RusLine Airlines plans to resume flights from St. Petersburg to Nizhny Novgorod next week. Flights will operate starting July 31 on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, according to Travel.ru.
Departure from St. Petersburg at 16:40, arrival in Nizhny Novgorod at 18:30. The return flight departs at 7:15 p.m., arriving in St. Petersburg at 9:05 p.m. A Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-200 will be used on this route.
The minimum ticket price (available mainly on Tuesdays) is 4,785 rubles. This includes only 5 kilograms of small carry-on baggage no larger than 40 x 30 x 20 centimeters. The 5,285-ruble option also includes 20 kilograms of checked baggage. On other days, the minimum price for each option is typically 500 rubles higher.
Additionally, passengers are permitted to carry a handbag, briefcase, or backpack free of charge. However, RusLine tries to keep this information under wraps, omitting it from the booking system on its website. Furthermore, in violation of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR-82), the RusLine website states that a briefcase or handbag "must not exceed dimensions of 40x30x20 cm and a weight of no more than 5 kg." In reality, FAR prohibits airlines from limiting the size of these items. Passengers wishing to carry larger briefcases or handbags should have a printout of FAR-82 in case the airline attempts to illegally deny them free carriage.
An additional 10 kilograms of carry-on baggage can be purchased for 1,500 rubles (although almost all passengers will find it easier to use a briefcase or purchase a baggage allowance). Seat selection starts at 350 rubles. Iraero also serves the St. Petersburg-Nizhny Novgorod route, with three flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
