Rules for applying tariffs

General terms

The new rules come into force on November 1, 2016. The old Fare Rules apply to all tickets purchased before this date.

When purchasing an air ticket, we recommend that you clarify the rules for applying the fare in the contact center or sales offices before paying for transportation. Aeroflot PJSC reserves the right to make changes to the conditions for applying tariffs. However, if the carriage has been paid for, then such changes do not apply to this carriage.

A route can be priced in one or more price units. A price unit is a route or part of a route, transportation along which can be issued with a separate ticket.

Free legal advice:

If carriage has been booked in different classes of service or with a combination of fares with different rules of application (on routes with special conditions for the application of fares) on a round trip journey within the same price unit, then the fare rules with more stringent restrictions regarding the duration of the carriage obligation, the return of freight charges and the introduction of changes to the issued carriage at the same time on round-trip sections.

If the route is priced by two or more price units, then when registering transportation, the tariffs, fees and conditions for applying the tariff established on the date of commencement of transportation are applied separately for each price unit. The carriage of a passenger, valued by one price unit or a combination of price units, is formalized in a single contract for the carriage of passengers by air.

Combining fares with different codes is only permitted within the same fare group.

Ticket re-issuance is possible only within the same fare group, and the new fare level must not be lower than the originally paid one. Within the framework of fares with the code prefix YFM, YFO, JFM, JFO, WFM, WFO, it is possible to reissue an air ticket with a reduction in the level of the originally paid fare.

On some routes for the same fare code, depending on the date of transportation (seasonality), different cost levels may be established.

Free legal advice:

When returning a partially used ticket (if permitted by the fare conditions), the difference between the paid fare and the fare for the actually completed part of the route is returned (only a fare within the same fare group is allowed to be used), and the fee established by the rules of the applied fare is also withheld.

Re-issuance of an issued ticket to another person is not permitted.

The conditions apply to fares for transportation on regular flights of Aeroflot PJSC and code-share flights of Aeroflot PJSC operated by the following airlines: Aurora, Rossiya. For flights operated by other carriers under existing codeshare agreements for joint operation of flights, conditions may differ.

The currency of collection of the fee specified in the rules for applying tariffs is determined by the direction of transportation.

Payment of tariffs and fees indicated in foreign currency on the territory of the Russian Federation is made in rubles at the system rate calculated based on the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Currency rates for payment are updated weekly on Wednesdays.

Free legal advice:

Bonus miles are accrued under the Aeroflot Bonus program in accordance with the rules and conditions of the Aeroflot Bonus program.

For air tickets issued under a special program to assist passengers urgently in need of a flight in difficult life situations (fare codes EMED/EBRV), the conditions of the “BUDGET” Economy class fare group apply.

Explanation of fares and booking classes at Aeroflot

The largest Russian airline, Aeroflot, organizes flights to more than 132 destinations. The fleet size is 193 aircraft, whose age does not exceed 4 years. Aeroflot is constantly working to improve the quality of customer service. Ticket prices are calculated in such a way that people with different budgets can afford them.

The company offers several tariffs that provide a specific set of services. These are Business, Comfort and Economy. They, in turn, are divided into Premium, Optimum, Budget and Promo. The breakdown of Aeroflot tariffs will be discussed in this article. Their choice affects what class of service you will be provided on board the airliner.

Review of tariffs

The most favorable tariff, at which the passenger has the right to the maximum number of services, is Business Premium. Change the departure date, refund the ticket fee, make changes to an existing reservation - all this can be done if you purchase tickets at this rate.

There is also Business Optimum. It is similar to the first one, but the number of advantages is much less. For date changes, etc. It is possible only with a deduction of a certain amount or with an additional payment.

For both of them, you can take two suitcases weighing 32 kg each in your luggage and one bag weighing up to 15 kg in your hand luggage. Before departure, you can use the Business Class lounge, quickly receive your luggage and be the first to leave the plane. They will also serve you during registration without queues.

Examples of codes for this tariff are JFM, DFM, IFM, CCO, etc.

Comfort has the same two subsections - Premium and Optimum. Their characteristics are similar to those listed above. The difference is in the weight of the luggage. You can take two suitcases with you, but each weighs 23 kg. You are allowed to take one bag up to 10 kg in hand luggage.

You won't be able to board the plane first or claim your luggage right away. Only Business Class passengers enjoy these privileges.

The codes for these tariffs may be: WFM, SFO, ACO, AFM, etc.

For Economy tariffs can be the following - Premium, Optimum, Budget and Promo. Premium comes with the widest privileges. You will be able to change your departure date and have the right to two pieces of baggage each up to 23 kg.

