Is it possible to fly inside Russia with a passport

You can buy a plane ticket using your passport for both domestic Russian flights and international ones. This document is intended to prove the identity of a Russian citizen outside the territory. But within the country, it is also valid and must be used for flights within the territory of the Russian Federation.

The Russians are not used to flying with a passport on the territory of Russia. But there are times when a passport that proves the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation cannot be used to make a reservation, buy an air ticket or check in for a flight for the following reasons:

1. Loss (loss or theft);
2. Damage and non-compliance with the requirements of public services;
3. Expiration date (in this case, it must be replaced);
4. Other reasons (the passenger has forgotten at home).

In such cases, citizens have a question whether it is possible to buy a plane ticket using its foreign counterpart or not. Yes you can.

There are situations when a reservation was made in advance using a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, but before the flight it turned out to be invalid, or was lost. In this case, is it possible to present another document at check-in for the flight?

If such a fact is discovered in advance, then the way out of the situation may be to change the relevant data in the electronic ticket. This procedure is paid. For example, in Pobeda airline the service costs 4000 rubles. You can make changes through the company's website in your personal account, or by calling the contact center. This must be done no later than 4 hours before the plane takes off. You can also change the fields through the ticket office of the airport, no later than 40 minutes before the departure of the flight, since it is at this moment that the check-in of passengers stops.

With a document that has expired or whose data does not correspond to that specified in the itinerary receipt, they will not be allowed on board the aircraft.

How to buy a ticket on the plane Pobeda with a passport

In your personal account on the official Victory website, when making a reservation and filling out the data, at the second step in the "Type of document" field, you can select the item "Foreign passport" and enter the relevant data.

Enter the surname and first name in Latin letters, according to the prompt "Enter the surname in full, as in the certifying document." We enter the patronymic in Russian letters.

Thus, it is permissible to fly in Russia with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or with its foreign equivalent. It all depends on the situation and the wishes of the passenger. If the route of the flight to another country includes a transfer in Russia, then it is advisable to issue both tickets using the second option, so as not to carry both with you at once.
