Is there a direct flight. Are there direct flights to the Seychelles? Visa to Malaysia

An overview of some routes on how to get from Moscow to the Seychelles. The flight to the Seychelles can be classified as a long-distance flight, because even with direct flights from Transaero, the flight lasted 9.5 hours. Now you can fly to the Seychelles via routes through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Paris, etc.

Direct flights Moscow-Seychelles - are they available?

Unfortunately, there are currently no direct flights from Moscow to the Seychelles. Therefore, everyone who wants to visit these beautiful islands will have to get to them with at least one transfer.

Emirates with a connection in Dubai

Etihad with connection in Abu Dhabi

Qatar Airlines with a connection in Doha

Previously, such a direct flight was operated by Transaero Airlines and the travel time was 9.5 hours.

How long is the flight to Seychelles from Moscow?

These routes are the fastest and least expensive. Flights of the first three airlines depart from Domodedovo Airport. Travel time averages 14 hours, but depends on schedules and connections. Airlines often sell tickets, most often it is more profitable to buy tickets in advance, however, regular prices are quite low.

If you want to fly through Europe, you can fly Air France with a connection in Paris, or Condo with a transfer in Frankfurt. Travel time takes, as a rule, at least 17 hours, since only a flight from Paris to Mahe, Seychelles lasts 10 hours and 10 minutes.

Are there direct flights from Moscow to Albania? This question is of interest to many lovers of organized tourism from Russia. And we have good news for them. Russian tourists will be able to get there within a year on board charter airliners. This is the first time they have such an opportunity.

Charter flights between Tirana and Moscow should be established by a number of major Russian tour operators. Departures will be once a week from June 21 to September 20, 2018. The management of the companies does not rule out that flights to Albania will also be carried out from other Russian cities. More information about this should appear in December 2017.

Flights on the Moscow-Albania route will be carried out using an Airbus A321 airliner capable of accommodating 210 passengers. It is not yet known which airline will provide this aircraft. It is only known that we are talking about a Russian air carrier. According to preliminary data, flights from Moscow will be carried out at 11 am local time.

It is expected that after the flight from Moscow to Tirana, there will also be a transfer to hotels, the duration of which will vary depending on the resort. So, a transfer to hotels in Durres will take 40-50 minutes, while a trip to a resort in the city of Saranda can take up to 6 hours.

According to preliminary data, the cost of comprehensive packages for vacationers in Albania will start at 40,000 Russian rubles for two travelers. At the same time, tourists, if desired, will be able to enjoy an All Inclusive vacation.

Even with the absence of direct flights, Albania with the Russian Federation is in ever-increasing demand from Russian tourists. Thus, according to the online search engine Aviasales, in the summer of 2017, the number of bookings for transfer flights from Russia to Albania increased 2.5 times year-on-year. At the same time, the average price of such a flight increased by 12 percent and reached 31,000 rubles. As a rule, Russians fly to Albania with flights with transfers in Istanbul (Pegasus Airlines and Turkish Airlines), Rome (Alitalia) or Vienna (Austrian Airlines).

As Intours Albania host CEO Astrit Kurti states: “Despite the fact that there was no direct communication between our countries before, Russian tourists have long had an interest in the Albanian market, the annual increase according to INSTAT (National Institute of Statistics) ranged from 10% to 15%. Albania attracts many with its mystery, but few people know about its rich cultural heritage and beautiful nature with picturesque canyons and beautiful clean beaches both on the Adriatic and Ionian coasts.

Our country has a great potential for tourism, we have something to offer for any type of tourist - both family vacations in secluded places, and active recreation for young people. This year alone, we have made over 80,000 tourists from all over the world a little happier.”

Recall that tour operators from Ukraine and Belarus in the summer season of 2017 have already organized charter flights to Albania. At the peak, the number of flights reached the level of 4-5 per week. It should be remembered that, Ukrainians and Belarusians, as a rule, are not needed during the holiday season. Moreover, you can use the visa-free regime up to 90 days.

