Before the trip, everyone packs a suitcase, and prefers to take something to the salon, which can come in handy. If it is predicted that the place of rest is raining, then you need an umbrella.

What is allowed to take to the cabin?

In addition to hand luggage, everyone may need other things in the cabin, but what can I take into the cabin?

According to the Rules, they are allowed to take with them:

  • cash money;
  • bank cards;
  • important documents;
  • gadgets
  • fragile objects (small sizes);
  • precious items.

The entire list of permitted things as hand luggage is best known in advance at the airline or on its website.

Can I take an umbrella in my hand luggage?

Going on vacation on the coast of the sea or ocean, rains are possible. Therefore, you need to grab an umbrella. I always want to take him to the salon, but can I call him hand 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. He will also be allowed to take with him. If they are compact and in covers, everyone can take them to the salon without problems.

Cane umbrella or beach

Another type of umbrella - in the form of a cane can bring many problems, even the beach option is prohibited. This is explained simply, because cane umbrellas are several times longer than compact folding ones . They have sharp ends that can cling and interfere with other passengers in flight.

Therefore, you should read the Rules on the website of the airline that apply to hand luggage or get advice from a manager. This is a very important point that can cause trouble before flying.

Advice! A good alternative to an umbrella is a raincoat. This cloak will not only be an excellent protection against rain, but also takes up a minimum of space. This means you will be quietly allowed into the cabin.

Several souvenir umbrellas as a gift

Often, as souvenirs, tourists from Moscow or St. Petersburg carry 3-4 umbrellas by plane. 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 in with the standards (weight and necessary dimensions), then it can be considered hand luggage.

If they exceed the norm - you have to put in the luggage compartment.

Aeroflot Hand Luggage Rules

Modern Rules have increased the dimensions that can be considered hand luggage - this is 25 x 40 x 55 centimeters.

Important! For hand luggage: a laptop, photo equipment, books or an umbrella will have to pay extra!
