What is online check-in for plane s7. Check-in for a plane or flight online

One of the leaders among numerous Russian air carriers is S7 Airlines. The company always cares about its customers and strives to improve the provision of services. For example, to register, you just need to go to the official website www.s7.ru at any convenient time.

S7 airline website

This service is in great demand among passengers, because by using it you can easily save a lot of free time. However, for those who decide to check-in online for the S7 flight for the first time, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the stages and basic rules.

Regular customers of S7 Airlines note not only the high-quality services provided, but also the opportunity to purchase a ticket at a very affordable price. But such offers do not come from all companies involved in servicing flights.

What points should be taken into account when registering using an airline ticket number?

When purchasing an air ticket online, the client receives an itinerary receipt via email as confirmation. To receive it, simply pay for the air ticket on the official website of the S7 company using a bank card or funds from an electronic wallet.

After the money is debited from the account, a receipt will be sent to your mailbox containing the following information:

  • personal data of the buyer;
  • number of the purchased air ticket;
  • Reservation number.

This document must be printed and saved, since without it it will be impossible to check in for an S7 flight using the electronic ticket number in the future.

When visiting the official website of the airline, you can start the check-in process at least 30 hours before the scheduled departure time of the plane. This service ceases to operate 50 minutes before departure.

Given the time limitation, passengers should not postpone the event until the last minute, because they should not forget that after online registration they need to arrive at the airport on time, go through customs and passport control and check in their luggage on time. It would be a good idea to visit the company’s website in advance to make sure there are no changes to the departure time.

Among the advantages of S7 online registration are the following:

  • passengers do not have to stand in huge queues for a long time;
  • you have the opportunity to choose the most convenient seat for yourself in the cabin;
  • registration can be completed both from a computer and a mobile phone, and in any place where it is possible to connect to the Internet;
  • and, of course, this service helps to save a huge amount of free time, which, unfortunately, is always in short supply.

Step-by-step online registration

Let's look at how to register for an S7 flight online using your ticket number step by step below:

  1. First of all, after going to the official S7 website, you should go to the section called “Online registration”. In this section, you need to enter all the necessary data in specially designated fields, that is, your own initials, in the same way as they were indicated on the ticket, reservation code and air ticket number.
  2. Next, you need to click “Register” and do not forget to check the box “Registered passenger”.
  3. The next step is to become familiar with the rules for transporting things on an airplane. After reading the rules (and we still recommend paying attention to them), you should press the confirm button so that a window opens with your seat in the cabin. You can change it if you wish, but you will have to pay an additional fee for such a service.
  4. Once all online check-in steps have been completed, the passenger will be provided with a boarding pass. The document must be printed and shown upon boarding.

This completes the online registration process. If desired, S7 Airlines customers can check in for a flight using a special application for mobile devices called S7 Mobile.

Siberia Airlines or S7 Airlines (Es Seven) is one of the major Russian air carriers, operating both domestic flights and international passenger services, the third largest airline in Russia. Currently, S7 airline covers more than 205 routes, 141 of which are Russian.

Over the past years, Siberian airlines have been striving to introduce modern online service technologies. Currently, S7 passengers have access to both online check-in and booking management through a mobile application.

After changing the color of the fuselages, the bright green aircraft of the S7 company became easily recognizable at any airport

Check-in rules

The standard check-in procedure for a flight, according to the rules of air transportation, takes place at the airport of departure. It consists of passenger registration, baggage check-in and pre-flight aviation security control. In case of an international flight, you must go through customs control. Check-in for flight S7 at the airport begins 2-3 hours before and ends 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Exceptions are possible, for example, at Domodedovo, check-in begins 24 hours before departure.

To successfully check-in and baggage, you must present an identification document at the airline counter. Here you can choose a seat or use the additional service of “superior seats”. Please note that by default, seats are allocated automatically.

Superior seats or “Extra space” are seats in the economy class cabin with an increased distance between the rows. This distance may vary depending on the type of aircraft, but in any case there will be more space on such a row than on a standard seat in the cabin.

The service is limited due to the fact that seats with extra space are most often located in the aircraft cabin near emergency exits, and air transportation rules prohibit certain categories of passengers from occupying such seats. Restrictions apply to passengers with luggage in the cabin or with animals, children, passengers who do not speak Russian or English, people with disabilities and pregnant women. A complete list of categories of persons for whom this service is not available can be found on the official website in the “Transportation Rules” section.

Airline plane on takeoff

After s7 check-in for a flight online, the passenger receives a boarding pass, which contains complete information about the flight:

  • passenger's first and last name
  • flight number
  • departure date
  • boarding deadline
  • gate number
  • seat number

How to book a flight online. Instructions

Now on the Esseven website or in your personal account in the mobile application, a full list of electronic services from purchasing a ticket to checking in for a flight is available.

The easiest way to buy an electronic air ticket is to visit the official S7 website and, after registering, book a ticket for the desired flight in the “Air tickets” tab. The ticket is booked for a specific period during which it must be redeemed. Compared to a traditional paper ticket, an electronic ticket has a number of advantages:

  • It cannot be lost or forgotten. All data is stored in the carrier's database;
  • It takes less time to purchase and registration; you can buy it without leaving your home;
  • You can manage your data using the “My Bookings” service. You can check your flight status, make changes or issue a refund at any time;
  • Payment for the flight of several passengers is carried out by bank card, while several tickets can be paid for in one transaction.

