Going on a trip or a business meeting, an increasing number of people prefer air transport. Despite the rather high cost of tickets, this type of transport is very fast and comfortable. In addition, in some points of the planet in another way you will not be able to reach.
Each passenger tries to take with himself everything he needs. Sometimes suitcases with things get menacing. Of course, in the hands you will not hold them, for this there is a special luggage compartment, but after all, you need to grab something in the cabin of the aircraft. These things are called hand luggage.
Rates of hand luggage
It is logical that the dimensions (weight and dimensions) of hand luggage in an airplane are limited to certain norms. Often the rules of transportation and the permissible sizes of hand luggage in all countries and in all air carriers are the same. However, it is worth to learn about the nuances in advance, so that the airport will not lose, for example, a bottle of your favorite perfume. Sometimes a list of items that are forbidden to carry in hand luggage is indicated in the ticket itself. If this information is not available, then near the registration desk you will necessarily see a stand where the permitted size of hand luggage is clearly described, as well as items that can not be transported on the plane.
As a rule, the maximum size of hand luggage should not exceed 126 centimeters (the sum of three parameters - length, height and width). If you specify, the dimensions are as follows: 56x45x25 centimeters. Some airlines require compliance with the parameters 55h40h20 centimeters. The weight of hand luggage is also demanded: it should not exceed 3-15 kilograms (depends on the carrier). The most stringent approach to the dimensions of hand luggage is shown by the airlines, which are related to the budget class, which is not surprising.
Passengers who purchased tickets to a business class salon sometimes have privileges with respect to the size of a suitcase for hand luggage. If, for example, in the economy class, the maximum weight of the luggage is 5 kilograms, then in the business class - 7 kilograms.
Prohibited items in the aircraft
A sensible passenger does not even think of carrying dangerous items with him in the cabin. This applies to weapons, piercing-cutting objects, drugs and so on. Security personnel at the airport always inspect bags (hand luggage) in the presence of their owners. You may be refused carriage of hand luggage in the event that the items contained in it are dangerous to others, their property or the aircraft itself. Refusal will follow and in the absence of proper packing of luggage. Most airlines do not allow transportation in hand luggage liquids. To such baggage requirements are special and depend on the airline policy. As for technical devices, it is allowed to transport, for example, a laptop, a player, a hair dryer and a mobile phone. However, such devices should not interfere with the electronic system of the aircraft, so you may be asked not to use them during the flight.