Aeroflot Economy Class N may be indicated on tickets. To understand what tariff this is, look at the next two letters that follow it. If FM or FO, then it is Premium. CL or CO is Optimum, and VU and VO are Budget. Same thing with Economy Class E.

The last one is the cheapest - Promo. Buying tickets on it is very difficult. The company provides passengers with the opportunity to purchase a limited number of them and within a certain, short period of time. More information on how you can purchase tickets at the Promo rate can be found in this article.

What kind of Aeroflot Economy Class “Promo” tariff is this? It is designated by its unique codes - RSX and RSO. If you participate in the company's bonus program, you will only receive 25%. Can only be combined with the same rate. There are no restrictions on luggage and hand luggage. You can make changes to your order, but only with an additional payment.

Tariffs for Aeroflot airline booking classes

Travelers who fly more or less frequently with the largest Russian airline are able to instantly decipher air ticket data without spending much effort. For them, booking data, time and date of departure, comfort class and its cost are in specially designated columns, the location of which is well known.

People who rarely use the services of air carriers usually get lost in a large number of numbers, not understanding where the information about a particular flight and its price is indicated. In fact, the problem has a fairly simple solution; you only need to spend a little time once, studying the flight rules for a particular class and correlating the information received with the air ticket data.

You can purchase a plane ticket in various ways: buy a paper version at ticket offices, book and pay on the official website of the air carrier or through search engines optimized for selecting the desired flights of all airlines. In any case, you should first study the terms of the tariff, which outline the actions that the passenger and the air carrier have the right to take.

The rules of any airline always describe in detail the procedures for purchasing, booking, checking in for a flight, boarding a plane, exchanging and returning tickets of all comfort classes. It is recommended that you read the information, since most clients purchase budget air tickets. The disadvantage of such flights is that the range of possibilities provided to the passenger is significantly narrowed, so the low price of the flight is not always justified - in an unforeseen situation, you can simply lose all the money paid to the airline.

At the same time, it is not necessary to buy seats exclusively in business class, but if possible, it is better to ignore the cheapest plane tickets. Aeroflot airline has the following tariff schedule:

1. Division of classes in the “economy” group:

All classes are individually designated using letters. Among them, there are several categories that are in greater demand than others.

Terms of purchase of the "economy-promo" class

The most budget fare available at Aeroflot airline is suitable, for example, for students. The cost of air tickets is as low and affordable as possible, however, the passenger cannot choose almost any conditions other than the destination. Even the departure and return dates are selected from those proposed by the air carrier. As a rule, such flights are scheduled for the least profitable days and months. The date of the return flight is necessarily fixed, usually falling on Sundays.

The tariff applies to international flights. Flights within Russia have slightly different conditions. A passenger can only stay in the city of arrival for a month. Aeroflot airlines have long introduced a cumulative system of bonus miles. Having flown a certain number of hundreds of miles, the client has the right to demand a free flight or a significant reduction in the price of the air ticket. The website lists flights and bonus miles that are different for all classes. The “economy-promo” group allows you to accrue 25% of the total length of the route.

Flights at this fare are only direct; it is impossible to buy flights with transfers to explore other cities and countries. The option of changing the comfort class to a higher one does not work here either - the client will not be able to pay for the service either with miles or real money. You can return your ticket, but subject to the following conditions:

Cancellation of a flight 24 hours or more in advance will result in a fine of 25 euros.
It is possible to return a plane ticket in less than 24 hours only by paying a commission in the amount of 25% of the full price of the ticket and the same service fee of 25 euros.
A ticket cannot be refunded immediately before departure.
For domestic flights, it is possible to change several flight criteria by paying a fine of 2 to 4 thousand rubles. Changing the conditions of an international flight will cost the client approximately 100 euros. Air tickets for children under two years old with arrival points located in other countries will cost only 10% of the full fare. Older children fly at full price. If a flight with a child aged 0-2 years takes place within the Russian Federation, then the child is entitled to a free flight. For a child under 12 years old, you will have to buy a flight ticket, but at 75% of the price.

Tariff "economy-optimum" and its possibilities

The largest number of tickets for Aeroflot airliners are sold at this tariff. The high demand is explained by the optimal ratio of price and the range of services offered. With a relatively low cost of the flight, the service package is more extensive compared to the most budget fare. The return departure date is also fixed, and the choice of dates is limited, but the passenger is not limited by the month of stay in the country or city - the return date can be delayed by six months.

