Voice of Travelers to Solovetsky

Airfare ticket to Solovetsky

I booked ticket with a two day visit of Solovetsky Islands. We left Moscow on a flight to Arkhangelsk in the morning, and from Arkhangelsk we then flew with another ticket Solovetsky. For Solovetsky, the airfare ticket as well as a night in the hotel were booked together at a ticket agent. booked the ticket altogether with accommodation in at a travel agency. The transport from the airport in Solovetsky to the hotel was also included in the price of the package. I flew on a ticket issued with Nordavia which offered great service. After visiting Solovetsky, I flew once again back through Arkhangelsk to Moscow.

Visiting Solovetsky with an airfare ticket for the first class

I visited Solovetsky last year. I was invited to Solovetsky for a short visit by a business partner so my costs were covered by his company. I flew with Nordavia from Arkhangelsk for free as my ticket was booked for the first class from Moscow to Arkhangelsk. The airfare ticket must have been quite expensive, much more expensive than if the ticket was issued for the economy class. I did not buy the ticket though. The service aboard Nordavia on both flights was just great and worth the ticket price. Solovetsky is a magic place. I would love to return to Solovetsky again, even if this time if I find a reasonably priced airfare ticket, even if I need to pay for that ticket myself.
