Hand luggage year. New rules and regulations for carrying baggage and hand luggage on the plane. Personal hygiene items

Luggage - these are suitcases, bags, trunks, which passengers check in at check-in, they fly in the cargo hold. We take hand luggage with us into the cabin.


Hand luggage on the plane dimensions and weight. Hyou can take it with you on the plane

5 kg - the minimum weight of hand luggage that a passenger can take with him on an airplane free of charge. Until now, the weight of hand luggage has not been prescribed at all in any laws and regulations, everything has been left to the mercy of the airlines. On the other hand, not a single Russian carrier has a norm of less than 5 kg (even Pobeda, literally ten days ago, entered 5 kg into its rules). More - as much as you want. Aeroflot, for example, has 10 kg. The order does not prevent airlines from leaving more generous rates. And, of course, 5 kg must comply with aviation safety standards (that is, liquids - in containers up to 100 ml).

Mobile phones, cameras, laptops and other gadgets, as well as umbrellas and books, were excluded from the list of things that can be taken into the cabin for free ABOVE the hand luggage allowance. The argument of the Ministry of Transport: they can be put away in a handbag, briefcase or backpack. With a mobile phone - no problem, you can put it in your pocket, and it's light, it won't create an advantage. But a professional camera or a laptop, taken together, may well. You can't check in your equipment.

Hand luggage is the items that each passenger of an airliner can take into the cabin. The size and weight of the allowable luggage is determined by the carrier, and these parameters differ significantly for different companies. However, there is a list of things that cannot be taken in hand luggage on an airplane, and everyone needs to know it so that there are no problems during boarding. We bring to your attention the new rules of 2019 regulating the composition of hand luggage and luggage in Russia.

Things that can not be taken into the salon

As in the rules of previous years, passengers are strictly prohibited from carrying any weapons in the cabin of an airliner. The list includes:

  • Firearms and traumatic weapons (pistols, rifles, revolvers, machine guns, machine guns, etc.);
  • Melee weapons (daggers, knives, sabers and swords);
  • Throwing weapons (grenades, knives, bows).

Please note that it is forbidden to take even toy weapons that mimic existing models in reality.

Substances prohibited on board under the new rules

The list of substances prohibited for carriage as cabin baggage includes flammable liquids. These include compounds whose flash point does not exceed 66 degrees: diethyl ether, cyclohexane, benzene, acetone and ethanol, alcohols, various aromatic compounds, turpentine, kerosene. In plain language, varnishes and paints, printer inks, tinctures, esters, sealants, cosmetic lotions, solvents and solvents cannot be taken on board.

The second type of prohibited substances are explosives. They are divided into liquid (nitroglycerin, ethyl nitrate, nitroglycol), gel-like, suspension (ammonium nitrate mixtures), emulsion and solid (tol, hexogen and nitrate).

Radioactive substances are also not allowed in hand luggage. These are mixtures or compositions containing radioactive isotopes (germanium, vanadium, cadmium, selenium, zirconium, molybdenum, rubidium, and others). Accordingly, you will not be allowed on the plane if you take with you isotopes necessary for treatment or diagnostics, or gamma ray logging instruments.

When landing, you are also confiscated oxidizing substances, which may not be combustible, but at the same time provoke and support the combustion of other materials. The list of oxidizing substances unacceptable for carriage in hand luggage includes:

  • Hydrogen peroxide;
  • bleaches;
  • Perchloric acid solution;
  • ammonium chlorate;
  • ammonium bromate;
  • Fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate;
  • Ammonium nitrite and its solutions;
  • Mixtures based on sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate and ammonium salt.

And the last group of substances that cannot be taken into the cabin according to the new rules of 2019 are toxic and infectious substances that, if inhaled, interact with the skin or enter the body through food, can cause death, severe poisoning or illness. This group also includes pathogenic bacteria that are dangerous to the health and life of people and pets.

The procedure for the seizure of prohibited objects

If, during the inspection of hand luggage before boarding, objects and substances prohibited for transportation are found in you, they will be confiscated without fail. In the process of withdrawal, the airport staff will issue an act.

If the confiscated items are on free sale, but cannot be transported in the cabin, they will be given to the mourners or left for storage at the airport.


If a passenger is found to have cartridges or gas weapons without accompanying documents, they will be immediately handed over to the police, and a passenger trying to smuggle objects that are criminally liable for carrying and storing will be removed from the flight and handed over to the internal affairs authorities.

Exceptions to 2019 Rules

When packing your hand luggage, you can put a few things in your bag that are exceptions to the lists listed above:
  • A bottle of vinegar with a volume of not more than half a liter;
  • Alcoholic drinks up to 70% in manufacturer's packaging;
  • Cosmetic aerosols with a volume of not more than 0.5 l;
  • Nail polishes;
  • Lighters and receptacles for their filling (no more than two);
  • One medical thermometer;
  • No more than two kilograms of dry ice for food cooling;
  • 3% hydrogen peroxide in a vial up to 100 ml;
  • One manual tonometer.

Additional airline requirements

Some airlines have tightened the rules for carrying hand luggage, adding potentially dangerous objects to the generally accepted prohibited items, through which a passenger can injure others. These included corkscrews for opening bottles, needles for injections (in the absence of medical indications, confirmed by a certificate), knitting needles and crochet hooks, nail scissors and penknives.

To avoid problems during screening, check the hand luggage rules of the selected company. They are usually published on the airline's website.