It will also be much faster to accumulate miles with this tariff, because the increase percentage will be 150%. The flight can be made with connections in other localities, no matter whether they are in Russia or abroad. The comfort class can be upgraded to a higher one, for example, based on accumulated miles, however, you must first check the conditions for a particular flight, as they vary. The conditions for canceling a flight are quite lenient:

When returning an air ticket one day or more in advance, the passenger will pay a service fee of 25 euros for foreign flights and 900 rubles for domestic flights.
If there are less than 24 hours left before departure, only a quarter of the cost of the air ticket will be deducted without a service fee.
Once check-in is completed and boarding is announced, the ticket cannot be refunded.
Exchanging a ticket for flights will require an additional payment of 50 euros; a fine of 100 euros applies only to flights to the United States of America. The benefits and travel conditions for children aged 0-2 years are similar to the previous fare discussed, with one caveat: a child over 2 years old flying without an adult accompanying person will not receive discounts, and the flight will cost the same as for adults.

Business class flight in the "status" category

The most expensive of all Aeroflot airline fares, which is preferred by wealthy citizens whose income allows them to spend decent amounts on air tickets. Of course, the package of services provided for VIP passengers includes all possible conditions, including an indefinite return flight date. The percentage of bonus miles reaches 200.

Staying in the city of arrival is allowed for up to 12 months, and you can get there directly or in transit with any transfer options.

Conclusion

For the first time I flew in Aeroflot comfort class. Previously, I tried to fly business class for long distances, but the crisis forced me to tighten my belt. In the case of Shanghai, the math is very simple. An economy class ticket cost 25,000 rubles, a comfort class ticket cost 60,000 rubles, and a business class ticket cost 130,000 rubles. And I still remember the times when for 50,000 you could buy an Aeroflot business class in Tokyo! I will tell the children.

Here we need to make a small insert. My old rich friend Leva from New York flew to China to visit me. The same Leva who works at Google and told you about why he loves America. So, while I was saving, Leva decided to show off and flew to China first class Cathay Pacific. A ticket there, by the way, costs almost 1,300,000 rubles (one million three hundred thousand) ONE END! Yes, and no discounts. This is how ordinary employees of the evil corporation, Google, live. Leva generally loves to boo. For example, in Shanghai he rented a suite at the Park Hyatt, one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. Why in it? Firstly, the Google office is located there, and it will be convenient for Leva to go down to work in slippers after breakfast, and secondly, there are discounts for Google employees there (3%, it seems).

I’ll tell you more about Leva, who is basking in luxury, but for now, read whether it’s worth flying Aeroflot comfort class.

01. So, Aeroflot's new Boeing 777s have a comfort class cabin. It is located between business and economy classes.

Comfort passengers are not entitled to any special privileges before boarding, except perhaps an increased baggage allowance. Check-in is at the economy counters, there is no priority boarding, the business lounge will also be closed to you. So don’t flatter yourself, before the flight you will be like a mere mortal.

02. What's next? Next are the unusual chairs. This is a hard cocoon, that is, the back is fixed. This is a plus, since neighbors in front and behind will not bother you. No one will lean back on you, no one will hit you in the back.

03. There is also an increased distance between the seats, 97 cm. This is approximately the same as in economy at the emergency exit. That is, you can fully extend your legs forward, and your knees will not rest against the front seat.

04. There is a footrest.

05. But you won’t be able to sleep normally. The seat back in the comfort class does not recline. The seat moves forward, and the back simply slides down the cocoon. Look, I completely unfolded one chair, but not the other. There is practically no difference. I would say that it is even more comfortable to sleep in economy. In addition, the armrests also do not rise, so even if you are flying in a half-empty cabin, this will not allow you to grab free seats and sleep.

06. Another plus is a very large table. It's even bigger than business class. The table can easily accommodate two trays or a laptop and a tray of food. You can put papers, a tablet, a laptop on the table and work. This is the main advantage of the comfort class.

07. Working here is a pleasure!

08. Another big plus is that there is a 220V socket and USB.

09. Workplace for 8 hours.

10. By the way, the chair is a little wider than in the economy one, 49 centimeters. In addition, there is a wide armrest between the seats, so that both passengers can use it without disturbing each other.

11. Comfort class passengers are given a welcome drink, but only water or juice. In business, champagne is added to them. By the way, on domestic flights Aeroflot began to bottle donkey urine instead of normal champagne. They found the cheapest Russian sparkling wine at 200 rubles per bottle and are trying to treat passengers with it. International ones are better.

12. Comfort class passengers are not entitled to an amenity kit. Instead, they only give you uncomfortable slippers and a blindfold.

13. And here is the most unpleasant thing. Alcohol is not served in comfort class! Some kind of hellish redneck of Aeroflot. That is, they give you a bottle of wine on some flights, but most comfort class flights are alcohol-free! Saved on a bottle of wine. However, you can’t even buy alcohol. I don’t understand Aeroflot’s policy at all. In business class they pour as much as you want, you can eat shit. Let’s say you don’t want to bother with a huge economy, and they don’t fill it there. But why was the comfort class passengers, who paid a lot of money for the ticket, deprived of the joy of libations? European airlines provide wine or beer even in economy on short flights. But Aeroflot decided to enforce prohibition. So bring your booze with you;) It’s not for me to teach you. For this, Aeroflot receives a huge minus.

