Aeroflot for Victory Day. Free ticket for a veteran: Aeroflot has prepared a gift for Victory Day. Aeroflot will give veterans a free flight

In connection with the upcoming Victory Day, let's find out which Russian airlines offer free air tickets for veterans, or at a reduced rate.

Last year, let me remind you, 13 air carriers announced promotions for veterans on Victory Day. This year the list hasn't changed much: 14 airlines. So, in order.

Transaero

This year, 161 routes are participating in the airline’s promotion on May 9, including not only regional flights, but also foreign destinations.

And the period of flights using social air tickets is quite wide - from April 9 to May 31 inclusive.

Residents can take advantage of the promotion besieged Leningrad, home front workers with benefits, former concentration camp prisoners, as well as WWII veterans, regardless of citizenship. The discount is 100% of the fare amount and applies only to economy class flights.

Also, as part of the promotion, a passenger over 18 years of age accompanying a veteran receives a 50% discount on an air ticket.

Using social air tickets, veterans will be able to fly to cities in Kazakhstan, Latvia, Armenia, Canada, Israel, the USA, Uzbekistan, the Czech Republic, Austria and many other countries.

In my opinion, this is the airline’s most generous promotion dedicated to Victory Day.

Aeroflot

Aeroflot airline also did not remain aloof from the event. The traditional “Places of Military Glory” promotion is valid for flights from April 3 to May 12 inclusive.

For reference: back in 2001, Aeroflot airline was the first to introduce the tradition of thanking veterans for their heroism through social air tickets.

Former minor prisoners of concentration camps are entitled to receive a discounted Aeroflot air ticket, subject to Russian Federation citizenship and permanent residence in the Russian Federation; veterans and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War, including citizens of the CIS and Baltic countries that were part of the USSR.

The possibility of a free flight in one or both directions applies to all domestic flights of the airline, to flights from the Baltic states, the CIS and the Russian Federation to Europe, as well as to flights between the Russian Federation and the CIS or the Baltic states.

You can issue a social air ticket from April 25 to May 12. Its validity period is one month from the date of registration. All flights must begin from May 3 to May 12 and return no later than May 31.

The promotion applies only to Aeroflot’s own routes.

Considering the number of reservations and restrictions, the offer is not nearly as generous as that offered by Transaero.

UTair

Promotion "Veteran" from UTair airlines provides the possibility of a free one-way or round-trip flight at any convenient time, once a year. The social fare applies to all regular UTair flights, both domestic and international.

Get free air ticket Disabled people and WWII veterans, as well as former minor prisoners of concentration camps, can apply. Since the promotion is year-round, there are also no restrictions on the date of registration.

A person accompanying a veteran receives a 30% discount on the air ticket price.

Regarding the absence of restrictions on travel dates and UTair flights, this is a rather generous offer

Siberia

S7 Airlines offers veterans a limited period of flights on discounted air tickets - from May 6 to May 14 inclusive. And an equally limited period for issuing this very ticket is from April 15 to May 14.

Preferential tariffs are valid only on the territory of the Russian Federation. Disabled people and WWII veterans, regardless of citizenship, but permanently residing in Russia, have the right to receive a social air ticket.

The preferential fare for a one-way air ticket on S7’s own domestic flights is 50 rubles, and a round-trip ticket is 80 rubles. For flights between the CIS and the Russian Federation - 2 euros for a one-way flight, 4 euros for a round-trip flight, the same cost for a discounted flight outside the Russian Federation. In this case, the discount applies only to the tariff. Veterans are not charged a fuel surcharge as part of the promotion, but they will still have to pay taxes and taxes.

Also provided is 75% of the economy class fare for persons accompanying a WWII veteran who is a disabled person of the first group.

In general, nothing supernatural and no stunning discounts.

Russia

Since Russia airline is part of the Aeroflot group of companies, its offer is practically no different from the conditions offered by Aeroflot airline.

That is, it is possible to issue preferential air tickets with a 100% discount from April 25 to May 12. Flights must begin between May 3 and May 12, and return must be completed by May 31 inclusive.

Disabled people and WWII veterans, former minor prisoners of concentration camps, holders of the badge “For the Defense of Leningrad” or “Resident of Siege Leningrad”, born no later than May 9, 1945, are entitled to a discount.

You can take advantage of a discounted air ticket at domestic flights"Russia", as well as on flights from St. Petersburg to the CIS and back.

The promotion applies to flights in economy class. In the presence of free seats, Cavaliers of the Order of Glory of three degrees and Heroes of the Soviet Union can take a discounted flight in business class.

The airline provides a 10% discount for accompanying persons, and a 25% discount for persons accompanying WWII group 1 or 2 disabled people.

There are no taxes or fees for the promotion.

Donavia

Donavia Airlines, being a division of Aeroflot, offers exactly the same conditions for the “Places of Military Glory” promotion.

Therefore, I will not rewrite everything again, due to the absolute lack of differences. Just return to point “2” - Aeroflot. More promotions of Donavia airline.

Izhavia

Izhavia Airlines offers veterans and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War, residents of besieged Leningrad and former prisoners of concentration camps a 100% discount on air tickets to Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Nordavia

Nordavia Airlines is Aeroflot's partner under a code-sharing agreement. The conditions of the “Places of Military Glory” promotion are therefore almost identical.

