Before boarding the aircraft, each passenger is required to check in - these are the rules enshrined in most airlines. The Pobeda low-cost airline is no exception. Online check-in is a great solution for those who value every minute of their time.
If you have no time to stand in line at the airport, we suggest you go through this procedure in advance using the online check-in service.
Benefits of online registration
Many people prefer to check in for a flight in advance because:
- This is the absence of the need to stand in a noisy queue at the counter at the airport.
- Saving time is another important advantage of online registration. You do not - it will be enough to arrive in just an hour.
- With online check-in, you get a great opportunity to choose the most convenient place for you on board.
- If you are late for check-in, you just need to go to the site from your mobile phone and go through a simple procedure in a couple of minutes from anywhere, even on the way to the airport in a taxi.
Of course, you may have doubts about the reliability of this method if you have never tried to register on the Internet. Don't worry - millions of passengers have already done it and appreciated all the listed benefits. Today, a huge number of people use online check-in, which saves them a lot of time and simplifies the boarding process.
Conditions for online check-in for Pobeda flights
At the moment, only passengers flying in different directions from Moscow can go through online registration before a flight. This is a temporary restriction, but the airline has not yet announced its validity.
Online check-in becomes available one day before departure. Go to pobeda.aero, fill out a simple form, and then print out your issued boarding pass, which you will need at the airport. It will contain detailed information about your flight.
During the online check-in process, you will be able to add certain paid services, such as buying insurance and carrying luggage. Their cost will be the same as when ordering a ticket online, so this method is more profitable than issuing directly at the airport.
Please note that if you have luggage, you will need to additionally check in at the baggage claim desk, arriving there at least 40 minutes before departure. If the baggage dimensions comply with the hand baggage allowance, you do not need to check it out. In all other cases, it is required to pay for its transportation in advance online or through a call center.

From October 29, Pobeda introduced paid check-in at foreign airports. If you do not want to pay a fee when boarding a plane, read our article on how to register Pobeda online and fly for free.
Victory: paid check-in at the airport
How to register for the Pobeda flight without surcharges:
- register at the counter of any Russian airport upon departure from Russia and on domestic flights - registration is absolutely free;
- when departing from a foreign airport, go through online check-in through the pobeda.aero website or the Pobeda app, save your boarding pass and do not pay extra at the airport.
Checking in for a flight is a mandatory procedure. Thanks to it, the airline knows that you will definitely fly, assigns you a seat on board and stores information about your luggage. And the boarding pass received after check-in serves as a pass to the plane.
The Pobeda company at foreign airports charges 25 euros per passenger for check-in and from 0 to 10 euros for printing a ticket (depending on the airport). In order not to pay extra to the carrier - delve into the details.
For babies under 2 years old flying without a separate seat and children flying unaccompanied, registration will be free in any case.
How long does the check-in for the Pobeda flight start?
If you don’t have a boarding pass and you are late for the end of check-in, consider that you missed the plane. Therefore, it is important to know the start and end times of check-in for your flight.
- Check-in for the Pobeda flight at the counter at the airport starts 2-3 hours and ends 40 minutes before departure.
- Online check-in outside of Russia - starts a day before departure (24 hours), ends 4 hours.
- Online check-in for Vnukovo flights starts 24 hours before and ends 40 minutes before and is available only for passengers with paid seats.
- Online check-in from Pulkovo starts 24 hours in advance, ends 4 hours in advance and is available only on domestic flights for passengers with a purchased seat.
If check-in is not completed online, arrive early: 40 minutes before the departure of the plane, the counter will be closed. And if you have an electronic boarding pass, the main thing is to be in time for the gates, which will be closed 25 minutes before the flight departure time.
Please note that checked baggage is checked in at the check-in counter, that is, no later than 40 minutes before the departure of the aircraft.
How to register online for Pobeda
Register in your personal account on the pobeda.aero website, if you did not do this when buying a ticket. This will make it easier to manage your booking. Better do it at home before flying abroad. 
Go to the My Bookings menu and find the desired booking. Under the direction of the flight and dates you will see the navigation bar, on the right, look for the item Online check-in. If you go to the booking itself, the online registration button can be found at the top right. 
If you want to buy more luggage or choose seats, do it before checking in. Although at the time of registration it is also possible. The procedure itself is in many ways similar to the process of making a reservation for a ticket: check the passenger data, refuse to select a seat, luggage and insurance (or buy the necessary one) and confirm the check-in.
At the end, an electronic boarding pass will be displayed on the screen. It can be downloaded directly from the final page. You will also receive an e-mail with the subject "Boarding pass for a ticket" and an attached pdf file. 
Important! download the boarding pass in PDF format and save it on your phone for each flying passenger. If possible, print a paper copy on a printer.
Despite the fact that the coupon itself says: be sure to print and take the airport with you, at all foreign airports, except for Antalya, you can present a boarding pass from the phone screen. When departing from Antalya, a ticket printed on paper is required.
Make sure that the phone works and the boarding number can be read from the phone screen. It will be required to be presented at the entrance to the inspection area, when passing through customs and at the boarding gate.
Keep in mind that a phone photo taken from a printed boarding pass may not count as devices at the airport. Save the PDF file or take a screenshot from the registration page.
