AirExpress Flies Across Russia

Posted by Amanda Kendle Feb 13, 2007

If, despite all my urgings, you decide you don't want to take the Trans-Siberian across Russia but want to fly instead, then I have some good news for you. A Russian budget airline has just been launched to fly you all around Russia for (so they promise) a fraction of the cost of existing airlines.

SkyExpress is the name of the new airline, and at the moment they've got an opening special offering 500 Ruble flights to anywhere (including taxes!). All flights start or end in Moscow at the moment, and destinations include:

• Murmansk
• Rostov-on-Don
• Sochi

With plenty more to follow, they suggest. Flights are daily at the moment, using Boeing 737 aircraft. If you have the chance to fly SkyExpress, let us know what it's like.
