Advice on additional services

Are infant bassinets provided on the plane?

The carrycot is not provided during the flight. Babies remain in the arms of an adult at all times.

It is impossible to take a stroller into the aircraft cabin due to safety requirements - it can fall, interfere with passenger service, block the passage, emergency exit, etc.

You can take a car seat into the cabin if it can be considered carry-on baggage in terms of dimensions and is suitable for use on an aircraft. To transport a child in a car seat, you must buy a separate ticket, because the car seat is installed in a separate place in the cabin.

Why was I refused to carry a passenger with a disability?

In some cases, the airline may refuse to transport a passenger with disabilities:

  • the passenger is sick and his illness poses a threat to the health of others;
  • the appearance and mental state of the passenger is a threat to others;
  • there is no confirmed consent of the carrier / carriers (for a connecting flight) for the carriage of a passenger;
  • there is no permission (medical certificate or declaration) for air carriage from the attending / accompanying doctor or the signature of the doctor of the medical center of the airport of departure is missing.

The rules for organizing flights for passengers with disabilities can be found here (link to the section).

Why can they refuse to approve the carriage of an animal?

The airline may refuse to approve the carriage of an animal if:

  • there are no documents required for registration of an animal;
  • if the carriage of other animals has already been booked on the flight and the total number of pets transported exceeds the allowed number.

When the carriage is agreed, do not forget to pay for the service on the website or at the airport.

You should agree with your beloved pet about good behavior at the airport and throughout the flight. Otherwise, if the airport staff thinks he is aggressive or dangerous to other passengers, he may not be allowed on the flight.

I want to move a cat. What certificates are needed?

To transport a cat across the territory of the Russian Federation, you must provide:

For travel outside the Russian Federation:

  • International veterinary certificate registered with the veterinary service of the border control point;
  • certificate of the breeding value of the animal for export;

There are also countries where it is forbidden to import animals, regardless of the number of permits and documents. The import of all types of animals is prohibited in the United Arab Emirates, the import of parrots is prohibited in Portugal.

How to order additional services?

You can order and pay for additional services while purchasing tickets. If tickets have already been purchased, and the service was required later, then you can order the service through the contact center operator, in your personal account in the mobile application or on the website, as well as at the airline's office, when you go through online check-in on the website or at the check-in counter before the flight.
