A passenger who is going to fly by plane must understand the difference between checked-in 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 when boarding, it goes through check-in and checks. Hand luggage on an airplane is a backpack or travel bag carried by a passenger on board. 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 carry a bag for one piece of luggage with you on board the aircraft. In business class, you are usually allowed to occupy two seats.

One place means a bag with the sum of the sides up to 115 centimeters (height, length, width add up). The standard "flight" bag has dimensions 55*40*20. The weight of the bag for different carriers is “floating”: 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 carry your carry-on baggage yourself

Most carriers of the CIS countries and Europe practice a lot of luggage 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 second place even with an overload of 300-500 grams.

Note: some US and Canadian carriers provide 2 pieces of hand luggage even in economy class. This is a good way to save money, because if your bag is heavier, then it counts as second place and is paid separately.

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

What is allowed in hand luggage?

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

Liquids

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

1. All tubes are packed in one package. Dividing them into several is prohibited. One passenger has one package.
2. 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.
3. Containers with liquids must be in a plastic bag with zippers. At the same time, most airlines allow the use of standard size bags (20 by 20 cm).
4. The total volume of liquid funds in your suitcase should not exceed one liter.
5. Be sure to present the packaging when passing the counter for control by the relevant specialists.

Note: not a single vial should exceed the norm of 100 ml. You will not be able to hold 50 ml. shampoo in 250 pack. If the volume is indicated on the package, then the customs officers will not have any questions.

All liquids must be packed in a ziplock bag.

If you are carrying baby food, then it does not need to be packed 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 verification. When transporting medicines with narcotic substances, you will need a prescription signed and stamped by a doctor.

You can not carry any aerosols in your baggage, only if they are not medicines. In this case, you will have to present a certificate of diagnosis or a prescription with a seal from the doctor.

What can I take on a plane with drinks? Absolutely everything, but only in containers with a volume of not more than one hundred ml. It can be juice, mineral water, ordinary water, alcohol (strength not more than 70%). However, some carriers prohibit any consumption of alcohol on board.

Hygiene products

You can bring a safety razor, hard deodorants, wipes, soaps, shampoos, masks, etc. with you. But remember that most cosmetics fall under the concept of “liquid” and have the above limitations.

Note: Do not drag mountains of creams and varnishes with you on the plane. It is easier to buy them on the spot or use the free ones 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 luggage, however, you will most likely be asked to put large items for additional inspection (usually laptops are checked). Never check fragile electronics in luggage - they will most likely be broken or broken. Remember that a laptop and a camera are not hand 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, but just find out the policy of the air carrier in advance.

For a laptop, you can take a separate bag that will fit other useful things.

The rest of the electronics, up to hygiene products (electric shavers, hair dryers, hair straighteners, etc.) will not cause 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 a reasonable amount);

• pastries, cakes, sweets;
• sausage, sausages, sandwiches, meatballs.

Note: honey, yoghurts, 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 buy goods in the duty-free zone, then the restrictions on 100 ml. do not work. But at the same time, you must not violate 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 the trip. If the packaging is broken, they will most likely be confiscated.

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

What else can you take into 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 policy of the company - be sure to find out this question. Taking extra weight in low-cost airlines is not recommended, as you will be forced to pay for an “extra seat”, and its price can be equal to half the ticket.

What can't be taken?

You have already learned what you can carry in hand luggage on an airplane, now we will talk about what is forbidden to take on board.

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

Some of these items can only be carried in baggage, some 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

We take with us to Turkey a prefabricated beach umbrella - unassembled 90 cm high. It will not fit in a suitcase, and sending one in luggage is the same as throwing it out right away. Will they let him on the plane? (Charter flight, Russian airline). And yet - did anyone fly with Kaliningrad Avia

Question about VimAvia

Today I tried to find out by official phones, but they could not answer anything intelligibly, and at the central office the "specialist left" for two hours already. Questions: 1. What is the weight limit for hand luggage. If 3 people are flying (2 adults, a child with a seat) does this mean

Is a regular folding umbrella hand luggage?

