For security reasons, all passenger baggage, including cabin baggage, must be presented at check-in.
Passenger baggage that the airline agrees to transport while accepting responsibility for its safety is marked with a baggage tag and transported in the hold, and is called checked baggage.
Please note:
All flights operated by Aeroflot use a piece concept system (based on the number of checked baggage pieces to be transported). This system distinguishes between different classes of service and/or applicable fares and destinations.

The weight and number of checked-in baggage pieces cannot exceed the total norm for all the passengers travelling together. The weight of the baggage piece must not exceed 32 kg, and the sum of its 3 dimensions must not exceed 203 cm. Heavy (over 32 kg) and/or oversized (over 203 cm in the sum of 3 dimensions) baggage is paid for according to the appropriate fare.
