the flight. The pet should also not cause inconvenience to other passengers (unpleasant odors, loud noise, etc.). Free transportation is not provided, so payment is made at the rates for additional excess baggage.

Only passengers at least 18 years old can transport animals by contacting the company's sales offices. The request for transportation must be made no later than 48 hours before the flight. Before flying, your pet should be placed in a hard plastic container or metal cage with access to air. The internal dimensions of the cage should allow the animal to stand up to its full height and turn around itself. The container must be equipped with a rigid closure device and absorbent material at the bottom. Bird cages must be covered with thick, light-proof fabric.

No more than two animals weighing up to 14 kg can be in one cage if they behave calmly. The container is also allowed to transport three pets of the same litter not older than six months or nursing puppies and kittens. It is recommended not to place a strong and a weak animal in the same cage.

The airline reserves the right to refuse transportation of animals in order to limit their number depending on the type of airliner, flight route and commercial load of the cargo hold. In the passenger cabin, you are allowed to transport no more than two cages with pets and birds of non-antagonistic species, so cats and dogs cannot fly on the same flight. Before the flight, the pet must undergo control at the airport veterinary service. Before taking your pet on a trip, carefully read the rules for transporting animals on S7 aircraft.

Transfer luggage

If there is no possibility of a direct flight, you have to get to your destination with a transfer. If it is necessary to change the plane abroad, the passenger is allowed to arrange transfer baggage and a ticket. In this case, at the transfer airport, the suitcases will be transported to another aircraft without additional inspection and registration. A passenger can wait in a closed transfer zone for 24-96 hours, depending on the country in which he is located.

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 172 dated March 3, 2012 “On the simplified procedure for performing customs operations,” transfer luggage is processed only if it does not contain goods subject to mandatory customs declaration when exported outside the Customs Union. A special tag is attached to suitcases and bags, indicating the absence of goods that must be declared when exported from Russia.

If there are goods that need to be declared, baggage transportation is processed only to the transfer airport. The passenger must personally receive their suitcases and rebook them for another flight.

Delays or loss of luggage can occur with any airline, regardless of its category and level of service. The most common reasons are an error by departure airport staff or the loss of a tag from a bag. The passenger, as a rule, discovers the loss only after arrival, when it is not possible to find the suitcase on the conveyor belt. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, it is important to act correctly.

Missing report

To find your luggage, you should first contact the airport employee who is responsible for searching for lost suitcases and bags of passengers. He will draw up a PIR with a description of the lost luggage (size, color, special features, brand, etc.) and begin searching for it. One copy of the document is issued to the passenger.

Tracking process

The search for luggage by airport employees is carried out using the global World Tracer system. It covers almost all passenger airports in the world. If a lost suitcase is mistakenly flown in another direction, it can be found and delivered to the point where its owner is located. In case of loss of a tag, searches are carried out according to the external description that the passenger indicated in the PIR act.

While waiting, you can periodically check the status of your searches in World Tracer by indicating the PIR act number and your last name in Latin. However, it is not possible to track luggage in this way at all airports. In this case, you should request information from airport employees responsible for the search, or contact representatives of S7 Airlines.

Damage to luggage

If the suitcase was damaged during transportation, as in the previous case, a PIR report must be drawn up indicating all defects. The carrier will not accept passenger claims if they are related to dents or scratches of suitcases, as well as loss of handles and wheels.

Claim for compensation

Compensation for lost luggage by S7 Airlines is paid only after an official investigation has been carried out in each specific case and an appropriate decision has been made.

To initiate an investigation, you must send a written complaint in free form to the company's head office. The document can be delivered in person or sent by registered mail to the address 633104 Novosibirsk Region, Ob, Mozzherina Ave., 10, PJSC Siberia Airlines.

The claim must include detailed information about the baggage. The following must be attached to the document:

• luggage tag;
• PIR act;
• flight boarding pass;
• itinerary receipt (preferably);
• other documents (receipts, checks, certificates, etc.) that serve as substantiation of the stated claims;
• Bank account details for transferring the compensation amount.

Documents must be original or certified copy. In your letter of claim, you must indicate your contact phone number and return postal address to receive an official response.

