Flights to Russia

Russia is a multi-continent-spanning nation, with a vast bounty of character and history to be explored. From walking in the path of the Tsars at St. Petersburg to following the trail of the Soviet Leaders of the Second World War.

Asia's northern neighbour stretches across eleven time zones, displaying an impressive range of landscapes in its kingdom. Historians can dive into the depths of a former Soviet submarine base near Murmansk, exploring the network of tunnels where these underwater giants once slumbered, a tangible reminder of the Cold War era.

Get out of the cities and head to the centre of Siberia, where Lake Baikal, the world's deepest freshwater lake, awaits. Hike through the untouched taiga forests that fringe its shores, the silence is broken only by the calls of birds.

With over 600 airlines to choose from and more than 40 ways to pay, Alternative Airlines can help you conveniently book your flights to Russia. We offer a wide range of flight options to many Russian cities that will suit your needs and your budget.

It should be noted that at this time it is not advised to travel to Russia. This is due to the risks and threats from its continuing invasion of Ukraine. The situation in Russia is unpredictable. Check the local media for the latest information. Be vigilant and avoid any political demonstrations or gatherings.

Moscow is a city which needs to be seen to be believed. Walk the Red Square, the crown jewel of Russia's crowning city. Stand in awe beneath the colourful, onion-shaped domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, an iconic landmark that sits as the centrepiece of Russia's Eastern Orthodox cultural heritage. Explore the Grand Kremlin Palace, a harrowing reminder of Tsarist power, and soviet era preservation.

But Moscow isn't stuck in a time warp. Descend into the perhaps unexpected attraction of the Moscow Metro. Forget the dingy Subway tunnels you're used to; these stations are subterranean art galleries, adorned with mosaics, stained-glass ceilings, and socialist-realist sculptures that tell the story of a Russia both past and future.

At present, travel into Russia by air is limited. You cannot fly directly to Russia from the UK or through EU countries. There are limited exceptions, with some commercial airlines offering indirect flights via the Middle East, Serbia and Turkey. We recommend researching your government's travel advice before you reserve tickets and observe all safety measures.
