How to check in for a plane with a child. Flying with a child - the basic rules of airlines. Electronic registration for the aircraft

The organization of passenger air transportation is fundamentally different, for example, from travel by rail or water transport. It is not enough to buy a ticket and just show it to the employee before boarding. You need to arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure. This is necessary in order to pass check-in and subsequent checks without haste before boarding the ship.

This is what those who have not registered online look like

Check-in for a plane with an electronic ticket is possible in two ways: at the counter and online. If you choose the second option, you will not have to go to the airport long before departure and stand in line to check in, but if you are flying for the first time, it is better to go through the standard procedure. However, it is worth noting that not all passengers can check in online. Restrictions apply to the following categories:

• seriously ill people;
• disabled people;
• children under 12 without adults (service "unaccompanied child");
• passengers with animals;
• clients of travel agencies who purchased air tickets along with the tour;
• people who bought tickets for at least 9 people;
• passengers with oversized or dangerous goods.

Do not be afraid! Although this service appeared on the territory of Russia relatively recently, it is designed, firstly, relieve unnecessary burden on airport workers, Secondly, make aircraft an even more attractive mode of transport by simplifying the passage of mandatory stages. Therefore, online check-in for an aircraft is absolutely equivalent in relation to the standard procedure.

If you choose electronic check-in for the plane, you don't have to worry about your luggage. It will be enough just to hand it over immediately after arriving at the airport at the counter with the “Drop Off” sign. Remember that the online registration procedure is available around the clock, so you can go through it at any time. Another huge plus of registering on the carrier's website is that you can choose your own chair.

How to register yourself

If you are interested in how to check in for an airplane using an electronic ticket, it is much easier than it seems.

You only need to fill in a couple of fields, after which you will receive an electronic boarding pass. It must be printed and shown upon boarding.

Check-in at the airport

Check-in for a flight starts a few hours before departure, but in order not to get stuck in a traffic jam, it is better to leave for the airport in advance, especially if you are going to the airport on a weekend during rush hour. Also, please note that during the seasonal workload of airports, a large queue may form at the entrance to the airport for the initial check of passengers.

As soon as you get to the airport building, look for an electronic scoreboard and, if necessary, luggage carts.

The electronic scoreboard is usually located not far from the entrance to the airport. You need to find your flight on the scoreboard - usually the flights on the scoreboard are arranged in the order of departure. If your flight has not yet been displayed on the board, then this means that the check-in has not yet begun and you should just wait a bit. If check-in for the flight has already begun, you will see a corresponding note on the scoreboard. The numbers of check-in counters for your flight will also be indicated there. Prepare your passport, tickets and go to the check-in counters.

• check-in starts 1.5-2 hours and ends 30 minutes before departure time.

Check-in for international flights

Business Class and First Class passengers always check in at separate counters or out of line. You will be given a boarding pass at the check-in counters. It will have your seat number and exit number written on it. Your baggage will be weighed, a special tag will be glued to it and sent to the conveyor belt, and you will receive a baggage receipt.

How to check in for a flight online

Before using check-in for a flight via the Internet on the website of an airline or airport, check the start and end times of check-in. The exact opening time of online check-in can be found on the airline's website or by phone. As a rule, check-in via the Internet starts one day and ends 90 minutes before the flight departure.

During security screening at the airport, the boarding pass will be scanned from the screen of the device. The electronic boarding pass, if desired, can be printed and presented at the checkpoint.

   Attention! Not all airports in Russia have the necessary equipment for working with electronic boarding passes. In this case, you must present your printed boarding pass.

If you are traveling with luggage, you can check it in at a baggage counter specially designed for self-check-in passengers.

How to check in for a flight using a mobile phone or tablet

If your phone or tablet has the ability to work in an Internet browser, you can also check in online for an aircraft. Filling in personal data is carried out in the same way as registering using a computer. But in this case, instead of sending the boarding pass for printing, the system will send an SMS to your mobile device, which will contain a matrix (two-dimensional) barcode.

