«Яндекс Путешествия» стали показывать скидки пользователям при покупке железнодорожных билетов

The hints, in particular, work for birthday people and their friends, the elderly, or schoolchildren

Yandex Travel has started showing discounts to users when purchasing train tickets. These may include special conditions for a specific passenger, as well as benefits and discounts for birthday people and their friends, the elderly, and schoolchildren.

For example, a Sapsan ticket from Moscow to St. Petersburg for the May holidays costs 3736 rubles, but with a birthday discount, it costs 2615 rubles. The system will suggest this when ordering a ticket.

In this update, we managed to gather information about different types of discounts so that travelers can easily find выгодные tickets. For example, we will suggest that within seven days before and after a birthday, a user with friends can travel with a discount of up to 30%. Our tips will help save several thousand rubles.

To take advantage of the offer, you need to specify the destination and dates of the trip, and then select a suitable train, carriage, and seat from the list.

Based on passenger data, the system will suggest all discounts that are available to each of them. The exact amount of the discount is calculated before payment, during checkout.

However, when boarding the train, it is important to have documents confirming the right to a discount, such as a certificate from school or a pension certificate. They may be asked to show them, and it is better if the passenger has them.