Veterans and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War (including citizens of the CIS and the Baltic states), former prisoners of concentration camps (citizens of the Russian Federation permanently residing in Russia), as well as persons awarded the badge “For the Defense of Leningrad” or “Resident of Siege Leningrad” can obtain a discounted air ticket at period from April 25 to May 12.

At the same time, the veteran will still have to pay SA and YR taxes, as well as airport taxes, on his own.

An accompanying person has the right to claim a 25% discount on fares from Y-class to N-class. But all fees must also be paid in full.

Let me remind you that Nordavia airline offers air tickets to Syktyvkar Sochi, but only as part of the summer schedule program.

OrenAir airline offers free flights from May 1 to May 15 inclusive for: WWII veterans and disabled people, former minor prisoners of concentration camps, home front workers, heroes of the Russian Federation, veterans of other military operations marked with the sign “For the Defense of Leningrad” or “Resident of Siege Leningrad” , Heroes of the Soviet Union and full holders of the Order of Glory, Heroes of Socialist Labor and full holders of the Order of Labor Glory.

MOSCOW, March 14 - RIA Novosti/Prime. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, together with those accompanying them, will be able to receive May holidays free air and Railway tickets for travel throughout the Russian Federation, as well as to the CIS and European countries, said Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich at a meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with members of the government.

Aeroflot, one of the top 20 largest air carriers in the world, was the first in Russia to begin providing veterans, disabled people of the Great Patriotic War and former concentration camp prisoners with the opportunity to travel free of charge on its flights. Over the years of this action, about 80 thousand people became its participants. In 2016, about 4.2 thousand free tickets were issued in St. Petersburg, in 2017 - almost 5.5 thousand. Practice shows that the most popular among veterans is the southern direction - Sochi, Simferopol, Anapa, Krasnodar. But there are also those who regularly fly Far East, to the CIS countries, Europe... The geography is very vast.

Veterans and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War, former minor prisoners of fascism living in Russia, the CIS countries, the Baltic states, Georgia and who are citizens of these countries, Aeroflot provides the right to free flights in economy class. The company gives business class or comfort class tickets to Heroes of the Soviet Union and full holders of the Order of Glory for flights within Russia. During the campaign, veterans and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War, as well as former minor prisoners of fascism, are given the opportunity to fly on any of the routes within Russia and between points in the countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia and points in Russia. Participants and disabled people of the Great Patriotic War are additionally given the opportunity to fly from Russia or the CIS countries/Baltic States/Georgia to some European countries, namely Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Austria and the Czech Republic.

For the last three years, the airline has been providing the opportunity to travel at its expense not only to the veterans themselves, but also to their adult accompanying persons.

“Aeroflot is carrying out this good action, which has become a glorious tradition in St. Petersburg for 17 years, entirely at its own expense,” said Alexander Rzhanenkov, Chairman of the Social Policy Committee of St. Petersburg. - It is very important for veterans to have the opportunity to visit battle sites or small homeland, meet fellow soldiers, visit your relatives or just relax. Unfortunately, today few Russian companies They hold similar events for veterans...

How to make ticketing for a veteran as comfortable as possible was discussed at a recent briefing at the media center of the St. Petersburg government. The problem actually exists: last year, about a fifth of those who took advantage of Aeroflot’s gift came to its office to buy tickets on the very first day of the promotion.

Now is the registration period travel documents- from April 24 to May 12 inclusive. From April 24, you can book tickets for the promotion by calling the Aeroflot PJSC call center at 8-800-444-55-55. The reservation is valid for 48 hours. It is possible to issue air tickets using such a reservation only at the Aeroflot central sales office on the street. Rubinstein, 1/43. There are 15 workplaces here. The office can serve 300 - 350 people per day.

Tickets can also be issued at the offices of Aeroflot partners, but only if there was no advance reservation through the company's call center.

“The most important thing is to avoid an influx of people and a nervous situation in the first days,” emphasized Vasily Naletenko, director of the branch of Aeroflot - Russian Airlines PJSC in St. Petersburg. - Over all these years, we have not had a single case where a veteran was denied a ticket due to lack of seats. So there is no need to rush to the office on the 24th and get in line early in the morning. You can come to us on the street. Rubinshtein, 1/43, or to one of the agents any day before May 12. And arrange everything calmly. Leaflets with the addresses of partner companies are already being distributed to visitors in the office on the street.

By the way, the veteran himself does not have to go and issue a ticket: this can be done by an accompanying person or one of his relatives or friends. No special powers of attorney are required. The only condition is the presence of a package of documents necessary for such a flight (passport and relevant certificates).

The period of flights during the holiday promotion is from May 3 to May 12 (inclusive) with a stay at the destination of no more than one month. That is, the latest departure date is May 12, return date is June 12. If a veteran goes on a trip, for example, on May 4, then he must return before June 4.

It is also possible to reissue a ticket for other dates or destinations:

“This often happens here: a person issues a ticket for the near future, and then realizes that he cannot fly due to health conditions, family matters, or he made a mistake with the choice of destination,” says Vasily Naletenko.

The company pays attention to the following condition: a ticket for an accompanying person can only be issued at the same time as a ticket for a veteran; they must also depart and return together. If for some reason the veteran is unable to fly on his own, the accompanying person will not be allowed on the flight.