For dedicated adepts of outdoor activities in the Seychelles, there are places ideal for snorkeling and diving. It is hard not to agree that, of course, it is most convenient to admire the beauties of the islands from the water. The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands scattered across 1,400 square kilometers of pristine ocean waters, are ideal for sailing. Going out into the ocean, you will also get a unique opportunity for amazing fishing. Even a beginner in Seychelles waters can be lucky to catch marlene.

Unfortunately, you will have to change trains to get to the islands. A direct flight to the Moscow-Seychelles direction is currently not possible. A direct flight to the Seychelles departing from Moscow (Domodedovo) was closed after a short time of its existence. The Russian company Transaero performed such air transportation once every 10 days. After a certain period of work, its management decided that the Moscow-Mae route was inappropriate.

Now you can get to the Seychelles through transfer points at the airports of Frankfurt, Paris, Doha or Dubai. The cheapest option is transfer through Dubai. In this case, you will be on the road for a maximum of 16 hours (from Moscow or Kiev to Dubai, about 5 hours, and 2-5 hours should still be taken to dock, and then, after 4-5 hours of flight, you will find yourself on the islands).

The Seychelles is always considered by everyone as a place ideal for a beach holiday. However, this is as true as it is false. There are indeed a lot of places in the Seychelles where you can swim and sunbathe to the fullest, amazingly beautiful places, it's no secret that the local beaches are a unique combination of white and pink sand with the clearest blue sea, openwork greenery of palm trees with granite rocks. Despite these "beach bonuses", there are many more things to do on the islands besides relaxing on the coral sand.

The Seychelles, unlike many other tropical resorts, do not create such “islands of comfort” for tourists on the territory of hotels. This difference is immediately evident - well-being and security here exist not only for visitors. The life of the local population on the islands is devoid of strong social contrasts and racial tensions. There are no beggars here, the streets are clean, there is practically no crime, and the Seychellois themselves are hospitable, friendly, and full of self-esteem. For this reason, being in the Seychelles, you can safely and even need to go beyond respectable hotels and resort complexes in order to get acquainted with the local way of life.

Bali is a mystical island lost in the Java Sea. There is probably no person who has never heard of him in his life. It beckons with its beauty, mysterious culture, tropical sun and ocean. But a flight to such a far corner of the Earth, as a rule, costs a pretty penny, and therefore almost everyone who has ever thought about going there is interested in the question: how to fly to Bali cheaply? In this article, I will review all the options for flights to the island, and at the end we will be able to evaluate how to get to Bali from Moscow or other Russian cities in the cheapest way.

How to get to Bali cheaply from Moscow - airfare to Bali prices

Of course, first of all, we will consider a flight to Bali from Moscow, because there are significantly more flights from the capital than from other cities in the country. Bali Airport is located in Denpasar, i.e. we need to look for options on the route Moscow → Denpasar.

Below is a convenient table with current prices in this direction for the whole year ahead. The price is for round trip tickets.

Direct flights from Moscow to Bali

Finally! In August 2018, Aeroflot announced the sale of tickets for a direct flight from Moscow to Bali. Before it was impossible to fly to Bali on a direct flight, there were only charters for package tourists.

Direct flights to Bali will be carried out during the high season - from October 28, 2018 to March 30, 2019 - on a Boeing 777 aircraft in cooperation with the Rossiya airline. The sale of air tickets is already open, make sure to book early to dilute the cold season with the hot sun of the fairy tale islands.

Visa to China

For transit through Guangzhou (as well as Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Chongqing, Kunming, Shenyang, Guilin and Dalian), Russians do not need a visa. To get a 72-hour stamp at the airport allowing you to enter the city, you will only need to provide a ticket confirming that you have only a connection in China, and then you will fly on to a third country. Mishuta and I flew through Beijing and did not intend to leave the city at all, but we still had to put a stamp, because. I had to collect my luggage and then check in again for the next flight, despite the fact that I was essentially buying one ticket. Perhaps this is a feature of Chinese airlines that luggage is not checked in immediately to the final destination.

Advantages and disadvantages

+ One transplant;
+ The same airline;
+ The price for the coming months is the most favorable;
+
+ Docking, most likely, will be in the same terminal.
— It is necessary to re-register luggage when transferring (not always!).

