A cherished ticket to the destination of your dreams is a wish come true for any tourist and traveler. But on the ticket, which is a small piece of thick paper (or data in in electronic format), it is difficult for companies to fit all the voluminous information on each flight. So you have to create certain generally accepted abbreviations, which the staff can easily understand. And it is sometimes difficult for passengers to recognize the nuances and rules understandable to specialists in sets of numbers and letters.

Let's try to understand, if not absolutely all the designations, then at least those that relate to checked baggage.

The airlines of the world cannot afford the luxury of agreeing on a unified baggage identification system. But they are very keen on it. For example, more and more airlines are switching to a piece baggage system (piece concept) instead of weight (weight concept).

But in order to understand where exactly on the ticket you can see the coveted code, first find the inscription "baggage allowance" or simply "bag" (in the Russian version it can be "BAG" or "Baggage"). In fact, this translates as "free baggage allowance." And already opposite the phrase (letter combination) define your parameter. The most common types you may encounter are:

The 1 pc baggage allowance on the ticket means that the passenger is entitled to one piece of checked baggage (1Piece Plan). 2 rs - respectively two pieces of luggage. And 0 rs means a passenger without luggage - such a passenger can take only hand luggage with him on an aircraft free of charge, and a large suitcase - for an additional fee.

This system has changed due to the elimination of problems with weight confusion.

The airline on the website announces its rules applicable to one piece of baggage - the maximum weight and maximum dimensions.

Each company has its own. Most often, the maximum weight varies around 20 kg in economy class and 30 kg in business class. And dimensions - up to 203 cm in the sum of three dimensions (height, width and depth of a suitcase, backpack or bag). These figures, although the most common, are not the same for everyone. Before flying, be sure to find out the exact ones specifically for your air carrier.

Depending on the airline, the designation of 1 piece of checked baggage may vary. For example: 0p, 1p or 2p. The principle is the same as described above. That is, baggage of 1 r means that the ticket price includes one suitcase of acceptable dimensions and dimensions per passenger. Most often, this is the norm for Economy and Comfort classes. Different Latin letters can stand next to the number, for example, N. In this case, baggage 1n means the same as 1p and 1pc.

By the way, the baggage-free fare on the ticket can be marked as “nil». These letters, like the previous examples, the traveler will see in the baggage allowance column. In this option, a small carry-on suitcase and a handbag or a small backpack are available to the passenger at most (check the carry-on baggage allowances in the official information from the air carrier, because they can oh so vary).

Do Russian airlines have their own baggage options?

On tickets of domestic airlines, a piece system of free baggage allowance may be indicated by the symbols "1km". But the kilometers have nothing to do with it. The baggage allowance of 1 km in the ticket means all the same one checked baggage piece per passenger. And “km” actually stands for the number of places, and not the number of kilometers to the target, as one might think. But BelAvia defines one piece of baggage in the ticket as "01p". Because of such differences, if a passenger is used to flying with one air carrier, confusion and misunderstandings arise among passengers.

It is easier and cheaper to check in your baggage directly at the time of buying an air ticket for the selected flight.

First of all, this applies to low-cost airlines. The cost of checking in a suitcase at the airport may differ significantly from the price on the website of the air carrier. Carefully study the baggage section, and you have every chance to significantly save on your vacation or business trip. Pleasant flight!

What do baggage allowances 0pc, 1pc, 1n, 1km mean on a ticket? updated: May 20, 2019 by: bagazh

A flight to another city or country is characterized by the presence of passengers' luggage. After all, usually such voyages involve a trip of several days. Of course, airlines have special rules for carrying things on an airplane. Since the carrier Aeroflot is considered the leading airline in Russia, we will find out what standards this airline has set.

Not so long ago, the Aeroflot group adopted new rules for passengers - a baggage allowance of 1pc has been introduced. What does this mean? Passengers who have been flying for a long time are used to the fact that the things checked in the luggage compartment are controlled by the carriers by the weight of the luggage. However, Aeroflot changed the existing procedure and introduced standards for the free transportation of oversized bags for each seat occupied on board.

Considering that passengers take some things on board with them, and the rest of the luggage travels in a special compartment of the liner, several systems for cargo transportation are known. If the weight limit is set, the ticket contains the abbreviation "K". Flights on which the transportation of things takes place by the piece, the ticket is marked with the symbols “P”, “PC” or “N”. Moreover, before the letter designation, the carrier indicates a number that indicates the number of pieces of luggage allowed for such transportation.

