S7 registration ends. Electronic check-in for flights. Self check-in kiosks
Just a few years ago, the now well-known airline S7 bore the proud name “Siberia”. Today Siberian Airlines or S 7 is one of the best airlines in Russia. The headquarters of S 7 airlines is located in the Novosibirsk region, the city of Ob, has Tolmachevo airport as its base, and uses airports in Irkutsk and Moscow as regional hubs. The airline has the largest network of domestic routes across Russia and neighboring countries. S 7 airlines is a member of the aviation alliance OneWorld, which is the third largest.
In contact with
Perhaps the most striking distinctive feature of the airline is its recognizable style and rich colors, which are used everywhere, from advertising and flight attendant uniforms to the design of S7 aircraft. Reviews show how important the memorable ambiance of a company is.
Check-in for the flight is carried out both at the airport and online. At home, you can check in for your flight 30 hours before departure. Registration ends, as in most cases, 50 minutes before departure. For maximum customer convenience The company launched a special mobile application S 7 Mobile. Using the program you can:
Thus, if you download the application to your phone, you can avoid standing in line and spend the saved time on a cup of coffee at the airport or a walk through Duty Free.
At Tolmachevo Airport, check-in for flights begins 3 hours before departure, in Moscow Domodedovo 23 hours, and in foreign or other Russian airports mainly 2 hours before the plane’s departure. Registration usually ends 40–50 minutes before the aircraft departs for the flight.
In Domodedovo the entire zone, where check-in for S 7 airlines is carried out, is decorated in the signature bright color of spring green. By the same sign you can recognize kiosks for self-check-in for S 7 airlines flights. This function is very convenient for passengers traveling lightly, that is, with only hand luggage. To avoid misunderstandings and omissions, when booking a ticket, you should carefully read the check-in and baggage rules on the company’s official website.
Baggage allowance and excess fees
On S 7 Airlines flights, free baggage allowance is provided, which does not exceed the established limit of 20 kg. This applies to economy class passengers; business class clients can transport up to 30 kg of luggage absolutely free. However, one bag must weigh no more than 23 kg. An economy class passenger can take hand luggage into the aircraft cabin with dimensions of no more than 55x40x20 cm and weighing up to 7 kg; a business class passenger has the right to the same luggage dimensions, but in double volume, that is, they can take up 2 luggage spaces on board.
Depending on the direction and duration of the flight, the cost of additional baggage may vary, that is, above the norm. Payment can be made at the check-in counter or online on the airline's website. To avoid problems and misunderstandings, before checking in luggage and boarding, it is recommended to clarify the rules on the company’s website.
On board the aircraft
Airline customers have the right for a free seat selection on the plane. The service is available both at and at the self-check-in kiosk for S 7 Airlines flights, which are located at almost all major airports in the country. The company is proud to own the most modern aircraft fleet in the Russian Federation. All aircraft are equipped with comfortable wide seats and a modern security system. Safety is the company's priority.
When check-in and boarding are over, all that remains is to enjoy the flight. The ship's crew will do everything for a comfortable flight, offer lunch and drinks, and provide warm blankets if necessary.
What is included in the ticket price
The standard ticket price includes tax and fuel surcharges, baggage, hand luggage, and meals. Lunch is not offered unless a short flight, for example, from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod or St. Petersburg.
Reviews
Numerous reviews about the air carrier say about the convenience of booking a ticket on the website, fast check-in, quality service and loyal conditions for baggage transportation. Most passengers are satisfied and become regular customers of S7 Airlines.
I read a lot of reviews about this airline, and also once came across the history of its creation on Wikipedia. Well, it's time to fly with them. Usually I buy tickets to the Bulgarian route from another company, but this time I liked the S7 more for the price. Generally speaking, everything was at the highest level, although the plane itself seemed very fragile to me and creaked somehow unusually during takeoff and landing. Now some details:
- Aircraft condition. Externally, the plane really stands out from the “crowd” of its fellows, it’s very bright and interesting, just like a dream for children. The salon itself was a pleasant surprise: wide comfortable seats, new upholstery, wide aisles. The cabin is divided into business class and economy class.
- Nutrition. Never in all 8 years of flying have I seen such a powerful breakfast on board an airplane. Firstly, it was hot, which is not typical for breakfasts. Secondly, it consisted not only of the usual sandwich, but of a serious dish of your choice (rice with sauce with vegetables or mashed potatoes with chicken and vegetables), a muffin, butter, confiture, a triangle “President” and fruit salad. With such feeding, passengers of both sexes were satisfied.
- Flight quality. The pilot coped with his task with a bang, despite the terrible crash during takeoff and landing. Somehow we didn't experience any turbulence and glide smoothly through the air. Special thanks to the crew for making my flight as comfortable and calm as possible.
I can’t help but touch on the interesting uniform of the flight attendants, it’s very remarkable - crimson dresses, shirts with small polka dots and a green bow.
Thanks to everyone who works for the glory of S7 Airlines, good luck and many years of prosperity to you.

