Recent Traveller Feedback
Booked the cheapest Economy Basic fare from Moscow to Saint Petersburg and did not realise it comes with zero free checked baggage. I had to pay 3500 rubles at the airport for my 20 kg suitcase. Next time I will pay a little extra for the Standard fare or pack everything into the 10 kg cabin bag and my 5 kg personal item.
3500 RUB
Flew S7 Business class from Novosibirsk to Sochi and really liked the 15 kg hand luggage limit. I travel with a lot of camera gear and a laptop so the extra 5 kg compared to economy makes a big difference. The bag still has to fit the 55 x 40 x 23 cm sizer but the weight limit is the most generous among Russian airlines.
I was worried my large duffel bag would be too big for S7 but their checked luggage limit is 203 cm by sum of three dimensions instead of the usual 158 cm. That is a lot more room and my oversized sports bag fit comfortably within the limit at 23 kg. Great for people travelling with bulky equipment or soft-sided luggage.

What is the maximum size for a checked suitcase on S7 Airlines?
Every checked bag on S7 Airlines must stay within 203 cm when you add length, width and height together.
