Airline win registration rules. Pobeda Airlines will take money for registration for flights from foreign airports. How is check-in for the Victory flight online

Online check-in is a very convenient feature implemented on the Victory Airlines website. Check-in for AK Pobeda flight can be done directly from home, or from another convenient place, bypassing a special check-in counter at the airport and queues for it. To complete this procedure, you will need access to the Internet.

Who can check in online for a flight

Since Pobeda is one of the youngest airlines in Russia, the function of online registration is not yet available to everyone. There are certain conditions.

Currently, online check-in is only available for passengers departing from Moscow from Vnukovo Airport.
The ticket must be booked and purchased through the official website of Pobeda Airlines.
The online check-in function is only available for passengers who have chosen seats on the plane (seat selection is a paid service, and you cannot register for a flight via the Internet remotely without purchasing it). You can choose your seats when booking, or later by calling the customer service contact center. This is due to the fact that if you refused the seat selection service, then the seats are allocated automatically when you check in for a flight at the counter at the airport.
Online check-in starts 24 hours before departure and ends 40 minutes before departure.
If you are carrying excess baggage with you, you must buy an extra piece of baggage no later than 4 hours before departure.

IMPORTANT: when checking in online, especially carefully read the conditions for the carriage of hand luggage and baggage so that later there will be no problems. Baggage check-in at the front desk, the purchase of an extra seat and payment of the excess rate at the airport are carried out for a long time and at inflated prices.

How to register online

To register for a flight online, you must first register on the Victory website and start your personal account. This procedure will not take much time, but it will greatly expand the functionality of the site for you and facilitate the process of booking tickets in the future, as the data is automatically saved and does not need to be re-entered each time.

IMPORTANT: you must have already booked and paid for a ticket. It is not possible to complete online registration until you have paid for your ticket reservation.

How to get to the landing

After completing the procedure on the website of the Victory company, registration is considered successful. What to do next?

You need to print your boarding pass and take it with you to the airport. Remember, check-in at the airport closes 25 minutes before departure, so it is better to arrive at the place in advance. If you could not print your boarding pass in advance, you can do this at the airport.
Baggage is checked in at the baggage claim counter (terminal A, desks No. 129 and No. 140). If you have baggage, you must check it in 40 minutes before departure, presenting your boarding pass.
Next, you can already go to the landing.

Thus, online check-in allows you to save time and nerves. The function becomes available when buying and paying for tickets through the official website of Pobeda Airlines, or through the contact center, and only if you used the paid seat selection service on the plane. The online registration procedure is simple and does not take much time.

Pobeda Airlines will now charge passengers 25 euros for the check-in service at the airport. The low-cost airline explains these measures by a sharp increase in aviation fuel prices by 10%: in order not to increase the cost of all tickets proportionally, some passengers will be charged an additional fee.

This practice is widespread among foreign low-cost airlines: it encourages passengers to register online and take boarding passes with them; if this is not done, then a barrage rate of up to 40-50 euros will be taken at the counter (that is, at Pobeda it is also relatively small).

Interestingly, at Pobeda, online check-in was available only for those passengers who bought the service of choosing a seat on board (from 149 rubles), the rest were asked to stand in line at the counter. Now, with the introduction of the new rule (this will happen from October 28 with the transition to the winter schedule), online registration will be available to everyone who will not be paid a place will be assigned by the system automatically.

There is, however, one caveat: online registration at Pobeda starts 24 hours before departure and ends 4 hours later. So if you buy a ticket later than 4 hours before departure, you will have to automatically pay another 25 euros for registration for the flight. In addition, abroad, it may be difficult to register and print a boarding pass during this 20-hour period (find a computer with a printer): online low-cost airlines start online check-in almost a month before departure and you can safely prepare boarding passes in advance for flights there and back. However, in many foreign airports, it is enough to show the boarding pass in electronic form on the smartphone screen, which generally solves the problem for passengers who have this smartphone.