This year, like last year and the year before, we went on a trip with our family. This time we chose for ourselves. Since last year for some reason we experimented with choosing a site for buying tickets, this time the site, as well as the company, were verified - from Seven, the official website of Siberian Airlines.
There are no planes flying from our city to Cyprus; we always fly from Moscow. This time, at the time indicated on the ticket, we stood at the boarding gate at Domodedovo airport. There were no problems with check-in for the flight; we walked along the ramp calmly, without rushing, everything was orderly and civilized. At the airport we were met by the crew of the aircraft in an interesting uniform and the plane itself, which, by the way, stood out among all the others even in the airport window: a bright, juicy green color with red inscriptions.
The cabin, in which we had to fly for several hours, pleased us no less than the exterior:
- wide passage - a large lady with a suitcase and bag can pass freely;
- the wide seats are, of course, not the same as in business class, but the same large lady fits perfectly;
- condition of the interior - leatherette seats, not dented or worn, cleanliness and order between the seats and in the pockets;
- service on board - before departure they handed out wet wipes, brought water or juice to those who wanted it, the crew was smiling and inspiring confidence;
- delicious and satisfying lunch - breakfast and lunch were waiting for us during the flight, everything was very tasty and, without having time to digest the capacious breakfast, we were offered lunch that barely fit on the table;
- the flight was very smooth, with slight turbulence, so I can give the pilots 6 points out of 5 possible; we have never had such a calm trip.
I really liked the company, despite some negative reviews. If you want your flight to be as calm as possible, buy tickets from S7 airlines.

Usually I travel from Rostov-on-Don to Moscow by bus, but it so happened that this time I was pressed for time and had to get to Domodedovo by 11 a.m. at the latest, since I had to stop by the embassy before my flight. I arrived at Rostov airport at 3 a.m. and the first thing I did was look at the departure/arrival board, which showed in red total delays of flights to Moscow (I have no idea what this was connected with, but certainly not with the weather). Total - these are 3 flights, from 3 to 6 hours of delay for each. I was very pleasantly surprised and more or less reassured that my S7 was listed without delay, on schedule, at 6 am. For the remaining 3 hours I didn’t take my eyes off the scoreboard.
The plane was prepared minute by minute, with the fastest possible landing. I would like to note the extreme friendliness of the woman at the check-in desk, who gave me a seat by the window, also near the wide emergency exit, and closed her eyes with almost a kilogram of carry-on luggage. The female flight attendants are smiling and efficient, hello and goodbye to everyone.
During the flight, everyone was offered breakfast: a tasty and fairly large sandwich with red fish, a piece of biscuit with fruit, tea, coffee, water, juice. More than enough for a three hour flight.
My little journey went, as they say, without a hitch. From check-in until the soft landing, I didn’t feel the slightest nervousness; even the turbulence passed us by. I would like to express my gratitude to Siberian Airlines and wish them further prosperity.

Flights require a special approach to travel planning. After all, it is not enough for a passenger to purchase an air ticket and present it upon boarding. Here the client arrives at the airport two to three hours before the plane departs to check in and check in luggage. However, today a convenient alternative to the classical control procedure has appeared. Let's talk in more detail about how to register for a plane via the Internet and consider the nuances of this innovation.
Airlines offer customers several ways to purchase tickets. The classic and familiar option for citizens is to buy an air ticket at the carrier’s ticket office. However, such situations involve waiting in line and some inconvenience for the person. Modern technical capabilities allow the passenger to undergo the maximum number of necessary procedures without leaving the apartment. To do this, you will have to use special online services to book a seat on the plane and register online.
Moreover, travelers note that there are several ways to order a flight. The booking service is available on the carrier’s website, the airport portal or in special search services - aggregators. The passenger independently chooses the appropriate option, focusing on his personal financial situation and preferences. The booking procedure is quite simple: the client makes a request for a specific flight and leaves a contact e-mail, and the itinerary receipt arrives at the specified address.
This method is convenient because the information you provided to the airline remains in the carrier’s database. Accordingly, the loss of a printout does not become a problem, since the information can be restored in a matter of minutes.
However, it will require attention and accuracy. To register correctly online, it is appropriate to familiarize yourself with the airline’s rules in advance and study the purchased ticket. It is important to pay attention to the procedure for passing control. These criteria determine the weight of the luggage and the number of passengers on board according to the itinerary receipt. In addition, the time is affected by the overall load of the airlines. When flying within Russia, you can manage it in 1.5 hours, but traveling overseas will take more time.
Keep in mind that when purchasing an air ticket, it is advisable for a passenger to find a diagram of the aircraft cabin in order to choose the best seat for a comfortable flight. Such layouts contain a detailed indication of the location of technical blocks and emergency exits, so it is not difficult to navigate here. In addition, when reserving seats, indicate how much hand luggage you are carrying and the weight of the luggage that will fly in the luggage compartment. Typically, in itinerary receipts, the carrier indicates the permissible weight of the passenger’s luggage and the current restrictions.
