SkyExpress

About

Russia's first low-cost carrier operates out of Moscow Vnukovo.  SkyExpress flies exclusively to Russian destinations. In addition to the bigger tourist destinations (St. Petersburg and Sochi), SkyExpress also flies to Kaliningrad, Murmansk, Rostov and Tyumen.

Though SkyExpress' current route map is of limited utility to those outside of Russia, it is certainly an exciting development.

Downside

Doesn’t really go anywhere outside of Russia.
