Beach umbrella on the plane. Hand luggage. What can and cannot be taken on a plane? Is it possible to carry an umbrella in hand luggage?

A passenger who is planning to fly by plane must understand the difference between checked baggage and classic carry-on baggage. These are completely different concepts - by distinguishing them, you can save a lot. Baggage is a large suitcase that you check in upon boarding and is checked in and checked. Carry-on baggage on an airplane is a backpack or travel bag carried on board by a passenger. It should be of such weight and dimensions that you can lay it on top yourself.

If you have taken an economy class ticket, you have the right to bring a bag for one piece of luggage with you on board. Business class usually allows two seats.

One place means a bag with the sum of the sides up to 115 centimeters (add height, length, width). A standard “flight” bag has dimensions of 55*40*20. The weight of the bag varies from carrier to carrier: it can vary depending on the route or type of aircraft. For example, Aeroflot allows the carriage of 10 kilograms of hand luggage, Lufthansa - 8 kg, KLM - almost 12 kg.

You must lift your hand luggage into place yourself

Most carriers in the CIS countries and Europe use luggage weights in the range of 8-10 kilograms. Before departure, be sure to check this information on the company’s website so as not to find yourself in an unpleasant situation: some air carriers turn a blind eye to overload, others force you to pay the cost of a second seat even with an overload of 300-500 grams.

Note: Some American and Canadian carriers provide 2 pieces of carry-on luggage even in economy class. This is a good way to save money because if your bag is heavier, it counts as a second item and costs extra.

Carefully study the information when purchasing tickets for low-cost airlines. They very often limit the size and weight of luggage.

What is allowed in carry-on luggage?

Very often, novice travelers do not know what they can take in hand luggage. This is a really interesting and important question.

Liquids

Almost all carriers strictly limit the volume of transported liquids to 100 ml. The following rules must be observed:

All tubes are packed in one bag. It is prohibited to divide them into several. One passenger has one package.
Any liquids must be carried in containers and tubes, and their volume should not exceed 100 ml. This applies to everything: gels, creams, water, alcohol, juices, etc.
Containers with liquids must be in plastic packaging with zippers. However, most airlines allow the use of standard size bags (20 by 20 cm).
The total volume of liquid products in your suitcase should not exceed one liter.
Be sure to present the packaging when passing through the counter for inspection by the appropriate specialists.

Note: no bottle should exceed the norm of 100 ml. You will not be able to carry out 50 ml. shampoo in 250 pack. If the volume is indicated on the packaging, then customs officers will not have any questions.

All liquids must be packed in a ziplock bag

If you are bringing baby food, you do not need to put it in a bag. But be sure to present it at the counter. Keep in mind that the security service may ask you to open absolutely any tube for inspection. When transporting medical supplies containing narcotic substances, you will need a prescription signed and stamped by a doctor.

You cannot carry any aerosols in your luggage unless they are medicines. In this case, you will have to present a certificate with a diagnosis or a prescription stamped by a doctor.

What drinks can you take with you on a plane? Absolutely everything, but only in containers with a volume of no more than one hundred ml. This can be juice, mineral water, plain water, alcohol (no more than 70% strength). However, some carriers prohibit any consumption of alcohol on board.

Hygiene products

You can take with you a safety razor, solid deodorants, wipes, soap, shampoos, masks, etc. But remember that most cosmetics fall under the concept of “liquid” and have the restrictions described above.

Note: You shouldn’t carry mountains of creams and varnishes with you on the plane. It’s easier to buy them on the spot or use them free of charge in hotels.

Electronics

Various electronic gadgets have already become commonplace - it is difficult to meet a tourist traveling without a laptop, smartphone, tablet or player. All this can be freely carried in your luggage, however, you will most likely be asked to put large items in for additional inspection (usually laptops are checked). Never put fragile electronics in your luggage - they will most likely be broken or damaged. Remember that a laptop and camera are not considered carry-on luggage, but personal items. That is, if according to the rules you can take 10 kg on a plane, then a laptop does not fall into these 10 kilograms. This allows you to save a lot of money, but just check the airline's policy in advance.

You can take a separate bag for your laptop, which can also accommodate other useful things.

Other electronics, including hygiene products (electric shavers, hair dryers, hair straighteners, etc.) will not raise any questions from the security service.

