Aeroflot

Allowed dimensions: 55x40x20 cm · Maximum weight: 10 kg

The context in a few words

In the broader airline landscape, Aeroflot plays the reference-carrier role: a wide fleet, alliance memberships, and a carry-on policy built around passengers who travel between continents.

55x40x20 cm, 10 kg is above the market average. Worth noting if you travel with a 40-50 L backpack or an extended cabin case.

One useful benchmark: on Aeroflot, cabin baggage typically fits the overhead bin of an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737, the most common types on their network. The 55x40x20 cm format at 10 kg matches standard bin dimensions, no more. Even seemingly compatible extended cases are best avoided.

Gate staff are typically less zealous than on low-costs, but the published grid still applies. Travelling planning ahead saves a place in the gate-check queue — "free" hold luggage that costs time on arrival.

Aeroflot doesn't communicate clearly on the additional personal item. Counter experience favours a small handbag; beyond that, check with the agent or consolidate in the main suitcase to avoid boarding refusal.

Business class gets extended weight and dimensions — 15kg on the most generous tier. Not to be confused with a courtesy upgrade: it's a contractual allowance.
