We are all going on vacation with suitcases or bags, and for some, the weight of the luggage can be very decent. There are certain rules that allow you to take luggage of a certain weight with you.

Each airline has its own baggage allowance. Moreover, these norms usually differ depending on the class of service: most of all you can carry in business class, and least of all in economy. The amount of space also applies to baggage allowance and also depends on the class. In some companies, only the weight is limited, in others - only the number of seats, and in others - both the weight and the number of seats.

Traditionally, the baggage allowance for economy class is usually limited 1 seat and weight from 20 kg to 23 kg for each passenger.

It is important to know that the excess is paid for each suitcase, and not for the total weight. Therefore, if a married couple is flying with two suitcases weighing 25 and 10 kg each, and the limit is 20 kg, then you will have to pay for an excess of 5 kg.

When flying to America, the number of pieces of luggage is usually limited and this is displayed with signs 1pc or 2pc. For more information on what 1rs is, see below.

In addition to weight, there is a restriction on the dimensions of luggage. That is, the suitcase should weigh no more than and be no more than. Usually, the rule of three dimensions is used to measure dimensions.

Let's take a closer look at the baggage allowance for different airlines. The table below shows the current weight and seat restrictions for 2015 for the two most popular airlines in Russia.

Baggage size limit for Aeroflot per piece: no more than 158 cm in the sum of three dimensions

1pc baggage allowance what is it?

Some airlines use the so-called piece system, when it is allowed to carry a certain number of pieces of baggage. Usually the piece system is used in America. If the specified system is used, then the allowances are indicated as 1pc or 2pc, which means:

1PC (1 Piece Plan) - one piece of luggage

2PC (2 Piece Plan) - two pieces of luggage

Therefore, if your ticket says that the baggage allowance is 1pc, then this means that each passenger is supposed to carry one piece of baggage. Usually the ticket also indicates the baggage allowance in kilograms. But if your ticket does not contain such information, this does not mean that you can carry any weight, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of the company.

Each airline has its own baggage allowance. Most airlines offer as a free baggage allowance one place with a weight not exceeding 23 kg and with dimensions of about 150 cm in the sum of three dimensions. Read more about on a separate page.

Piece Concept (pc) standards are widely used in European countries, in Russia, the system was first used in Aeroflot. In accordance with the new standards, the airline determines the number free places which the passenger is entitled to carry. Each piece of baggage occupies a cell in a special baggage compartment of the liner. It is worth noting that the rules, standards and restrictions in different companies may differ, all the nuances should be clarified in advance.
