Finding cheap flights

Each airline applies restrictions on the carriage of cargo on an airplane. These standards are presented on the websites of air carriers, and when booking a ticket, be sure to familiarize yourself with them. Otherwise, if you take excess baggage with you, you will have to pay for it in accordance with the proposed rates. At S7 airline, the surcharge rates for baggage and the rules for its transportation are not very different from the tariffs of other Russian air carriers.

Baggage options

Important! It is necessary to distinguish between checked suitcases and items that you will take with you to the cabin. Different restrictions apply to them.

All luggage parameters are divided into three categories:

1. Number of places. Each suitcase or bag carried is considered one piece. If there is more than one, an additional payment is assigned.
2. Weight. For S7 luggage, as with other companies, if the suitcase is overweight, you will have to pay the established tariff. This also applies to the excess weight of your bag, which is included in the free baggage allowance.
3. Dimensions. Checked baggage items, when summing up their length, height and width, must fit into 203 cm. You can take a bag into the cabin that does not exceed the dimensions of 55x40x20 cm.

To check the compliance of hand luggage with permitted standards, special restrictive cells are located near the check-in counters.

Cost and different tariffs

Three years ago, S7 introduced a tariff system, according to which you can choose the option that suits you. Each of them provides restrictions on baggage transportation:

1. Economy Basic. Registered cargo is paid separately. Its maximum weight is 23 kg. Items weighing up to 10 kg are allowed into the salon.
2. Economy Flexible. Free transportation of one piece of luggage weighing up to 23 kg is allowed.
3. Business Basic. Hand luggage - up to 15 kg, luggage compartment suitcase - up to 32 kg.
4. Business Flexible. You are allowed to carry two suitcases weighing up to 32 kg each; a bag weighing up to 15 kg can be taken into the cabin.

Important! Dimensions for carry-on and checked baggage remain standard for all fare types.

If you buy a ticket at the Economy Basic fare in S7, then the additional payment for luggage will be at least 2,500 rubles. Depending on the flight area, it may be higher, but this amount will be collected at the airport. And when you issue an online travel document and at the same time a piece of luggage, you will receive a 28% discount. Thus, the price is reduced to 1800 rubles.

By purchasing a ticket from S7, you can also buy the additional baggage service. This is a new offer that allows you to save money. How much a possible surcharge for excess baggage costs directly at the airport is determined by S7 rules. It depends on the flights or destinations served by S7, if excess baggage is allowed on the company’s aircraft.

Skiers are allowed to carry snowboards, skis and equipment free of charge, but with a weight limit. According to the S7 Economy tariffs - up to 23 kg, Business - up to 32 kg, the cost of excess baggage is determined in accordance with the general procedure.

• in an Aeroport;
• in the Contact Center.

Additional norm

The “Additional baggage allowance” service will help you reserve additional kilograms in advance. With its help, you will purchase one or two additional pieces or pay for excess weight of the free suitcase (up to 32 kg).

S7 Airlines has set the cost of the surcharge for additional baggage in accordance with the time of request.

The cost of an additional piece of baggage on an S7 aircraft is calculated using a special formula based on tariffs for exceeding the standards adopted for certain destinations.

The cost of the service is determined by the discount, which will affect the price of additional baggage on the S7 aircraft:

1. Purchasing the service at the time of booking - 20 percent discount when calculating the surcharge for excess loads.
2. Purchased when booking online 4 hours before departure - 10% discount.

If you purchase the service less than 4 hours before departure, you will not receive any discounts.

Important! The service does not apply to non-standard cargo over 32 kg, exceeding the permitted dimensions, and with more than two additional seats.

When you pay an additional fee for additional suitcases according to this service, and then cancel the flight or the flight is cancelled, the money must be returned.

Transportation of animals

Animals are transported in S7 as paid excess cargo, that is, you have to pay extra for their transportation, even if you are entitled to a free piece of hand luggage or checked cargo.

You can arrange your transportation directly at the airport. No later than 48 hours before departure, you must notify the Contact Center that you will be traveling with an animal.

