Aeroflot to Transport Ski Equipment Free of Charge

MOSCOW, Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This winter, Aeroflot will allow passengers to carry one set of ski equipment weighing up to 23 kg at no charge in addition to their allowable checked luggage. The offer is valid for flights flown within 1 November 2019 to 15 May 2020.

One set of ski equipment is defined as a cover with one pair of skis and one pair of ski poles and/or one pair of ski boots packaged separately. Alternatively, travelers can apply the offer to a case with one snowboard and/or one pair of snowboard boots packed separately.

Although not indicated on the ticket, Aeroflot will check your ski equipment at the check-in counter when space permits.
