What's the cheapest way to fly? Buy a charter or block air ticket! Many have long given up on package tours, because there are many ways to "collect" your own trip and save a lot on it. The article contains all the detailed information about what a charter ticket is and how to buy it.

How a charter flight differs from a regular flight

Charter flights have their drawbacks. One of the main ones is flight delays. Tourists are forced to wait not because the pilots are not ready or there are some problems with the plane, but regular flights are a priority over charter flights. The fact is that no matter what force majeure arises (bad weather, technical problems at the airport, etc.), the first in the queue for departure are regular flights. No need to worry, delays do not happen as often as you might think. Another disadvantage is the inconvenient departure time. Again, because they are forced to catch "windows" between the departures of regular flights.

Practical advice from GuruTurizma:

  • What to do if your flight is canceled
  • How to return a plane ticket
  • What to do if you missed your plane

Another difference is that regular ones are called so that there are many flights in the direction and you can fly for 2, 3, 4 days or more. Charter flights are usually only possible for 7, 10 or 14 days. The most important advantage of charter flights is their cost. Tickets cost 2 or even 3 times cheaper. For the sake of such savings, it is worth closing our eyes to some inconveniences.

Do not think that when buying a charter ticket, your rights will be violated if the flight is delayed for a long time (more than 6 hours). The airline is obliged to provide you with a hotel and food absolutely free of charge, just like the owners of regular flights.

Air tickets for regular flights can be printed at the time of purchase, air tickets for charter are issued only on the eve of departure. As far as refunds are concerned, unlike a regular flight ticket, a charter ticket cannot be returned. You can find a new buyer yourself and resell it or give it to a good person.

Many may argue that a charter or block air ticket is not always cheaper than a tour purchased from an operator. For example, to the resorts of Turkey and Egypt, an independent trip will cost more. Most often, this is exactly the case, especially when the tour operator offers "last minute" tours. But there are exceptions, cheap air tickets to these directions can be bought for a special offer from the low-cost airline Pegasus Airlines. He often runs sales.

If you spend more time searching, you can find cheaper options. It is especially advantageous to buy air tickets to Istanbul. There are also interesting offers for all other directions, but with a transfer.

Operators offer cheap tours, as they pay in advance for a block of seats on regular flights and book charters. In addition, they have the opportunity to book hotel rooms in bulk at a very competitive price. If you plan an independent trip in advance, then you can find suitable offers on aggregator sites (booking.com, hotels.ru, hotels.com, etc.).

When to buy charter and block flights

If for regular flights it is better to buy air tickets several months in advance, then with charter tickets the opposite is true. The lowest price for blocks and charters a few days before departure, or even a day, and even better if it is a visa direction. Do not expect such tickets to be available during the “high” tourist season (the period of children's vacations, summer, New Year or November holidays). At any other time, the purchase is quite possible. In general, if you want to relax on holidays, then buy a ticket in advance for a regular flight.
