Reservation of seats using an electronic ticket online. Features of the procedure. How to book seats on an airplane: detailed instructions Selecting a seat during the check-in process

The suitcases have already been packed, the days before the trip are being crossed off on the calendar... All that remains is to book the most comfortable seat on the plane so that you can enjoy the trip from the very first minute.

Some prefer a seat by the window to look at the receding earth, clouds and sun, starry sky and moon. Others want to sit comfortably in a seat and sleep peacefully throughout the flight.

Today you no longer need to come to the airport in person to purchase a ticket. Tiring queues at the box office are a thing of the past. Just go to the website and issue an electronic ticket in a few clicks. You can do this:

• through the airline's website;
• through an intermediary site.

Both options are completely safe if you buy from the official website of the airline or choose well-known portals. Your data will not fall into the wrong hands.

Find a flight ticket

It is often more convenient and even cheaper to purchase electronic tickets on aggregator sites. Their advantage is that on the desired date you will immediately be given a list of possible direct and indirect flights. And all you have to do is choose the most suitable one for all your needs.

How to book a plane seat online

What to do if you want to take a specific place? The fact is that the possibility of such a booking is not available with every airline. Some people have the “window seat” option, while others don’t give you the opportunity to choose at all when purchasing online. Still others, on the contrary, allow you to choose any chair you like.

Air carriers often reserve the most comfortable seats (in the first row, near emergency exits) for certain categories - tall people, parents with small children, pensioners. And if you fall into at least one of these categories, you may be lucky too.

If, when booking an electronic ticket, the site shows you a plan or diagram of the plane, where you can choose the seats you like, then there is no problem. What you specify is yours. And it is advisable to buy a ticket in advance - at least a month before the trip.

However, most airlines do things differently - they open a few days before departure and close a few hours before boarding. In this case, you can also book a seat on the plane using an electronic ticket without leaving your home. The advantage of this action is that you no longer have to stand in line and can go straight to the control. Some companies, by the way, can give their passengers pleasant bonuses for online registration.

When purchasing and registering online, be sure to print your ticket. This not only guarantees that you will find a seat quickly. This is also reference information about departure time, terminal number, etc. In the rush of collecting fees, such information can easily fly out of your head.

Tricks and subtleties of booking

Some carriers (usually low-cost airlines) charge passengers an additional fee for booking specific seats. And its size may vary depending on the seat class and flight duration. Pay attention to this point. Purchasing through an aggregator may turn out to be more profitable, because such portals usually operate at the expense of a commission from the airlines themselves.

There is one little trick - some companies themselves “book” the best places. This applies to the most popular flights. Then you should arrive early for check-in, and be one of the first to ask the airport staff to find you a seat by the window or aisle. Most likely, your polite request will be granted.

• Do not miss:

The same principle works if it was not possible to reserve a seat when issuing an electronic ticket. The earlier you arrive, the more opportunities you have to snatch the “lucky ticket”. And remember that the front desk workers are regular people. A friendly attitude and asking instead of demanding can work wonders.

If something went wrong and you were seated in an uncomfortable seat on the plane, do not despair. If there are still empty seats in the cabin, you can always ask the flight attendant to move you.

Azimuth Airlines offers passengers the opportunity to choose their seat on board the aircraft. You can select your preferred seat either directly at the departure airport at the check-in counter, or in the airline’s online services.

At the departure airport:

“Priority” and “Priority+” are a new service with additional amenities. The passenger who has used the service, choosing a seat at will, is seated in the front part of the cabin.

“Priority+” - selection of a seat on the 1st-3rd row of seats with reclining backs and an increased distance between the rows, with expanded legroom and placement in the front part of the aircraft cabin.

“Priority” - choice of a seat in 4-5 rows of reclining seats located in the front part of the aircraft cabin or a seat in 6-20(21) rows.

Services are provided for an additional fee and are issued at the ticket office of an authorized agent at the airport at the check-in stage no earlier than 3 hours before flight departure.

Seat selection is available in the following online services:

1. During the process of issuing an air ticket. The service is available regardless of the time before departure during the entire period of sale of air tickets. But at the same time, there remains the need to go through the passenger check-in procedure for the flight.

Confirmation of payment for choosing a seat in any of the services is an EMD and an electronic receipt from the processing system, sent to the passenger’s email.