Hi all! Can you tell me if they will let you take an ordinary folding umbrella on the plane, or maybe a cane will also give you a ride? We fly airberlin and ryanair. Thank you all for your help)

Overload

1) Is it possible to wear three light jackets at once on an airplane? (looked in the mirror - the design looks like an average down jacket) 2) How firmly should a guitar be packed in cardboard without a hard case so that it is not damaged? 3) Can I take as manual

alcohol on the plane

I have a question about how to take alcohol out of the country - not from ours, dear, but let's say from abroad. Well, I decided to bring something from the local as a gift to my friends .. can I take everything with me on board? otherwise I heard that we now have some kind of cruel rules - nothing

In 2017, new rules for carrying hand luggage on an airplane came out. We advise you to carefully read the list of what you can take in hand luggage and what not if you are going on an air trip. Ignorance of such subtleties, alas, can overshadow your vacation.

Food

You can carry any food on board the aircraft, except for liquid and jelly-like food. You can take with you: nuts; cookie; fruits; sandwiches; chips, etc. For a child, you can take baby food. But refrain from yoghurts, juices, jellies and similar products, otherwise they will be confiscated from you. They will also take canned food and food in jars. All permitted products should be packaged in transparent bags. This will greatly speed up the inspection.

It is important to take into account the specifics of the carrier and the airport. So, at the Paris airport. Charles de Gaulle is not allowed to carry cheese in hand luggage. Products from Duty Free can also be taken with you. The main thing is that the store packaging remains undamaged (the seller must pack the goods in a special bag with a capacity of 2 liters). in addition, keep the receipt - it may be required when passing control.

Medicines

You can carry the following medications on board the aircraft: tablets; various drops; dressing materials; hydrogen peroxide.

It is better if the medicines are in undamaged original packaging, with instructions for use. Otherwise, when landing, customs officers may suspect that you are carrying prohibited substances under the guise of analgin.

If you have an injury, you can add crutches or other orthopedic aids to your hand luggage. According to the rules, the volume of liquid in hand luggage should not exceed 100 ml. Therefore, if the medicine is liquid or in the form of a spray, make sure that the volume does not exceed what is allowed. Syringes cannot be taken on board.

Digital technology

What technical devices you can take on board are determined by the security regulations of the country you are traveling to. Usually in hand luggage it is allowed to take: a laptop; tablet; mobile phone; Mp3 player; camera; electric razor and toothbrush; charging for devices; voluminous electrical appliances (for example, a hair dryer).

You can (and should) take headphones on board. If you are going to listen to music or watch a movie on a laptop, other passengers are unlikely to be happy to share this pleasure with you. Although it is not forbidden to take a mobile phone with you, you may not need it during the flight. Often, before takeoff, phones are asked to be turned off altogether, because they can interfere with the operation of the electronic systems of the aircraft.

If you are going to take bulky equipment with you, remember the rules. Usually, the length of things in hand luggage should be no more than 56 cm, height - 45 cm, width - 25 cm. The maximum weight varies between 3-15 kilograms. The exact figure depends on the airport.

Documents, valuables and jewelry

In addition, it is worth taking in hand luggage: expensive jewelry; documentation; valuables; Wallet with money.

It is better to take your passport and other important papers with you - it’s calmer, you won’t worry about their safety all the way. In addition, if your luggage is suddenly lost, you will not be left in a foreign country without documents.

Cosmetical tools

You can carry any dry cosmetics on board: shadows; ink; pencils for eyes and lips; blush; powder, etc.

Liquids, jelly-like substances in jars and bottles with a volume of more than 100 ml are strictly forbidden to be transported on board the aircraft in hand luggage. Pack them in a luggage suitcase, otherwise you risk being left without your expensive jars. With cans under pressure on the plane is also impossible. Therefore, you will have to get rid of shaving foam and deodorants.

Remember that usually the total volume of liquids should not exceed 1 liter. therefore, if you take water with you in addition to lotion and shampoo, and their total volume exceeds the allowable one, think about what will be more important for you on board.

Personal hygiene items

From personal hygiene items you can take in hand luggage:

a toothbrush and paste (although you need to clarify about the latter - at some airports it is forbidden to take pasta with you); wet wipes; Shaver; a comb without a sharp handle (sometimes it is forbidden to carry metal combs); nail polish remover without acetone with a volume of not more than 100 ml.

