Siberia is holding a sale of tickets to Europe.

S7 Airlines has introduced discounted advance fares on several of its European destinations. Tickets are on sale until September 5, according to Travel.ru.

Tickets at these fares must be purchased at least 80 days before departure. The cost of a round-trip ticket is: Larnaca - 7032 rubles without baggage and seat selection and 10307 with baggage and seat selection, Paphos - 7536 and 10811 respectively, Rome - 7345 and 10620, Barcelona - 8848 and 12588, Tivat - 7558 and 10838 rubles.

For routes to Germany, tickets must be purchased at least 60 days in advance of departure. The minimum fares are: Berlin — 7,321 rubles without baggage allowance and seat selection, and 8,101 rubles with baggage allowance and seat selection, while Dusseldorf — 8,453 rubles and 9,233 rubles, respectively.

Tickets are on sale until September 5, and flights are valid until March 30. The minimum stay at the destination is until the following Sunday, with no maximum limit. Tickets can only be refunded for baggage-inclusive tickets, subject to a €30 fee. Tickets with baggage-inclusive tickets can be exchanged for a possible price difference, while tickets without baggage require an additional €60 fee.

When purchasing any tickets on Siberia Airlines' website (as with almost all other Russian carriers), please be aware that the airline may include insurance by default. This practice, prohibited in the European Union, can result in a loss of 299 rubles per ticket. To avoid falling victim to this insurance scam, find the "Cancel insurance" option on the additional services selection page (or click the shopping cart icon next to the insurance section in the right column) during the booking process.

If a passenger has nevertheless fallen into a trap and paid for unnecessary insurance, it can still be cancelled. In this case, before the start of the flight, you should notify the airline about the cancellation of the insurance service and demand a refund for the insurance.

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).
