Nordwind Airlines intends to open flights on the Moscow-Nalchik route in the fall. Flights are scheduled daily from October 28, reports Travel.ru's own correspondent.
Departure from Moscow (Sheremetyevo Airport) at 7:15, arrival in Nalchik at 9:45. Return departure at 10:35, arrival in Moscow at 13:10. The Boeing 737 aircraft will be used on the route. Let us recall that Aeroflot will also open flights on the same route from October 28.
The cost of a one-way ticket without baggage and seat selection from Moscow starts at 3,514 rubles, with baggage and seat selection — 3,914 rubles. Prices from Nalchik are 3,950 and 4,450 rubles, respectively. It should be noted 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).
