Types of luggage

Checked baggage is marked with a special tag indicating the final destination with all intermediate stops, and the tag also marks the connection of the baggage with the ticket number, respectively, and its belonging to a specific passenger.

Depending on the category, the allowances may be dictated by various circumstances and differ from each other.

About the rules additional payment and the possibility of taking excess baggage on the plane is best to check with the operator in advance. In the event of a busy flight and aircraft, the airline reserves the right to refuse to accept additional weight on board.

The airline operates many flights in conjunction with other airlines. In the event that Aeroflot is not the main operator of a code-share flight, but only a partner of another airline, the baggage rules of the operating company apply on the flight.

If the flight consists of several flights and is operated by several airlines, not only Aeroflot, the baggage allowance is in accordance with the rules applied by the dominant air carrier on the flight. For example, if a flight consists of three flights, one of which takes 2 hours in the air and is operated by Aeroflot, another is above ground for an hour and is owned by Turkish Airlines, and the third is operated by Lufthansa and takes 8 hours, then baggage is subject to subject to Lufthansa regulatory control.

Children under two years of age receive a 90% discount on a ticket, due to the fact that they are not provided separate place. Children from 2 to 12 years old occupy a full seat in the cabin, respectively, the same baggage rules apply to them.

Call the call center, indicate the reservation number and the characteristics of each piece: weight and dimensions, they will also ask about the nature of the cargo.

If oversized luggage is presented only at check-in, it can be sent on the next flight, as there is not enough free space in the luggage compartment.

Aeroflot often arranges promotions for free transportation of sports equipment, especially to popular destinations during the season - look for promotions on the website or check the current conditions in the call center.

Reliable packaging is your concern. So that non-standard luggage is not damaged by loaders, carefully and securely pack it, preferably in a special case, and ask for a fragile cargo sticker - then they will handle it more carefully.

Fragile and valuable luggage is transported in a separate passenger seat. You will have to buy another ticket at the regular fare, with the porthole seat going to the cargo. Check the maximum dimensions of the load - 135x50x30 centimeters, and the weight is less than .80 kilograms.
