What are charters

Charters are charter flights ordered by a tour operator or legal entity on the basis of lease agreement. When a travel agency intends to send tourists to some resort or city where they do not fly scheduled airlines, then in this case, the travel agency needs to rent a plane from the airline on its own. Most charter flights operate during the summer months when beach season. If regular flights were launched in these directions, then the airlines would have to work at a loss, since no one will fly in the winter to where there is “off season”.

Types of charters

Split- a combined flight, when one segment of the route is a regular flight.
shuttle- this is when an aircraft constantly delivers and picks up new air passengers.
Poly- this is when passengers change aircraft several times.
sludge charter- this is when an aircraft delivers tourists to their destination, waits for them, and then returns with them back.

More about charter flights

Charter flights operate different airlines, even those that operate regular flights, so the service on charter flights will be no worse than on regular flights of the same airline.

Charters are not low-cost airlines, so the price of air tickets for charters includes hand luggage and luggage and meals. Everything is exactly the same as on regular flights. And on low-cost airlines, you only buy a flight, and everything else is paid extra, since not everyone carries luggage and not everyone wants to pay for food on short flights.

Charters are the same regular flights, only rented by a tour operator during the peak tourist season.

Which airlines operate charter flights

Almost all Russian airlines operate charter flights. Some more, some less. There are those that specialize in charter flights, but also operate regular flights.

How to buy air tickets for charter flights

You can search for tickets for charter flights in a search engine, but not earlier than one week before departure. There is no guarantee that free charter tickets will be on sale, as they are mostly sold by travel agencies. They sell tours that already include a charter flight. If there are empty seats on the plane, then tickets for them go on sale at air agencies. You can wait until the last minute, but the tickets will not appear.

The biggest chances to buy tickets for charters is to look for them at the beginning and end of the season, and not at the very peak, when the bulk of tourists fly.

To buy the cheapest air tickets for charters, you need to buy them back and forth with a return return in exactly 14 days, since the bulk of the vouchers are designed specifically for this term.

The advantage of charter flights over regular flights

The closer the departure, the cheaper the tickets will be, as it is important to sell all the tickets on the plane.
Most often, charter flights are much cheaper than regular flights, if any exist in this direction.
Charters fly to beautiful cities and resorts where regular flights do not fly.

Tourists who buy package tours often fly on a charter flight.

Charter flights are additional flights that are organized during the high season by order of tour operators. To transport everyone who wants to relax, the tour operator rents a number of aircraft from the airline. Tickets for charter flights are sold to tourists as part of package tours. Unlike scheduled routes, charter departure dates are approximate, as such flights operate outside the main flight schedule.

Do not confuse charter flights with low-cost airlines that fly regularly.

What is the difference between a charter flight and a regular flight?

Advantages of regular flights:

• there is a clear timetable;
• time and airport of departure become known at the time of ticket issuance (immediately after purchase);
• you can participate in the airline's bonus programs and receive discounts;
• the ticket can be exchanged or returned (only if the ticket was not purchased at a non-refundable fare).

Cons of regular flights:

• the closer the departure, the more expensive the ticket;
• often there are no flights to popular resort towns- in this case, you will have to get with transfers.

Advantages of charter flights

• only direct flights;
• a ticket is sometimes several times cheaper than a similar one on a regular flight. The closer the departure, the cheaper the ticket - the tour operator is interested in selling all the seats on the plane;
• Tourists' data can be changed, as tickets are issued immediately before the flight. If at the last moment someone changed their mind about flying, you can quickly reissue the ticket (but not return it);
• fly to resort towns where there are no regular flights;
• new aircraft are used - they are cheaper to operate and do not need to be repaired often.

Cons of charter flights

• the exact time and airport of departure are known 24 hours in advance, sometimes earlier. Also, the time may change several times before departure;
• it is impossible to exchange or return a ticket;
• miles do not accumulate;
• Departure may be delayed: regular flights always have priority at the airport.

When buying a connecting flight, make sure you have enough time to connect. A charter flight may be delayed and you will miss the second one.

Which airlines do tour operators work with?

Buying package tour with a certain tour operator, it is possible to estimate in advance which airline can carry out transportation. Large tour operators have their own airlines, smaller ones enter into long-term contracts with other air carriers. Predicting an airline with absolute accuracy before buying a tour is difficult, especially given the fact that it can change after the purchase.

Popular tour operators and their airlines

In addition to these airlines, tour operators may cooperate with other air carriers or among themselves. Sometimes tour operators replace charter flights with regular ones after buying a tour.
