Each person has to someday pack his bags and pack their bags in anticipation of a pleasant journey. And so that your optimism at the airport before boarding does not dissolve in the air, you need to look in detail at the baggage rules. In the plane of each company, there are certain standards for this.
This article will help the passenger to understand what can be taken on board the aircraft, what needs to be done with liquid and aerosols, with gifts purchased in Duty Free, in a word, it will familiarize the reader in detail with what rules for baggage and baggage can be transported on the plane, what weight and size exist today.
The baggage that is carried on an airplane is divided into hand baggage, i.e. the one that you are allowed to take with you on board the airliner, and for cargo that is considered unaccompanied, i.e. Checked in and obtained after arrival at the airport.
However, regardless of the type of cargo, it is carefully checked at the airport, directly during check-in and baggage claim. Representatives of the airline should be presented with all your baggage, even a woman’s handbag. This requirement is primarily due to the safety of passengers in the air. It is on the basis of these considerations, as well as for the safety of your belongings, that you should never leave your suitcases unattended, transfer your luggage, or, even worse, take someone else's transport.
The “rules for the carriage” of baggage stipulate that the carrier takes it on its own responsibility and is responsible for its full safety. If a company representative marks your suitcase with a tag, then from that moment it is already considered registered and transferred to the luggage compartment of the aircraft.
The passenger has the right to make a statement about the value of his cargo if it exceeds the permissible limits for which the air carrier is responsible. In this case, it is supposed to pay an additional fee to be paid at the cash desk right at the airport before departure.
The departing passenger has the right to carry one baggage baggage with him, which is allowed to be transported free of charge, however, his weight should not exceed ten kilograms, and in the sum of all measurements the size should not exceed 115 centimeters.
The rules of baggage allowance on the plane include the free transport of several personal items, such as a handbag, coat or raincoat, flowers, a cane or umbrella, a video or camera, a laptop, a baby cradle designed for the road, a folding wheelchair, crutches, a shopping bag made in a store located in a tax-free zone.
Items of value - passports, business and securities, medicines, jewelry, fragile breaking items must always be carried in your hand luggage.
Since June 1, 2011, the majority of major air carriers - Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Aeroflot, Alitalia, Finnair - introduced changes in baggage rules, in the airplane of their companies - calculation according to the number of seats system according to which each economy class passenger has the right to carry only one piece of baggage having a weight of up to 23 kilograms. For each additional extra place you will need to pay extra. The cost of the surcharge is directly dependent on the duration of the flight.
If the dimensions and weight of your baggage are greater than the parameters established by the norm, then we advise you to resolve all issues related to it in advance. Payment for excess baggage must be made according to the baggage tariff, which will be valid on the day the payment receipt is issued by the airline. Payment on credit is not made.
If you are flying on an airplane owned by Aeroflot airline, the rules of which are extremely loyal, you can arrange your cargo as unaccompanied by a separate air waybill. And in conclusion, I want to say that you need to take seriously the question that “you need to check in your luggage and what to bring with you on board” so as not to create problems for yourself or the airline that carries you.