Food

Air carriers have no special requirements for food, but customs officers may have complaints. You can take any dry and solid foods with you on the plane:

cookies, chips, waffles, snacks;
various nuts (peanuts, walnuts, pistachios);
vegetables and fruits (in reasonable quantities);

pastries, cakes, sweets;
sausage, sausages, sandwiches, cutlets.

Note: honey, yogurt, various canned foods and soups are considered liquid. Accordingly, they can be transported in containers with the same volume of 100 ml.

What about Duty Free?

If you are purchasing goods in a duty-free area, then the limit is 100 ml. don't work. But at the same time you must not tamper with the packaging of the goods. Remember that if you are flying with transfers, then you need to keep purchased liquids sealed until the end of your trip. If the packaging is damaged, they will most likely be confiscated.

Note: goods purchased in duty free are not considered personal items, but are packed in a backpack. Accordingly, the weight of your hand luggage will increase and you may be fined.

What else can you take to the salon?

Many airlines allow you to carry personal items in addition to luggage. Their list includes:

folding umbrellas;
shawls, blankets, pillows;
laptop bags, women's handbags;
laptops, tablets, cameras (a tripod must be packed in luggage);
books, newspapers, magazines;
cradles for children and folding strollers;
crutches for personal use.

This list may not apply to low-cost airlines: they usually force you to put all your things in one bag. But it all depends on the company’s policy - be sure to find out this issue. It is not recommended to take excess weight on low-cost airlines, since you will be forced to pay for an “extra seat,” and its price may be equal to half the ticket.

What can't you take?

You have already learned what you can carry in hand luggage on an airplane, now we will tell you about what is prohibited from taking on board.

Any liquids with a volume of more than one hundred ml.
Any products of animal origin (lard, meat, milk). But if the products are included in the sandwich, then you can bring them in.
Any dangerous objects (knives, razors with retractable blades, ski poles, baseball bats, etc.).
Explosive objects and weapons.
Hazardous substances (acids, alkalis, flammable and toxic agents, gas cartridges).

Some of these items can only be carried in luggage, while others are generally prohibited for transportation by air. The rules of some EU countries prohibit taking on board goods purchased in a duty-free zone outside the EU when transferring to a flight. Be sure to clarify this question so as not to lose money.

In contact with

The first thing you need to take care of is to purchase a transport container - a durable hard case for an umbrella, preferably not in the form of a tube, otherwise transporting it along luggage belts will be problematic. Transport capacity is important because, for example, if an umbrella is not allowed to be carried in the aircraft cabin, then it will be offered to be sent to the luggage compartment only in packaged form. In this case, no matter how the umbrella travels - together with the passenger in the cabin, or separately from him, in the luggage compartment, it will remain intact. In addition, when registering it, there will be fewer questions.

Hand luggage

So, if there is a need to travel with a beach umbrella, it would be a good idea to contact the airline, or at least read the baggage and carry-on rules. For example, some companies are quite free to accept an umbrella as carry-on luggage, even if it exceeds the norm, but you should still not rely on this. The standard dimensions of hand luggage are 55 x 40 x 20 cm; most companies adhere to these standards - Aeroflot, Air Berlin, German Wings, Ryanair, Scandinavian Airlines, Thomas Cook, Transaero, Volotea, Vueling. Some companies allow hand luggage dimensions of 56 x 45 x 25 cm, such as British Airways or Jet 2. Others, on the contrary, set smaller dimensions, such as Easyjet - 50 x 40 x 20 cm.

Then you need to pay attention to what allowable weight the airline offers for carriage as part of hand luggage. As a rule, it varies from 8 to 23 kg. Some companies like Easyjet or Iberia do not set weight restrictions.

Even if the folded and packed beach umbrella is the right size to be carried in hand luggage, it is worth remembering that you can only carry one of it. All other items will go in your regular checked baggage. That is, you won’t be able to take any other bag with you, even a small bag with documents and wallets. You will either have to stuff it all into your pockets, or, if the person is not traveling alone, hand it to your companion. This applies mainly to passengers traveling in economy class, for holders of Premium and Business class tickets; almost any airline allows the carriage of several bags in hand luggage.