Upon arrival at the airport, during the inspection, you must present an electronic boarding pass on electronic media or in printed form.

Electronic check-in at the airport through the terminal

You can also go through electronic check-in directly at the airport, in a terminal specially designed for this. Registration is carried out by analogy with the previous options. You simply enter the required data and receive a ready-made electronic or printed boarding pass.

Currently, the online registration procedure is very popular. This service is provided by most Russian airlines, saving customers from a long check-in at the airport.

The relatively recent introduction of this service has not prevented it from gaining high demand among both domestic and transatlantic airline passengers in such a short period of time.

For most passengers who have resorted to online check-in, the following question arises: “What to do with checking in luggage upon arrival at the airport?”. It turns out that by going through online check-in, you can immediately check in your luggage, indicating the number of bags that will be taken with you on the flight. Also, many airlines provide passengers with the opportunity to pay for baggage check-in through their official websites.

The topic seems to be eternal and very confusing. However, we assure you, there is nothing complicated in it. It is worth once to understand and understand the essence, then you can even advise your loved ones about required documents when flying with children.

The main question is whether the flight is domestic or international, in other words, are you flying through the country or flying to another country.

Domestic flights

On domestic flights, you do not cross the state border, and therefore do not go through border and customs control.

A child under 12 years of age can fly only with an accompaniment of an adult passenger (that is, an adult or a citizen who legally acquired full legal capacity before the age of majority, hereinafter referred to as the “adult passenger”). The degree of relationship with the child does not matter. On domestic flights, a child can fly with any adult passenger. No permission from parents or anyone else is needed.

Over 12 years old, a child can fly on his own, without any accompaniment.

Required documents:

Regardless of whether the child is flying with or without an escort, when flying, he needs to have an original identity document with him:

• Child's birth certificate - for children under 14;
• Internal passport of the Russian Federation - for children over 14 years old;
• Temporary identity document - if instead of a birth certificate or passport, the child was issued a temporary identity document.

It's important to know! You must check in for the flight and board the aircraft, presenting exactly the document for which the ticket was purchased. It is a common case when, when issuing a ticket, you indicated the data of one document, and you are going to fly, presenting another identity document. In such cases, you need to contact the airline in advance to enter the data of the new document into the ticket. The airline is required to do so.

1. Can I board a plane with a color copy instead of a child's birth certificate?

No! Original required. However, if you have some kind of emergency and there is no other way out, try contacting the airline. Since this is a domestic flight, you do not cross the border, it is up to the airline to let you on board or not. Perhaps they will go along with you.

2. The child has a foreign passport, is it possible to issue a ticket for a domestic flight, indicating his data?

A foreign passport certifies the identity of a person abroad. Whether it can be used for domestic flights or not is not regulated anywhere. In practice, there are many such cases. If, when booking, the system provides the opportunity to select a passport as a document, then you can choose. For your peace of mind, you can additionally call the airline and clarify. So the answer is rather yes.

3. When buying a ticket, the child was not 14 years old, so the ticket was issued on a birth certificate. But when he leaves, he already has a passport. How to be?

After receiving your passport, you must definitely contact the airline with a request to enter the passport data into the ticket. They are required to do so. You need to fly by presenting the child's passport, with a birth certificate you will not be allowed on board.

4. The child is 14 years old, but he has not yet had time to get a passport. Can I fly with a birth certificate?

No. On the day after the birthday, the birth certificate ceases to be a document proving the identity of the child. Within 30 days after turning 14, you must apply for a passport. If you were issued a temporary identity document by the relevant authority prior to receiving your passport, you can issue a ticket for this document and present it at check-in and boarding the aircraft. If you bought a ticket with your birth certificate in advance, and plan to board the plane with a temporary identity document, then, as in the previous example, you should contact the airline in advance with a request to enter the data of the new document into the ticket. The airline is required to do so.