The abbreviation "rs" itself is taken from the English transcription of the phrase "Piece Concept". This system is widespread in the European part of the world and has been gradually adopted by many Russian companies.

In Russia, one of the first carriers to use such a control system was Aeroflot. The baggage allowance of 1pc actually means that the passenger has the right to take one free place for things in the luggage compartment. Accordingly, marking 0 pc implies the absence of the possibility of free transportation of things. In addition, in addition to these rules, carriers put forward special requirements, which provide for the size and weight of the passenger's belongings.

Terms of free transportation

Let's discuss the rules by which a passenger can successfully carry his suitcase to the desired point on the planet. After all, the compliance of luggage with the established rules of airlines guarantees the absence of misunderstandings when passing control at the airport. Each carrier sets its own regulations, but most companies use international and time-tested restrictions. Typically, these figures vary depending on the class of flight.

The most stringent requirements are traditionally applied to passengers who have chosen economy class. Here, customers carry things on board, the sum of the dimensions of which does not exceed 1,150 mm, and the weight is ten kilograms. As for things that do not fall under these parameters, the rules governing the carriage of baggage come into effect here. Aeroflot offers airline customers the opportunity to transport a bag whose total dimensions are up to 1,580 mm and weighs up to 23 kg.

Passengers flying in the cabin with increased comfort or first class are allowed to carry a bag weighing up to 15 kilograms with them on the liner. And the weight of the suitcase, which will be sent to the luggage compartment, is increased to 32 kg. As for the dimensions of luggage and baggage, the same indicators apply here with customers flying in economy class.

If you stopped on a flight offered by the Pobeda company, which is part of the Aeroflot holding, keep in mind that the standards are lower here. Since these airlines are a low-cost airline, accordingly, saving on everything, including the transportation of luggage, becomes a priority for the carrier. Moreover, there are no free places for things in the cabin at all - you will have to travel with the only item that the client chooses from the list of personal belongings. And in the luggage compartment, you will be able to carry a bag for free, whose dimensions are up to 1,580 mm on the sum of the sides with a weight of less than 10 kg. Purchases made in duty-free shops will have to be paid separately at the rate of: package - 700 rubles per domestic flights or 10 euros for international flights.

Determine the number of luggage places

When purchasing an air ticket marked “1 rs” from Aeroflot, people are interested in the number of luggage that can be transported. As we said, the norm provides for one free seat in the luggage compartment, but does not exclude additional payment for "extra" things if a ticket to an economy cabin is purchased. Although there are some nuances here.

Air tickets that involve paying for seats of economy prestige or economy comfort class give the passenger the opportunity to take two free seats cargo compartment. But here it is important to meet the weight requirements - each bag is not heavier than 23 kilograms. In addition, Aeroflot offers customers who follow long-distance routes to take 2 control pieces of baggage. A second seat is available to economy class passengers who present a silver or golden card companies.

Finally, the total weight of things up to 10 kilograms does not limit the airline customer in the number of places occupied by luggage. However, in such a situation, additional space for luggage is unlikely to be required.

Business class passengers have the right to take two free zones in the cargo compartment of the liner. The weight of the bag is up to 32 kg. Please note that the indicated figure is an international standard. In some countries of the world, loaders are prohibited from unloading baggage that exceeds this value.

A little about hand luggage

In a situation when it comes to things “to take with you to the liner”, the airline gives passengers the opportunity to take only one seat, regardless of the amount of the ticket and the class of service. The difference here is only in the mass of luggage and its dimensions. Traveling in business class involves a bag that weighs up to 15 kg. Traveling in an economy cabin allows the transportation of things weighing no more than ten kilograms.

However, airlines operate in the spirit of global trends and allow additional items to be brought into the cabin. For the transportation of women's handbags, men's diplomats, umbrellas, one laptop or camera per passenger, an umbrella, outerwear or a package of duty free there are no restrictions. This list is complemented by special equipment for sedentary people or things that are designed to care for a baby. True, the items are supposed to be presented at the control and receive a company tag. In addition, only a single position can be selected.

Bonuses for "underdrawing"

In exceptional cases, situations are likely when a person flies without things. Here, passengers have a question whether it will be possible to save in this way on the price of an air ticket. Unfortunately, Aeroflot does not yet provide such an opportunity. The company's policy is simple - the cost of a cheap ticket involves certain standards of luggage, which can be carried for free. And if the client does not use the opportunity to the full extent, this fact does not mean the carrier's obligation to compensate for the lack of things.