Where the animal will travel depends on its weight. The S7 company allows only pets to be carried in the cabin: dogs, cats, birds. Each animal in the cabin up to 8 kg must be in a cage or plastic container, which must provide it with access to air and a free position. The same requirements for a pet container apply when transported in the luggage compartment. The dimensions of the cage for hand luggage must be no more than 115 cm in total. The weight is determined by the total: animal + cage.

Pets that do not meet these parameters are transported in the luggage compartment.

Two individuals can be transported in one container when their weight is up to 14 kg and they are capable of peaceful behavior towards each other. Otherwise, if you exceed the weight, you can place a cage with one animal in the luggage compartment.

Important! Animals in the luggage compartment weighing more than 32 kg are often not allowed on international flights, except for flights to CIS countries. On domestic flights - by agreement with the Contact Center and only if there are available seats in the luggage compartment.

Additional payment for transportation of animals on domestic routes:

• in the aircraft cabin (weight up to 8 kg, dimensions up to 115 cm) - 2000 rubles;
• in the luggage compartment (weight up to 32 kg, dimensions up to 203 cm) - 4000 rubles, the same for weights up to 50 kg - 8000 rubles;
• dimensions more than 203 cm, weight up to 23 kg - 4000 rubles, up to 32 kg - 6000 rubles, up to 50 kg - 8000 rubles.

Additional payment for transportation on routes to CIS countries:

• in hand luggage - 35 euros;
• in the luggage compartment a standard cage less than 203 cm - 70 euros (weight 23-32 kg);
• cage over 203 cm (weight 23-32 kg) - 105 euros.

• flight in the cabin of an S7 aircraft - 50 euros;
• in the luggage compartment - 100 euros (weight 23-32 kg);
• size exceeding 203 cm (weight 23-32 kg) corresponds to an additional payment of 150 euros.

To transport animals, in addition to additional payment, you will need veterinary documents certifying the animal’s health status.

What else to consider

If you fly with S7 at the Economy Basic fare, then the additional payment for baggage will cover the benefit of the reduced ticket price. The best option is to fly without a checked suitcase, only with hand luggage.

The S7 company does not allow you to take excess hand luggage into the cabin; it must be placed in your luggage, and the additional payment is made in accordance with the general rules.

Carry-on luggage, in addition to the bag or item established by the regulations, includes:

• outerwear;
• flower bouquets;
• duty-free goods (up to 3 kg, total dimensions 75 cm).

It is better to purchase additional luggage from the S7 carrier online in advance to avoid unnecessary costs.

If the cargo exceeds 203 cm and 32 kg, only S7 can decide on its delivery. The determining factors in this case are the size of the luggage compartment and the degree of its occupancy. If you are carrying such cargo, be sure to call the Contact Center in advance.

By strictly following the rules and navigating the variety of tariffs, you will be able to transport the necessary cargo with minimal costs and without unpleasant surprises before departure.

This article will discuss what you need to know when planning to fly anywhere with S7 airlines (formerly Siberia).

S7 airline compares favorably with many others on the air transportation market with its relatively low fares, a large number of serviced destinations, as well as full hand luggage, which you can take with you on your flight for free if you pay for a ticket at any fare, even the most economical one. This carry-on luggage of the S7 is one of the main competitive advantages, so we’ll start with it.

Size of hand luggage at S7 airline

The size of hand luggage at S7 airline is almost the same size as that of many air carriers, however, there are still differences, although not significant.

So, the permissible dimensions of hand luggage for transportation in the aircraft cabin in 2019 are 55x40x 23 centimeter.

We specifically highlighted the number 23 in bold because... for many it is 25 centimeters. The S7 has a couple of centimeters less.

The weight of hand luggage must be:

• - no more than 10 kilograms for economy class;
• - no more than 15 kilograms for business class.

This is a standard situation. And, although FAP-82 prescribes a minimum free hand luggage of 5 kg, many companies did not change the usual conditions for their passengers, for which we thank them very much!

Hand luggage did not meet the dimensions or weight requirements. What then?

