Please note that there are no free meals on flights, and paid meals must be ordered in advance. Online check-in is available either by purchasing a seat selection (starting at 300 rubles) on a baggage-free fare or by purchasing a baggage-only fare. The free carry-on baggage allowance is just 5 kilograms (plus a briefcase, backpack, or handbag), and additional carry-on baggage costs between 1,000 and 1,500 rubles.
This is the third scheduled route to Yaroslavl Airport. Currently, Siberia Airlines (S7 Airlines) flies there from St. Petersburg, and UVT Aero flies there from Kazan.

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).
