Documents for transfer passengers

IMPORTANT!

Due to the restrictions of Wizz Air Airlines, including their subsidiaries, when checking the travel documents of passengers flying to CIS/International countries, take into account the following information:

In accordance with the GOM of the Airline, Wizz Air does not provide transit and transfer transportation of passengers, including those included in the transfer. Wizz Air passengers must check-in for the flight at a regular (not transfer!) check-in counter at the transfer airport, and therefore must have permits/entry documents to the transfer country.

A transfer passenger is a passenger who, in accordance with the air carriage agreement, arrives at an intermediate point on one flight and continues the flight on another flight of the same or another carrier.

Transfer transportation can be carried out both through airports of the Russian Federation and through CIS countries and non-CIS countries.
When purchasing air tickets for transfer flights, you must carefully read the full transportation route and boarding points.

If transfer flights are operated from one airport in the Russian Federation to another, but the transportation is carried out with a landing at a foreign airport with a visa regime, the transfer passenger must have a foreign passport and a valid visa.

Please note that when purchasing a ticket for transfer flights from one foreign country to another, with several stops at airports in the Russian Federation, a non-resident of the Russian Federation must have a valid Russian visa.**

**For more detailed information, you need to contact the Russian consulate located in the foreign country from which you plan to fly.

It is possible for a transfer flight passenger to check in baggage to the final destination in the following cases:

  • all flights on a single route are carried out either by Ural Airlines’ own flights, or jointly with flights of partner airlines;
  • if the passenger has a single or different tickets for the entire route (if the airport has such a technical capability);
  • when paying for excess baggage for all sections of the route;
  • the transfer airport has a special transfer zone;
  • the passenger has all the documents necessary for transfer through airports along the route, as well as for entry to the final destination.

Baggage acceptance ends at the same time as check-in for the flight closes, 40 minutes before the scheduled departure of the flight. You can find out more about the registration process and time restrictions in the “ Check-in/Pre-flight control ” section.

Depending on the directions of the selected transfer route, there are a number of restrictions on baggage registration.

If flights are operated from one foreign country to another , then the passenger must have permission to enter the country of final destination. However, there is no possibility to collect luggage at the transfer airport.

Please note that representatives of the Airline have the right to check with the passenger the availability and relevance of the documents required for transfer through airports along the route, as well as for entry to the final destination. If they are absent or refused to provide documents for verification, the passenger may not be allowed to travel.