2. Moscow - Hong Kong (China) - Bali

In general, this is a rather strange option for flying to Bali, but I still decided to consider it. In addition, I personally met families traveling along this route. The main reason why I mention this option is that flights to Hong Kong can often be purchased at incredibly competitive prices. Even to Moscow from Hong Kong, we flew for only 8 thousand rubles, and even to the eastern cities of our country (Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, etc.) sometimes air tickets are sold for 5 thousand rubles at all. There are direct flights from Hong Kong to Bali, for example, from Cathay Pacific. Their prices are average, but when combined with cheap tickets for a flight from Russia to Hong Kong, it turns out to be quite an affordable option.

Flight tickets to Bali from Southeast Asian countries — Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore

Another simple option is to plan your own flight through the countries of Southeast Asia. We usually fly to Indonesia like this. We had flights from Bangkok to Bali, from Jakarta to Phuket, from Singapore to Bali and from Bali to Kuala Lumpur. Air traffic in this segment is very well developed, literally all the more or less large cities of Southeast Asia have international airports. Below I will consider in more detail all these schemes of flights to Bali with transfers. And then I will choose the most convenient and least expensive.

1. Moscow - Singapore (Singapore) - Bali

I have been to Indonesia several times and always flew there with a stopover in Singapore. It is convenient and pleasant because Singapore is beautiful, one of my favorite cities, and Singapore Changi Airport is one of the top five in the whole world. A great option to combine a visit to a modern technogenic metropolis with a soulful tropical island in the ocean. The contrast is very bright and unusual!

To get to know the city during transit, my guide to Singapore is suitable.

For several years there were no direct flights between Moscow and Singapore, but at present Singapore Airlines resumed communication on this route, so you can safely fly to the coolest city of Singapore that I adore without transfers!

From Singapore to Bali, there are ridiculously low prices - from $ 40, thanks to TigerAir. The so-called "Tigers" is a Singaporean low-cost airline that operates flights to most countries in Southeast Asia, as well as to India. Tiger Air has two flights daily from Singapore to Bali.

Visa to Singapore

For Russian citizens, it is valid, affixed directly at Changi Airport upon arrival. That is, it is not necessary to obtain a Singapore visa in advance. But there is a condition that in order to receive such transit, you must fly to Singapore from one country and fly to a third country. When traveling from Russia to Bali, this condition is met, so there are no problems. The only thing is to print out your departure ticket from Singapore, which you may need to present to the visa officer.

Advantages and disadvantages

+ You can see a new country and you don't need a visa;
+ In a favorable scenario, you can plan a flight quite budget;
+ Flights to the destination are operated almost daily.
— The route will be operated by different airlines (these are the conditions for carrying luggage, and Tiger Air has a separate surcharge for luggage, because it is a low-cost company);
— Docking can be from different terminals (but Singapore has excellent navigation and a free shuttle between all terminals);
— Some are scared off by independent travel planning and buying tickets in several stages (first with one airline, then with another).

2. Moscow - Bangkok (Thailand) - Bali

It is most convenient to fly to Bangkok with a direct flight of the airline. Aeroflot. If you plan your trip in advance, it is not difficult to find quite advantageous deals on air tickets. In addition, direct flights to the capital of Thailand are carried out by the Russian airline S7 from Novosibirsk. Fly from Bangkok with AirAsia.

AirAsia is the most popular air carrier in Southeast Asia. Aircraft of this airline fly to Bali from both Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. From Bangkok every day, at least one flight to Denpasar, more often even two.

Visa to Thailand

For citizens of Russia, it is not necessary to obtain a visa to Thailand in advance. A stamp allowing you to stay in the country for up to 30 days is affixed upon arrival right at the airport. So you can safely plan your trip with a view of Bangkok for a couple of days, or even more.

Advantages and disadvantages

+ One transplant;
+ You can go to the city and do not need a visa;
+ You can plan a flight quite budget;
+ Flights to the destination are operated almost daily.
— The route will be operated by different airlines (this and the conditions for carrying luggage are different);
— Docking can be from different terminals and even airports (for example, arrival from Russia to Suvarnabhumi Airport, and departure to Bali from Don Muang Airport);
— Some are scared off by independent travel planning and buying tickets in several stages (first with one airline, then with another).

