The passenger's personal property carried on board falls into the baggage category. Airlines' policies in this regard vary. Therefore, it is appropriate for a passenger who intends to fly with a particular airline to familiarize themselves with the carrier's requirements. Let's consider the conditions for transporting luggage of the Russian holding company " Ural AL» and find out what additional payment is provided here for baggage in excess of the established norm.

Let's find out the general rules for carrying baggage. The baggage allowance is regulated by a separate section of the airline's requirements, which provides for the division of the client's belongings into hand luggage and luggage itself. Size standards hand luggage depend on the class of flight, and determining the limit of things that will go in the luggage compartment governs the fare plan of the airline ticket.

Let's talk about working tariffs for passengers. Today, the company's clients reserve seats on board using six options presented. The most affordable way to travel with this airline is the “Promo” tariff. However, airlines do not provide space in the luggage compartment for flights within the country, CIS countries and international flights. In such situations, customers only have access to paid luggage.

Tariff plans "Economy" and "Premium Economy" allow the client to use a single space in the luggage compartment. However, the luggage weight here is up to 23 kg. Exceeding this criterion requires additional funding.

When purchasing “Business Light” or “Comfort Light” air tickets, the client has the right to increase the weight of luggage to 32 kg. At the same time, the airline offers the passenger one seat in the luggage compartment. But expensive “Business” tickets require an increase to two pieces of luggage with a maximum weight of 32 kilograms. The described conditions briefly characterize the company’s policy “ Ural Airlines" Baggage whose weight does not fit within the specified limits is subject to additional payment by the passenger.

Exceptions

These standards do not apply to all flights. When traveling to Dubai from Moscow, passengers have the right to take a suitcase weighing up to 15 kg. The Moscow-Belgrade-Moscow flight assumes an increase in the norm to 32 kilograms. In addition, special rates apply for flights from the capital to Baikonur in both directions.

Here, clients with standard conditions of service take on board only up to 5 kg of hand luggage and check in a maximum of 15 kg of things as checked luggage. On the same flight, business class passengers bring up to 10 kg of personal belongings into the cabin, and here they can check in a suitcase weighing 30 kg in the luggage compartment. Similar rates apply to children 2–12 years old, depending on the class of service. But the carriage of luggage for an infant is not provided on all of the described routes.

Things in the cabin

Now let’s take a quick look at how hand luggage is transported on an airplane “ Ural Airlines" The dimensions and weight of things on board the aircraft are determined by the cabin service class. Three budget economy class plans offer free transportation travel bag with dimensions of 55X40X20 and a weight of 10 kilograms. These standards apply to adult passengers and children under 12 years of age.

For passengers who prefer a high-class flight, the airline offers two free seats for hand luggage. The maximum dimensions of the sides of bags remain within the economy class norm, but the weight of transported property increases to 15 kilograms.

Parents flying with infants under two years of age have the right to carry an additional 10 kilograms of luggage per child free of charge. Moreover, it does not matter for the airline whether customers check things in as luggage or take them into the cabin. Passengers will be able to transport a baby stroller free of charge.

In addition to checked luggage, travelers have the right to additionally bring on board a personal bag for daily use, baby food, small household appliances: laptop, phone, video or photo camera, clothes in briefcases. However, due to recent events, airlines are asking customers to refrain from using and charging the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone on board, since the device is susceptible to spontaneous combustion.

Payment for excess baggage

Now let’s figure out how much baggage costs on a plane.” Ural Airlines" When purchasing a Promo class air ticket, a passenger will certainly be interested in this question. When flying within Russia, the cost of transporting a suitcase with a standard economy class weight of 23 kilograms will cost 2,000 rubles. Traveling to the CIS countries requires paying 25 euros for one place in the luggage compartment. Passengers on international flights will have to pay for such services at a rate of 50 euros.

Oversized luggage is paid by clients on a per-place basis or per excess weight basis. The cost of the second place in the luggage compartment, provided that the weight of things does not exceed 23 kg, was assessed by the airline as similar to the standards of the Promo package. The only exception here is this package itself. The company has set a tax of 150 euros for foreign air travel. Please note that this rule only applies to economy class passengers. The tariff for a occupied third place on international routes is also 150 € for all service packages.

