Many people have heard about the concept of “airline miles,” but it is not always clear what they are and how they can be used. Modern air carriers use loyalty programs to attract more passengers on board their aircraft. Flight service, ticket prices, meals and other services are approximately the same in many companies, and to attract attention, a system for accumulating bonus points called miles has been developed.

They are awarded for certain actions and purchases. For example, when registering on the airline's website, a certain number of bonus miles will be awarded. Points are also awarded when purchasing tickets. Their quantity depends on the cost of the ticket and the distance between the points of departure and arrival. They can be accumulated and used to pay for various services provided by air carriers at any time. Most often this is buying a ticket, that is, the opportunity to fly for free.

S7 airline miles

One of the largest air carriers in Russia also has a bonus miles program called S7 Priority. You can become a member by registering on the airline’s website or calling the service center, then you will be able to enter your personal account.

When you first visit your personal account, it is recommended to link your account to your mobile phone number. If your password is lost, you can easily recover it using SMS activation.

s7 bonus miles have many advantages over competitors.

Accrual of welcome miles.

Depending on how the member was registered, a certain number of miles will be awarded. Each participant who registers on the website or through the service center will receive 500 miles after the first flight with this airline; an adult with a child will receive 1000 miles. When moving from a partner site, the number of bonus points is set by the partner site itself.

Recovering miles from previous flights.

The company generously rewards those who have been using its services for a long time, but due to some circumstances could not previously take part in the loyalty program. For all flights taken during the six months prior to registration, the person will receive bonus points. To do this, you will need to confirm all previous flights in your personal account.

Extended bonus validity period.

Miles do not expire during the year in which they were received, plus the next two years. For those registered in the program under 12 years of age, they do not expire until the applicable birthday.

Extension of accumulated miles.

Extension of the validity of miles is carried out when flying at least once a year on a regular flight of S7 or another partner company. At the end of the year, you can use the extension of the term for a fee, but there is a limit on the number - no more than 10 thousand.

Motivational accumulative system.

The S7 Priority program gives its clients the opportunity to earn even more miles, giving them one or another status over time. The more often a client uses the company’s services, the more prestigious the status and the more bonuses it gives. There are four in total:

• classical;
• silver, allows you to check in at business class counters, choose seats in the cabin and accrues an additional 25% miles on each purchase;
• gold, has the advantages of silver, an additional 50% is charged and access to the superior lounge;
• Platinum, in addition to the advantages of gold and 75% of additional charges from the purchase, allows you to receive free additional service on any flight twice a year.

These and other advantages attract more and more passengers to S7 Airlines.

FAQ

Do you need to save miles if you fly rarely?

Savings are relevant when flying more than 4-5 times a year. Otherwise, you won’t be able to save enough and spend it on time.

Is there any benefit to this or is it a way for airlines to squeeze extra money out of passengers?

With proper travel planning and careful reading of the conditions, the program allows you to save money on purchasing tickets. Paying for tickets with bonuses is a good thing, but you shouldn’t chase unnecessary purchases that some sites push, saying: “We’ll add a bunch of extra points to your account.”

How many miles do you get for air tickets?

The quantity depends on the distance between settlements, tariff and card type. More accurate information can be calculated using the miles calculator on the company’s website, which displays the completed calculation on the screen.

This service from S7 airlines is a good way to save money on flights. Accumulating, receiving and spending bonus miles is available in several ways and everyone will find a convenient way for themselves. If a passenger rarely flies, the accumulated bonuses can be given to another person or spent on a charity program.

*These conditions are current as of May 2018.

Last night I had a thoughtful conversation with the online ticket sales service on the S7 website. Impressions are below par.

It was necessary to buy five round-trip tickets for connecting flights, while we all fly there together, and one flies back on another day. Accordingly, it was very advisable to first book all the tickets so that everyone could get on one flight there, and then pay for both reservations.

There is still no option to simply register on the website to purchase tickets. You can only register in the “S7 priority” program in order to receive a card and accumulate miles on it; there is a “personal account” where you can see confirmed reservations. Okay, I registered - the site shows that it recognizes me.