3. Moscow - Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) - Bali

Flying to Bali via Kuala Lumpur is not difficult, and often very cheap. the capital of Malaysia is literally the center of the most famous and affordable low-cost airlines - AirAsia and Malindo. For this reason, the flight Kuala Lumpur - Denpasar will not be expensive. Unfortunately, today there are no direct flights from Russia to Malaysia, although there used to be a direct flight from Transaero. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be convenient for those who care about convenience and saving time. Well, for budget travelers, such a scheme is quite possible to consider. From Kuala Lumpur to Bali, AirAsia has five flights daily. We used the airline Malindo Air to fly on the route Bali - Kuala Lumpur.

MalindoAir. Another low-cost airline flying from Kuala Lumpur to Bali. Malindo is a Malayan company that operates two flights daily to Denpasar. Their ticket prices are also very reasonable, one-way ticket prices start at $40. I have already written my review about the Malindo Air airline earlier.

Visa to Malaysia

Russians do not need to obtain a visa to Malaysia in advance. A free stamp allowing you to stay in the country for up to 30 days is placed right at the airport upon arrival. Now you don’t even need to fill out migration cards, the only thing you will be asked to do is to take fingerprints. So in this regard, there are no particular problems.

Advantages and disadvantages

+ You can see a new country and you don't need a visa;
+ You can plan a flight profitably;
+ Flights to the destination are operated almost daily.
— Two transplants, because there are no direct flights from Russia to Malaysia now;
— The route will be operated by different airlines (this and the conditions for carrying luggage are different);
— Docking will most likely be from different terminals;
— Some are scared off by independent travel planning and buying tickets in several stages (first with one airline, then with another).

How to fly to Bali cheaply and conveniently - the best options and conclusions

So, in all of the above information, I have proposed several flight schemes. Since the cost of air tickets changes every day, it is better to track specific prices through such a convenient calendar.

And my ready-made options will help you decide which route is best to fly to Bali. Based on the pros and cons of each scheme, the following conclusions can be drawn:

1. The most affordable and convenient option would be a flight from Russia to Bali with a Chinese airline. Firstly, this is the cheapest option if you buy a ticket right away. Moscow — Denpasar, not separately. Secondly, a reliable airline. Thirdly, a convenient connection, and if you wish, you can go to the city, or even spend up to three days in China, and you don’t need to get a visa for this.

2. In second place is definitely the option through Dubai, because. it is convenient to fly this route, whatever you say, the cost of tickets is higher than that of the Chinese, but the connection is also convenient and the airport is excellent. Yes, and there are no problems with a visa - a stamp for 30 days, with which you can safely walk around the luxurious metropolis. In addition, an inexpensive and convenient metro goes from Dubai Airport to the center. Depending on the dates, you can find good flight options from Moscow to Bali with Emirates.

3. My third place is shared by flight options via Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong. The reason for my choice is that in these cases only one transfer is needed, the cost of a successful combination of offers from airlines is one of the most profitable, and when entering these cities, you do not need to obtain a visa in advance - stamps are affixed at the airport. The only thing is that you will have to do the selection of joints yourself, which scares many. But don't worry, it's easier than you think. Using the tables of current prices, you can easily plan your trip as budget as possible.

4. In the penultimate place I will put the flight from Qatar Airways through Doha. Although very often, unfortunately, today the situation is such that their flights to Bali cannot be called cheap. But from time to time there are good sales, so take a closer look at the Cathars when planning your trip, maybe there will be good flight options for your dates. The disadvantage is that you can’t really get out of the city, and waiting at the airport can be up to 12 hours, but there is only one transfer, while many Middle Easterners have two (for example, the Etihads). You can see for yourself the offers of Qatar Airways on the route Moscow - Denpasar for your dates and decide which is better.

5. Well, in last place is the option of flying from Russia to Bali via Kuala Lumpur. Despite the fact that local low-cost airlines offer very cheap flights from Malaysia to Denpasar, today, unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Kuala Lumpur from Russia, which means that you will have to make at least one more transfer, due to which the flight will be more expensive and longer. Let's hope the situation changes in the future.