Passenger customs declaration

Passengers on international flights must fill out a customs passenger declaration if they are transporting in accompanied/unaccompanied baggage across the border of the Customs Union:

• goods with a value of more than 10,000 euros or a weight of more than 50 kg;
• $10,000 cash or traveler's checks;
• securities - bank checks, bills, shares, etc.;
• items of cultural value;
• state awards of the Russian Federation;
• animals and plants that are on the verge of extinction, as well as products obtained from them;
• medical preparations containing narcotic substances;
• radio-electronic and high-frequency devices intended for civilian use;
• technical devices with data encryption function;
• weapons and ammunition;
• goods for personal use, including those received as an inheritance.

Currently, the declaration can be filled out online on the official website of Domodedovo Customs. The document can be immediately printed and sent electronically to the customs terminal.

Some important points

When booking tickets online, the passenger can only include the cost of transporting an additional seat. Check-in of hand luggage and baggage, including additional payment for overweight, is carried out only at the airport at the “Baggage Reception” counter.

If a passenger has a child under 11 years of age, they are given the opportunity to transfer a stroller, bassinet or car seat free of charge if the dimensions of the device do not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm. When the folded stroller does not meet these dimensions, it is placed in the cargo compartment before departure . If there is no child, the stroller is transported subject to baggage allowance.

Firearms and ammunition may only be transported in special metal containers in the cargo hold of an aircraft. To do this, the passenger must submit to the airport security service documents confirming the right to store and carry firearms, as well as permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to export or import them.

conclusions

The baggage requirements for S7 Airlines as of 2019 are dictated by current international and Russian regulations, as well as the technical features of the aircraft used. You should read all the rules in advance. Otherwise, at the airport you will have to pay a significant amount for oversized or extra kilograms. In the absence of permits, the flight may be completely disrupted.

Additional baggage is those items and things that you want to take with you, but they already exceed the free baggage allowance established by the company. In this case, you need to, as they say, buy additional luggage.

How to do it? There are three options:

• buy using the "My Bookings" section of the airline's website (payment by credit card, confirmation of purchase - notification by email)
• call the contact center tel. 8 800 700 0707 and order the service of purchasing additional luggage
• book additional luggage with the help of an operator (or write in chat)
• pay at the airport, at S7 airline ticket offices

How much additional baggage can you take on board an S7 aircraft?

There is also a dependence on the tariff. If a ticket has not yet been purchased, then in accordance with different types of fares you can buy different amounts (weight) of additional baggage.

Basic economy rate: you can buy 1 or 2 more bags weighing 23 kg each

The economy fare is flexible: you can purchase another 27 kg in addition to the weight of baggage required for transportation according to the tariff (1 piece 23 kg). This way you will get one large bag weighing up to 50 kg. And also + buy 1 or 2 bags weighing up to 23 kg each. The maximum total weight of baggage at this rate, which can be carried by one passenger, is 96 kg.

How much does paid luggage cost: tariffs

The cost (price) of additional baggage depends on the flight distance and direction (within the conventional zone - across Russia, or to Europe, or to long-distance destinations - Siberia, the Far East, Central Asia, etc.).

In addition, additional baggage may be excess baggage, that is, one that does not fit into the transportation standards in terms of dimensions (dimensions) or weight. There will be an additional premium to existing prices.

How to save on buying extra luggage

It is known that such a service is paid, its cost directly depends on how early you check in and pay for additional luggage. The sooner, the better for the passenger. Additional luggage can be purchased individually: 1 or 2 bags weighing up to 23 kg per passenger.

The cheapest baggage will be purchased online more than 30 hours before the scheduled departure time. A 20% discount is also possible here: the service must be purchased at the same time as the air ticket.

If you check in additional baggage at the same time as online check-in, less than 30 hours before the start of the flight, but no later than 4 hours before it starts, the airline will provide a 10% discount on the fare.

If you buy additional luggage less than 4 hours before departure, the discounts will not apply and you will have to pay the full fare.

Baggage payment

You can pay for additional baggage/excess baggage according to the current tariffs at the time of purchasing such a service - for each individual piece (there is no excess of 1 kg or more in the company’s tariffs!).

The passenger can do this:

• when purchasing an air ticket - online, at the airport ticket office, at the company representative office
• during check-in for a flight - online (section of the website “My Bookings”, S7 Airlines mobile applications for iPhone and Android), at the ticket office, at the contact center, at the airport
• after purchasing a ticket - online, at the Contact Center, at the airport

If it turns out that you don’t need the extra baggage you purchased, or rather, the extra baggage service, but it has already been purchased, you can always refuse it and get your money back. To do this, you need to call the airline's contact center - toll-free. 8800 700–0707 - within Russia, +7 495 783-0707 - from Moscow.