Checked baggage

Some beach umbrellas can be sent as free checked baggage. Most large companies, such as Aeroflot, Americanairlines, Lufthansa, Airfrance, set the dimensions for this at 158 cm (this should be the sum of three dimensions - width, height, and length of the suitcase). In addition, luggage must not exceed 23 kg. Some airlines, such as VIM-Avia, allow suitcases and bags whose size does not exceed 203 cm (the sum of three dimensions) to be carried as free baggage. Most rules suggest that economy class passengers can carry no more than one suitcase of checked baggage, while Premium and Business class passengers are given two and sometimes three pieces of checked baggage.

Non-standard or oversized luggage

However, most travelers are faced with the fact that a beach umbrella does not fit in hand luggage and cannot fit in checked luggage. In this case, most airlines may offer to place it in custom or oversized baggage. This usually includes sports equipment, musical instruments, various fishing equipment, baby strollers, animals, and, in general, those things that cannot be moved in a regular luggage compartment. This service may well be paid, but not always. For example, many airlines offer advance reservations for free oversized luggage. As a rule, the maximum permissible dimensions for it are about 300 cm (the sum of three dimensions). If

Air travel is the fastest and most comfortable way for a passenger to get from point “A” to point “B”. It is difficult to find an adult citizen of our country who has not flown on an airplane at least once. But even experienced airline passengers cannot always accurately answer the question: “What can be taken in hand luggage and what cannot?” We will try to understand in detail all the intricacies of air carrier rules.

Definition of hand luggage and allowance

Carry-on luggage is the name given to the passenger's personal belongings carried in the cabin of the aircraft. Most often these are bags, packages, baskets and backpacks. It is important to understand that it is not the number of items that is counted, but their total volume and weight. How many bags can you take? As many as you like, the main thing is that together they comply with established standards. The standard one that can be taken into the salon is 115 cm in the sum of three dimensions (55x40x20 cm). At the same time, the total weight of passenger bags should not exceed 10 kg for economy and comfort classes; 15 kg for business class. Please note that these are the standards of many major air carriers, including Aeroflot. Some companies set their own requirements for the permissible weight and volume of hand luggage. When using the services of a particular carrier for the first time, you should familiarize yourself with its rules.

What can you take into the cabin, besides hand luggage?

On long flights, passengers want to have as many personal items as possible on hand. Airlines are doing their best to accommodate their customers. Not long ago, a list of items allowed for transportation in the cabin in addition to hand luggage appeared. a diplomat or folder with documents up to 30x40x10 in size is not included in cabin baggage and can be carried by a passenger. During the flight, you can carry 1 laptop, carried in a special bag, and 1 camera/binoculars. In addition to hand luggage, you can take 1 umbrella and a limited amount of newspapers into the cabin for reading during the flight (2-3 newspapers/magazines or 1 book). Each passenger can carry one package of Duty Free purchases. What clothes and accessories can you take in hand luggage? Almost everything respects the general dimensions and weight. Experienced travelers advise: try to wear as much as possible and put it in your pockets. Do not forget that the clothes worn by the passenger (including outerwear during cold periods) are not considered hand luggage. If you fly often, pay attention to special jackets for travelers with many spacious pockets.

Packing your bag for the trip correctly

Most airlines offer their customers very favorable conditions for baggage transportation. It would seem, why take anything else to the salon? But it is still difficult to completely do without hand luggage. We recommend that you pack the bag you will take with you on the flight at the same time as your main suitcase. In your hand luggage you need to put all the most valuable and fragile things, as well as items that you may need during the flight. Be sure to take documents, money, jewelry and electronics with you into the cabin. If you are bringing some fragile souvenirs with you, it also makes sense to place them in your hand luggage. Don't forget about cosmetics. We will describe in detail below how to package liquid cosmetics. When collecting cabin luggage, remember that a suitcase checked into the luggage compartment may get lost. Unfortunately, none of us are immune from such troubles. Accordingly, it would be a good idea to put a full set of clothes for a change in a small travel bag. What hand luggage can you take on a plane, and where should you put your cabin luggage? The most convenient options for packing essentials: a bag or backpack with many compartments. Choose transformers that easily change their external dimensions. This is very convenient if you are flying with a company that has more stringent requirements for hand luggage. Using a transformable bag, you can always change its size in one motion.

