Notification
Carriage and other services provided by the carrier are subject to the conditions of carriage, which are incorporated in this document by reference to them. These conditions can be obtained from the issuing carrier or the carrier named on the ticket. Passengers whose carriage has a final destination or stopover in a country other than the country of departure is advised that the entire carriage, including any part of it, located within the territory of the country may be subject to the provisions of international agreements known as the Montreal Convention or its predecessor, the Warsaw Convention. convention, including its amendments (Warsaw system). For such passengers, the applicable agreement (including special conditions of carriage resulting from applicable fares) governs and may limit the liability of the carrier. More detailed information available from the carrier.
Within one class of air tickets (business or economy) there is a division according to the type of fare. At the same time, passengers of the same class, regardless of the type of fare, receive exactly the same set of services and can take any seat in the economy class cabin. So what do those Y, B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T on the ticket mean?
Strictly speaking, economy class fares differ in the terms of return and exchange of the ticket, the size of the discount for children, and the validity of the ticket. The conditions for applying the fare determine the amount of the penalty for returning the ticket, the specifics of calculations when changing different sections of the route, the possibility of making changes to the route, for example, changing the name of the passenger or the date of departure.
Fares are indicated on the tickets by letter codes. But the designation system and fare conditions differ depending on the airline.
In general, three main tariff groups can be distinguished:
|
Premium / Full |
Standard | promo | |
|

In addition, some tariffs may have additional restrictions. Such as, for example, the ability to choose a seat in the cabin at check-in. And lastly, for different tariffs, a different amount of bonus miles is accrued.
The conditions on board will be the same regardless of the chosen fare, and the difference in price may differ by 7 times. So the conclusion is simple: if you are sure that your plans will not change, take the cheapest tariff.

Regular flights performed major airlines strictly on schedule and with any number of passengers (even with one). The aircraft cabin is usually divided into three classes (first, business and economy class), during the flight they serve the press, duty-free products and lunch with wine. Economy class is usually cheaper, but in business class, the distance between the seats is much larger and the food is better. In addition, when buying a ticket for a regular flight, you can buy a one-way ticket only, choose between several fares, count on discounts for youth, pensioners, or frequent flyers.
Unlike a scheduled flight, the consolidator (host) charter flight- the travel company, which agreed with the airlines, booked the entire plane and sent it in the right direction. At the same time, often the travel agency "raises the charter" not by itself, but together with several other companies. Most often, Il-86, Tu-154 are taken for charters, and Tu-154M on Western European routes. The type of aircraft can be determined 1-2 days before departure, depending on the load: if a lot of tickets are sold, the Il-86 will fly, if there are few passengers, then the Tu-154. Most charter flights are operated by "scheduled airlines" in their regular aircraft. Charters fly in "windows" between regular flights and are carried out in the form of a chain "there and immediately back" (the plane brings new tourists and immediately takes away the previous ones).
A ticket for a charter flight is much (sometimes 2-3 times) cheaper than a regular one. In addition, regular flights simply do not fly to a number of popular “beach” resorts, or their number is minimal.
Tickets for charter flights are most often included in the standard "tour package". However, "leftovers" can always be purchased without a tour package. Tickets for charter flights are non-refundable, the cost of air tickets in case of cancellation of the tour is not refundable.
There are also so-called "settlement" flights - this is a regular charter flight, in which the plane waits for tourists at the airport for the entire period of their vacation (most often such single charter flights are operated on holidays).
Designations on the ticket:
R - first class improved. Typically provided on Boeing 777-200 aircraft. Passengers are provided with satellite phones, individual TV monitors and berths.
F - first class.
A - first class discount. Airlines have base fares for the flights they operate, which they can lower if it suits them for a period of time.
J - business class improved. The passenger is provided with a seat in the cabin with more spacious seats than in the usual business class, the menu has a large selection of dishes, entertainment is provided (for example, computer games).
C - business class.
D - business class with a discount.
W - economy class improved. The distance between the rows is somewhat greater than in the usual economy class.
