I booked my ticket for a flight to Vladivostok from Moscow through the Aeroflot airlines. All the passengers boarded the flight. The services from the cabin crew were fantastic. Next to me was a lady who began a conversation with me, asking me how to book a ticket for a flight as hers was booked by her brother. I explained to her that there are two different types of tickets: the paper ticket and electronic ticket.

Vladivostok Travel FAQs

What's the weather like in Vladivostok?

Vladivostok is located at the same latitude with Russian subtropical sea resort of Sochi, but its average annual temperature is nearly 10 degrees lower due to the Siberian High that brings cold winds from Yakutia for much of the winter. Thus the winter is typical for Manchuria: cold, clear and very windy. The snow is scarce and in some years may not fall at all.

January is cold at -14 °C, and August is fairly warm at 24 °C, though these are average temperatures, and hot/cold spells can bring much more extreme conditions. It is not unheard of for temperatures to drop below -30 °C in February, and similarly August can be >30 °C, but in general August and September bring the most sunny and pleasant temperatures. The end of summer, however, could bring Pacific monsoons that last for a few days in a row.
