How to carry a bike?

🚲 Carriage conditions

The bicycle is carried as 1 piece of checked baggage. Whether it can be carried free of charge depends on your fare:

  • If your fare includes baggage — the bicycle may be carried free of charge within the baggage allowance of your fare (weight and dimensions must comply).
  • If your fare does not include baggage — you will need to book the "Sports equipment carriage" service.

💰 Cost and booking of paid carriage

The service costs from 2,500 ₽. You can book it:

Preparing your bicycle for carriage
  • Pack the bicycle in a special box or film.
  • Secure the handlebars so they do not turn.
  • Remove the pedals.
  • It is permitted to separate the bicycle into two parts: the frame and the packed wheels. This is counted as 1 piece of baggage.

E‑bikes

E‑bikes with lithium‑ion batteries are subject to the rules for transporting batteries. The battery must be removed and carried in hand luggage (maximum power not exceeding 160 Wh, and prior approval from the airline is required). For more details, see the rules for transporting batteries.