14. Shanghai flight menu

15. Looks delicious.

16. But in reality - nothing special.

17. Food is a mixture of economy and business. Appetizers and dessert are from the economy menu, but the main course is on a glass plate, just like in business class. True, they don’t give you soup) But the cutlery is metal and the napkin is normal.

18. Regular economy snacks.

19. Chicken. Quality is a C grade. In general, it is not clear why Aeroflot positions food as business class; it falls short.

At this moment I can’t help but remember Leva. They served him a jar of black caviar as a snack... It's good to work at Google.

20. Each chair has a built-in monitor with movies and other entertainment. The films are fresh, so if you forgot to download them to your tablet, you won’t be bored on the road. There is a USB socket.

21. To summarize. In general, the comfort class turned out to be quite good. This is an improved economy. If you have a day flight and want to work normally for 8-10 hours and save money, then I would fly quietly in comfort instead of business. There are conditions for working there (except alcohol). But if the flight is at night and you want to get a good night’s sleep, then there are no alternatives to business class yet. If there is no money for business class, then I would probably take economy, there is a chance to occupy several seats if the flight is not full, and sleep well.

Within one class of air tickets (business or economy) there is a division by fare type. 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 terms of ticket return and exchange, the size of the discount for children, and the validity period of the ticket. The conditions for applying the fare determine the amount of the fine for returning a ticket, the specifics of calculations when changing different sections of the route, and the ability to make changes to the route, for example, changing the passenger’s name or departure date.

Fares are indicated on 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
Fare markings on most airlines	Y, B	M, H, N	G, K, L, O, Q, S, T, U, V, W, X
Ticket validity period	180-365 days	30-180 days
Open date	Allowed	Prohibited	Prohibited
Ticket refund before departure	No penalty	With a fine	Prohibited
Refund of a ticket in case of no-show for a flight	No penalty	With a fine	Prohibited
Exchange your ticket before departure	No penalty	With a fine	With a fine
Exchange of a ticket in case of no-show for a flight	No penalty	Prohibited	Prohibited

In addition, some plans may have additional restrictions. Such as, for example, the ability to choose a seat in the cabin during check-in. And lastly, different amounts of bonus miles are awarded for different tariffs.

The conditions on board will be the same regardless of the chosen fare, and the price difference may vary by 7 times. So the conclusion is simple: if you are sure that plans will not change, take the cheapest tariff.

1. Division of classes in the “economy” group:

promo;
budget;
optimum;
status.

2. Business class is divided into:

optimum;
status.

All classes are individually designated using letters. Among them, there are several categories that are in greater demand than others.

The most budget fare available at Aeroflot airline is suitable, for example. The cost of air tickets is as low and affordable as possible, however, the passenger cannot choose almost any conditions other than the destination. Even the departure and return dates are selected from those proposed by the air carrier. As a rule, such flights are scheduled for the least profitable days and months. The date of the return flight is necessarily fixed, usually falling on a Sunday.

Cancellation of a flight 24 hours or more in advance will result in a fine of 25 euros.
It is possible to return a plane ticket in less than 24 hours only by paying a commission in the amount of 25% of the full price of the ticket and the same service fee of 25 euros.
A ticket cannot be refunded immediately before departure.
For domestic flights, it is possible to change several flight criteria by paying a fine of 2 to 4 thousand rubles. Changing the conditions of an international flight will cost the client approximately 100 euros. Air tickets for children under two years old with arrival points located in other countries will cost only 10% of the full fare. Older children fly at full price. If a flight with a child aged 0-2 years takes place within the Russian Federation, then the child is entitled to a free flight. For a child under 12 years old, you will have to buy a flight ticket, but at 75% of the price.

When returning an air ticket one day or more in advance, the passenger will pay a service fee of 25 euros for foreign flights and 900 rubles for domestic flights.
If there are less than 24 hours left before departure, only a quarter of the cost of the air ticket will be deducted without a service fee.
Once check-in is completed and boarding is announced, the ticket cannot be refunded.
Exchanging a ticket for flights will require an additional payment of 50 euros; a fine of 100 euros applies only to flights to the United States of America. The benefits and travel conditions for children aged 0-2 years are similar to the previous fare discussed, with one caveat: a child over 2 years old flying without an adult accompanying person will not receive discounts, and the flight will cost the same as for adults.

Returns and exchanges of air tickets are also free, up to cancellation of the flight before boarding. The difference will be in the comfort of the seat and a narrower selection of the menu offered during the flight.
