Air travel for preferential categories of citizens of Russia and Ukraine. Benefits for purchasing air tickets Benefits for train tickets

The air transportation market in Russia is growing rapidly. More and more citizens are traveling, be it domestic flights or foreign trips.

But few people know that even this type of transport can be used taking into account the existing benefits. How to do this and what citizens can count on - this is discussed in our article.

Who is entitled to

The cost of an air ticket depends on large number factors:

flight range;
type of aircraft;
airport taxes;
passenger seats.

Complex calculations lead to the fact that sometimes the flight becomes very expensive. Budget airlines even save money by not paying for the boarding bridge for their passengers, but delivering them to the terminals by bus. However, absolutely all Russian airlines offer certain discounts for passengers.

The following categories of passengers can count on preferences:

disabled people of groups I, II, III;
disabled children;
citizens accompanying disabled people on the road;
pensioners registered in the Far East and Siberia;
students;
pupils;
relatives of airline employees.

Thus, for pensioners and students, individual carriers are developing discount programs that can be used throughout the year. Disabled people receive support according to the state support program.

Regulatory documents that regulate travel rules and benefits:

Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation No. 24 of February 15, 2016;
air code of the Russian Federation;
general rules passenger transportation in air transport in accordance with Order of the Ministry of Transport No. 82 of June 28, 2007.

The main benefits of airlines primarily concern citizens with disabilities. It is important to note that each ticket has a class of service. When applying for a discount on air tickets, the passenger does not lose in the level of service. On board he will be provided with hot meals and drinks in the same way as all other passengers.

Which ones are provided?

Let's start with pensioners, for whom the government has developed a successful program of discounted flights with Far East and Siberia. Discounts are provided only for retired residents registered in the relevant regions. Discounts are provided in the amount of half the cost of the air ticket.

Carriers provide benefits for Far Easterners and Siberians for a certain number of travel documents. Due to the fact that Russia is a large country, and the cost of a flight from the Far East to the central part can be higher than foreign flights, this program was developed. The benefit applies only to certain destinations when flying within the country.

Discounts are offered by the following airlines:

Aurora (Aeroflot);
Ural Airlines;
Yakutia;
Habavia;
Nord Wind;
Siberia;
Pegasus Fly.

There are also discounts for students. At the same time, most airlines rely not on the fact that the citizen is undergoing training, but on the age of the passenger. Basic discounts are provided in the amount of 25% for all citizens from 12 to 23 years old.

Aurora Airlines and other subsidiary carriers of Aeroflot provide a youth fare for citizens up to their 25th birthday.

It is worth noting that according to international rules, all children under two years old travel by plane for free. For this purpose, they are also issued a travel document marked INF, which means infant, and are not provided with a separate seat other than bassinets.

However, for children aged two years and above, airlines can independently regulate their fare policy. Many carriers provide a discount for schoolchildren ranging from 25% to 50% of the ticket price.

One of the few categories of passengers who are entitled to discounts on air tickets are relatives of carrier employees. All of them are eligible for discounts throughout the year. Their size is set by airlines independently; discounts are not supported by the state.

The authorities fully control the provision of travel benefits for disabled people of all groups, as well as for persons accompanying them.

Conditions for granting the subsidy:

the flight is carried out for treatment and rehabilitation;
The discount percentage is adjusted depending on the region;
The accompanying person most often receives compensation payments from the state.

Carriers independently set the size of the benefit, as well as the number of discounted tickets provided. Typically the discount is about 50%. This benefit is provided entirely at the expense of the federal budget.

How to use

To purchase a discounted plane ticket, you will need to contact the airline and find out whether benefits are provided for a specific category of passengers.

You can do this in any of the convenient ways:

online through official websites;
by contacting the airline ticket office.

Many citizens today purchase travel tickets via the Internet. It's simple, convenient and saves time. The website always contains information about benefits in the section “Discounts”, “ Special offers" and so on.

Also, airline websites offer to receive a discount when purchasing by correctly indicating the passenger category.

For example, Aurora Airlines officially provides discounts for:

pensioners;
youth from 12 to 25 years old.