Therefore, when planning to fly with this airline, visit the official airline portal and check current rules. Here you will find a description of seat markings, a list of additional items for hand luggage and other points that are appropriate to consider before flying. This link will take you to such information.

Too much luggage

Now consider the reverse situation, when the size and quantity of things that the client of the company plans to take on a trip exceed the existing requirements. Moreover, the employees of the company evaluate all three parameters: dimensions, weight and number of seats occupied. The passenger has the right to independently evaluate the payment method and choose the preferred option.

Exceeding the established norm involves an additional charge for excess baggage

If the number of seats is exceeded, the client adds 2,500 rubles for an additional zone in the compartment for a domestic flight or 50 euros / $ when it should be international flight. Third and following places increase the amount to 7,500 rubles. within the country and 150 units of freely convertible currency in international directions. Payment for an extra mass of things implies the same amount for a domestic flight for a weight of 25 to 50 kg, and for exceeding this bar it will amount to 5,000 rubles. But on interstate flights you will have to pay 100 euros and 150 euros, respectively.

When, when traveling in Russia, the sum of the measured sides of a suitcase is up to 2 meters and 3 centimeters, the passenger pays 5,000 rubles, and exceeding this parameter will result in a loss of 7,500 rubles. Similar figures for flights abroad involve an additional payment of 100 and 150 euros.

As you can see, the assessment of things based on the criteria of the occupied place is the preferred option for the passenger.. Here, additional costs are minimal, especially if the carrier's norm is slightly exceeded. Therefore, it is advisable to pack two different bags even at home if you are going to transport items in such a quantity that will cause extra costs.

Children's tariff

Flying with children raises many questions for first-time passengers. Here Aeroflot offers the following conditions. For a child over 12 years of age, parents will be required to pay the full price for a seat. Accordingly, the standards for baggage and hand luggage are calculated as standard here.

Children traveling with their parents are subject to special rates and baggage allowances.

As for babies under two years old, airlines offer parents to save money and fly with a child in their arms. True, some flights will require an additional payment of 10% of the ticket. Moreover, for one child of this age, it is permissible to carry a bag weighing up to 10 kilograms at no additional charge.

Specific cargo

When it comes to transporting things that do not fit into the standard framework, you should clarify the conditions of transportation with a company employee. It is optimal to notify the carrier 36 hours before departure and agree on the details. There are usually no problems with the transportation of sports equipment, musical instruments, fishing equipment. True, the items will need to be packed and presented at the control.

The carriage of pets is subject to the rules on special conditions baggage allowance

It will be possible to take a pet weighing up to 8 kg on board the liner. The animal travels in a special container, and the owner will need to present the necessary pet documents. The only exception to this rule is a guide dog. The animal accompanies the owner, provided that the person cannot do without it. Pets weighing 8-32 kg travel in the luggage compartment.

Keep in mind that oversized items are often not taken on board for technical reasons. Therefore, try to comply with the requirements of the company in order to minimize personal expenses and not face an unpleasant situation during check-in.

If on your Aeroflot ticket in the "baggage" column there is a note "1rs", this means the possibility of transporting one piece in the luggage compartment at no additional charge
The most stringent rules apply to economy class passengers
Maximum allowable weight bag that takes up space in the luggage compartment - 32 kg (business class)
For hand luggage in the economy class of liners, standards for weight and dimensions are established - it will be possible to carry items with a total weight of up to 10 kg and a total size of up to 115 cm into the cabin
If the passenger does not have luggage, there are no benefits and discounts on the cost of the flight.

Aeroflot Group is the first among Russian airlines to announce that it is applying the new 1pc baggage allowance. What does this mean and how will flights change for ordinary citizens? First of all, we note that the practice of RS or the Piece Concept is by no means a Russian invention. It is widely used by aviation companies in the world.

In contact with

What does 1pc baggage allowance mean?

In flight practice, various methods are used to evaluate the baggage that people carry with them. For example, you can set baggage rationing by weight. In air tickets, such rationing is indicated by the letter K. Another type of accounting - piece by piece. It is he who is designated by the letters R or RS. And the figure in front of this reduction means the number of things allowed for transportation. Thus, the norm means that you can carry one suitcase or bag for free.

