I'll be flying Aeroflot Transatlantic in to SVO and connecting to a flight bought by Belavia. I bought my tickets from Aeroflot and my e-ticket shows the following:
Inbound:
Arriving Terminal
TERMINAL F
AEROFLOT
SU
Operated by BELAVIA
Departing: TERMINAL B
Outbound:
AEROFLOT
SU
Operated by BELAVIA
Arriving At TERMINAL B
AEROFLOT
SU
Departing At TERMINAL D
The reason I asked about the baggage allowance is because my ticket states I get 2 checked bags at 23kg's for my entire itinerary. A call to Aeroflot get's me typical Russian customer service and a response of;
You purchased your entire trip with Aeroflot. Your e-ticket says you are allowed 2 pieces (23kg's and a carry on 10kg's) for your whole trip. No one will charge you extra. It is Aeroflot rules.
First hand experience tells me that because the 2nd flight is operated by a carrier other than Aeroflot (in this case Belavia). Also, compounded by the fact I'll be flying out on a CRJ as well as being a 'foreigner' I suspect they are going to try to tell me that my bags are A.) overweight, and B.) that I'll need to check my carry on and pay an additional penalty.
This is why I was curious if anyone had a link or could post the proper 'baggage rules' which state I can indeed take the allotted luggage in English and Russian on these flights. Otherwise with the multiple queue and pay set up I fear I'll miss my flight in addition to the connection. Not to mention getting charged the extra unnecessarily.
When I requested that Aeroflot send this info again I got the typical Russian response of
it's not possible. It is in our computer and part of your ticket. everyone who sees your ticket will see this and know this. It is Aeroflot rules.
