Ural Airlines made the process of booking plane tickets via the air carrier’s official website much easier, the airline’s press service reports.

Shopping for tickets at the company’s online booking office is now more convenient. Passengers can use their bank card to pay for a ticket virtually up to the start of a check-in. To make sure these payments are secure, only 3dSecure-supporting bank cards are accepted for payment if the transaction is carried out eighteen hours before departure time or later.

Tickets become unavailable for purchase at the company’s website www.uralairlines.com four hours before the flight; before the improvements, sales were closed eighteen hours before departure time. This new system applies to all the domestic and international flights operated by the airline, but does not work for flights operated around the CIS.