Cloth

You can take with you to the salon: jacket or sweater; coat; plaid; shawl.

In addition, you can carry a handbag, an umbrella and a walking stick.

Other

If you are traveling with children, in addition to hand luggage, you can take a portable cradle or stroller on board. It is not forbidden to take newspapers, magazines and other printed publications with you (without fanaticism, of course).

It is strictly forbidden to take with you in hand luggage: weapons, and everything that looks like it (if you have a fashion accessory in the form of a grenade or a pistol, they can take it away);
piercing and cutting objects (this includes everything, even something that you would not even think of using as a tool to hurt another person, for example, knitting needles); animals; gas cartridges; toxic substances.

A full list of prohibited items is often indicated directly on the ticket. If this list is not there, ask about this issue right at the airport.

Check the rules for dimensions, they differ for each airline. Low-cost airlines take this issue especially seriously. Low-cost airlines have a strict rule: one person - one piece of hand luggage. Therefore, everything will have to be folded into one bag or package. An exception is allowed only for folding baby carriages, crutches and outerwear.

Guide: baggage allowance and carry-on baggage of 10 popular airlines

Air carriers, in particular, low-cost airlines now and then tighten the requirements for hand luggage and luggage, forcing passengers to pay more. So that you do not get lost in the stream of constant updates of the rules, we have collected in one material the rules of ten popular airlines, the knowledge of which will allow you to save tens or even hundreds of euros.

Important nuances

1. Check the rules of all airlines you will be using during your trip and make sure that your hand luggage and luggage comply with the more restrictive rules.
2. Please note that you can buy tickets from and fly from. This happens when a code-sharing agreement is signed between companies. In this case, the rules of the airline whose code is indicated on the ticket apply. It is useless to prove at the airport that you did not know - you will have to pay for an excess or additional baggage.
3. Many airlines check the dimensions of hand luggage using special devices at the airport. Everything that does not fit in the frame will have to be checked in as luggage (especially zealous ones take into account even handles that look out half a centimeter). We recommend that you check your hand luggage in advance - at the check-in desk, luggage is cheaper than at the gate, it's even better to foresee this situation when buying tickets online.
4. Important! Low-cost airlines do not have flights with transfers. Each segment of the route is a separate flight, so every time you need to pick up your luggage and check it in again, therefore, you also need to pay extra for it on each segment.

Liquids in hand luggage. Is it possible or not?

In total, you are allowed to carry 1 liter of liquids in containers with a maximum of 100 milliliters each. The volume of the container matters: a two-liter bottle, in which two sips of juice are left, will not be missed. All liquids must be placed in a zippered transparent bag (such as a ziplock bag to freeze fruit or a cosmetic bag) and presented to security screening if asked.

Liquids include:

• roller deodorants;
• shaving foam, shampoo, shower gel;
• toothpaste;
• perfumes and toilet water;
• tonic, makeup remover, cream, mascara;
• alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks;
• medicines: eye, nasal and ear drops, oral solutions and tinctures, topical products, gels;
• some foodstuffs: soft cheese, yogurt, pate, jam, honey, etc.

• Travelers with children under two years of age. Food for the child (mashed potatoes, milk, juices, formula, etc.) can be in packages of any volume in the amount necessary for the duration of the flight.
• Those who need to take medication regularly. In this case, you can take with you drugs in packages that exceed 100 milliliters, but do not forget to grab a certificate from your doctor.

What about duty free shopping?

Perfume, eau de toilette, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from duty-free shops can be taken on board if they are packed with a receipt and sealed (do not try to drink whiskey down your throat on the plane).

Difficulties may arise if you are flying with a transfer. So, in the EU it is forbidden to import liquids in containers whose volume exceeds 100 milliliters if they are purchased outside the EU. That is, if you fly from Kharkov to Prague via Warsaw, at the transfer point, a bottle of wine from Ukrainian duty free is most likely to be confiscated. For those who travel within the EU, it is enough not to open the package and carry a receipt confirming that the purchase was made no more than a day ago. The last word in any case remains with the airport employee.

Can I carry food in hand luggage?