Alyechka and I sat down to issue tickets for four, chose flights, I filled out passport information, marked “remember data for future flights” for each passenger, and was also pleased with such a convenient option. I got to the transfer for booking, opened the site on a parallel page, started making a second reservation, entered my passport details, returned to the first page, updated - everything was lost there, the details of the second reservation came out. It’s clear - the code is primitive, it binds the operation to the user session, and does not create a unique subsession for it, as is customary on civilized sites.

We got tired of it and started all over again. Along the way, we looked at the FAQ - it mentions the possibility of booking tickets with deferred payment. Yep, exactly what you need. We got to the point of filling out the passport data, I press “substitute passenger data” - and what the hell, the list offers only me, as registered on the site. It turns out that the “remember passenger details” option either does not work at all, or only works at the time of the actual booking - both are equally crooked. By the way, when filling out all subsequent order options, I no longer saw these “remember” checkboxes.

Okay, I filled out all the data again, reached the payment page - the “pay later” option is not offered. I called the help desk and they answered that we needed to remove insurance from the order, then it would appear. There is no option to remove insurance from an already completed order. We swore again and returned to the search page.

I indicated the flights again, skipped the insurance, filled out all the passport details (and this site is damn slow). While filling out, there was a strong feeling that the order pages with and without insurance were served by different scripts, although they looked the same (in one case, spaces were inserted in the passport numbers, in the other - not). I reached the payment page, saw the “pay later” option, and chose it. The reservation confirmation has appeared, you can rejoice. And purely out of curiosity, I decided to see what the subsequent payment mechanism was. I'm looking for where to indicate Visa/MasterCard - but they don't exist. There is QIWI, Svyaznoy, EuroSet, WebMoney and other semi-legal crap, but there are no cards or bank transfers. At this point we really went crazy, I called the help desk again - they explained “there is no technical possibility,” but they couldn’t say anything more precise. They offered to register through an operator over the phone - imagining what it would be like to spell out the passport details of five passengers, I was horrified and refused.

How it is possible to implement a system so as not to have a “technical possibility” is absolutely incomprehensible to me, as a person slightly familiar with programming. This seems to smack of deliberate mockery. Or incredible crookedness.

Then this limitation was found in the FAQ, but who in their right mind would think to be interested in this? This is about the same as prohibiting payment by card if the sum of the digits of the passport number is not divisible by three.

After swearing loudly, I started looking for how to delete the reservation. On the booking page that was prudently left open, there was a “cancel” option, but for some reason it was not available. I went into my personal account, there in the “booking history” section I saw a reservation, and on the right - “delete reservation”. I happily clicked and the reservation disappeared from the list. I returned to the formation page, updated it - it didn’t go anywhere, it hangs, the “cancel” option is still unavailable. I called the help desk again and received an absolutely touching answer - “it’s impossible to cancel a reservation with deferred payment, you have to wait until it expires.” And it will expire, for a minute, for a day. What if, because of this unnecessary frozen reservation, there is not enough space for the current reservation, and after a day there is not enough space for the second reservation? What lovely, spontaneous people did this. :)

At this point we already realized that the idea of ​​getting confirmation for both reservations before payment was covered with a big copper basin, and we would have to do everything sequentially, risking not getting on the same flight all together. Cursing almost continuously, we fill out everything all over again (I again type all the passport data manually). I pay, expecting some kind of scam - to my surprise, the payment goes through the first time.

We made and paid for the second reservation in the same manner - thank God, there were enough seats on the required flights. We breathed a sigh of relief.

Even during the registration process, I had to log in to the site four times - the session kept crashing. It seems that I just saw my name in the title, and after the next redraw of the page - “login/registration”.

This morning they called from S7, reminding me with a sort of dissatisfaction in their voice that I have two reservations for the same flights, one of which has not been paid for. Trying his best not to swear again, he explained that the reservation was hanging solely because of their stupid restrictions. They asked if it was possible to cancel the first reservation right now (yup, that means there is still a technical possibility of canceling, it just requires a reason and more special people). He replied, let them cancel the unpaid reservation.