International flights

On international flights, everything is much more complicated, since you cross the state border of the Russian Federation. You must have not only the documents necessary for registration and boarding the plane, but also the documents for passing the border control.

We note right away that a citizen of the Russian Federation, regardless of age, can go abroad only with a foreign passport. That is, the child must also have a foreign passport. When booking, tickets are issued on the passport. It is not possible to fly abroad with a birth certificate, internal passport or other non-identifying document abroad.

Before reaching the age of majority, a citizen of the Russian Federation can fly abroad:

• When accompanied by at least one of the parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees;
• When accompanied by another person or independently with a notarized consent to his departure from at least one of the parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees.

Important! The child can leave only if the other parent (adoptive parent, guardian or custodian) has not declared in advance his disagreement with the child's departure. If there is such a ban, then the issue of departure is decided by the court.

Let us also remind you that it is obligatory to accompany a child during the flight only up to 12 years.

So, we list all the possible options for traveling with a child.

1. One of the parents can fly with a child (no matter how old) abroad. The consent of the other parent is not required for this, even if the parents are divorced. A child cannot go abroad only if the other parent has previously declared his/her disagreement with the child's departure in accordance with the procedure established by law.

Required documents:

• A document proving your relationship with the child, namely, the birth certificate of the child, where your data is indicated as a parent exactly as they are indicated in your passport;
• If your data in the child's birth certificate does not match the data in your own passport (for example, you changed your last name), you must also have a document confirming the fact of changing your full name. This often happens when a woman, after giving birth to a child, marries and takes her husband's surname. The child has one surname, and the mother has a different surname. In this case, you need to have a marriage certificate with you, which indicates the fact of a change in surname. In any other cases of change of full name, you must have with you the appropriate document confirming the fact of the change.

2. In the case of adoptive parents, guardians and trustees, the rule is the same. One of the adoptive parents (guardians, custodians) can travel abroad with the child without the consent of the other adoptive parent (guardian, custodian), but only if the other adoptive parent (guardian, custodian) has not legally introduced a travel ban in advance child.

Required documents:

• Foreign passports for yourself and the child;
• A document confirming adoption, guardianship or guardianship, in which the full name matches the full name of your passport;
• As in the previous case, if you changed your full name after adoption (guardianship or guardianship), you must present a document confirming the change in full name;
• Additionally, it would not hurt to have a child's birth certificate with you.

3. A child can travel abroad accompanied by any other person (grandmother, uncle, just an acquaintance, etc.) only if there is a notarized consent of at least one of the parents (adoptive parents, guardians, trustees) for the child to travel abroad, and only if the other parent (adoptive parent, guardian or custodian) has not previously declared a ban on the departure of the child. Formally, a child crosses the border on his own, but if he is under 12 years old, he has no right to board without an adult.

Required documents:

• Foreign passport of the child;

4. A child who has reached the age of 12 may fly abroad independently if there is a notarized consent of at least one of the parents (adoptive parents, guardians, trustees) for the child to travel abroad, and only if the other parent (adoptive parent, guardian or custodian) has not been declared a ban on the departure of the child in advance.

Required documents:

• Foreign passport of the child;
• Notarized consent of at least one of the parents (adoptive parents, guardians, trustees) to the departure of the child, indicating the date of departure and the state (states) that he/she is going to visit.

Some subtleties and practical examples.

1. The child is not a citizen of the Russian Federation, what documents are needed to leave Russia?

In general cases, you need the same documents with which you entered the Russian Federation. In difficult cases, contact the consular section of the embassy of the country of which the child is a citizen.

2. I am a citizen of Ukraine, and my child is a citizen of the Russian Federation. Do I need to get a passport for him?

A child citizen of the Russian Federation must have a passport to leave the Russian Federation. In addition, you must have documents confirming that you are the parent of the child.

It should be noted that in this article we have only touched upon the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation. But to enter the country you are going to or the country through which you are going to a third country, additional documents (such as visas) may be required.