The new fee applies only to departures from foreign airports, while at Russian check-in at check-in counters is still free. The fact is that in Russia, the registration service is not allocated from the fee for using the airport terminal, therefore it is impossible to save on it, in any case, the passenger pays for it when buying tickets. But at foreign airports, the registration of each passenger at the counter is paid separately, which is why incentives for online check-in are practiced there.

Nevertheless, the question of mentality remains relevant. Most of the passengers of the “Victory” are people flying rarely or for the first time. For them, the online registration procedure can be quite complicated, and its need is not obvious. Therefore, “Victory” should make every effort to inform passengers of international flights of the paid check-in at the counter. However, if this is not done, then a wave of hysterical posts on social networks about how the last pants at the airport were removed from aunt Glasha by the method of controlled negativity will quickly bring this information to her kind.

Well, so that you do not have to write a similar post about your aunt - use our

Victory Avia is the first Russian low-cost airline that is a subsidiary of Aeroflot. Probably due to the "family" relations of Pobeda Airlines with Aeroflot, the former can be very competitive, both in terms of ticket prices and in terms of flights.

In this post I’ll tell you everything I know about the Russian airline low-cost airline, about the rules and regulations for baggage and hand luggage, the prices of airline tickets, how to search and buy tickets for the Victory on stocks.

What is Victory Airlines

The official website of Pobeda Airlines: www.pobeda.aero, on the official website you can search for tickets, but more profitable and more convenient

You will probably be interested in learning a little more about Pobeda airline, where it came from, what kind of airplanes it has and why tickets can cost 999 rubles or less.

Pobeda Airlines began to exist at the moment when Dobrolet Airlines ceased to operate. Volunteer flew to the Crimea and received sanctions from the European Union. Victory in Crimea is afraid to fly, but not afraid to fly abroad, it does it regularly and at good prices.

Victory made its first flight on December 1, 2014 to the city of Volgograd. The start of ticket sales was very noisy and was remembered by many. The low-cost airline sold tickets at 100 rubles, many bought these tickets as souvenirs and did not fly anywhere on them. In the first hours of sales from the beginning of its official existence, the airline sold more than 10,000 tickets.

Pobeda Airlines is a subsidiary of Aeroflot, but the companies are not competitors. Victory Airpark - these are fresh planes of the American company Boeing, basically this is the 737 series in 800 configurations. (Boeing 737-800).

All aircraft (or almost all) of Pobeda and Aeroflot airlines are registered in Bermuda (this can be seen on the side number of the aircraft), and not in Russia. The main base of the airline is located at Vnukovo Airport (Moscow).

Flights Pobeda, prices and popular flights

At the beginning of the summer of 2017, Pobeda Airlines flies to the following cities: Alanya, Almaty, Anapa, Astrakhan, Barcelona (Girona), Barcelona (Reus), Bratislava, Vienna (central station), Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Gelendzhik, Gyumri, Yekaterinburg , Yerevan (city center), Kazan, Cologne / Bonn, Krasnoyarsk, Larnaca, Makhachkala, Milan (Bergamo), Milan (city center), Moscow (Vnukovo), Munich (Memmingen), Munich (city center), Naberezhnye Chelny, Nazran (Magas), Nalchik, Novosibirsk, Perm, Pisa, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Surgut, Tbilisi, Tivat, Tyumen , Florence (central station), Zurich (central station), Cheboksary, Chelyabinsk.

The price of tickets for this low-cost airline is much lower than that of all Russian air carriers. Do not forget that Victory is a low-cost airline, or as they call themselves - "low-budget carrier." Because of this, many tourists have problems during flights. Many passengers leave angry reviews and swear heavily, but is this the fault of the airline? Read about it later.

The Russian low-coster is a victory; it even tries to compete with European airlines; in some directions, it even succeeds for Victory.

Sometimes the airline holds promotions and discounts, the price of tickets on the official website can be 999 rubles or less. I could not buy a ticket for a promo fare of 999 rubles, but among my friends there are lucky ones who flew at such fares. Count on such a freebie from the Victory is not worth it, as tickets at this price are sold out instantly.