K, S - economy class with fixed rates. There are no discounts for these tickets.
B, H, L, M, Q, T, V, Y - discounted economy class. Here are all possible options letters indicating this rate.
Airlines may impose various restrictions on booking tickets. The most frequent restrictions on the time of the order and the number of tickets. In this case, code G is used.
Some carriers on short haul flights operate an economy class "shuttle" service, which is denoted by the letters E), no tinting, seat confirmed at check-in) or U (no reservation required, seat guaranteed).
Type of food provided indicated by letters or drawings: B or cup - breakfast; L, D or crossed fork and knife - hot lunch or dinner; S or a bun, or a knife with a fork - cold snacks; X - multiple meals.
If the schedule contains the letter M, then during the flight passengers will be shown a full-length film, the letter F - a short film.

The highlighted field indicates the point of departure for this flight coupon (English spelling). Below is the point of arrival. If there are several airports in a given city, the name is followed by a three-letter airport code.
STOPOVER- Stopover indicator. X/O (no/yes). If at this point there is a stop along the route for more than 24 hours ("stopover"), then this field is empty or "O". If this point is a transit point, then "X" stands opposite this point. The use of a stopover is reflected in the total cost of the ticket due to airport taxes, since in the absence of a stopover, some taxes are not paid, which makes it possible to reduce the price of the ticket.
CARRIER- Carrier. The carrier's two-letter airline code. The codes are regulated by IATA (International Air Carriers Association) and can be both quite obvious: SU - Aeroflot, LH - Lufthansa, AF - Air France, BA - British Airways, and not so: AY - Finnair, UN - Transaero, AZ - Alitalia.
FLIGHT- Flight number.
CLASS- Booking class. A Latin letter indicating a certain quota of seats on an aircraft. Usually: R "Supersonic" (on Concord flights). F, P, A - first class. J, C, D, I, Z - business class. W, S, Y, B, H, K, L, M, N, Q, T, V, X - economy class.
DATE- Departure date for this coupon.
TIME- Departure time. Always the local time of the departure point.
STATUS- Booking status. Usually the ticket is issued with a confirmed status - "OK". For some fares it is possible to issue tickets with the status "RQ" (seat request at check-in). The ticket for infants (up to 2 years old) flying without a seat indicates the status "NS".
FARE BASIS- Type of tariff. Alphanumeric designation of the tariff for this coupon:
NVB/NVA(NOT VALID BEFORE/NOT VALID AFTER) - Not valid before/not valid after. The date before and after which, respectively, you cannot fly on this flight coupon (if the fare rules allow changes in dates). For most "hard" discounted fares, both dates coincide with the date of departure for this coupon. If the columns are empty, then this means that this ticket is valid for at least a year.
FARE CALCULATION- Tariff calculation. This column provides a detailed fare calculation for the entire ticket. The calculation consists of three-letter city codes, two-character carrier codes and fare components in NUC (neutral units of calculation). The combined tax (airport fees) is also deciphered here. The column may contain service information: conversion rates of neutral units, currencies, various restrictive ones.
FARE- Tariff. Tariff in the currency of the beginning of transportation. For example, if a ticket is issued on the route London - Moscow, then the fare will be indicated in pounds (GBP). Soft currency countries (including Russia) have tariffs published in US dollars. If the ticket is issued at a confidential fare, then the fare may not be indicated in this column (replaced by the icon "IT" or "FORFAIT").
TOTAL- Total. The total price of the ticket (fare plus airport taxes) in the currency of the point of issue of the ticket. In Russia for different airlines it can be both Russian rubles and US dollars. If the ticket is issued at a confidential fare, then the amount may not be indicated in this column (it is replaced by the icon "IT" or "FORFAIT").
EQUIV/ FARE PD- Fare equivalent. Fare equivalent in the currency of the point of issue (if the currency of the point of issue differs from the currency of the point of departure).

AIRLINE DATA- For airline marks.
PNR CODE- Alphanumeric booking number.
