TL;DR

For a small overweight bag, it is usually cheaper to pre-book an extra 10 kg of cabin baggage on the Red Wings website for about RUB 1,500. Airport staff may occasionally overlook up to 1 kg, but larger excess baggage can be expensive at check-in.

If your checked bag exceeds the 20 kg allowance, a practical option is to pre-book 10 kg of additional cabin baggage on the Red Wings website; the reported price was about RUB 1,500.

You can pay for excess baggage at the airport, but a noticeable overweight bag is usually costly there. If you know the weight in advance, it is better not to wait until check-in.

In practical experience, check-in staff may sometimes waive an excess of up to 1 kg, but this is not a guaranteed airline policy and should not be relied on.
