How to check in for a UTair flight at Vnukovo airport
Before any flight, the passenger must complete the check-in procedure. It is necessary to register not only passengers, but also the amount of baggage taken on board the airliner. Keeping track of the exact number of travelers and their luggage is necessary for their correct distribution on the plane during the flight.
Each airline has its own rules for checking in before boarding a plane. But almost all air carriers offer air tickets in paper or electronic form. Regardless of the type of travel document, each passenger must go through the registration procedure. At the end of check-in, the tourist is issued a boarding pass, which confirms the ability to fly on a specific flight.
Uteyr Airlines is a large and popular air carrier with international and domestic flights. Passengers who have bought tickets from this air carrier are interested in the possibility of online check-in for departure from Vnukovo airport.
The registration procedure within the walls of the airport is the most famous and popular among the visitors of Vnukovo. This method is inferior to electronic check-in, which passengers can go through on their own, and without leaving home. Not all tourists trust the issuance of boarding passes via the Internet, but this method has certain advantages.
For Vnukovo passengers who decide to purchase a ticket from Uteyr, there are several ways to register online:
- using the official website of the air carrier or airport;
- through third-party resources on the Internet;
- using a mobile application;
- in the terminal located on the territory of Vnukovo airport.
In the latter case, the electronic check-in is carried out by the passenger independently, and not with the help of airport or airline employees.
If you do not trust the Internet or do not know how to use modern gadgets, you can contact the airport staff. Check-in before departure is carried out at special counters.
If you are one of the passengers who prefer to receive a boarding pass in the usual way, then arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before the plane takes off. If your way to Vnukovo passes through the whole city, consider the possibility of traffic jams, which will increase the travel time. You cannot be late for check-in, otherwise you will not be able to make the flight. Even if you arrive at the airport before the departure of the airliner, but at the end of check-in, you will not be allowed on the plane.
In order not to wander on the territory of the air harbor, inquire in advance about the required departure terminal of the aircraft. In the case of an international departure, you need to remember about customs inspections, as well as about passport control provided for any type of flight. These procedures require additional time, so arrive at the airport well in advance.
For passengers of international flights, check-in for Utair aircraft is available 3 hours before departure. This time will be quite enough for travelers who arrived at the airport in advance.
40-45 minutes from the departure of the airliner, the registration procedure ends at Vnukovo airport. This rule applies to both domestic and international flights. If you arrive at the airport later than this time, you will not be allowed on the plane due to the lack of a boarding pass. The airline employees cannot start re-check-in for late passengers.
Customers of the airline Uteyr can register at Vnukovo at Terminal A, located on the second floor of the airport. Each airline has its own check-in counters, so it will not be difficult to find representatives of Yuteyr. This air carrier takes care of customers by setting up several counters for issuing baggage tickets. Although many airlines perform these actions at the same counter.
Each UTair rack is designed for a specific purpose:
- Tourists who decide to go outside Russia, but not to the EU countries, register at counters 051-070.
- The counters from 074 to 077 accept travelers traveling to the European Union.
- Those who have completed electronic check-in should visit counter number 078 to drop off their passenger baggage.
- Desks 079 and 080 are designated for check-in procedures for travelers who have purchased business class flights.
If UTair counters change in Vnukovo, you can find out about it on special information boards located in the airport building, as well as on the official website of the airline. Uteyr passengers go through the rest of the control procedures also on the second floor, where the boarding gates are located.
For the convenience of travelers, there are special kiosks on the territory of the airport. In them, passengers can check-in on their own, without resorting to the help of employees of the airline or the airport terminal. Passing the registration procedure through the terminal is one of the types of electronic registration.
Special kiosks are equipped with the necessary equipment and Internet access. The passenger can check in and choose the seats he likes in the airliner's cabin. In addition, there is a significant saving in time, because there is no need to stand in long queues at the check-in counters.
Passengers can find electronic terminals near UTair counters, also on the second floor of Terminal A. Several more self-service kiosks are located on the ground floor of the terminal, next to the entrance to Vnukovo Airport.
The advantage of electronic check-in through the terminal is the ability to receive a boarding pass one day before the date of departure. The issuance of boarding passes at special kiosks ends in 40-45 minutes, just like the usual procedure at special counters.
Who can use the electronic terminal?
These passengers include:
- travelers who have bought an electronic ticket;
- tourists without animals;
- passengers who do not accompany disabled people or other people's children under 14 years of age;
- those who do not need additional airline services.
Travelers can go through the necessary registration procedure within the walls of their home or office. This requires Internet access and a device to access the World Wide Web. Electronic check-in is available to passengers using special applications or on various websites.
The issuance of boarding passes in electronic form begins one day before departure, and ends 40-45 minutes before. Upon completion of check-in, Uteyr passengers must print out a boarding receipt on their own. Some flights operated by a well-known air carrier may require additional check-in conditions. But you can find out about this on the official website of Utair.
For the convenience of passengers of Vnukovo airport, there are devices on the territory of the airport that allow you to print a boarding pass from a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device.
There are restrictions for certain categories of passengers who cannot receive electronic boarding receipts. In addition to those who fall into the list of restrictions on registration through the terminal, these include:
- passengers for whom special conditions of service are required;
- travel companies with more than 9 people;
- passengers of charter or rotational directions;
- travelers of codeshare flights;
- passengers of flights with transfers.
If you are not included in the list of those who are prohibited from electronic registration, use a modern, convenient and fast way. Electronic check-in allows you to significantly save personal time and contributes to the selection of the best passenger seats in the aircraft cabin.