A refund of the cost of the service is made in full if the service is not provided in the following cases:

• Involuntary refusal of a passenger from transportation, provided for by the rules of AZIMUTH Airlines JSC and Art. 227 Federal Aviation Rules “General rules for air transportation of passengers, baggage, cargo and requirements for servicing passengers, shippers, consignees”, approved by Order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia dated June 28, 2007 No. 82 (hereinafter referred to as FAP No. 82);
• Termination by AZIMUT Airlines JSC unilaterally of the passenger air carriage agreement in accordance with Art. 230 FAP No. 82 (except for the case of unilateral termination by the carrier of the contract for air transportation of a passenger on the basis provided for in paragraph 6 of Article 230 of FAP No. 82, in which case the amount paid for the service is not returned to the passenger);
• Voluntary refusal of the passenger from transportation in accordance with Art. 229 FAP No. 82;
• Prompt replacement of aircraft type;
• Prompt flight cancellation;
• Transferring a passenger to another seat during a flight in order to ensure aviation security;
• For other reasons affecting flight safety as decided by an airline representative or crew.

If it is necessary to transfer to another seat, the responsible flight attendant on board the aircraft places a note on a paper copy of the EMD, or on the boarding pass, or on the itinerary receipt of the electronic ticket that the service is not provided.

Refunds are made to the passenger when contacting the airline's Contact Center at infoavia@site with the obligatory provision of:

• return application filled out in free form,
• a scanned copy of an identity document, if necessary, a notarized power of attorney,

How to book seats on a plane using electronic tickets? You will learn the answer to this question from our article. It must be said right away that there is no need to wait in queues here: the document can be ordered via the Internet, with a choice of place.

In short, you need to do the following:

1. select an airline - the most famous services are skyscanner.ru, aviasales.ru, Yandex.avibiletes.ru, aviakassa.ru (an alternative option: ordering from an intermediary is not so profitable and requires additional time);
2. select a seat and follow the instructions until you complete your ticket.

Below we will look at these steps in more detail. Now let’s define what an electronic document is. E-Ticket is a digital entry in the airline's database that replaces standard paper counterparts. In other words, this is an agreement between the client and the air carrier party to provide the relevant service.

Some ticket items may require decryption:

• Carrier indicates the selected airline;
• To/From - direction;
• Flight - flight number;
• Stopover - stop duration; an empty field or an O sign means a stop lasting more than 24 hours; the X sign, on the contrary, indicates a stop for a time interval of less than a day (and a lower ticket price);
• Class - comfort level: first, business or economy.

On licensed websites of airlines, as well as from intermediary companies, air tickets are purchased according to the standard scheme. Let's follow this operation using the example of any intermediary site:

1. Login to the site (registration is not required);
2. in the search we write the name of the departure point;
3. in another window we indicate the point of arrival;
4. select the flight time and number of passengers;
5. Click “find tickets” (if desired, click “return not needed”).

The “complex route” service allows you to find a route with one or more stops. To use it, you must first fill out your personal information, noting contacts, passport information and email address. An itinerary (a document with information about the flight, options for depositing funds and the passenger) plus the electronic ticket itself will be sent to the entered address.

Attention! The data you fill out must be reliable and correctly formatted. If there are errors, the flight may not take place. To clarify any information (for example, if you can’t remember the online booking code), dial the help desk - employees will help you understand the document and answer other questions regarding registration and obtaining a ticket.

Depositing funds

You can pay for the purchase of electronic tickets using an electronic wallet (Yandex.Money, WebMoney, etc.), a card at airport ATMs, or cash at the ticket office. It is recommended to make payment only after submitting the application, making sure that the forms are filled out accordingly - according to the rules of many aviation organizations, funds for the ticket are not refundable. Flight cancellation is permitted for some personal reasons or when takeoff is cancelled.

What is check-in for a flight?

After purchasing a ticket, you must register. Check in on time: between 24 hours and 40 minutes before departure (check the airline company's instructions just in case). To register, you must use the booking reference found on your ticket. It consists of a 6-digit set plus Latin letters. Let's look at how to check in for a flight online:

3. After viewing the rules, click “to register”;
4. enter your last name, departure time, PNR number (booking code) and flight number;
5. click on “search” and carefully read the data received;
6. now indicate the number of passengers and only after that you can select seats;
7. Click “register” - your boarding document will be sent to your email or phone.

How to print your boarding pass

The boarding pass, received by e-mail or telephone, must be printed for subsequent presentation at baggage check, as well as during boarding the plane. Aeroflot and other major aviation companies offer the opportunity to receive a boarding pass by phone. SMS with a barcode must be used at the self-registration terminal; the machine will issue your ticket. This procedure takes no more than 5 minutes.

It is convenient to immediately print the boarding pass sent by email at home (A4, using a printer) or by name and flight number at the self-check-in terminal. Optional option: print at the reception desk. With only your printed boarding document and hand luggage in hand, you can head straight to the boarding gate. Look at the airport monitor for the exit number. If you have luggage, you should check it in at a special collection point or at the check-in counter.

Who is forced to register in the usual way

Online registration is not suitable for the following categories of citizens:

• minors without parents;