ENDORSEMENTS/RESTRICTIONS- Endorsement/restrictions. This column indicates various restrictions on carriage on this ticket, as well as the possibility of "transfer" (endorsement) of the passenger to another carrier. For example, if the column indicates "SU / KL ONLY", then this means that this ticket is valid on flights "Aeroflot" (SU) and "KLM" (KL) and if the fare conditions allow changes on the ticket, then even on already issued ticket, you can "transfer" from one company to another. If the fare for which the ticket is issued allows any changes, then this possibility should be reflected in this column. For example, "RES CHG USD50" or "ONE INBOUND REB FREE" means: "BOOKING CHANGE WITH A PENALTY OF USD 50" or "ONE BACK DATE CHANGE FREE OF CHARGE". Usually, for the most preferential ("hard") fares, the following template is common: "XX ONLY/NON REF/NO CHG/NO REROUT" FORBIDDEN". Service information can also be displayed in this column.
ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR- Issued in exchange. If a ticket is issued in exchange for another (the so-called "correspondence"), then the number of the original ticket is entered in this column. The meaning of the ticket correspondence is easier to understand with an example. You bought a ticket on the Singapore - Moscow - Singapore route, flew to Moscow on it and decided to change the route to the Moscow - Bangkok route. In this case, the agent will recalculate the cost of the flight on the new route (starting from Singapore, i.e. Singapore - Moscow - Bangkok) and deduct this cost from the cost of the "old" ticket. If new ticket more expensive, then you will have to pay a certain amount, if it is cheaper, the agent will issue you a receipt, according to which you can receive the amount due to you at the place where you purchased the ticket. The number of the "old" ticket will be indicated on this ticket.
CONJUNCTION TICKETS- Additional (combined) ticket. If the itinerary includes more flights than there are flight coupons on the form, such a ticket is issued on several forms, and cross-references are made here to other ticket numbers. It should be borne in mind that these several forms represent ONE ticket, and even if you have completely flown the route on one of them, in no case should you throw it away until the end of the entire trip. Another common case when the column contains a number additional ticket(when traveling in groups).
ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENT/RESTRICTIONS- Additional restrictions. Contains information that does not fit in the ENDORSEMENT/RESTRICTIONS column.
TOUR CODE- Tour code. Symbol used when issuing confidential and special tariffs.
VALIDATOR PLACE- Validator field. Stamp of the agency that sold the ticket. Must contain the name of the agency, its short address, a unique office number, i.e. IATA number or Aeroflot code. Alphanumeric reference of the agent issuing the ticket. Ticket issue date.
Norm free transportation baggage.
Worldwide there are restrictions on the weight and number of pieces of baggage that
the passenger has the right to carry. Depending on the class of service, there are different free baggage allowances. For the "weight" system:
In economy class - 20 kg
Business class - 30 kg
In the first class - 40 kg
For the system "places" - "PC".
Excess baggage is usually paid based on the following cost of 1 kg - 1-2% of the cost of the highest economy class fare "one way". Moreover, this payment is usually made in local currency.
Today, visiting any place on the planet is available to everyone. Air travel simplifies this task. However, such voyages are designed for different levels of comfort. Let's decide how to choose a flight class and what you should pay attention to when purchasing a ticket.
Considering the current level various airlines of the world, passengers independently choose the classes of service on aircraft. Based on the degree of convenience of the trip, tourists have the right to purchase tickets of the first, business or economy category. In addition, these three main areas of service imply internal division according to the degree of booking and other conditions.
In general, an air ticket booking class is an encoding in the form of Latin characters that determines specific quotas for the number of seats or time limits for booking. Do not confuse this definition with the level of service - after all, both categories have different characteristics. In order to understand a little with the information presented, we will tell you in more detail about all the possible nuances.
Service of the highest category
On intercontinental flights, competitive airlines offer all-inclusive flights to affluent passengers. The first class on such liners is a separate "room", where the tourist is provided with a full bed, a choice of menus of high-class restaurants and a full range of entertainment. Sometimes on board ships offering such services, there are individual shower blocks and dressing rooms.
