Many people are quite biased about charter flights - it is believed that they never take off or arrive on schedule, that the planes on charter flights are always bad. However, in reality, charter flights are not at all as bad as they are said to be, moreover, they are often much cheaper than regular flights, and finally, charter flights often fly to places where you can otherwise only get with a connection.
Instructions
Step 1
Charter flights are those that are not included in the main schedule. These are one-time flights, the number of which increases when demand increases - that is, during the high tourist season. The charter flight is carried out according to the "chain" principle - the plane brings passengers and picks up those departing. Thus, if a resort is supposed to be visited once a week, accordingly, a charter flight will fly there once a week, bringing "new" tourists and taking away "old" ones. Charter flights are operated by many airlines and they are operated, as a rule, by the same planes of these companies as regular ones.
Step 2
As a rule, the tour operator buys the plane and only then, based on their expenses and income, sets the price for the air tickets, so charter flights are cheaper. It often happens that closer to the departure date, the operator still has free tickets for the flight, and in order to cover the losses at least partially, the price is reduced by 50-70%, which turns out to be even more profitable for buyers.
Step 3
Charter flights are usually included in the overall package of the tour, however many operators sell both tours and tickets separately, in addition, there are operators that specialize exclusively in tickets. In order to purchase a ticket for a charter flight, it is enough to set the corresponding request in any search engine.
Step 4
The most famous among the companies selling charter flights are https://www.charters.ru/ and https://www.chartex.ru/. These are sites with fairly simple navigation. For example, in order to order a ticket on https://www.charters.ru/, you need to select a direction (for example, Greece) in the corresponding menu bar. You will see a table where the departure dates (in the first column), return dates (in the second) and prices (in the third) will be distributed according to the list of cities. After choosing the dates you need, click on the "Order" link in the last column. Next, enter the details of the contact person (full name, phone number, e-mail) and wait for a call from a company representative. Already with him you can clarify the details - the number of passengers, etc. Please note that the website contains prices for one passenger, round trip.
Step 5
The ordering procedure on the website https://www.chartex.ru/ is a little more convenient. Select the country you want to travel to, then the city. After that, you will see a table with a list of departure dates (first column) and return dates that you can select. Here you can also select the number of passengers, including children and babies. Then click "Order".
Step 6
On the next page, enter the passport details of passengers and contact information, and then wait for a call from the manager.
