For example, Aeroflot's new baggage allowance has been in effect since August 01, 2011. Baggage allowance for free transportation: 1 piece and maximum weight - 23 kg. And here are the general rules: The free baggage allowance is determined by the direction of departure and the class of service of the flight. There are two systems of baggage allowance in the world: the weight system and the number of pieces system.
The weight system determines the norms for the weight of baggage allowed for free carriage by a passenger. The weight of free baggage allowance is regulated by the carrier depending on the type of aircraft, specific route and passenger service class (but not less than 10 kg). In most cases, when flying to Russia, Europe, Asia, Australia, the free baggage allowance for first class passengers is 40 kg, business class 30 kg, economy class 20 kg. At the same time, its dimensions in the sum of three dimensions (length, width, height) should be no more than 203 cm for first and business class passengers and 158 cm for economy class passengers.

The number of pieces system determines the number of pieces of baggage that a passenger can carry. This system is commonly used on transatlantic flights. According to its rules, passengers of all service classes have the right to carry two pieces of baggage weighing up to 32 kg each free of charge. If the weight of one piece exceeds 32 kg, an additional fee is charged for it, even if the second piece weighs less than 32 kg. The sum of three dimensions of each seat must not exceed 158 cm for Economy Class passengers and 203 cm for First and Business Class passengers.
If the weight of the passenger's items to be weighed exceeds the established free allowance, the carriage of excess baggage must be paid at the appropriate rate. This tariff for almost all airlines is 1% of the cost of a first class ticket for every extra kilogram.
Of course, there are many more subtleties and nuances, but this is useless for you and us, tourists!

Aeroflot is certainly the cheapest, but not very profitable. although...
Aerosvit's economy class allows me to take 30kg with me to China - 2 suitcases
40 kg to Istanbul - 2 suitcases are also allowed
to Canada 70 kg, but again 2 suitcases.
+ I have a card, and this is + 5 kg
from Aeroflot you can buy a second piece of luggage from China to Kyiv, through Moscow time it cost 50 bucks 1 suitcase weighing up to 20 kg
in Turkish Airlines, which I really like, you can’t buy a second piece of luggage. more precisely, the second suitcase can be carried for free, but every kg of overweight is too expensive ...

For tickets issued from June 1, 2012 onwards, the new baggage allowance by the number of pieces (Piece Concept) is applied on all UIA flights, including charter ones. We fly from Kyiv to Hurghada. The ticket says that you can carry 23 kg - 1 piece. We are flying 3 people. so everyone should be with their own suitcase of 23 kg??? Explain please))

well, earlier in Boryspil they had nothing against 1 bag for two with a weight of, for example, 30-35 kg. that is, the main thing for two was not to exceed the weight norm.
I know that Aeroflot does not allow this, and a couple of years ago there were scandals just among tourists who flew on charters to rest in Turkey and took one suitcase per family. no one warned them not to do so.
about Mau - call them and clarify. no one will give you more accurate information

Most recently, I corresponded with UIA, but about the dimensions of hand luggage (we also fly Kyiv-Hurghada). They responded very quickly, wrote here:

I don’t know about Hurghada, but I flew to Belgium in the spring, they said that you have to pay for the 2nd place, despite the fact that the total weight was less than 20 kg. I had to wrap 2 bags together so that there was one place. So, now it’s probably The rule applies to all airlines.

We flew to UIA back in May 2012, with our suitcase everything was fine up to 20 kg, and for two.
Friends flew three adults with one 31 kg suitcase. - there were problems, they asked to pay for the excess or sort into two (they argued that the movers would be blown up if this happens in everyone), with great difficulty they persuaded them to skip without additional payment. On the way back, the same things and the same UIA, and no problems!

The day after tomorrow I’m flying alone from Belgium .. one small suitcase and a small bag on wheels - I usually take it with me .. it doesn’t fit into the suitcase and it’s less than 20 .. the question is, is it possible to attach another bag to the suitcase with tape and how many kg should be in the second bag .. somewhere I saw the info that 10 ...? This is true? And here everywhere they write about 5 ..

nikitina19, it looks like you didn't read the thread carefully.
Study the rules for carrying luggage by your carrier, if your suitcase is less than the norm, then you can tape a bag to it, but make sure that this luggage does not exceed the norm and is securely fastened. I would also pack it in a strong trash bag and wrap it with tape again. Keep in mind that different carriers have different rules regarding this.
Good luck!

O! thanks for the trash bag tip! It will be no more than 20 with the package together..even a little less.
I also found about the remaining 10 kg, you can.
My acquaintance only shakes my nerves a little, stubbornly stating that a suitcase with a wrapped package will not pass ..