When choosing a passenger category, the airfare will be indicated taking into account discounts and taxes. We draw the attention of citizens traveling with children to the fact that they must issue a separate travel document for an infant and indicate that the flight is carried out with a child.

The fact is that infants (from birth to two years old) do not travel for free, but rather enjoy a 100% discount.

Passengers with disabilities When purchasing a ticket you should know:

the accompanying person cannot be under 18 years of age;
a disabled child under 12 years of age can travel by air only with an accompanying person;
If a person has hearing or vision problems, accompaniment is strictly required.

Please remember that a person with a disability may not be allowed to board the flight upon check-in. We advise you to contact the airline directly after purchasing your ticket and communicate your preferences.

In some cases, a passenger with a disability and his accompanying person must purchase tickets for flights to places of treatment, and subsequently obtain compensation for previously spent funds. This practice most common. The maximum compensation amount is 50%.

Required documents

To purchase a discount ticket at the airline's ticket office or through the website, you just need to enter the details (present) of a document that gives you the right to a discount.

In most cases, this is one of the following documents:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
pensioner's ID;
birth certificate.

For persons with disabilities and citizens accompanying them during the flight, a different procedure applies:

a ticket is initially purchased at the ticket office indicating that a person with a disability is traveling to the place of treatment;
after returning, the citizen or his representative contacts the authority social protection population to receive compensation.

Documents that must be provided along with the established application:

passports of passengers or one of them (if the disabled person traveled independently);
document confirming the presence of disability;
airline ticket receipts (you can also attach used boarding passes);
All medical documents(copy of the referral for treatment, copy of the extract, certificate, etc.).

The application review period will be 7 working days, after which the request will be granted and the cost of the air ticket will be partially reimbursed. Money is transferred in the same way as other payments in favor of a citizen with a disability.

Today, all Russian airlines are private; they have the right to independently regulate tariff policies.

Most of them provide benefits for several categories of persons all year round and participate in government programs. All this is being done with the aim of increasing passenger traffic and making air transport more accessible.

Group 2 disabled people are people with limited mobility, therefore at the federal level they are provided with preferential travel. For 2019, preferences provide minimum costs to move around the city and beyond.

Who can count

Group 2 disability is provided to citizens with moderate health problems that affect the quality of life.

Persons with the following types of disorders can apply for status:

limited ability to move - a person without outside help does not move, so has difficulty traveling to public transport;
difficulty in orientation to space - the face does not perceive the world adequate, he needs help;
difficulties in communication - needs a person to convey information;
learning problems due to impairment mental processes– disabled people master the skills of reading, counting, writing in special educational institutions or are educated at home;
limited opportunity labor activity– technical means are needed for work.

The nuances of benefits depend on the region. In most regions of Russia, the list of travel preferences does not include taxis, but social services operate in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The applicant can correct inaccuracies or resubmit the package of documents.

It is better to send a registered letter with a list of attachments.

Disabled people of group 2 are provided with travel benefits various types transport. Some preferences apply exclusively at the regional level. You can get discounts or a cash-free ticket based on your ID at the box office.

The legislation of Russia and Ukraine is known to support people with disabilities. The logic of support is as follows: people with disabilities have the right to preferential living conditions, treatment, work and housing costs. This list also includes discounts on the purchase of air tickets. So what kind of discount does a disabled person have the right to demand when buying a plane ticket? Legislation of Ukraine and Russian Federation answers this question differently. Benefits for disabled people in the Russian Federation

General benefits throughout Russia Until recently, in the Russian Federation, people with disabilities had the right to purchase plane tickets with a 50% discount, and once a year - free of charge to the place of treatment and back. This right was confirmed by Article 30 federal law No. 181 “On the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation.” In 2005, this article became invalid. Why? The fact is that in that year the monetization of benefits was carried out in the Russian Federation.

Discounts for disabled people on air tickets

True, there is another 100 rubles for a trip to the sanatorium. Also, working pensioners receive a 50% discount (non-working – 100%) on travel to and from the sanatorium. So, potentially, if there is no other way to the sanatorium other than air travel, disabled people are entitled to discounts here too.