Where can I buy tickets for Victory

There are several ways to search and buy tickets for this Russian low-cost airline. The easiest and most costly is to turn to the airline’s toll line (Attention! A minute of conversation with a call center operator costs from 50 rubles).

A more gentle and convenient way to purchase tickets is to visit the company's official website. The site is convenient and comfortable to use, but it does not give any hints about more profitable flight dates.

Completely free, you can check in your baggage up to 10 kilograms per person, all that is above this permitted rate is paid for at all at budget rates. It seems that such conditions for a low-cost company are generosity (as much as 10 kg. For free), but everything is much more interesting. If you fly with your family and you have three luggage places (5 kg., 15 kg. And 7 kg.), Then you will be charged for the excess (where there is 15 kilograms).

This is due to the rule: “One passenger - one piece of baggage”, you will either have to pay extra for an excess (where 15 kilograms are), or shift things flat. The majority of passengers are busy with this (baggage transfer) during check-in for the Victory flight.

With excess baggage more than 10 kg., But less than 20 kg. you will have to pay 1,499 rubles if payment is made through the website or call center and 3,000 rubles if paid at the reception. The cost of each kilogram in excess of the 20 kilogram limit is 500 rubles.

Catch a life hack to save on luggage: if you have a slight advantage (up to 1 kilogram), then look for check-in desks, whose scales lie in a smaller direction. It is simple to determine such a bug of the scales, the numbers should have minus signs on the display - this is the error of the scales. I regularly use this "loophole", but I am always ready to throw (or shove in my pockets) excess weight out of my luggage.

Airline Victory hand luggage free and paid

If everything is clear with luggage, then what Victory with hand luggage invented was simply a masterpiece, but first things first.

Free passenger carry-on baggage, only one that corresponds to the federal list (camera, laptop, phone, etc.), see the link. Any other hand luggage (backpack, bag with vodka / cosmetics from Duty Free, etc.) carried in the cabin is paid extra.

The cost of hand luggage in the cabin of Pobeda Airlines is 999 rubles when paying through the website or call center and up to 2000 rubles when paying at the check-in counter. Not all hand luggage can be paid through the website or by calling the call center, goods from Duty Free as an example.

Sometimes it comes to the ridiculous, you can take on board a huge laptop weighing 5 kilograms, but you do not have the right to put this laptop in a plastic bag, whose weight is 5 grams. You passed registration with a laptop in your hands, then put it in a hidden plastic bag, then already at the boarding point, you will either be asked to get rid of the bag or pay for hand luggage.

All purchases that tourists love to make in Duty Free are not welcome on board an airplane. You will need to pay for the package from Duty Free as carry-on baggage. I saw how passengers carried Duty Free bottles on board an airplane without packaging, how legal it was (alcohol should be packed in special bags until the end of the flight) and how much it costs, I don’t know.

Choosing a seat in the cabin Pobeda

Regularly on television, stories about scandals aboard Pobeda Airlines flashed on television, the reason for most of which is the division of seats in the cabin. If you follow all the rules, "do not bull" and do not be greedy, then you can fly very comfortably. A little further, I will show how for only 999 rubles you can fly to the best places.

The choice of seats in the cabin is a paid service, like all airline services. You should know that you yourself are responsible for the quality of your flight and do not blame others, flight attendants or the airline.

At the time of booking tickets, the site offers to use additional services and services to improve your flight. Among which there are “Selecting a place”, “Baggage to the cabin” (hand luggage), “Extra baggage” (baggage in excess of the free norm of 10 kg.), “Flight insurance”, “Medical insurance”, “Hotels in the city of arrival”, “Excursions in the city of arrival”, etc. You can refuse all of these additional services, since after buying a ticket you can buy them.

The site indicates that you did not choose a place, or did not pay for baggage / hand luggage, and he does it very persistently, it is difficult not to notice the pop-ups.

