Prices
Extra checked bags
Utair sells excess checked baggage as fixed weight packages (up to 10 / 20 / 30 kg, max 203 cm per piece) rather than by piece count. Every published price shows three figures: within Russia / departing from Russia / arriving in Russia — in rubles for RF routes and departures and in USD for arrivals into Russia. Online purchase (via Manage booking or online check-in) is the cheapest channel; at the airport excess weight over the free allowance is charged per kilogram; at the boarding gate a flat package rate applies. Transfer (connecting) itineraries cost more than direct flights.

Airport or late purchase
Buying excess baggage online (website, online check-in or support chat) is significantly cheaper than paying at the airport, where excess weight over the free allowance is charged per kilogram rather than as a fixed package. Online payment windows are shorter for certain airports and routes.

FAQ
Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?
Yes. Extra checked baggage (by weight package), extra cabin baggage, sports equipment and pet transport can be paid online on the Utair website (Manage booking or online check-in), in the mobile app, or through the support chat. Overweight and oversized fees for bags over 30 kg / 203 cm can only be paid at the airport.
Where do I buy extra baggage?
Buy via "Управление бронированием" (Manage booking) on utair.ru, during online check-in (opens 36 hours before departure), in the mobile app, through the Utair support chat, or at the airport check-in counter. To find your booking enter the passport series and number (or order/ticket number) plus the last name exactly as on the ticket.
When is the deadline to buy extra baggage online?
Excess baggage can be paid online if more than 2 hours remain before departure (some airports and routes require 3-12 hours lead time, e.g. Vnukovo to Azerbaijan/Tajikistan/Uzbekistan needs 12 hours). The cheapest rate applies when the ticket or service is bought more than 36 hours before departure or during online check-in; buying at airport check-in or later is more expensive.
How does Utair calculate extra baggage charges?
Utair sells excess checked baggage as fixed weight packages (up to 10 / 20 / 30 kg, max 203 cm per piece). Every published price shows three figures: within Russia / departing from Russia / arriving in Russia — in rubles for RF routes and departures and in USD for arrivals into Russia. Transfer (connecting) itineraries cost more than direct flights, and airport payment is per kilogram.
Is it cheaper to buy extra baggage online in advance vs at the airport?
Yes. Online packages on direct flights start at 1999₽ for up to 10 kg and 2999₽ for up to 20 kg within Russia, while excess weight over the free allowance paid at the airport is charged per kilogram (600₽/kg within Russia). Paying at the boarding gate (from 3000₽ / 5500₽ / 65$ for up to 10 kg on direct flights) is also more expensive than the online rate.
How many extra bags can I buy, and what are the bag limits?
Free checked baggage depends on fare: Minimum — none; Optimum and Premium — 1 piece up to 20 kg; Eurobusiness — 2 pieces up to 30 kg each (all up to 203 cm); flights from Dushanbe and Bishkek allow 30 kg. One checked piece must not exceed 203 cm in total dimensions and 50 kg; outbound from Dubai one piece is limited to 32 kg. Free cabin baggage is one piece 55×40×25 cm up to 10 kg, and one paid extra cabin bag or Cabin Bag+ (85×40×25 cm) can be added.
What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?
Bags of 31-50 kg (within 203 cm) cost 18000₽/21000₽/150$ on direct flights and 27000₽/31500₽/225$ on transfer flights. Bags over 203 cm in total dimensions cost 7000₽/10000₽/150$ (up to 20 kg), 21500₽/26000₽/225$ (31-50 kg) on direct flights. These fees are paid only at the airport — they cannot be prepaid online.
Do partner-operated or codeshare flights have different baggage rules?
Yes. On codeshare flights with ALROSA and RusLine, extra baggage can only be paid at the airport check-in counter — ALROSA at Utair tariffs, RusLine at RusLine tariffs. Utair Status programme extra-baggage privileges do not apply to partner tickets.
Can I pay for extra baggage with cards or other methods?
Prepaid baggage is paid by bank card — on the Utair website, in the mobile app, or via the support chat, where bank-card payment is the only option. The official site does not mention other payment methods for prepaid baggage.
Can I get a refund or transfer extra baggage if I cancel or change my booking?
If you do not use a prepaid baggage service, you can claim a refund within one year of purchase using the form on the Utair website (for purchases on the site, in the app or via the support operator) or through the agency where you bought the ticket. If you paid for the wrong baggage category, you can return and rebook the service within 12 months.
Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?
On intra-district routes within Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO), excess baggage cannot be prepaid — it is charged per kilogram at the airport at route-specific rates (44.60₽–113.88₽ per kg). On international flights to the UAE the heavy-baggage fee is higher (21,000₽ / 26,000₽ / 31,500₽ / 39,000₽), and baggage out of Dubai is limited to 32 kg per piece.
