Clarification to Air Passengers

In connection with the increased frequency of violations of consumer rights by airlines, the Abakan Transport Prosecutor's Office explains the following:

The passenger has the right to carry cabin luggage on board the aircraft in the absence of items prohibited from carriage and subject to observing dimensions established by the airline.

Above the free baggage allowance established by the rules of the airlines (including cabin luggage and checked-in baggage), the passenger has the right to carry the items specified in paragraph 135 of FAP-82 in the aircraft cabin free of charge (handbag or briefcase; folder for papers; umbrella; walking stick; flower bouquet; outerwear; prints for reading in flight; baby food for a child during the flight; cell phone; camera; video camera; laptop; suit in a garment bag; cradle when transporting a child; crutches, folding wheelchair with dimensions that allow it to be safely placed in the aircraft cabin on a shelf above the passenger seat or under the seat in front of the passenger seat).

The carrier is obliged to take all possible measures on joint accommodation on board the aircraft of an adult passenger (or a passenger who acquired full legal capacity according to the civil legislation of the Russian Federation) and a child under the age of 12 travelling with him/her.

By Federal Law No. 228-FZ dated July 29, 2017, from September 29, 2017, amendments were made to Art. 103 of the Air Code in terms of establishing the possibility of excluding from the air carriage contract the condition on the presence of a passenger baggage allowance without charging an additional fee. At the same time, the application of such a fare by the airline will allow the passenger to carry cabin luggage free of charge.

It is important to understand that checked-in baggage is not cabin luggage; it is a new term that is also being introduced by this federal law. Even if the passenger chooses a “no baggage” ticket, the right to carry cabin luggage remains with him.

In case of violation of consumer rights, please contact the Abakan Transport Prosecutor's Office by phone: +7 (3902) 222-307, +7 (3902) 294-278, or by e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (address: Vokzalnaya Street, 9, Abakan).