There are two options here. Either think about how to lighten/reduce it, or you’ll have to check it in as luggage. We will talk about how this is done and how much it costs in the section about checked baggage.

What is prohibited from being carried in hand luggage at S7?

In S7 hand luggage, in principle, it is forbidden to carry the same things as other airlines. In order not to write a long list, we will simply list the categories of items and substances prohibited for carriage in hand luggage.

1. Various piercing and cutting objects (knives, knitting needles, syringes with needles and just hypodermic needles without a medical prescription, corkscrews, etc.). By the way, a straight razor is also a dangerous piercing object, so it is not allowed in hand luggage.
2. Transportation of hazardous liquids, explosives, poisons, gases, etc. is also prohibited. Among the gas-containing items, you can bring a lighter on board. With a reservation - one per person. There will be an explanation for liquids even below.
3. Tools, weapons, imitation weapons and dangerous objects are also illegal.
4. Strong and narcotic medications without a doctor's prescription.

Transportation of liquids in hand luggage by S7 airlines

S7 airline has four tariffs for 2019:

Economy Basic - includes only hand luggage up to 10 kilograms and dimensions 55x40x23 cm. Luggage transportation is carried out on a paid basis.

Economy Flexible - includes hand luggage up to 10 kilograms and dimensions 55x40x23 cm and one piece of baggage up to 23 kilograms and total dimensions 203 centimeters.

Business Basic - includes hand luggage up to 15 kilograms and dimensions 55x40x23 cm and one piece of luggage up to 32 kilograms and total dimensions 203 centimeters.

Business Flexible - includes hand luggage up to 15 kilograms and dimensions 55x40x23 cm and two pieces of luggage up to 32 kilograms and total dimensions 203 centimeters.

Otherwise, you will have to check in heavy luggage (up to 50 kilograms). And it’s better to do this through the website no later than 30 hours before departure. It will be more expensive at the airport.

Good news for those who like to relax at ski resorts!

At S7, you have the right to carry in your luggage free of charge, in addition to your main luggage, a snowboard or skis with poles, helmets and goggles, packing them in a case. The only requirement is that all this equipment must weigh no more than 23 kilograms.

What is prohibited from being carried in baggage at S7 Airlines?

Weapons, explosives, poisons, hazardous liquids, gas cylinders, including scuba cylinders, radioactive substances and other items that threaten flight safety are prohibited for transportation on S7 airlines.

Obviously, if you are flying on vacation and bringing shorts, swimming trunks and an inflatable ring, no one will say a word to you. But if, for example, you are flying to go diving or spearfishing with your own equipment, you may not be allowed onto the plane with all your equipment, and not out of harm, but solely for safety reasons.

In this section, we will simply talk about why you should not take something on a flight, even if it is on the list of permitted items.

1. Bouquet of flowers.

There is such a rule, but keep in mind that if you take this bouquet abroad, they may require a certificate, which you will not have. As a result, you will throw the flowers in the trash, it’s good if you don’t pay the fine for transporting prohibited items.

Also, people flying with you on the plane may be allergic to flowers. Naturally, the crew does not need problems on the entrusted board; accordingly, the flowers will be confiscated from you and thrown away.

2. Knives allowed for transportation in hand luggage.

There is a narrow list that can be carried. However, if at the security control they decide that this knife does not meet the standards, they will throw it away and you will be left without a knife.

3. An animal that does not tolerate flying well.

The permissible dimensions and weight of hand luggage on an airplane are limited to certain standards. At the same time, there are no universal parameters for the baggage that a passenger can carry with him in the cabin of the aircraft: the norms mainly depend on the carrier, the paid class of service, as well as the flight distance.

In any case, you will have to find out the permitted weight and size of hand luggage in advance: in order not to pay for excess weight and to avoid the most unpleasant situation - getting rid of excess things just before departure.

Before purchasing tickets, you should carefully study the tariffs of low-cost airlines and offers on new promotional tariffs - this applies to both domestic and foreign airlines. Cheap flights may come with restrictions: no checked or carry-on luggage, or stricter baggage weight requirements.