After paying for the ticket, you will receive several letters from Pobeda Airlines to your mail. As a rule, these are “Receipt of payment” (ticket reservation), “Electronic ticket” and information on your flight. It is in the information letter that you are again informed about the opportunity to buy (or choose) a seat in the cabin, pay for luggage, etc.

A day before your departure, you will again receive a letter from Victory in the mail, which recommends using the online check-in for the flight. And in this letter, it is again said about the ability to pay / buy the necessary services.

On the day of your departure, you will receive two letters from Victory again in the mail. In the first - a reminder of the departure, recommendations, and again advice to choose a place, in the second - your electronic ticket (this is very convenient).

It is not necessary to print out an electronic ticket, they informed me during the correspondence by e-mail with a representative of the airline (this is completely free).

My question is in the support service of Pobeda Airlines.

Good afternoon!

Tell me, is it necessary to print an electronic ticket or can it be saved on the phone and presented in electronic form at the registration desk. And is it necessary to present it at all at check-in at the airport?

Airline response.

Thank you for contacting us.

A passenger can come to check-in only with a document by which he will make a flight. If required, the passenger can present the ticket electronically.

Check the weight and dimensions of your baggage for compliance with the Baggage Transportation Rules;

If necessary, pay in advance for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage;

If you have a special diet or if you are traveling with a small child, take care of your meals in advance. On board the Victory, you will be provided with only water;

We recommend arriving at the airport no later than 90 minutes before the flight departure;

Do not forget to bring with you the identification documents indicated at the time of booking;

For international flights, check for documents required to cross the border;

At the airport, go to the check-in desk for passengers and baggage on your flight;

You can not print the itinerary receipt, but simply inform the reservation code at registration;

For an additional fee you can choose a more convenient seat in the cabin;

If you have baggage, hand it in at the front desk of passengers and baggage;

If you paid for baggage in the cabin, you will receive a baggage tag at the front desk;

After registration, go through passport control and security control;

Before passing security control, check if you have with you or in your hand luggage items prohibited for transportation in the cabin;

Expect to start boarding near the boarding gate;

Check flight status and boarding gate number on bulletin boards;

Do not put away your boarding pass. Upon entering the aircraft, flight attendants will be asked to present it;

If you have any questions, please contact the airport or Victory staff.

And after all this flurry of emails, I don’t understand how people can “download rights” at the airport. You yourself read everything (at the time of purchase of the ticket), agreed with everything, personally paid for the ticket with a credit card, etc. And at the airport and the cabin, due to savings of 999 rubles, a show of unprecedented greed begins. It's hard for me to understand.

Airline Victory Check-in

All tourists have long been accustomed to online check-in for flights, it’s fast, convenient and already familiar, because the 21st century is in the yard. But Pobeda Airlines has problems with this procedure. About the features of online registration on the only Russian low-cost airline and about other difficulties, read on.

Check-in at the airport

Check-in counters start working 2 hours before departure (at Vnukovo Airport - 3 hours), check-in ends 40 minutes before departure.

It is advisable to come to the reception desks ready, i.e. 10 kilograms of luggage, a laptop in the hands, a camera on the neck, sandwiches in the pockets, etc.

Online registration for the Victory flight (conditionally paid)

Any low-cost airline tries to minimize the communication of the passenger and staff. The company’s low-cost airline is trying to send a passenger to the Internet in all available ways and will force him to register for the flight there on his own. But Victory has a different approach to saving the working time of its employees.

Here is the online registration procedure (information from the victory site):

Online registration opens on the official Victory website 24 hours before and ends 40 minutes before departure.

To register for an online flight, you need to register on the site pobeda.aero, print out your boarding pass and take it with you to the airport (why do you need to print a boarding pass?). If you are traveling with luggage, please contact the baggage check-in desk at the airport, but no later than 40 minutes before departure.

Here are some things that are not clear to me when I check in for Victory flights online:

Online check-in for Victory flights is only available for passengers departing from Moscow. For what reason is it not possible to register online in other cities?

Online check-in for Victory flights is a paid service. In order to go through online registration, you must buy an additional service, i.e. pay extra for choosing a place in the cabin or you won’t succeed.