Online registration Victory by e-ticket
If there is no personal account or access to it, register using the ticket number or booking code. Go to the site pobeda.aero, look for the menu item Online registration at the top right and follow the link. 
Enter the booking number in the left field and the email address that you indicated when booking, on the right, or 13 digits of the e-ticket number. 
The passenger check-in page lists all flights and passengers included in the booking. The inscription “Unable to download a boarding pass for this airport” means that you need to check in at the airport desk (since there is no fee in Russia).
Find the right flight and go through the check-in process for each passenger. Save the resulting electronic boarding pass to your device.
What to do if online registration Pobeda does not work
Unfortunately, since the start of paid registration, complaints about failures in the system have not stopped. Some passengers are unable to issue a boarding pass on their own due to problems in the Pobeda system.
How to avoid problems with online registration Pobeda
- Do not use the application for registration: the maximum errors are registered in it.
- Register on a desktop computer, there are fewer failures on a PC than on mobile.
- Provide for the possibility of working in several browsers: if registration fails in one, complete the process in another.
- A day before departure, find a place with good Wi-Fi in order to calmly go through all the stages.
If online registration Pobeda is not available
- Take a screenshot of the message at the time of the crash, or take a screenshot of your computer.
- Try again after a while.
- Register in your personal account and try to register through it.
- Change the browser, phone model, use the site pobeda.aero instead of the application.
If registration fails, save screenshots of system error messages. Present them at the front desk. If at the airport they still took a fee, write an appeal to the post office [email protected], provide your details, flight number and ticket number, and attach screenshots of the error message. Letters are considered from 7 to 10 days, in most cases the fee is returned if there is evidence of a system failure.
Pleasant flight!
Specifically, is it possible to do something if you have already bought a ticket for the Victory, but forgot to include luggage, choose seats, etc., I decided to highlight this topic. Looking ahead, I will say that a lot is possible, no later than 4 hours before departure. Instead of pouring bile about non-standard rules, we will arm ourselves with information to prevent unpleasant situations in the future 🙂
Just in case, let me remind you of a couple of important points
- if someone has forgotten the unusual rules for carrying luggage on Pobeda, then we turn to;
- we read about how to avoid unnecessary services and, in general, how to buy a ticket, as well as whether you need to choose seats in the cabin.
Booking Management
First, how to get into the control panel of your booking. You can do this in two ways:
Itinerary receipt and opportunities
We got to the page with the itinerary receipt, excellent. Here we see data about the passenger, about the flight. On the right side, some possibilities are presented:
Here are the links we are interested in. What is available to us:
- online registration
- possibility to add additional baggage to the ticket for a standard fee, as well as make insurance;
- the ability to select seats in the cabin for a standard fee;
- the ability to change passenger data for 4000 rubles, it is very necessary, thank you;
- the opportunity to refuse the flight (why?? tickets are non-refundable ...)
- the ability to change the date or even the direction of the flight with a surcharge that can be beneficial;
- e-ticket with flight data.
More about some points.
Online check-in for a flight
Online check-in possible only for flights from Moscow – Vnukovo.
According to the website, it “begins 24 hours and ends 40 minutes before the flight departure time. After completing the online check-in, you must print your boarding pass (this can also be done at the airport) and arrive at the airport no later than 1 hour before the flight departure. Baggage can be checked in at special baggage check-in counters.
Why register in advance if you can't choose your seat for free? Well, as an option, if you are late for the airport, you can check in online. Although, you still need to have time to check in your luggage.
Baggage and hand luggage
If you need luggage, then we pay extra for it in advance!
In short, I will say that the cost of any ticket includes one piece of hand luggage with dimensions not exceeding 36 x 30 x 27. This is very small. But one piece of luggage up to 10 kg and up to 203 cm in the sum of three dimensions can be purchased for 777 rubles.
Complete Victory rules regarding baggage.
If at check-in at the airport you had more luggage than expected, then you can pay extra for it there. BUT! It will be more expensive, on average twice.
Seat selection
Why choose seats in the cabin? Victory is not as usual. If you are traveling alone, then it is not necessary to choose, although it is also possible. But if you are traveling with someone, especially with a child, then do it always! The fact is that you will arrive at the airport for check-in, and there you will be assigned arbitrary seats, possibly in different parts of the aircraft. And you can't change according to the rules. And it's not worth the hassle. You just need to pay in advance for choosing a place. The cheapest options cost only 150 rubles per ticket. I don't think it matters:
Change of name or passport data
So, changing passenger data is possible, but it costs 4000 rubles. Horror, it's easier to buy a new ticket. If you still decide, then you can do this no later than 4 hours before departure.
There are some exceptions, here they are:
I remind you that a call to the Pobeda call center is paid, and it costs 60 rubles per minute of conversation. “The first free operator will answer you. Your call is very important to us” 😀
Change flight
Now Pobeda has the opportunity to change the date of the flight or even the direction. This can be done with an additional payment of 2000 rubles, plus the difference between the price of the old ticket and the new one. Thus, it will be beneficial, but not always.
A simple mathematical calculation proves that it will be more profitable to make an additional payment if both your old and new tickets are both more expensive than 2000 rubles. If at least one of them is cheaper than 2000, then it will be easier to simply issue a new ticket, and “forget” about the old one.