Baggage rules Aeroflot was forced to change. At the same time, these changes went only to the benefit of passengers. The fact is that before this, the rules of the airline did not allow summing up the carried luggage. Thus, for example, a family of two with one suitcase overweight per person had to pay extra or separate things. This was against the Federal Aviation Regulations. The transport prosecutor's office of Moscow decided to intercede for passengers and the law, which successfully protested the actions Aeroflot.

Now the rules for carrying luggage on Aeroflot aircraft have become fully compliant with the law, and passengers flying together can combine their baggage.

Baggage rules on Aeroflot aircraft 2018

Passengers using the services Aeroflot are entitled to carry a certain amount of baggage with them free of charge. Its amount depends on the class of service that the client chooses. The only general rule for all classes of service is that the total dimensions of one piece of hand luggage should not exceed 115 cm, and one piece in the luggage compartment - 158 cm.

Passengers can afford to carry most of their belongings with them. For each ticket, you can take two pieces weighing 32 kg each in the luggage compartment and one piece weighing up to 15 kg in the cabin. Passengers flying in Comfort or Economy class at the Premium fare can also count on two pieces of baggage, but already 32 kg each. Also for them, the weight of hand luggage is reduced - up to 10 kg. Least of all, it is allowed to carry things with them to customers who have chosen the usual Economy class - 1 piece weighing no more than 23 kg in the luggage compartment and one piece up to 10 kg in the cabin.

By the way, the baggage rules on airplanes Aeroflot 2018 provide free luggage for children. So, parents of babies under two years old can count on one additional piece of baggage weighing up to 10 kg and total dimensions up to 110 cm. As for older children, aged two to twelve years, the same standards apply for them as for adults .

If the passenger could not meet the described requirements, then he will have to pay extra for extra things, as described in the baggage rules on airplanes Aeroflot 2018. For economy class, the second piece of baggage will cost an additional 2,500 rubles. All subsequent seats, regardless of the class of service, cost 7,500 rubles each. In case of overweight, additional money will also have to be allocated.

Baggage rules Aeroflot made it so that if the weight of the suitcase is in the range from 23 to 32 kg, then economy and comfort class passengers will have to pay the same 2,500 rubles. The maximum weight is limited to 50 kg and is paid an additional 5’000 rubles. The situation is the same with overall dimensions - in the range up to 203 cm, you will have to pay 5,000 rubles, and if it is exceeded, already 7,500 rubles.

  • For 2019, Aeroflot has left the maximum standards for the size, weight of hand luggage and baggage checked in for carriage on an aircraft unchanged. Known to seasoned travelers, restrictions on the number of seats, maximum weight and dimensions remain relevant. All baggage and carry-on baggage allowances vary by travel class and are subject to additional charges.

    Aeroflot traditionally classifies as carry-on baggage all things that are carried by passengers, can be safely placed in the cabin and meet the established requirements. Responsibility for their condition and the harm caused by them rests entirely with the client. During the check-in process, hand luggage is weighed and checked for compliance with dimensions.

    Number of seats

    For things of this category, no more than one seat is allocated on the airliners of the company, regardless of class. In other words, one passenger is allowed to take one bag into the cabin. If the flight is performed by a family, the number of seats corresponds to the number of its members for whom individual seats are booked, regardless of age.

    Limit dimensions

    As a general rule, the size of hand luggage should allow it to be placed under the seat in front or on the top shelf. In Aeroflot, the maximum allowable dimensions for length, width and height are 55x40x25, respectively. The sum of three measurements is 120 centimeters for any tariff.

    Permissible weight

    The weight of hand luggage for transportation on an Aeroflot aircraft is set depending on the class. For customers flying at the Business fare, the allowable weight per seat does not exceed 15 kilograms. Economy class and Comfort provide the opportunity to take on a plane no more than 10 kilograms per seat.

    Personal items

    Aeroflot, like other carriers, allows its customers to take some things into the cabin without taking into account the above restrictions. They are included in the number of personal and are not taken into account when weighing. The list includes:

    • briefcases and women's handbags;
    • Cell phones;
    • portable computers, video and photographic equipment;
    • business papers in a folder;
    • books, newspapers and magazines;
    • shopping bag from duty free.

    This list is much longer, a more detailed list can be found on the website of the air carrier.

    non-standard things

    In the list of goods allowed for free transportation in the cabin, there are items that do not fit the weight norm. These are special wheelchairs for the disabled and baby strollers that are used by the client. They will need to be handed over to the flight attendant at the entrance to the cabin. If the wheelchair has an electric drive and weighs more than 32 kilos, prior approval is required, no later than 36 hours before departure (scheduled time is taken into account). Mandatory approval will be required for the transportation of all musical instruments, regardless of their size. Of the animals, only a guide dog is allowed to fly in the cabin free of charge, if there are appropriate documents (certificate and veterinary certificate). Flight in the cabin with other animals is allowed only in a special container, the weight of which, together with the animal, is not more than 8 kilograms.

    Other restrictions

    In addition to the things listed for this category, there are restrictions on the volume of liquids and compositions equated to it. This applies to drinking water, alcoholic beverages, cosmetics.

On the ticket, their number is usually indicated under the abbreviation PC (Piece Plan) with the corresponding number. Permissible dimensions in all cases should not be more than 158 centimeters in the sum of three dimensions (W * H * D).