Of course, the chairs here are made of materials High Quality and are equipped with convenient functions: massage, heating, orthopedic seats. seat involves its transformation into a full bed or its additional installation. In addition, some airlines add a personal bar and a cinema to the services of wealthy customers.
On tickets, such places are indicated by marking them with the symbols "P", "F" or "A". The mark "P" means the reservation of individual cabins of an improved standard. There are separate beds for sleeping, satellite communications and TV monitors. Similar conditions are feasible on Airbus A330 or Boeing 747 200 liners. Marking "F" suggests travel in first class according to the general rules. The designation "A" indicates the provision of a seat on special conditions - at a discount offered by the airline at the peak of seasonal flights.
In addition, first class passengers have additional privileges. At the airport, these people are checked in in a separate hall or compartment. Here they are provided with individual waiting rooms, where there is everything you need, including showers. Unlimited Internet, a selection of snacks and drinks, comfortable furniture and other entertainment - the minimum set at any airport for passengers flying in this class. This category of tourists gets to the airport terminal by individual special premium vehicles, and the baggage allowance for such passengers far exceeds the standard minimum established by airlines.
Enhanced comfort flights
Business-class cabins are becoming a substitute for first-class flights on short-haul domestic and international flights. In addition, some types of aircraft, such as the Boeing 777 200, are equipped with both types of cabins. The conditions of increased comfort imply an increase in the number of pieces of hand luggage for the client - 2 units against one piece for passengers who fly on general terms. In addition, the airlines have provided a sufficient amount of space between the rows of seats, twin seats, which in most cases are located on the sides of the liner. Usually the following seating options are used here:
- Backrest reclining angle 160º. The standard width of the chair here varies between 440-860 mm. The passages between the lines range from 0.84 to 2.02 meters, depending on the dimensions of the liner.
- 180º reclining chairs. Here the dimensions of the seats range from 460 mm to 580 mm, and the dimensions of the passages will be at least 1.4 meters. The maximum width between the seats reaches 1.7 m. The angle of the backrest allows you to transform the seat into a comfortable bed and minimizes the discomfort of the client on the plane.
During flights, Wi-Fi is available here, a choice from a wide range of menus, the ability to charge gadgets and read the latest press. Airports also provide some privileges for such passengers. These people register either at a separate terminal or bypassing the general queue. In addition, the waiting area for such customers is equipped with enough comfortable conditions staying in separate rooms.
Passengers who have canceled their trip here have the opportunity to return tickets at their face value or postpone the trip at a convenient time for themselves. As for the ticket marking, the business class category includes the symbols "J", "C", "D", "Z", "I".
Moreover, the “J” mark indicates the reservation of premium class seats. Here the seats will be more spacious, the choice of drinks and snacks will be wider. In addition, this category of customers has the right to count on the provision additional entertainment During the flight.
The abbreviation "C" means travel in business class on a general basis, and the last three characters indicate the reservation of seats on the plane with the possibility of a reduction in price during the season. As you can see, the special flight conditions allow you to travel in comfort. The only negative in this situation, the ticket becomes expensive - usually the price of such seats in the cabin is approximately four times higher than the cost of a standard ticket.
General flight conditions
Since we have discussed the main characteristics of places of high and increased comfort, let's move on to the provision of standard services. When purchasing a ticket to an economy cabin, some people flying for the first time are interested in: “B class on an airplane - what is it?”. This designation indicates the possibility of providing discounts by the airline during the peak tourist season. The symbol belongs to the category of booking and is indirectly related to the conditions of the flight.
For economy class passengers, the carrier allocates most of the cabin, because this option is very popular among residents of any country
If we talk about comfort, the economy class of any liner is standard seats, which are located quite compactly, which reduces the comfort of customers on the way. There are certain restrictions on some seats - the backs of the seats at emergency passages and places located in front of the food and sanitary blocks do not recline or do not fully fold out.