Piece counting does not negate weight and dimensions

Introducing new norms Aeroflot(as well as other companies that follow the same strategy) have not abandoned the previously existing restrictions on size and weight. Thus, three standards are in force today:

• by the number of bags;
• by weight;
• by dimensions.

If you violate any of them, you will have to pay extra. The amount can be very significant, so knowing the standards is very desirable.

Baggage and hand luggage allowances

Aeroflot has the following regulations. Flying in Economy and Comfort classes, you can carry in the cabin a bag that weighs no more than 10 kilograms and does not exceed 115 cm according to the results of adding up the length, height and width. This category will include, for example, a bag 40 cm high, 50 cm long and 25 cm deep. For business class, the dimensions and number of free baggage allowances correspond to other categories, but the weight is not 10, but 15 kilograms.

As for baggage, the holder of an economy class ticket can carry one piece in the baggage compartment free of charge (according to the classification - 1pc), weighing no more than 23 kg, and with a total size of no more than 158.

For Economy class with Premium fares and Comfort class, there is a 2pc scheme - two free baggage pieces. Each of them meets the standards for weight - 23 kg and dimensions - 158 cm.

For business class, the 2pc option is retained, however, with the same dimensions, the maximum weight of one suitcase can be 32 kg. In total, a representative of this class can carry 64 kg of cargo for free.

Let's summarize:

Surcharge for excess

Because there are three rules, each of them can be violated. For example, a person is entitled to one free placement of luggage, and he has two. Or the weight is not 23, but 25 kg. Or the dimensions are not 158, but 185 cm. For each of these violations, you will have to pay an additional more or less significant amount. Let's figure out how much you have to pay for what.

Suppose a person has two luggage suitcases, of which he can carry only one for free. In this case, you will have to pay 2,500 rubles for "extra" baggage. What if there are three suitcases? Four? Five? For each additional place, except for the first one, you will have to pay 7,500 rubles.

But what if a person flies in Comfort class, he is entitled to two free baggage pieces, and he has three suitcases? In this case, even the first excess suitcase (as well as all subsequent ones) will also cost 7,500 rubles.

Now consider the situation of excess weight. If the weight of the suitcase is more than 23 kg, but less than 32, the surcharge will be 2500 rubles. If the weight is from 32 to 50 kg, you will have to pay 5,000 rubles.

If the sum of all dimensions of the luggage exceeds 158 cm, but does not reach 203 cm, the surcharge will be 5,000 rubles, if 203 cm is exceeded - 7,500 rubles.

Tariffs in other companies of the Aeroflot group

The Aeroflot group includes several companies, in particular, the Pobeda low-cost airline, whose tariff policy is very different from other companies in the group. This is explained by the specifics of the company's activities.

The low-cost airline should offer customers maximum cheap flights. But in order to reduce ticket prices, a number of free services had to be abandoned and transferred to the category of paid ones.

In particular, Pobeda today essentially has no free baggage at all. But the possibilities of transportation of paid goods have been significantly expanded.

A client of Pobeda can carry hand luggage weighing up to 5 kg, no more than 36x30x27 cm in size, which is only 93 cm in total. Everything else is only for a fee. However, the amount of surcharges looks quite forgiving, and, importantly, a person has much more choice than in other airlines.

For example, you can pay for and check in baggage weighing 10 and 20 kg. In the first case, you need to pay 499 rubles, in the second - 1499. Moreover, the amount does not depend on the distance of the flight in Russia. It does not matter which city you are flying to - Surgut or Ulan-Ude - luggage costs the same. But there is another alternative - for 1499 rubles you can check out not 20 kg of luggage, but 10 kg of hand luggage. It would seem that this is not a very profitable alternative - after all, at the same price, it turns out to be two times less in weight, and with the same weight, it is three times higher in price.

But there are certain amenities that are worth the money. First of all, it is an opportunity not to wait for baggage claim. The second convenience is not so obvious: a person, getting used to the fact that everything that he is carrying has a cost, wean himself from putting unnecessary things in his luggage. And the one who used to fly with several suitcases suddenly discovers that a bag containing 10 kilograms of useful stuffing is more than enough.

Summary

Experts evaluating the introduction of the 1pc system in Russia express opposite opinions.

Some believe that such a system is convenient for people, others that it creates additional difficulties for them. A special issue is bonuses if a person flies without luggage. After all, if an airline takes money for excess baggage, then, theoretically, it should stimulate those who fly light.

However Russian airlines are not yet ready for such a formulation of the question.
