Can I cancel my Pobeda flight and get a refund?

Yes, but your eligibility for a refund depends on the fare bundle you purchased. In 2026, Pobeda primarily offers three fare bundles: Basic, Advantageous, and Maximum.

Refund Rules by Fare Type

• Basic & Advantageous: These fares are generally non-refundable. However, if you purchased the "Refund Service" add-on at the time of booking (approx. 1,500 ₽), you can cancel up to 48 hours before departure for a refund.

• Maximum: This bundle allows for voluntary refunds:

  • More than 24 hours before departure: Full refund of the fare component.

  • Less than 24 hours (until check-in closes): Refundable with a 25% penalty of the fare.

• Involuntary Refunds: Regardless of your fare, you are entitled to a full refund in cases of flight cancellation, significant delays (30+ minutes as of March 2026), or documented illness of the passenger or a close family member traveling with them.

To process a refund, use the Manage Booking tool on the official website.

Can I change my Pobeda booking?

Yes! You can change the date, time, or route of your flight up to 48 hours before departure.

• Change Fees: A fee of 5,000 ₽ per passenger, per segment applies. This means a return flight change will cost 10,000 ₽.

• Fare Difference: You must pay the difference if the new flight is more expensive. If it is cheaper, the difference is not refunded.

• Methods: Changes can be made online via the website or through the Pobeda Call Center.

Can I change the name on my Pobeda booking?

Yes! Pobeda allows name changes, which is the most effective way to "refund" a non-refundable ticket by selling it to another person.

Name Change Rules & Fees:

• Deadline: Changes can be made up to 4 hours before departure online, or up to 40 minutes before departure at the airport ticket office.

• Fee: A flat fee of 5,000 ₽ per passenger applies.

• Fare Difference: If the current price for the flight is higher than what you originally paid, you must also pay the fare difference.