List of Prohibited Items

When packing for a trip, be sure to study and remember the list of things that cannot be taken on board the plane. Airline passengers are prohibited from transporting any weapons, as well as souvenirs and children's toys depicting them. You cannot take any flammable, explosive or toxic substances with you into the aircraft cabin. Attention: household chemicals, cosmetics and some medications fit the description of this category. Many women are accustomed to carrying a manicure set in their handbag. Put it out urgently, since any sharp, piercing or cutting objects cannot be carried in hand luggage. In particular, these are cutlery, knives, tools, cosmetic and medical accessories.

Aeroflot rules. Carry-on luggage: what liquids can you take into the cabin?

Transportation of any liquid substances is a special point in the rules of any airline. From year to year, the standards are becoming more and more stringent, and this is done solely for safety reasons. The thing is that, under the guise of household liquids, terrorists have repeatedly tried to smuggle explosives on board. How much liquid can you take in your hand luggage today? Let's look at the example of the standards of the largest air carrier in Russia - Aeroflot. One passenger can take into the aircraft cabin no more than 1 liter of liquids packed in containers with a volume of no more than 100 ml. All liquid products must be stored in one resealable transparent bag, the recommended size is 20x20 cm. The definition of “liquid” includes any cosmetics, food, and other non-solid substances. Carefully study the rules of a particular airline. In most cases, products such as lipstick, toothpaste, cosmetic creams, canned food, soups, jam and caviar are also considered “liquids”.

Duty Free purchases

Many airline passengers love to shop at Duty Free. Airline companies please their customers with the absence of strict requirements and restrictions in this regard. Today, each passenger has the right to carry 1 package of Duty Free purchases with him in the aircraft cabin. Take the time to study the intricacies of the legislation of the country into which you are importing such luggage. For example, one person can bring only 2 liters of alcoholic beverages and 2 cartons of cigarettes into Russia. When flying on transit flights, the Duty Free package becomes part of the passenger's carry-on luggage during a transfer. Remember this rule, and if you plan on shopping during the flight, leave enough space in your cabin luggage for purchases.

Is it possible to take food into the cabin of an airplane?

A popular question among novice air travelers is: “Can I take food and snacks in my hand luggage?” During long flights, passengers are provided with meals on board. But it is still much more pleasant to have, albeit a small, personal supply of food. Food products can be taken in hand luggage. The main thing is not to forget about the norms for transporting liquids. Respect the people around you and try to choose foods that don’t have a strong smell for a snack on your trip. It is also advisable to take with you for snacks foods that do not crumble. The best option is dried fruits, nuts, fruits, vegetables, sweets.

Rules for the carriage of non-standard baggage

It is not recommended to place fragile or valuable items in the luggage compartment, as the risk of damage is too great. If you plan to take anything unusual with you on your trip, check with your airline representative when purchasing your ticket. Animals are allowed to be transported in the aircraft cabin in specially equipped cages and carriers. Most airlines require an additional payment for this service in the amount of the cost of excess baggage. Is it possible to take musical instruments and large, highly sensitive equipment in hand luggage? Transportation of large and fragile items in the aircraft cabin is discussed individually. In most cases, air carriers accommodate passengers halfway. Carriage of non-standard luggage in the cabin is not always free. For example, a passenger may be asked to purchase a separate ticket for a large musical instrument and advised to transport it in a purchased seat.

Where is hand luggage stored?

If you are flying for the first time, do not hesitate to ask the flight attendants for help stowing your cabin luggage. Hand luggage in the aircraft cabin is carried on the overhead shelves (located above the passenger seats) and/or on the floor under the seats. Try not to put away things that will be used during the trip: snacks, gadgets, books and magazines. All the necessary little things can be placed on the folding table. If you're still wondering how much hand luggage you can take on a plane, choose two bags or one backpack and a bag. If you divide all the cabin luggage into two parts, it will not be difficult for you to manage it.

Be sure to check what you can take in hand luggage and what you can’t at the stage of purchasing a ticket. The thing is that the rules of different airlines may differ slightly. During the flight, listen to and follow all requirements and recommendations of the flight attendants. Remember, you cannot use most modern gadgets while flying. Computers, tablets and smartphones create and receive electronic signals that can interfere with the operation of aircraft controls. Be mutually polite to other passengers. Try to behave quietly and calmly, without creating inconvenience for others. Now you know what you can take in your hand luggage, and this is not such a small list of things. Many experienced travelers prefer to travel around the world with cabin luggage. Try and limit yourself to 10-15 kilograms of things. Perhaps traveling light will be an unexpectedly pleasant discovery for you.