Options for purchasing tickets and flight details
The service of completing the registration procedure online has recently appeared in the country. Firstly, such a system simplifies the work of airlines and attracts people to travel by plane. Secondly, it is easier for clients to fill out travel details online - this significantly saves time and saves people from unnecessary inconvenience.
If you intend to complete all procedures online, here you will be able to avoid a trip to the airport three hours before departure to check in. But for passengers flying for the first time, it is still advisable to go to the airport terminal. In addition, airlines limit the list of citizens to whom electronic check-in is available. The lists included the following categories:
- people with serious illnesses;
- passengers with disabilities;
- schoolchildren under twelve years of age unaccompanied by adults;
- citizens who purchased air tickets through a travel agency;
- flights in a group of more than 9 people;
- people with excess baggage or dangerous substances.
If you decide to check in online, you don’t have to worry about your luggage. Here you just need to present your luggage at the airport at the counter marked Drop Off. Moreover, passing this type of control will be possible at a time convenient for the passenger. Another positive aspect of self-registration online is the choice of a comfortable seat in a relaxed home environment and without haste.
Going through the procedure
The actual process is unlikely to be difficult. All you need here is a printout of the itinerary receipt and the passenger’s passport. To issue a boarding pass, the encoding of the ticket and flight number will be useful. After filling out the empty fields, the service will offer an electronic version of the boarding pass, which the client prints out and presents at the airport control. Moreover, the things that the passenger takes into the cabin are not registered. But here it is advisable to keep within the weight of travel bags recommended by the carrier.
There are virtually no differences in online check-in between different airlines. But there are still some features that you need to know. Let's look at the details of what check-in for an S7 flight is. How many hours before departure will it be possible to arrange a trip, the specifics of the procedure and other similar nuances we will study below.
Details based on specific airlines
It is appropriate to study all the nuances regarding registration on the official portal of the airline. For S7 Group, just follow this link. A direct link to the online registration portal is located. The service becomes available thirty hours before takeoff, and the function blocks the ability to register in the last 50 minutes before the plane departs. To ensure that clients have time to drop off their belongings, it is advisable to arrive at the airport 45 minutes before the stated departure time.
Registration for flight “S7” using an electronic ticket number follows certain regulations. Let's look at the step-by-step procedure for registering passengers. The instructions look like this:
- Open the “Check-in for flight” tab on the main page of the site.. Enter the airline ticket or reservation code.
- We indicate the initials and check the correct spelling of the itinerary sheet with the passport. Please note that information about yourself is entered in Latin font. Click “Register”.
- We put marks next to the names of travelers and select a flight. We clarify information about items prohibited for transportation and compare the data with the actual luggage. When you have checked all the information, click “Continue”.
After completing these steps, you are registered in the airline's system. The seat is determined automatically. If you are not satisfied with the chair that the company has selected, click the “change” button next to it and . For S7 Priority status members, changing your seat is a free service. For other users, the cost of the service is regulated according to the company’s tariffs.
Changing the passenger seat and getting ready to board
Check out the interior layout. The seats marked in gray have already been reserved by other people. The selection is available from places that are marked in white. Select a suitable chair and press the “Save and Continue” button. While the application is open, the client has the right to change his mind and change his choice within seven to eight hours before the end of the procedure. To see the layout of the aircraft, click the “Change” button next to the column where the location is indicated. However, making changes will require additional payment if the current tariff allows for it.
Selecting seats is a mandatory step in online registration
Arrive at the airport with a printed coupon 45 minutes before departure - this will allow you to calmly resolve issues with your luggage. Give your luggage to the special “Baggage Reception” point. At airports, this area has different names or items are accepted at a common counter. Next, go to the pre-flight hall.
It is advisable to save the ticket in pdf format in order to send the data by email at any time. You can also print your booked ticket at the airport terminals or near the counter where passengers are checked in.
Airline employees advise printing the coupon at home or at special organizations that offer a similar service. A good solution is to duplicate information by transferring the data to an electronic drive. In the same way, you will be able to check in for a flight with Russia or other airlines - here you will have to install a special application for a specific carrier and follow the instructions provided. More details about this in the video below.
Don't forget to read the baggage transportation conditions to avoid possible problems upon boarding. Online registration becomes unavailable if changes are made within the last 22 hours before takeoff. When a passenger checks in, he checks and, if necessary, corrects information that does not correspond to the traveler's passport data. Such changes are available until the registration deadline.
When registering online, the passenger only needs to arrive 45 minutes before departure to check in and check in luggage
If you receive a boarding pass at the airport, you will need to receive the paper before check-in closes, at least 40 minutes before takeoff. When you check in your luggage, the airport employee determines the weight of the luggage and transfers the items for further inspection. The line moves quite quickly at this counter. If you are traveling for a short time and only have carry-on luggage, the check procedures will take a minimum of time.
If you plan to check in on the spot, you will have to arrive at the airport a few hours before takeoff. You don’t spend a lot of time online, and it’s enough to arrive at the airport 40 minutes before takeoff. Information on how to check in for a flight using an electronic ticket via the Internet will be useful for people who fly frequently and try to keep up with the times.