After about five minutes I became worried that with such an organization, they could easily set foot there and mistakenly cancel what they had paid, and that would be their fate. I went to the website, entered my last name and reservation number - “the service is temporarily unavailable.” In the “booking history” of your personal account it’s even more beautiful - “no bookings were found.” And why it was not found - guess for yourself. Great, I'm shielding.

UPD: I just received a message: “Less than 3 hours left before the end of the waiting time for payment for booking air tickets...”. That is, yesterday’s reservation is still hanging, the morning lady, who was annoyedly figuring out which of the reservations to cancel, didn’t do a damn thing, and some people who wanted to buy tickets for these flights may have had to be severely screwed over. Well done guys, really? :)

S7 has introduced a new service - payment for air tickets through Euroset stores.

Now tickets for all S7 flights booked on the website www.s7.ru, on the mobile website s7.ru or in the airline's Contact Center can be paid in cash at the Euroset retail network.

It’s already been mentioned here, but now specifically about the Euroset.

After booking a flight, the passenger receives an alphanumeric code (reservation number), which must be presented at the Euroset salon when making payment. After payment, the passenger receives an electronic ticket itinerary receipt to his email address, confirming payment and the right to fly. The itinerary receipt also contains all the flight information. At the start of the project, no commission is charged for paying for tickets at Euroset.

“Cooperation with Euroset has become the next stage in the implementation of the S7 electronic services development program. We strive to make purchasing and paying for air tickets as convenient and accessible as possible for passengers. According to our forecasts, 30% of cash payments for S7 air tickets will be accepted at Euroset,” noted S7 e-commerce director Dmitry Chuiko.

“We already have successful experience of cooperation with airlines, for example, in the volume of all payments for tickets of some of them, Euroset took up to 70%. Euroset today is no longer just a network of communication stores. Euroset today is the second most important cash register in Russia. The company's stores are visited by more than 40 million people a month, and at least 10% of them fly on S7 flights. Expanding the number of air carriers with which we work will make the lives of our customers more convenient and simpler,” says Alexander Malis, President of Euroset.

Currently, S7 tickets can also be paid in cash through QIWI (QIWI) instant payment terminals*, through the Yandex.Money payment system** or using a bank card***.

* QIWI (QIWI) is a retail brand of the United Instant Payment System (USMP) company.

** Yandex.Money is a payment system that allows you to make payments on the Internet and store information about deposits and payments.

*** Bank cards accepted for payment on the S7 website are VISA, Master Card, American Express, Dinners Club and JCB (Japan Credit Bureau).

Good afternoon, boys and girls!

This is my first time writing a review, so don’t judge too harshly. I specially registered on the site to protect many people from mistakes.

To try to change my anger to mercy, I try to soften my ardor, but there is no limit to my indignation.

Let's start the story in order.

It so happened that I needed to use the services of an airline. Because they were practically the only company that flies to Domodedovo airport, reviewed the flights and made a ticket reservation. When booking, there was a very good inscription that the ticket can be paid within 24 hours, payment by any method and blah blah blah. For me this was a salvation, because... I made the order late at night, and during the day, with a fresh mind, I decided to think about whether this particular flight was right for me.

So I go into my personal account late in the evening the next day, frantically trying to find my reservation, after a long dance with tambourines and using the right buttons (and you won’t find your reservation directly, you still have to crawl through the bins of the Motherland of the s7 company), that’s all By some miracle I found him. Valiantly I was thrown onto the page:

Beautiful, accessible, but what didn’t I find? But I didn’t find payment for the reservation by bank card . And this horrified me. No, I have almost all of these payment systems, but as far as I know, they all charge a commission and payment takes 10-15 minutes , or even more, payment is made through a third party , And if you decide to refuse the ticket, you will be in trouble !

