In order to access the function, it is enough to update the application, the press service of the carrier reported on June 12.
Trains with women’s compartments available for purchase will be marked accordingly on the app, and boarding in such compartments will be open exclusively to women and children under the age of six. The fare in women’s compartments does not differ from the usual one, the number of tickets per order is also limited to four.
During the pilot period, women’s compartments will be available on 4 long-haul flights, which are among the leaders in the number of reported conflict cases since the beginning of the year:
- No. 81 Kyiv – Uzhgorod;
- No. 41 Dnepr – Truskavets;
- No. 75 Kyiv – Krivoy Rog;
- No. 15 Kharkiv – Yasinya.
Women’s compartments in these trains are already on sale for trips from 30 June.
This topic was brought up after the petition for separate carriages – all because of the sense of danger on night trains. Women’s compartments or wagons now exist in some Asian countries and have been tested in Europe.
