According to Rosstat, in 2013 more than 18 million Russians traveled abroad. According to experts, the flow of people leaving the country will only increase this summer. In connection with the onset of the summer vacation season, Aeroexpress offers a wide range of tariff plans for its services. With their help, you can choose the most convenient option for your trip to and from the airport.
Among the tariffs of the company there are those that are suitable for businessmen and vacationers with the whole family, and passengers who have to combine different types of transport, such as metro, bus or trolleybus, with a trip by Aeroexpress to the airport and back. Many economical options are also offered to passengers who fly frequently, and therefore it is more profitable for them to pay immediately for 20, 30 or 50 Aeroexpress rides.
It is worth clarifying that when choosing the "Standard" and "Round-trip" fares, it is cheaper and more practical to pay for travel on the Aeroexpress online. The cost of these tickets purchased through electronic sales channels, namely: on the company's website www.aeroexpress.ru, using the Aeroexpress mobile application, as well as using the Pay @ Gate contactless technology, is 15% cheaper. The uniqueness of the Pay @ Gate technology lies in the fact that you can pay for travel in one touch by simply placing a bank card with Visa payWave or MasterCard PayPass contactless technology to the reader on the turnstile.
In addition, there are alternative options for purchasing an electronic ticket for Aeroexpress, however, its cost will be 400 rubles, as in the ticket offices and ticket vending machines installed in all terminals of the company. This can be done on the websites of the company's agents, as well as using the "Mobile Bank" service of Sberbank, by sending to a single number 900 with the text "AE SHM" (for trips to other airports, the following abbreviations are used: M - Moscow, Sh - Sheremetyevo, D - Domodedovo, V - Vnukovo). In the response message, you will receive an SMS code to confirm the payment for the electronic ticket.
Let's take a note of the tariff plans and find out how you can get by high-speed train from the city to the airport and back.
Choosing a tariff
The "Business" tariff is most suitable for those who prefer to make business trips with the comfort corresponding to their business status. The ticket will cost 900 rubles. The advantage of this fare is that it provides the passenger with a fixed seat in the carriage. It was about business, and then all of a sudden: In addition to the standard one-way fare, you can also choose the "Round Trip" option. In this case, the return ticket is valid for 30 days. This option is especially suitable for those who, going on a long trip, already have a return plane ticket and do not want to worry about buying an Aeroexpress ticket from the airport to the city again. It is also ideal for those who meet relatives or business partners at the airport and want to take care of the availability of a return ticket in advance.
There are several tariff plans that allow you not to waste time buying tickets for metro and city transport. This is especially critical for those arriving by Aeroexpress in the morning or evening rush hours, when queues line up at the metro ticket offices.
The problem will be solved by the Plus Metro fare, which gives the right to travel by Aeroexpress in one direction and for one trip in the metro.
The “inter-airport” tariff includes two trips by Aeroexpress, as well as one trip by choice - by public transport (bus, trolleybus, tram) or by metro. This option is especially suitable for those arriving at one airport and planning to take off from another airport.
The name of the “Business trip” tariff speaks for itself, although it is suitable not only for those who often travel on business. It gives the right to travel by Aeroexpress round-trip, as well as two trips by public transport, be it metro, bus, trolleybus or tram.
"Family" fare is suitable for those who travel with loved ones. The whole family can travel with one ticket: two adults, as well as up to three children under the age of 14. Everyone knows that traveling with small children is not easy, so Aeroexpress has found a solution to family problems with a special fare.
For those who fly frequently, an appropriate rate for ten trips is offered for 2,700 rubles. You don't have to be a mathematician to estimate the scale of the savings when choosing this tariff. There are also subscriptions for 20, 30 and even 50 trips. In each case, the cost of one trip is reduced several times. Therefore, if you fly more than once or twice a week, the advantages of “wholesale” fares are obvious.
A wide range of fares and payment methods makes buying Aeroexpress tickets even more convenient, which is especially important during holidays. Traditionally, at this time, there is a significant increase in the load on Moscow highways, and Aeroexpress trains are still the only reliable and comfortable way to get to the airport, bypassing traffic jams.
