OREANDA-NEWS. August 11, 2010. Ural Airlines has enabled online check-in for its passengers departing from St. Petersburg Pulkovo Airport. They can now check in at home or at their office. It saves time, since no check-in is necessary for them at the airport. During online check-in, passengers can select desired seats in the airplane.

Following prompts step by step, users check in themselves as well as other passengers travelling with them, and receive the boarding passes at a convenient time (online check-in opens 23 hours and finishes 4 hours prior to the departure).

To check in, one should visit the airline's site www.uralairlines.com, select the menu item "Online Check-in for Flight" on the home page and follow the system prompts. The passenger is identified either by the e-ticket number, or by his/her name and reference number, or by the number of the Wings card. To complete the check-in, the passenger has to print out the boarding pass or the check-in confirmation. Should it happen so that you have not been able to print out the boarding pass or have simply left it behind, you will have to come to the check-in counter. Even if you do not have the boarding pass with you, all the information entered during online check-in will be stored in the airline's database, and the seat you have booked will be kept for you. 

Please note that online check-in is available for passengers with ELECTRONIC TICKETS for any direct flight from Pulkovo to destinations in Russia, the CIS, Israel, Turkey, Egypt, but not - yet - to airports in EU countries, China and the UAE.

It is especially convenient to passengers travelling without hold baggage: they can come to the airport just before the start of boarding, spared the nuisance of queuing before the counter. If you take only hand baggage according to the requirements of the airline, you can arrive at the airport at the time most convenient for you.

Please note that the airline has special conditions for some passenger categories. You can read all the details here or call the 24-hour passenger support service at +7 800-2000-262 (toll-free within Russia).