Also, if a disabled person of group 1 travels with an accompanying person, he is entitled to the same discounts.

Moscow and the Moscow region In 2009, the Moscow government issued Resolution N 755-PP, regulating the procedure for providing free sanatorium and resort treatment for individual categories citizens. The list also includes disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3.

Thus, Muscovites and residents of the region can still count on free travel or even a flight, but not of their own choice, but exclusively to the location of the sanatorium and back. The text of the resolution itself looks like this: “3.

Is there a discount on air tickets for group 2 disabled people?

The right to free travel is also granted to a person accompanying a disabled person. Transport benefits for disabled people: travel tickets The cost of a social travel card for disabled people is 375 rubles. A social travel card, which will indicate the name of its owner, will help you take advantage of the discount on public transport.

Attention

To prevent anyone else from presenting your card on a bus, train or tram, you must have a passport with you. If a disabled person does not have a social travel card with him, he will have to pay for the ticket, even if the person is in a wheelchair.

To get a social travel card, you need to go to the regional department of social protection of the population (you can send a proxy or use a social taxi service).

Discounts and benefits on air tickets for disabled people

Annual travel allowance for disabled people Separately, local authorities provide an additional travel benefit - an annual travel allowance for disabled people. So, for example, B Sverdlovsk region organs local government adopted Resolution No. 1426-PP of December 30, 2008, which provides for the payment of an annual allowance for travel through the region by all types of public urban and suburban transport.
Thus, the amount of the annual travel allowance was:

· for disabled people of groups 2 and 3 – 825 rubles;
· for disabled people of group 1 and disabled children – 1650 rubles.

Please note that the amount of travel allowance for disabled people is established “on the spot” by local authorities, so their availability and size must be clarified separately.

Important

Subsidized benefits reduce the cost of an air ticket by 50%. In addition, companies offer additional promotions, thanks to which beneficiaries receive discounts from 10 to 30% on flights.

To receive a discount, a pensioner indicates his status when booking a ticket. Upon receipt of the booked air ticket, present a pension certificate and a passport with regional registration. The benefit is available upon provision of the specified documents. To take advantage of your right to travel with privileges, plan ahead.
Usually, by the departure date of the flight, there is an increase in the ticket price. Persons of retirement age have the right to buy air tickets only in economy class.

The government program guarantees a discount on the purchase of an air ticket. Based on the cost of the trip, which is set by a private company, a discount is given.

Air travel for preferential categories of citizens of Russia and Ukraine

For example, disabled people are provided with:

airplane benefits;
benefits for public transport;
discounts in some stores;
prescriptions for free purchase of medicines;
preferential terms of medical care;
free vouchers to sanatoriums, etc.

Airplane benefits for disabled people of various categories Airplane benefits can be provided to disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 and disabled children. If earlier (before 2005) under Article 30 of the Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation” 50% discounts on air tickets for disabled people were provided, now the legislation has changed somewhat and monetization of benefits has been carried out, and discounts for various categories of disabled people on air tickets are supposedly compensated monthly cash payments (MCP), which includes a social package.

Get compensation and benefits

How the benefit works Depending on the direction of the flight, as well as the season, airlines sell discount tickets for certain categories of citizens. Disabled people can also purchase such tickets at a reduced cost. It is important to note that providing transport benefits depends on the specific disability group. For air travel, a 50% discount is given to disabled people of groups 1 and 2 when traveling by plane, but at a specific time. No restrictions on the number of trips. Particular attention is paid to free travel for disabled people of group 1 to the place of treatment (the offer is valid only once a year). The benefit applies to the person accompanying the disabled person. From cities located in the Far East, people under 23 years of age and citizens of retirement age can fly on discounted tickets. Disabled people with the first disability group can use this benefit.

Discounts for disabled people on air tickets

Why? The fact is that in that year the monetization of benefits was carried out in the Russian Federation. The consequence of this was monthly EDV payments, compensating the right of specific categories of citizens to benefits, including air tickets. This cash payment differs for different categories of beneficiaries.