It turns out the imposition of services. But how can I check in for a flight without specifying a place in the cabin, the Victory staff will object. Yes, it’s very simple - to assign for such passengers (who do not want to buy seats in the cabin) randomly (accidentally) the cheapest seats. In this case, everything is won, the passenger received a boarding pass and will not stand in line, the airline will save time and nerves of its employees.

Pobeda Airlines, my review

Many tourists and travelers are trying to compare the Russian low-cost airline with its Western counterparts, this is an incorrect comparison and they cannot be compared for a number of reasons that are beyond the scope of this article. In this part of the post, I will talk about the experience of using the Russian low-cost airline and try to make my review more objective. Go!

Buying a plane ticket

To buy a ticket to Montenegro, I used a proven site, which once again failed. Tickets Moscow - Tivat - Moscow, cost me about 7000 rubles, but you could buy even cheaper. All the details on the search for promotional Victory tickets, read the link.

It is worth noting that the site at Victory is made with high quality, it is convenient to use, it is worthy of praise. After buying a ticket for the mail, letters of notification began to come, which were partly an advertisement of their additional services. If you count all the letters, then they received no more than 10 pieces, which fits into the framework of decency.

Some of the letters were very helpful, such as a flight reminder or an electronic ticket take on the day of departure. Each letter contains links to seat selection, baggage payment, etc. Here at the Victory everything is at the highest level. So if I needed another piece of luggage, I knew exactly where to pay it.

Departure from Vnukovo Airport

I love airports, airplanes, and all this traveling mover, so I always arrive at the airport in advance, this time was no exception. I wandered around the half-empty building of the air station, photographed planes and go to check-in.

There were no difficulties with registration, and it cannot be. If you can read Russian, do not be greedy for paying for additional services and follow the simple rules of an airline low-cost airline, then check-in and flight will be comfortable.

At some airports, Victory has the peculiarity of boarding a plane, you do not go up the plane along the sleeve, but board it from the take-off field. A bus takes you from the airport building to the plane, so you should not rush much until the bus stops boarding at the terminal building.

Cattle Vnukovo Airport

The bus brought everyone to the plane standing on the platform and a queue was organized at the gangways. To take some time, I turned on the camera and began to take off planes, the queue, Vnukovo airport, etc. A guy in a gray quilted jacket very quickly became interested in me; a quilted jacket was clearly a couple of sizes larger than a man.

The conversation with the security guard (a man in a quilted jacket) was as follows:

Man: Quickly removed the camera (addresses you).
Me: You can’t shoot here?
Man: You can’t.
Me: But there are no prohibition signs and nowhere is this indicated.
Man: Now you’ll stay here, you won’t fly anywhere and stay here for a long time. Quickly removed the camera.

The watchman’s syndrome works, the man in his heart celebrates the victory, I remove the camera and feel like shit, the goal is achieved. I’m trying to remember at what other airport in the world I would have been so clearly pointed to my place. I don’t remember anything, although I photographed a lot where.

Upon arrival in Montenegro, I sent an e-mail to the address of Vnukovo airport, asking about my right to shoot. There was no answer, but really who I am to answer me. There was a different opinion about the operation of this airport.

On board Pobeda Airlines

Victory’s planes are relatively new, inside is clean and familiar. Much different from a standard flight, they don’t feed on flights (only water is offered during the flight), on low-cost flights there is no division into classes of service (all economy class seats, but for an additional fee you can choose more comfortable ones).

Stewardesses certainly do not have a sweet time, here are a few common questions for passengers:

when will they feed us ?;
where is your business class ?;
quickly transfer me to my child / husband / wife / mom / dad / porthole, otherwise you will have problems / I will never fly to your company / I will spoil / I will complain;
why should I put up with this (the list of which should endure is very long);
why should I go along the runway, why the plane does not park at the airport.

If to summarize the suitability or unsuitability of the Victory low-cost airline for travel, then I will lean toward using this airline for flights over short distances, I liked the airline's work. But if you can choose (for a long flight) and at a similar price for tickets, I will choose another airline.