The seats of this class occupy the main part of the liner and are located in the middle and tail areas of the side. Their layout usually takes place according to the scheme 3:3 or 3:4:3 - depending on the type and model of the aircraft. As a rule, there is no question of a comfortable flight, but each of the seats, nevertheless, is equipped with an armrest and a transformable table. Although the company offers food for passengers who have chosen such travel conditions only on condition of a flight lasting more than two hours.
The service offered to economy class passengers includes only the essentials for the duration of the flight.
Low-cost airlines specializing in short-term flights exclude the provision of free food at all. Here, passengers rely solely on limited number drinks. For customers occupying standard seats, airlines provide for some restrictions on the carry-on baggage allowance (on average up to 10 kg) and baggage (about 23 kg).
Registration of such people takes place at the general counter at the airport, the lounge area here is also public and does not involve any special frills. A bus delivers passengers directly to the plane, and in some cases, customers get on their own. All possible inconveniences are compensated by the low cost of the trip - tickets to the common cabin are affordable for most residents of the country. Consider some of the nuances of the flight, which involves a trip of this level of service, in more detail.
About economy booking classification
As in situations with the purchase of tickets to the cabin with a higher degree of convenience, there are several options for passengers of different levels of solvency and claims. Experts refer to economy class codes as "W", "S", "Y", "B", "H", "K", "L", "M", "N", "Q", "T" , "V", "X", "O" and "G" reservation categories. Let's consider them in the given order.
The Latin character in the column of the ticket "class" indicates the category of the passenger's flight
The symbol "W" suggests the client's ability to take premium seats in the cabin. Usually the distance in front of such chairs is increased, sometimes the seats themselves are paired (at emergency exits on some modifications of liners). Fixed and standard conditions assume category "S" and class "Y" in the aircraft. What does this mean? Experienced travelers know that tickets with this marking do not provide for any changes in terms of the agreed conditions on the way or cost.
The remaining symbols, with the exception of the “G” marking, suggest the possibility of reducing the cost of the flight at the discretion of the airline. This includes the class "N" in the aircraft, the markings "Q" and "T". Category "V" is considered youth, and the symbols "K" and "L" are considered cheap seats which are sometimes discounted.
On some large liners, the places in the tail of the side are called "tourist". It is for this category that you can purchase tickets marked “class M”. On the plane, this level is served under the same conditions as category "Y" or with some restrictions.
A purchased ticket to an economy lounge marked "M" means that this type of seat is subject to the airline's discounts during peak season flights
As for the “G” mark, here the airlines provide for group reservations. A similar practice is used for charter flights, when the tour operator buys only part of the liner or a separate block of seats. In addition, there are other encodings of the reservation class. Economy class "E" on the plane means the inability to choose a seat in advance. Here, the passenger determines the landing seat during the flight check-in. The “U” symbol says that no seat reservation is required, since all seats are guaranteed to be occupied by customers, according to the fare of their ticket.
Finally, we note that airlines independently control the number of tickets that offer discounts. Keep in mind that when you downgrade the comfort class, the quota for the number of air tickets decreases proportionally.
When purchasing a plane ticket, passengers independently determine the class of service on the liner 
Flying in first class is the most expensive but most comfortable way to travel. 
Flying in business class implies certain privileges for passengers, as well as an increased degree of seat comfort and service. 
For business class passengers, the airport has a separate check-in terminal and a comfortable waiting room

For example, "RES CHG USD50" or "ONE INBOUND REB FREE" means: " CHANGING YOUR BOOKING WITH A PENALTY OF USD 50" or " ONE BACK DATE CHANGE FOR FREE". Usually, for the most preferential ("hard") tariffs, the following template is common: " XX ONLY/NON REF/NO CHG/NO REROUT" - "TICKET IS VALID ON THE CARRIER ONLY xx / TICKET NON-REFUNDABLE/CHANGES OF DATES ON THE TICKET IS IMPOSSIBLE/CHANGING THE ROUTE IS FORBIDDEN". In this column, service information can also be displayed.