Business class clients pay for additional seats at the rate of 2,000 rubles within Russia, 50 euros when traveling within the CIS and 150 € on international flights. However, the norm of transported luggage here has been increased to 32 kg, and the dimensions of the cargo fit into a total value of 2,030 mm.

Excess weight of luggage in the range of 23 -32 kilograms will require an additional payment of 2,000 rubles in Russia, 25 euros in the CIS countries and 100 € if the client is planning a flight abroad. Of course, such requirements apply only to economy class passengers. Exceeding the weight of baggage from 32 to 50 kilograms requires advance notification to the airlines. If the issue is resolved positively, the passenger will pay the airlines 10,000 rubles if he intends to fly within the country. Similar conditions on flights within the CIS will require an additional payment of one hundred euros. International flights will increase the fee to 150 €.

And business class customers receive a 50% discount on excess seats.

Airline special requirements

The airline " " intends to change the baggage and hand luggage allowances. The new standards look rather strange and atypical. The innovations will apply to tickets sold from November 20, reports the correspondent. website.

The main changes concern the cheapest Promo tariffs. Currently, passengers with such tickets can carry only 10 kilograms of hand luggage free of charge (plus a briefcase or handbag, a briefcase, printed publications, a photo and video camera, a bouquet of flowers and other items from the list of personal items in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)). For tickets sold from November 20, there is a strange free allowance - 5 kilograms in hand luggage (plus the above personal items) and 10 kilograms in checked baggage. In addition, the hand luggage allowance has been reduced from 10 to 5 kilograms for all economy class fares, and not just for Promo fares.

The new norm, firstly, will upset passengers who are accustomed to taking these 10 kilograms with them into the aircraft cabin (for example, in the form of a small backpack or a small wheeled bag). Secondly, it does not fully correspond to the FAP, which stipulate only 10 free kilograms, but at the same time actually giving the passenger a choice - whether to check them in as checked baggage or take them into the cabin as hand luggage. It is likely that one of the motives for the innovations was a lawsuit against another airline, in which the court concluded that the passenger has the right to make such a choice.

In any case, there are serious doubts that Ural Airlines will carefully check the weight of every bag that passengers carry into the cabin. In any case, when relatively recently many companies, including Ural Airlines, had a formal norm of 5 kilograms preserved from Soviet times, no one controlled the actual weight of hand luggage.

For passengers wishing to carry more than 5 kilograms into the cabin and not checking luggage, it makes sense to use online check-in or self-check-in kiosks to avoid attempts to weigh carry-on luggage at regular airport check-in counters. The likelihood of hand luggage being weighed at the gate is currently negligible. In addition, the company has not published any algorithm of actions in case of attempts to bring more than 5 kilograms into the cabin, which most likely indicates that there is simply no weight control at the gate.

If all this is really true, then the innovations as a whole can be considered favorable for passengers with the cheapest Promo tickets. They will be able to check in 10 kilograms of luggage and at the same time retain the ability to carry a significant amount of hand luggage (plus personal items from the above list). For passengers of the more expensive "Economy" and "Premium Economy" fares, the innovations are rather negative - now, when checking in their luggage, they risk being faced with an attempt by check-in counter staff to limit their hand luggage to 5 kilograms instead of the previous 10. However, in most cases this is quite easy to get around with using the above list of personal items that, according to the FAP, are not subject to weighing or marking and are not taken into account when calculating carry-on baggage allowances.

The baggage allowance for Economy and Premium Economy passengers has been kept at the level of one piece of 23 kilograms. Carrying an additional piece of baggage for all fares still costs 2,000 rubles on domestic routes and 35-40 euros on international routes for each flight segment, that is, for connecting flights the fee must be doubled. Free transportation of sports equipment is available only on Economy and Premium Economy fares.

It is not yet entirely clear whether the price ratio of the Promo and Economy tariffs themselves will change from November 20. Now in most cases the difference between them is much less than the cost of later adding luggage, although it varies greatly from route to route. In other words, it is better to know when purchasing a ticket whether you will need to carry luggage or not.

From July 10, 2010, the rules for hand luggage (carriage of hand luggage on an airplane) in the aircraft cabin on Ural Airlines flights are changing. The weight of hand luggage carried in the cabin is now NOT included in the free baggage allowance on the plane.
