TL;DR
Boxes of mangoes can usually be taken, but not always — sometimes boxes are left behind at the airport, and too many boxes as carry-on can block overhead bins and slow down boarding.
Travelers ask whether it's realistically possible to bring boxed mangoes on Rossiya Airlines flights — there's no guaranteed rule, but many try anyway.
During boarding, carry-on mango boxes sometimes fill up all overhead bins, leaving passengers who board last with nowhere to put their own bags.
Last year at Sharm El Sheikh airport there were cases when boxed mangoes were not allowed through and had to be left behind at the airport — be prepared for this possibility.