Yes, but if they are liquid, they will need to be packaged in 100 milliliters and packaged in accordance with the rules. Feel free to bring cookies, chocolate, apples, nuts or sandwiches with you on board, but make sure that your food does not emit pungent odors.

Can I take electronic devices on a plane?

Need to! You've seen how suitcases are handled at airports, right?

You are allowed to carry in hand luggage:

• laptops;
• Cell phones;
• tablets and e-books;
• e-Sigs;
• cameras;
• hair dryers, curling irons, hair straighteners;
• electric shavers;
• electric toothbrushes;
• power banks.

What is prohibited in hand luggage?

In short, everything that is potentially dangerous for passengers and crew members due to its toxicity or can be used to attack.

• liquids in containers with a volume of more than 100 milliliters (except those bought in duty free and properly packaged);
• aerosols (hairspray, deodorant, mosquito repellent, etc.);
• piercing and cutting objects: screwdrivers, drills, nails, corkscrew, sewing needles, blades, all kinds of knives, scissors, nail files, tweezers with sharp ends, knitting needles, etc. There are exceptions: sometimes it is allowed to carry a knife with a blade shorter than 6 centimeters or tweezers with rounded edges, if you have a certificate from a doctor, you can take injection syringes with you. But you need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario: if the thing is dear to you, put it in your luggage or leave it at home.
• firearms and any of its imitations (lighters, children's toys);
• adhesive tape, electrical tape;
• explosive and flammable substances: gunpowder, firecrackers, fireworks, lighter fluid, etc.;
• mercury thermometers (in some countries this restriction does not apply, but it is better to buy an electronic one and not worry);
• skates, ski and trekking poles;
• stun guns;
• caustic and toxic substances: acids, alkalis, poisons;
• bats, clubs, clubs, nunchucks, oars, skateboards, fishing rods;
• gas and petrol lighters.

Can animals be brought on board?

Each airline has its own rules, so it's best to ask them in advance. For example, UIA allows only dogs and cats weighing up to 8 kilograms to be transported in the cabin together with the container. Larger animals are transported in the luggage compartment. Service animals fly free of charge (for example, guide dogs), for other pets you will have to pay at a special rate. The owner must have a medical certificate, documents confirming vaccination and an export permit.

How to transport musical instruments and sports equipment?

Sports equipment is usually transported in checked baggage or as oversized cargo, at a special rate (if we are talking about skis or snowboards, for example). Even a skateboard or tennis rackets will not be allowed on board, as theoretically they can be used as weapons.

Small musical instruments that do not exceed the allowable dimensions of hand luggage (flute, violin), some airlines allow you to take with you into the cabin. Everything else will have to be checked in.

How to properly pack hand luggage and what to do in case of overweight?

• Put things that you will most likely have to get at security control (a laptop and other powerful equipment, a bag of liquids) on top, so that you can quickly remove them later. Neighbors in turn and airport staff will thank you.
• Liquids must be packaged in containers with a maximum of 100 milliliters, remember? If what you want to take with you is not sold in mini-packages, pour over - the bubbles do not have to be “native”.
• If you are taking medicines with you, it is better that they are in their original packaging with instructions inside. If you have sleeping pills, strong painkillers, psychotropic and injectable drugs, do not forget to take a prescription from your doctor with you.
• Put everything of value in your hand luggage: documents, money, jewelry, equipment. And don't forget to keep an eye on your backpack at the airport, of course.
• You should always take with you a power bank, warm clothes, medicines that you constantly take and a light snack in case of a flight delay.
• Make sure you don't accidentally put anything on the prohibited items list. The author of these lines, for example, somehow threw scotch tape into her backpack, and then blushed and justified herself in front of the vigilant employees of the Kutaisi airport.
• If you are flying with a low-cost airline, do not stuff your backpack to the limit. Leaving an empty space inside, you can tamp it down a bit and fit it into a frame with which to check the dimensions.
• Weigh the assembled backpack or suitcase at home and make sure it passes the airline's regulations. If the excess was found already at the airport, you can put on something from the clothes packed in your hand luggage, put heavy small items in your pockets or pick up a camera, e-book, etc., if the carrier allows it.
