Czech Airlines to Simplify and Unify its Tariff Packages, Reducing their Number from Five to Three

Effective 25 February 2015, Czech Airlines switches from the current five to three new tariff packages: Standard, Flexi and Business.

Czech Airlines starter den 29. mars e 2015 en ny direkterute mellom Praha og Billund i Danmark. Ruten vil tre dager i uken bli forlenget til Oslo. Selskapet vil benytte en 48 seters ATR 42 på ruten ( csa.cz)

This step will allow passengers to combine reservation classes of flight segments in one direction of their journey or even use a different tariff package for the return flight. They will also be able to enjoy additional services even as part of the lowest tariff class. The next innovation will be appreciated mainly by travellers with tickets from the lowest tariff class who will now be able to change their issued tickets. Changing tickets prior to the scheduled departure will cost them the equivalent of EUR 60, while changes after the scheduled date of departure will be available for EUR 100. Travellers holding tickets for Flexi and Business tariff classes will be offered this option without extra charge.

Together with the transition to three tariff packages, Czech Airlines will also cancel the so-called minimum stay condition for all destinations where the structure of one-way tariffs was introduced last year, which is 90% of all destinations serviced by the carrier. Czech Airlines has also unified discounts for children in all tariff classes. The carrier will provide 90% discount for infants (0-2 years of age) and 25% discount for children (2-12 years of age), now also in the lowest tariff class. Alongside the changes, the carrier is introducing a unified safety-fuel surcharge for all infants equal to EUR 3 per segment flown.

OK Plus Frequent Flyer Programme Members’ Benefits

Alongside the change to three tariff packages, Czech Airlines is also introducing a new rule for baggage transport. Passengers travelling with tickets issued under the Standard class will now be able to carry on board one piece of baggage, weighing a maximum of 8 kg, customers holding tickets under the Flexi class will be able to bring one carry-on, weighing a maximum of 12 kg, while Business class tariff holders will be able to take on board two pieces of baggage, weighing together a maximum of 12 kg.

According to the new transport rules, members of the OK Plus Frequent Flyer Programme travelling with Czech Airlines in Economy Class can still check in a minimum of one piece of baggage of up to 23 kg in weight. The same rules will also apply to clients on routes to Barcelona, Brussels, Bucharest, Frankfurt, Madrid, Paris, Seoul, Warsaw and to all destinations in Russia and CIS countries. Non-members of the OK Plus Frequent Flyer Programme holding the lowest tariff package tickets, i.e. Standard class tickets, travelling to all other destinations, will be able to check in one piece of baggage of up to 15 kg in weight free of charge.

Passengers with Flexi tariff class tickets, irrespective of OK Plus Programme membership, will now be able to check in two pieces of baggage, each of up to 23 kg in weight. Business Class passengers will also be able to check in two pieces of baggage, but each of up to 32 kg in weight. OK Plus Programme Silver, Gold and Platinum card holders will be able to check in an additional piece of baggage above the scope of their respective tariff limit free of charge.

Effective the start of the 2015 summer season, Czech Airlines will also improve the system of calculating the miles and segments of OK flights included in the programme. In the past, passengers with OK tickets under the lowest reservation class did not receive any miles and segments under the programme. Now Czech Airlines awards these clients with 20% of miles and 0.5% of the segment value per segment flown. In the Flexi tariff package, the carrier will increase the mile count to 175% and the segment count to 1.5 times. In the Business Class tariff, we will now award twice the miles and segments, thus motivating our clients to purchase higher tariff class tickets and at the same time allowing faster achievement of preferential status in the programme, i.e. the Silver, Gold and Platinum OK Plus Programme card, than before.
