About this airline
Upside
Broadest range of destinations in Russia among our budget airlines.
Downside
Online purchase difficult; site doesn't appear to be fully functional.
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.
Baggage
* Carry-on: One item up hand luggage up to 15 kg and one personal item (not to exceed 10 kg).
Seating
No specifications available on their web site, though Sky boasts “comfortable leather upholstery.”
Fun Fact
We were psyched to learn that on every SkyExpress flight, passengers can take part in lotteries, drawings and contests in order to win prizes and gifts. Come on down! Or, up, in this case!