S7 Airlines (in the recent past - Siberia Airlines) is one of the leading air carriers in our country. If you have purchased an air ticket for flight S7, you should familiarize yourself with the baggage allowance in advance so that there are no misunderstandings during check-in.

General information about the company

S7 Airlines is based at two airports: Tolmachevo (Novosibirsk) and Domodedovo (Moscow).

The carrier is developing, its route network is growing, and more and more branches are opening at Russian airports. The company provides air transportation throughout Russia, as well as to European countries, the Middle East and Asian regions.

S7 aircraft belong to the most famous manufacturers in the aviation industry - Airbus and Boeing.

The air carrier has a fairly flexible tariff system and is almost always ready to offer passengers special attractive ticket prices. There are always sales and promotions. There is a program for rewarding regular passengers “S7 Priority”, which involves the accumulation of flight miles. It is also possible to use flight miles to pay for air tickets and additional services.

Rates

Not long ago, S7 airline switched to a new tariff system called SmartChoic. Non-refundable and “luggage-free” tickets appeared.

Now there are 4 tariffs:

• Economy “Basic” - non-refundable, baggage and seat selection are paid services.
• Economic "Flexible" - returnable, free baggage and seat selection.
• Business “Basic” - non-refundable, free baggage and seat selection, paid invitation to the superior lounge.
• Business “Flexible” - returnable, free baggage and seat selection, free invitation to the superior lounge.

Rules for the carriage of cabin baggage

For all air passengers, depending on the class of service, cabin baggage transportation rules are established.

For air passengers flying in economy class

S7, baggage allowance is one piece weighing up to 10 kg. For air passengers traveling in business class - two pieces of luggage with a total weight of no more than 15 kg in total. For cabin luggage dimensions, the established norm is 55/40/20 cm.

It is worth noting that hand luggage and luggage are not combined, that is, it can be carried additionally to your existing luggage.

Baggage rules

Depending on the fare of the S7 air ticket, the baggage allowance varies. Economy “Basic” does not provide free luggage, while “Flexible” includes one piece of luggage weighing no more than 23 kg. For air passengers flying in business class at a “basic” fare, you can carry one piece of baggage up to 32 kg, and for a “flexible” fare - as many as two.

Baggage pieces with dimensions of no more than 2.03 m in the sum of three dimensions are allowed for transportation.

For regular customers of S7 Airlines, the baggage allowance is higher than for regular passengers. For example, holders of Silver and Gold status cards can carry one additional piece weighing no more than 23 kg for free. A Premium status card entitles you to carry additional luggage up to 32 kg.

All baggage items are registered individually for each air passenger. The airline's rules allow the free allowance to be combined for several passengers at the same time in a situation where they fly to the same destination together. However, it is necessary to document this fact, that is, provide air tickets and passports.

Excess baggage charges

If a passenger's baggage exceeds the established free allowances in terms of weight and quantity, an additional payment must be made.

S7 Airlines has set the following rates for excess baggage:

• An additional second piece of luggage with a mass not exceeding 23 kg and less than 2.03 m in three dimensions costs 50 euros.
• Additional third and subsequent pieces of luggage not exceeding 23 kg and 2.03 in three dimensions - 150 euros.
• Excess weight of luggage in the range of 23-32 kg with total dimensions of no more than 2.03 m - 50 euros.
• Excess weight of luggage from 32 kg, while the sum of the dimensions is less than 2.03 m - 100 euros.
• Exceeding the established dimensions of luggage (more than 2.03 m) - 150 euros.

If the weight of a piece of baggage is in the range of 32-50 kg, its transportation must be coordinated with the airline in a timely manner. Whether such heavy luggage will be accepted for transportation or not is directly related to the type of airliner declared for the flight and the dimensions of the luggage compartment. Before your planned trip, you need to send a corresponding request to the airline through the “Feedback” section on the website or call the call center.

Each air carrier, including S7, has its own baggage allowance and fees for excess baggage. Finding out these rules should be done in a timely manner, several days before the planned trip, and even better, when purchasing an air ticket, in order to avoid unpleasant situations when checking in at the departure airport and unplanned expenses. You can find detailed information on the company's website.
