You can buy a plane ticket in various ways: buy a paper version at the ticket office, book and pay on the official website of the air carrier or through search engines optimized for selecting the right flights of all airlines. In any case, you should first study the terms of the fare, which outlines the actions that the passenger and the air carrier are entitled 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. The information is recommended for review, since most customers purchase budget options air tickets. The disadvantage of such flights lies in the significantly narrowed range of opportunities provided to the passenger, so the low price of the flight does not always justify itself - 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 Airlines has the following tariff scale:
1. Subdivision of classes of the "economy" group:
- promo;
- budget;
- optimum;
- status.
2. Business class is divided into:
- optimum;
- status.
All classes have an individual designation with letters. Among them, there are several categories that are in demand more than others.
The most budgetary fare that exists at Aeroflot Airlines 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 dates of departure and return 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. In the city of arrival, the passenger can only stay for a month. Aeroflot Airlines has long ago introduced a cumulative system of bonus miles. Having flown a certain number of hundreds of miles, the client has the right to demand the provision of a free flight or a significant reduction in the price of the ticket. The website lists flights and bonus miles that are different for each class. The "economy promo" group allows you to charge 25% of the total path length.
Flights at this rate are operated only direct, it is impossible to buy a flight 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 with miles or real money. You can return the 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 less than 24 hours before paying a commission in the amount of 25% of the total ticket price and the same service fee of 25 euros.
- It is not possible to return the ticket immediately before departure.
- For domestic flights, it is possible to change several flight criteria by paying a fine of 2,000 to 4,000 rubles. Change of conditions international flight will cost the client approximately 100 euros. Air tickets for babies under two years old with points of arrival located in other countries will cost only 10% of the full fare. Older children fly at full price. If the flight with a child aged 0-2 takes place inside Russian Federation, then the child is entitled to a free flight. For a child under 12 years old, you will have to buy a ticket for a flight, but for 75% of the price.
The largest number of tickets for Aeroflot airliners is sold at this rate. 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 extended compared to the most budget fare. The number of return departures is also fixed, and the choice of dates is small, but the passenger is not limited to a month of stay in the country or city - the return date can be delayed by six months.
Accumulating miles with such a tariff will also be much faster, because the increase percentage will be 150%. The flight can be carried out with connections in other settlements, no matter if they are in Russia or abroad. The comfort class can be changed to a higher one, for example, by accruing miles, however, you must first clarify the conditions for a particular flight, as they vary. Flight cancellation conditions are quite mild:
- When renting a ticket for a day or more, the passenger will pay a service fee of 25 euros for foreign flights and 900 rubles for domestic flights.
- If less than 24 hours are left before departure, only a quarter of the ticket price will be deducted without a service charge.
- After check-in is completed and boarding is announced, it is not possible to return the ticket.
- Ticket exchange for flights will require a surcharge of 50 euros, a fine of 100 euros applies only to flights to the United States of America. Benefits and travel conditions for children aged 0-2 years are similar to the previous considered tariff with one caveat: a child who is 2 years old flying without adult escorts is not eligible for discounts, and the flight will cost the same as for adults.
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 date for the return flight. The percentage of bonus miles goes up to 200.
Stay 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. When a flight is canceled, the full cost of the ticket is refunded without fines and fees, including the change during check-in or boarding the aircraft. You can also freely change the ticket for a more suitable date and time.
A child under 2 years old when flying abroad is provided with an air ticket for 10% of the total cost and is entitled to a free flight within Russia. After 2 years, accompanying adults have the right to buy a plane ticket for a child for half the price.
It should be noted that the economy class flight of the “status” category has almost complete coincidence in the above points. The passenger can choose the date of return himself, already being at the point of arrival, where he has the right to spend 12 months. Bonus miles will be charged at the rate of 200% of the amount done in the flight.
Return and exchange of tickets is also free of charge up to the cancellation of the flight before landing. The difference will be in the comfort of the seat and a narrower choice of the menu offered in flight.

Classes of air tickets are primarily distinguished by the comfort of the seats and meals on board. Today there are three classes of air tickets: Economy, Business and First. These are the cheapest, and therefore the most popular plane tickets, with minimal amenities and comfort. Baggage served by this class may not be included in the cost of the flight at all. If the flight lasts more than 1.5 hours, passengers may be offered meals. Passengers are transported to the plane by bus. Usually economy class tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
Economy class corresponds to the following letter designations:
- W - premium;
- S, Y - regular economy class (different levels of comfort);
- B, H - at a discount ( different types discounts);
- K, L - cheap class (economic class at a discount);
- M - tourist;
- N, Q, T, X, O - different kinds discounts;
- V - at a discount (youth class);
- G - group (reservation under certain conditions).
- J - premium;
- C - normal;
- D, Z, I - at a discount (different discount systems, on which the cost of business class air tickets may depend).
In some cases, airlines break classes into subclasses (for example, Premium, Advanced, and others).
In each case, before booking an air ticket on the checkout page, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the rules for applying the fare.
The following letters correspond to the first class of air tickets:
- P - premium;
- F - normal;
- A - at a discount.

The booking class is a letter designation of the quota of seats on the flight corresponding to a particular fare. The ticket class determines the service that you will receive during the flight. If the regular dinner included in the ticket price is offered to everyone regardless of class, then free alcoholic drinks will be provided only to first class passengers. However, if you are flying abroad, and especially to Europe, then it is hardly worth overpaying - even in the economy class of international flights, there is quite high-quality service and comfortable conditions that meet European standards. Moreover, you will have to overpay a lot - the prices for air tickets of the same company for the same flight can differ by half (if you compare the first and economy class). Under each fare, the airline has set a booking class N, V, R, M, K, H, B, Y and quotas of seats for sale in this subclass. Moreover, the cheaper the fare, the smaller the quota of seats. It is clear that if all the seats are sold at the minimum fare, then the flight is unlikely to justify itself economically. Therefore, cheap tickets are always scarce. The airline determines in advance (purely technically) how many seats in a given price quota it will sell on a flight. Of course, the division into quotas varies on each flight in each season.
