OREANDA-NEWS. December 13, 2007. On the S7 Airlines website you can pay for tickets with American Express. Previously, it had been possible to pay for tickets only with Visa and Master Card, reported the press-centre of S7 Airlines.

American Express is a leading developer of corporate expense management programs. The company’s worldwide experience in the field of expense management means lower expenses for the company’s clients.

Passengers who complete purchases through the S7 Airlines website, can take advantage of a special web rate at a substantial discount. Web rates are in effect for the entire season, the main principle being early ticket purchase. The sooner you purchase your ticket on the website, the more affordable the fares will be.

In November of this year, S7 Airlines upgraded its website by integrating it with the SITA Airfare Shop system. This latest upgrade substantially simplifies ticket purchases over the Internet.

The growth rate of ticket sales on the website as a share of total sales remains very high. During the first 10 months of the current year, the share of sales over the Internet increased to 6,3%. For comparison, in 2005 (when Internet sales began), the number of tickets sold was only 0,4% of the total number, and in 2006 this number increased by a factor of 8 to 3,2%.

S7 Airlines is one of Russia's most stable airlines. It actively uses the latest achievements of the world aviation industry in the servicing of passengers and is actively expanding its services. This year, S7 Airlines actively worked to implement the most modern—and abroad, the most popular—ticketing method in the Russian Federation—electronic ticket technology. Simply print out the itinerary that is sent by electronic mail, and present it along with your passport at the airport check-in counter.