It is important to fill out all forms correctly when purchasing a ticket online.

Important! The reservation system recognizes the passenger's first and last name only when written in Latin letters. Be careful when filling out personal and visa information or use the system prompts.

Boarding the plane

To buy an e-ticket, you need to follow simple instructions:

  1. Go to the airline's website.
  2. Select the “Purchase and Management” tab, then the “Purchase” subsection.
  3. In the “From” and “To” fields that appear, enter the city or airport of departure and arrival. The system accepts both the Russian name and the three-letter designation of the airport. For example, the hint “Moscow, Domodedovo, DME” will appear when you write any of these three words. In addition, if you do not specify an airport (Moscow, MOW), the site will offer all possible flights from any airport in this city to the point of arrival.
  4. Select a travel date in the calendar. If you need a one-way ticket only, you need to uncheck the “Round and back” checkbox, then the date of the return flight will not be highlighted.
  5. Select the number of passengers: adults, children or infants, payment currency and click on the “Search” button. On the next tab, the system will display all possible flight options for the specified date. At the top of the page there is a “price calendar” that shows prices for the specified destination for the coming days to the selected date. If it is possible to reschedule your flight, you can save money by choosing a day when the same ticket will cost less.
  6. Below, in the form of a table, the Eiseven flights and tariffs suitable for the parameters are presented, indicating the cost and explanation of services. Each flight, in addition to the departure time, is designated by a unique digital code, for example, flight S7 905 Moscow (Domodedovo) - Yerevan or S7 1046 Sochi - Moscow (Domodedovo). You need to select the appropriate departure time and fare, and click on the “Add to cart” button.
  7. If necessary, select additional services (extra luggage space, seat selection) and an insurance package. Additional services when purchased along with a ticket on the website are provided with a 10% discount, so it is more profitable to pay for them immediately than to purchase additionally at the airport. The system will also prompt the client to book a hotel in the city of arrival or a transfer to the airport. The “Proceed to payment” button will take the passenger to the payment page.
  8. Fill in the passenger's passport details, contact information and select a payment method. The passenger can immediately pay for the order using the “Pay Now” button or book a ticket.

Note! The cost of the flight may vary, and, as a rule, the closer the departure date, the more expensive the ticket. On the website you can fix the cost of your reservation and pay for the ticket within two days at the price indicated at the moment.

After you have purchased your e-ticket, you can go through the standard check-in procedure at the airport, carrying only your identification document, or use S7 online check-in.

Booking information! When purchasing a ticket, reservation of a specific seat in the cabin is not available. You can only choose a fare that includes a seat selection service; for example, the Basic Economy fare does not include such a service, that is, choosing a seat in the cabin will be paid separately at the airport counter or distributed automatically. When registering such a ticket electronically, seat selection will be blocked. In the Economy Flexible fare, the choice of seat is already included in the price of the flight, and during online check-in on the website or in the c7 application, you will be able to change the seat offered by the system.

Electronic registration

You can register for a flight online on the website, as well as through the S7 application.

To register for flight s7 on the website, you need to go to the “Check-in for flight” tab, indicate the ticket or reservation number (they can be found in the itinerary receipt or in the letter confirming the purchase of the ticket), enter your personal data in Latin and click the “Register” button. Next, you will be asked to select a seat (if this includes a tariff).

In the mobile application, just go to the “Check-in for flight” tab. If authorization in your personal account is completed, the passenger's last name is filled in automatically. The airline client only needs to enter information about the ticket or reservation number and follow the system’s step-by-step prompts to receive a boarding pass.

You can print your electronic boarding pass directly at the airport - in special terminals

The boarding pass will be presented to the passenger in pdf format. You can print it at the airport terminals or at the check-in counter. In addition, the coupon received through the mobile application can be saved in the Wallet of the smartphone so that it is at hand at any time. With your boarding pass printed or downloaded to your phone, you can check your luggage at a special “Baggage Reception” counter (for example, such a system operates at Domodedovo) or at the general check-in counter. If a traveler is flying only with hand luggage, then after electronic check-in you can immediately proceed to the pre-flight control area and boarding the plane.

Online check-in from 7 starts 30 hours before departure and ends 50 minutes. Baggage must be checked in no later than 40 minutes before takeoff.

Online registration restrictions

The S7 mobile application provides a lot of pleasant bonuses: in addition to quickly purchasing tickets and checking in for a flight online, for example, by becoming a member of the S7 Priority program, you can accumulate miles for flights or purchases from partner companies and spend them on air tickets or paying for airline services. For example, you can use miles to pay for a “superior seat” service or to change a seat in economy class to business class. How many miles will be credited for a flight depends on the flight distance and ticket fare.

The mobile application simplifies the purchase of air tickets as much as possible

The ability to quickly interact with carriers via smartphones meets the frantic pace of modern life, and organizations seeking to keep up with this pace deserve consideration. S7 became one of these companies when it turned long procedures with queues at the airport into a couple of clicks in a mobile application.

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