So, for labor veterans, disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3, these amounts will differ. It is up to the person himself to decide which article to receive the EDV, based on the amount that is most beneficial to him.

For example, disabled people of group 3 receive an increase in pension in the amount of 1534.85 rubles, group 2 - 1917.33 rubles monthly, disabled people of group 1 - 2684.75 rubles. But the additional income of labor veterans is only 630.85 rubles (all data are given as of April 2013). Where is the price of air tickets? And she enters social package services, its amount in 2013 was 92.89 rubles per month.

The social package includes:

provision of necessary medications according to doctor’s prescriptions;
subject to availability medical indications vouchers for sanatorium-resort treatment;
free commuter ride railway transport, as well as on intercity transport to and from the place of treatment.

In the context of our conversation about benefits for air tickets for disabled people, we may be interested in the last point of the social package. Discounts for disabled people (if treatment is required) may be provided on air tickets to the place where this treatment is carried out.

Disabled people can count on the listed benefits only if they have a fully developed social package. Next, you need to find out the details at the pension fund branch, where at a minimum you need to get a certificate that a recruitment has been issued for a disabled person social services, and he did not refuse it.

Benefits for disabled people of group 2 on the plane

The third group of disability is considered to be working, since diseases and injuries, the identification of which gives the right to disability, do not interfere with the implementation of certain types of work activity and receiving earnings for performing work. In this regard, disabled people of group III receive the right to smallest number benefits:

for free travel on any public transport (bus, train, tram, but not taxi) inside settlement and around the suburbs;
for discounts when purchasing railway tickets in the amount of half the fare from October 1 to May 15 of each year, as well as for a similar discount when purchasing a ticket at other times once a year.

Moreover, the number of such travel documents for each flight is limited. Subsidies for air tickets are provided by air carriers that have signed a special agreement with Rosaviatsiya, which specifies a specific tariff for air tickets, taking into account seasonal factors. Therefore, discounted plane tickets can only be purchased at certain times of the year. So, in Central Russia they are bought from May to September, and in the Far East - from November 1 to March 31. However, prices for air tickets for pensioners and air tickets for schoolchildren have been reduced throughout the year. Who can purchase a discounted plane ticket? Please note Special attention that only a few categories of Russians have the right to subsidized tickets, including “the least protected segments of the population.”

Discounts and benefits on air tickets for disabled people

Please also note that conditions for discounted tickets for disabled people may vary depending on different parts Russia.

Vim-Avia
Grozny Airlines
Mirny Aviation Enterprise
Nordavia

Ural Airlines
UTair

We emphasize that each private carrier sets its own tariff, so the final cost of the document, even taking into account a 50 percent discount, may differ significantly from analogues.

Even before purchasing a ticket, we recommend comparing the cost of flights to a specific city from different carriers and choosing the most profitable one.

Air travel for preferential categories of citizens of Russia and Ukraine

The same applies to an accompanying disabled person of group 1 (there can only be one person). You can purchase these discounted tickets from any company providing transport services on the territory of Ukraine, regardless of their form of ownership and subordination.
This is stipulated in the law “On Transport”, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada in 1994. In order to purchase a discount ticket, you must present the established form of identification to the cashier.

Expected prospects Despite the fact that the law on preferential tickets for disabled people in Ukraine is still in effect, the Verkhovna Rada is already considering a bill designed to replace benefits for pensioners and disabled people with targeted assistance.

It is expected to be adopted at the end of 2014. In a word, monetization awaits Ukraine. We can only hope that there it will proceed more gently and calmly than in Russia in 2005.

Also, disabled people of the first group, disabled children of the second group, disabled people of the third group and people who accompany them can take advantage of this opportunity. In this case, a person applying for a discounted flight must be registered in one of the following regions:

Transbaikalia;
Far North;
Kaliningrad region;
Far Eastern region.

Since the state pays for the cost of the flight from budget funds, flight directions are limited.

Rules, tariffs and conditions for purchasing subsidized tickets

This list also includes discounts on the purchase of air tickets. So what kind of discount does a disabled person have the right to demand when buying a plane ticket? The legislation of Ukraine and the Russian Federation answers this question differently.