I still, naively, hoped to somehow pay by card and wandered around the page, which had no explanations, links or generally intuitive assistance to the client. Not finding this opportunity, I decided to create a new order for this flight and overpay the ill-fated 600 rubles (and the ticket had become more expensive within a day), but to protect myself from possible ridiculous consequences. Thanks, of course, to the rebooking autoblocker, it threw me back to my page with the words, this passenger already has such a reservation!

Completely upset, because... There was already less than an hour left before the end of the reservation, there wasn’t much to choose from, I had to pay with Yandex money. And what do you think? For the payment, of course, I was charged a commission of about 350 rubles! Nowadays, this is not a lot of money, taking into account the fact that the ticket has risen in price by more than 600 rubles per day, what is outrageous is that in this way, roughly speaking, customers are deceived and However, the booked ticket was more expensive than the cost when booking!

As I thought, after payment, another 20 minutes passed. My reservation remains unpaid, the money has been written off. I called the operator, what happened to my reservation? Well, I came across a good girl, she told me everything, they received the money, the ticket will be sent a little later. In general, while I was writing this review, the ticket still arrived in the mail. In total, at least 40 minutes have passed since payment. And these 40 minutes you sit in the dark about what happened to your money and where it went.

Before this I flew with this company, because... I’m not picky when it comes to flights and the flights are short in duration; I’ve never had any complaints about the food or staff. On the plus side, I can note that the last time the plane was quiet, sometimes you sit and the caustic hum on board doesn’t understand why the entire flight traumatizes your brain. In my memory, flights have never been delayed.

CONCLUSION: Don't be fooled by flattering promises about bookings. In fact, it exists, but is practically useless. Unpleasant surprises awaited me out of ignorance; perhaps other airlines have the same conditions, but so far I have not encountered this. I hope my review will save someone. I give 3 stars because... they still deceive passengers. Perhaps they provide some information somewhere in the back of customer support, but we read it so rarely, and nothing is said about it when registering!

Booking S7 Airliners tickets- an online service of the airline, which is in high demand among passengers. Using this option, you can buy a travel document in advance and save money, because pre-purchase almost always brings additional benefits to customers.

Booking S7 tickets online - instructions

Online booking of S7 airline tickets takes place in several stages. Each of them requires increased attention and entering correct data. First you need to go to the official website of the carrier, and then enter the necessary information in each section.

Flights

The first stage of booking tickets on the official S7 website is going to the air tickets tab. Here you need to indicate the direction of the flight (from and to). In special fields you can enter the IATA code, the name of the country or city of interest. After this, a list of available directions appears, from which you need to select the appropriate option. The advantage is that the system recognizes the entered data on any keyboard layout (Russian or English).

To open a list of flights that are available for travel, you can click on the list icon located on the right side of the screen. Here, for the convenience of booking tickets, sorting by country or city is available. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to quickly select the direction of interest.

If you have difficulties choosing a flight, you can go to the flight map and select the appropriate direction, taking into account the options provided. If the point of departure and arrival are mixed up, just click the special arrows between the windows to enter information. If something distracts you from the process of booking tickets for S7 Airlines, after a while you can go to the official website and use the option to obtain data on previously viewed flights.

If you wish, you can find cheap air tickets, for which you need to use the flexible search function. The choice of location can be carried out within a wide range of “plus or minus” a month. Please note that when using the flexible search option, you will not be able to select a class of service.

Popular destinations of S7 airlines

The next column is the number of passengers, children and infants (up to 2 years old). Please note that the passenger's age is taken into account on the day of departure of the aircraft. For example, if a child was 11 years old when booking a ticket, and was 12 years old on the day of flight departure, then it is worth booking an adult ticket for him. Otherwise, problems will inevitably arise at the registration stage. But there is a nuance here. If a travel document is taken there and back, if the child turns 12 during this period, he will still fly at a child fare.

Reserving seats on an airplane has a limit on the number of passengers - there should be no more than nine people. In some cases, there may be a limit on the number of economy or business class tickets booked. At the final stage of the procedure, you need to decide on the class.
