UrBC, Yekaterinburg, March 2, 2018. Ural Airlines are starting a new, scheduled flight from Khabarovsk to Sochi, with a stopover in Irkutsk, on May 28, 2018, the air carrier’s press service reports.

The flights will be operated on a weekly basis, so Russians living in the Far East and Siberia will be able to get to Sochi as fast as possible: the time in the air is now down by as many as three hours. U6 160 Khabarovsk-Irkutsk-Sochi will be available on Mondays, U6 159 Sochi-Irkutsk-Khabarovsk on Sundays. Prices start from RUR 15,715 for Khabarovsk-Sochi flights and from RUR 12,640 for Irkutsk-Sochi ones (one way, all fees included).

‘Sochi is an all-year-round sea resort where the snow-white mountain tops rub shoulders with the azure sea. Depending on the time of the year, one of the mountain tops are worth visiting, or you could take a swim in the sea, go to the Agura River Waterfalls, take a walk in the arboretum, or climb the longest rope bridge. Lunch at a mountain-view chalet and a selfie with a Yeti at the height of 2,320 meters will leave unforgettable memories. The singing fountain and the Olympic facilities that you can see from a plane window are particularly interesting. Children will enjoy learning about the country’s diverse climates at Moya Rossiya Park and taking a space trip in Galaktika Amusement Park,’ the press service says.