In this article, we have reviewed the most profitable flights to Bali. As you can see, if you wish, you can find quite affordable options. On average, an inexpensive flight to Bali is considered to be a price of 35-40 thousand rubles for a round-trip flight. Given such a long distance, this cost is quite reasonable. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.

From my personal experience, I can say that in all cases I flew to Bali and other islands of Indonesia from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Flights from them were ridiculously cheap - $ 14 to Sumatra, $ 28 to Java and up to $ 40 to Bali. Of course, from Russia, as we found out, flying to Malaysia or Singapore is quite expensive, but if you spend a long vacation or trip in Thailand or other countries of Southeast Asia, then getting to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore will be very simple and cheap, and from there you can already make a check-in to Bali, which, in fact, we did with the child :)

It is almost impossible to surprise yourself and your friends with an ordinary vacation on the seashore. Only an unusual choice of country for vacation will help.

The birthplace of Ceylon tea, with a colorful history and beautiful ocean beaches, is perfect for this. The only thing that scares many tourists is a long flight. Let's find out how much to fly to Sri Lanka from Moscow by direct flight.

In order to get to Ceylon, the traveler will have to overcome approximately 6700 km. On average, a direct flight to Sri Lanka from Moscow takes 8 hours 35 minutes. With a delay - 9 hours. When choosing tickets, be sure to pay attention to what time is indicated. Difference with Moscow: plus 2 hours in summer and 3 hours in winter.

A few years ago, it was difficult to get to the island of eternal summer by direct flight. Airlines did not see profitability in this direction. Over time, the flow of tourists wishing to explore Sri Lanka on their own has increased.

Travelers discover this country as an alternative to the familiar, but dangerous, Turkey and. In addition, the island is the cradle of Buddhism. There are a lot of interesting excursion programs here, but they can take a day. It is more profitable to go by yourself and move freely around the island, without being tied to one hotel.

Sri Lanka's national airlines were the first to react to the increase in demand, but Aeroflot quickly replaced them. Since the end of autumn 2016, this air route has been served by the airline Royal Flight.

Every 10–12 days a Boeing 767-300 flies from Moscow to Sri Lanka. There are 309 passenger seats on board. Of these, 12 are business class, and the rest are economy. Landing in the capital of Russia takes place at Terminal F. Colombo's Bandaranaike Airport welcomes guests.

How long to fly to Sri Lanka with flights with transfers

There are quite a lot of advantages in flights to Sri Lanka from Moscow not by direct flights, but by connecting ones. For example, a tourist can choose from more airports: Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo. Departure daily.

But how long you have to fly to Colombo is another question. At best - 10 hours, on average - 13.5. The prices for such flights are very tempting: from 6,511 rubles. The best deals can be found at.

Ticket prices are lower in summer and early autumn, in winter - the high season. Most often for a flight with transfers, the following airlines are chosen: Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Flydubai and Aeroflot. Although in fact there are even more carriers.

Transfers are made at the airports of Doha, Delhi, Abu Dhabi, or Istanbul. You have to wait for a connecting flight from 6 hours or more. But even in this you can find positive aspects: acquaintance with new countries or with interesting goods in.

Useful information for a tourist flying from Moscow to Sri Lanka

A tourist visa for a flight to the island is issued to Russians free of charge for 30 days. By choosing not a direct flight, but with a transfer, passengers do not have to rush around with suitcases. Baggage is received already in Colombo.

Bandaranaike Airport is located in the suburbs of Negombo. You can get to the center by bus number 187, by train (runs about 2 times a day) and by taxi. The last option is the most convenient, given that the flow of people is huge, and there can be long queues for the bus.

No matter how long it lasts, it is always time to return home to Moscow. In order to check in on time for the return flight, keep in mind that at Colombo Airport it starts 5 hours and ends an hour and a half before departure. This is an innovation for 2017, which will be valid until April 6th. It is connected with the construction of terminal No. 2 in Bandaranaike, thanks to which the air pier will be able to pass up to 15 million people.
