Visa and Flight Information:

 

Visa: To get a visa (required for Americans), we will provide you with the required tourist confirmation, voucher, and cover letter as soon as they are available. When you receive them, immediately apply for your visa. For information and application, go to http://www.russianembassy.org/CONSULAT/TOUR-VIS.HTM if you wish to apply directly, or you can use a commercial visa agency, such as www.gotorussia.com

 

Flight: We recommend that you make reservations but do not purchase your tickets until you have your visa in your possession. If you are flying east from the US, you will lose a day to time zones.

It is our understanding that S7 Airlines will have a non-stop flight from Frankfurt to Novosibirsk this summer, but the schedules are not yet posted (as 01/06). If you do have to stop in Moscow, we strongly recommend that you fly on an airline that takes you to Domodedovo Airport, from which you will be able to fly directly on to Novosibirsk; if you must fly into Sheremetovo 2, you should fly to Novosibirsk on Aeroflot, which leaves from Sheremetovo 1. There is a free shuttle bus between the two airports. Be sure allow time between flights to get through Customs.