Service and facilities on board an airplane Victory, myth or reality

The distance between seats and the replacement of seats in the cabin of Pobeda Airlines

This is the most acute problem for the passenger, especially if the passenger is tall. Indeed, the distance between the seats is not so much, but there is a great opportunity to choose a place. The price of the service is 999 rubles and a cart with aviation food can travel between the seats (just kidding).

In the photo it’s the place for 999 rubles, as you can see there is enough legroom, I would even say more than. Do not be greedy, if you really need additional space, then pay extra and it is guaranteed to appear.

In the cabin, everyone is seated separately from each other

The second most important issue that interests every family passenger is where my family will be sitting. The cost of choosing a seat in the cabin is from 149 rubles. Is this a lot or a little for your calm and confidence that your family will be sitting next to you?

On board Victory do not feed

Nothing but water and a smile, the stewardesses can offer you. On board there is also no way to buy food, as this is an extra cost for the airline.

There are several things that are incomprehensible to me. Most Victory flights last no more than two to three hours, it is impossible to get hungry for such a time (maybe I'm wrong). What prevents a passenger from eating at the airport is not necessary to do this in an expensive airport restaurant, because you can take a few sandwiches with you from home.

Well, for those passengers who are unable to tolerate several hours without eating (in nature there are rare diseases that require constant food intake), you can carry a bag with hand luggage (up to 10 kg.) On board the aircraft. This service costs from 999 rubles. No one forbids putting sandwiches in your hand luggage, especially if you have such a rare disease. If you don’t have 999 rubles to pay for your hand luggage (anything happens in life), then put the Snickers bar in your pocket, no one will turn out your pockets (I at least haven’t seen this).

Airplanes victory seats do not recline

Armchairs really do not recline, on those planes in which I was, everything is exactly as they write on the Internet. My flights were daytime, so there wasn’t much need for the transformation of seats. And the plane during the flight from Tivat to Moscow was half empty, so that you could sleep on the couch.

I heard on the Internet that on all Pobeda planes, the pockets of seats are sewn up. This is argued by the fact that much less time is spent on cleaning the cabin and, as a result, the efficiency of using the aircraft increases. In those planes that I came across, there were no sewn pockets, but I do not exclude that this is quite possible.

Do you have any additions or comments to my post, tell us about it in the comments.

Have a nice flight and soft landings.

Airline Pobeda It is engaged in passenger air transportation on the territory of Russia. In November 2014, Aeroflot registered the Pobeda low-cost airline, and on December 1, the first flight in the Moscow-Volgograd direction was completed.

The main objective of the low-cost airline is to increase transport accessibility between the regions of Russia. It was originally planned that the air carrier would be based at Sheremetyevo Airport, but later decided that the base airport would become Vnukovo, since Sheremetyevo agreed to fly only until February 2015.

Victory Airlines was created to replace the low-cost carrier, which was forced to close in August 2014 due to EU sanctions and return the leased Boeing aircraft.

LLC “Budget carrier”

The legal entity of Pobeda Airlines is Budget Carrier LLC. 100% subsidiary of the group. Lowcoster has set a base price in all directions 999 rubleswhen buying a plane ticket on the official website pobeda.aero or by phone.

When buying a ticket at QIWI terminal, the ticket price will be 4% higher. Additional fees for other services are also provided. For example, if a passenger wants to choose a specific place in the cabin, then he will have to pay from 149 to 1199 rubles. For transportation of additional baggage, a fee of 99 to 3199 rubles is also charged.

Pobeda Airlines fleet

The low-cost fleet consists of the new Boeing 737-800 NG. In the cabin are leather seats from the company Aerospace. The interior design of Sky Interior was developed specifically for the low-cost carrier with increased luggage racks with convenient opening mechanisms, allowing passengers to sit comfortably in seats at the aisle, as well as expand the space in the cabin.

Boeing 737-800 NG, one of the most popular and reliable passenger aircraft in the world.
