With the advent of the internet, many purchases can be made online. For example, you can buy yourself a train ticket without even leaving your home. To do this, you just need to go through the electronic registration on the website.
Benefits of electronic registration
Many trains in Russia, Ukraine and other LIC countries can be operated without old paper tickets. To do this, it is enough to buy a ticket online and complete electronic registration on the website. When boarding the train, passengers will not be required to present the original letterhead of the paper ticket. All that is needed for electronic check-in is a passport (or any other document through which the purchase was made) and a printed boarding pass (or its image on a mobile device). This is necessary in order for the conductor to read the barcode by the scanner.
An e-ticket has a number of advantages - you no longer need to go to the train station for a ticket, you do not need to stand in queues at the ticket office, etc. This is especially true when there are few tickets left for the desired flight - you can buy one of the remaining tickets in just a couple of minutes.
Registration of electronic registration
Electronic registration (ER) is issued literally with one click. You can issue an ER for almost any Russian trains that travel within the country. It also doesn't matter if you land at an intermediate or starting station.
If the “ER” icon is displayed next to the flight when buying a ticket on the website, it means that electronic check-in is possible for this flight. After issuing and paying for the ticket, a letter with a boarding pass and an e-ticket number is sent to the e-mail specified during check-in. This coupon needs to be printed or photographed on your phone.
Also, when issuing an electronic ticket, you need to know some of the nuances. For example, you can go through the ER or refuse it at any convenient time, only no later than 60 minutes before the train leaves its starting station. If the ER is no longer available, you can still have time to buy a paper ticket.
If you need to take luggage with you, you will not be able to go through the ER, since baggage can be checked only if a paper ticket is presented. If the passenger missed the train and had an electronic ticket, then the money will not be refunded in this case.
If an e-ticket has already been purchased, and then the need to travel by train has disappeared, then the ticket can be returned. You can do this on the website through your personal account or by clicking on the link designed to return the ticket from the letter that was received after paying for the ticket.
