Flight: the rights and obligations of which you were not even aware

That we can take into the cabin without surcharges and weight measurements that will, if you use the phone on board, and how to drink, not to have removed from the plane: talk about your rights and responsibilities.

That we can take, if everything is forbidden

Many loukostery hang price tags on any luggage, limiting the weight even hand luggage. but law permits to carry with you to the salon a number of things that are not necessary neither to weigh or to issue or label tags:

• phone, camera, video camera or a laptop computer;
• a handbag or briefcase;
• folder for papers or publications for reading during the flight;
• umbrella, walking stick, or a bouquet of flowers;
• outdoor clothing or costume in a cover;
• baby food and cradle when flying with a child;
• crutches, folding wheelchair, if they can be safely disposed of in the cabin of the aircraft.

All this allowed to carry out depending on how the rest of the luggage is heavy. These things have to sweep the passenger separately, not nested in a suitcase. But the demand for their transportation fee has no right to even the most miserly carrier.

What happens if you use your phone in flight

When the handsfree announced the prohibition to use the electronics on board, many a lazy switch the smartphone on airplane mode. And someone did, and shrugs, continuing to play gonochki on the tablet. What is so wrong with these electronic devices and whether the aircraft crash if some forgetful passenger during landing comes SMS?

In fact, even the Federal Communications Commission of the USA for a long time He speaksThat operating a mobile communication device if they can generate any noise, only the surface facilities. To work on board the aircraft calls do not affect vessel. However, do not hurry to rejoice too soon. according to orders Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, be sure to regularly Paging banning use of on-board electronic games, cameras, phones and other electronic equipment. And for a direct violation of orders of the commander can get Administrative penalty (2 000-5 000 rubles) or arrest (up to 15 days).

They will feed on board

Have you ever had so that you experience before the flight, whether on board or lunch should take a snack with you (do not buy the same sky-expensive snacks at the airport)? Not to worry about such details in the future, remember the simple rules.

• If the flight lasts less than three hours, no one to feed you is not obliged to. It will be exclusively an initiative of the air carrier.
• During longer flights you will feed three hours after takeoff, and then will be fed every four hours during the day and every six hours at night.
• Unfortunately, the carrier to do so is not obliged toIf you were in advance (before the ticket purchase) warned about the absence of such services.

What if the flight is put off

Of course, you can already begin to get at the airport overnight. But this may not be useful if clearly understand what you You have the right in the case of aircraft delay. your wait time begin to run from the time of departure flight specified on the ticket.

When the duration of any delay:

• provide the opportunity to make two phone calls or send many messages by e-mail;
• provide refreshments.

If flight lay on the period of time of more than eight hours during the day or for more than six hours a night, you are guaranteed accommodation in a hotel (with delivery to it and vice versa). All this you must provide without charging any additional fees.

How much alcohol can be carried by air

The luggage that you rent at the front desk, one person you can bring to 5 liters of strong (24-70%) alcohol and an unlimited number of light alcoholic beverage (24%).

• You may be terminate the contract air carriage unilaterally (of course, without any compensation), if you violate the rules of conduct on board, creating a threat to flight safety or the life and health of other persons.
• For you can apply coercive measures and land at the nearest airport (having made an unscheduled landing), if you are, once again, create a direct threat to the flight. In this case, on your shoulders lay down the obligation to compensate the incurred losses and the remaining carrier passengers.
• But if by degrees begin to behave poorly, and you can answer the article: for hooliganism (small or "normal"), or even hijacking.

Though actually in plain text on the board one drink does not prohibit. The main thing - do not abuse it.

How not to get an invitation to a personal search

Have you ever thought about why someone pre-flight check quickly and without question, and someone "scan" very carefully and sometimes withdrawn into a separate room? Everything is very simple.

Special rules of preflight inspections and poslepolotnogo set some simple recommendations: Pay attention to the nervous, worried and fussy passengers. That such a man invites to pass personal psychological survey to "determine the extent of its potential danger."
