Useful advices before and during the flight

Packing

What should you do before leaving home?

You bought a ticket on the Smartavia flight, yay! What next?

Double-check your itinerary receipt

Flight number
Route
Date

All correct? If everything is in order, you can confidently continue preparing for your trip.

If you can’t find your itinerary receipt, don’t worry reach out to us, and we’ll help you (Select the category "Ticket Issuance. Booking Management" and the subtopic "Request Itinerary Receipt").

Pack mindfully, so you don't have to search for shorts amoung the winter shoes

Make sure everything fits the rules

The items you’re bringing on board as carry-on luggage and/or the checked baggage you’ll hand over at check-in must comply with our guidelines:

  • carry-on luggage for all fares — 1 item, 10 kg, 40×30×20 cm;
  • checked baggage for Smart — 1 item, 10 kg, with total dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 203 cm;
  • checked baggage for SmartPro — 1 item, 23 kg, with total dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 203 cm.

This is important for avoiding extra charges at the airport, otherwise you'll have to pay extra at the airport.

In case you overpacked
Don't worry — just purchase the necessary services on our website. And it's cheaper than paying at the airport.

By the way, aside from your carry-on, there are additional personal items you can bring into the cabin. Lastly, make sure your belongings don’t contain any prohibited items.
