Nordwind Airlines has opened flights on the Orenburg-Saint Petersburg route. Flights are operated four times a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, reports our own correspondent Travel.ru.
Departure from Orenburg at 12:40, arrival in St. Petersburg at 13:45. Return departure at 14:35, arrival in Orenburg at 19:30. The route uses an Embraer 190 aircraft. Booking is currently open only until the end of October.
The cost of a one-way ticket without baggage and seat selection starts from 4,410 rubles, with baggage and seat selection — 4,910 rubles. It should be borne in mind that there is no free food on flights, and paid meals must be ordered in advance. Online check-in is possible either by paying for seat selection (from 300 rubles) on a baggage-free fare, or by purchasing a baggage fare. The free carry-on baggage allowance is only 5 kilograms (plus a briefcase, backpack or handbag), and the cost of carrying additional carry-on baggage ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 rubles.
Let us recall that soon passengers of all Russian airlines may lose the guarantees of free transportation of briefcases, handbags, backpacks, outerwear, as well as baby food, medicine, canes, crutches and other items necessary for medical reasons. This is the draft order of the Ministry of Transport, prepared after the appeal to the ministry by the airline Pobeda, which demanded that passengers be deprived of all these guarantees. If the draft is approved, carriers will be able to limit passengers to only 5 kilograms of hand luggage, and the permissible dimensions of such luggage will be determined by the airlines themselves (Pobeda itself already uses a tiny “calibrator” measuring 36x30x27 centimeters for this, in which it is impossible to place many ordinary small city bags, as well as some mobile electronics - for example, some laptops).
