Before a trip, everyone packs a suitcase with things, and prefers to take some things into the cabin that may come in handy. If it is forecast to rain at your holiday destination, you need an umbrella. Let's figure out what can be carried in the cabin and what is prohibited. In particular, many are interested in an umbrella, because it rains often in the summer, and even more so in cool weather.
What are you allowed to take on board the plane?
In addition to carry-on luggage, everyone may need other things in the cabin, but what can you take on board an airplane?
According to the Rules, you are allowed to take with you:
- money in cash;
- bank cards;
- important documents;
- gadgets;
- fragile objects (small sizes);
- precious items.
It is better to find out the entire list of permitted items as hand luggage in advance from the airline or on its website.
Important! The list of baggage and other services may vary from airline to airline.
Large items will have to be checked into the luggage compartment.Exceptions are manicure sets (sharp objects), deodorants, varnishes - all of them should be checked in as baggage, except for a small manicure file.
Is it possible to take an umbrella in hand luggage on an airplane?
When going on vacation to the sea or ocean coast, it may rain. Therefore, you need to take an umbrella. I always want to take it into the cabin, but can it be called carry-on luggage? It is possible, but not everyone.
Small folding umbrella
You can put a small folding umbrella in your handbag; it is called a “travel” umbrella.
A medium-sized folding umbrella will also not cause concern. You will also be allowed to take it with you. If they are compact and in cases, everyone can take them to the salon without any problems.
Cane or beach umbrella
Another type of umbrella - in the form of a cane - can bring a lot of problems, even the beach version is prohibited. This is explained simply, because cane umbrellas are several times longer than compact folding umbrellas. They have sharp ends that can snag and interfere to surrounding passengers during the flight.
Therefore, you should read the Rules regarding hand luggage on the airline’s website or get advice from a manager. This very important point can cause trouble before the flight.
Advice! A good alternative to an umbrella is a raincoat. This raincoat will not only provide excellent protection from rain, but also take up minimal space. This means that you will be safely allowed into the aircraft cabin.
Several souvenir umbrellas as a gift
Tourists from Moscow or St. Petersburg often bring 3-4 umbrellas by plane as souvenirs. The question immediately arises about the possibility of taking all 3 umbrellas to the salon.
From a consultation with one of the Russian airlines, it can be argued that if 3 umbrellas fit into the standards (weight and required dimensions), then they can be considered hand luggage.
If they exceed the norm, they will have to be put in the luggage compartment.
Aeroflot rules for hand luggage
Modern Rules have increased the dimensions that can be considered hand luggage - this is 25 x 40 x 55 centimeters.
Important! You will have to pay extra for hand luggage: laptop, photographic equipment, books or umbrella!
If there is a slight excess, you are allowed to put something in your pockets or pick it up if the carrier allows this.
The main thing is that all passengers on any airline are always checked for the volume, total weight and number of items that a person wants to take into the aircraft cabin. Find out all the nuances in advance, and we won’t have any problems.
