OREANDA-NEWS. On October 25 UTair will transition to its Autumn-Winter flight schedule. During this period UTair plans to perform flights to more than 110 destinations, including 40 unique destinations. More than 70 flights to 54 destinations will be performed daily from Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow alone.

Expansion of the UTair route network will continue during the Autumn-Winter season with the addition of new routes connecting Moscow with Anadyr and Grozny and the re-introduction of flights between the Russian capital and Riga, Lipetsk and Kazan.

Flights will be performed with more than 60 aircraft in the UTair fleet, including Boeing 767 and 737-400/500/800 airliners and regional turbofan ATR-72-500 aircraft.

In addition to transitioning to the Autumn-Winter schedule, UTair will also introduce new rules for baggage and carry-on. The following baggage allowance regulations will come into effect:

Service class Baggage (max. total dimensions 203 cm) Carry-on (max. total dimensions 115 cm)

Privileges for high-level STATUS program members Premium: 1 additional piece of baggage
VIP: 2 additional pieces of baggage

 

In the event that a passenger’s total baggage weight, including carry-on baggage, does not exceed 10 kg, the limit for number of baggage pieces does not apply.

This arrangement means the total free baggage and carry-on allowance on UTair flights has increased by 13 kg for economy class passengers, by 26 kg for comfort class passengers and by 44 kg for those traveling in business class. At the same time limits for the maximum amount of baggage pieces have been introduced.

In addition to the standard baggage allowance stated on the flight ticket, passengers are allowed to transport baby carriages, wheelchairs, one set of ski/snowboarding equipment with additional gear (poles, boots, helmet) free of charge.
