AZ/KL/DL: BWI-SVO $384 AI Feb-Apr

Oeste · Dec 3, 12, 1:59 pm

Update: This price appears to no longer be active and seems to have been fixed across the board.

BWI - SVO on Alitalia (SkyTeam), KLM, AF, or Delta via JFK sub $400 round trip. It's probably across SkyTeam.

IAD also works as a departure airport, LED (St. Petersburg) as an arrival airport.

Sun - Wed arrivals and returns in various Feb, Mar, April dates. Search on Kayak, redirect to airline sites.

A number of people were able to book successfully and go through to confirmation pages - my group got 5 tickets @ $384 with a 5 night stay for the original reported set of dates (4/8 to 4/14).

Russian visas can be a hassle and a little pricey if you intend to stay - see below for more details.

You can book for $433 BWI-ATL-CDG-SVO-CDG-JFK-BWI with AF 380s in the CDG-JFK.

Not bad.

Great find - still available on Kayak. Forum moderator might correct me but this looks like a C1-C2-C2 YQ dump fare that might belong in the trick it forum. I would consider buying this just for the trip to Rome/FCO!

Are there any other possible destinations? I wouldn't mind spending a long flying weekend but getting to Russia is a hassle with Visas AFAIK.

I was able to book it - TBD if they'll honor the ticket. I hope so.

I was looking for a trip to Russia for those dates. So the visa was already planned.

OK... thx.

Too bad RUssia does not allow Visa-free or Visa-on-arrival, otherwise I would have booked it in a breeze.

Love SkyTeam and their fares

Looks like a mistake fare... Seeing $23 each way from BWI... YR is only $210...

Available from December to EOS.

Russia does seem to gave a transit visa. Would a same day turn generate an issue?

Thanks to OP , I went to DL.com and was easily able to book R/T's for 3
at sub $400 fares . 5 day trip , so hope to see alot of Moscow , I have never been there . Was able to assign EC seats on line, confirmation email etc.., no problem. So I am hoping it is a go !

Excellent find! Not available at present on Alitalia (at least when I looked in March), but still good on BWI-JFK-SVO on DL. Wife decided not to ticket, but quite the deal. RE: Russian Visa's, not a big deal, but not inexpensive (seems like about $249 currently) to get out and strut the streets of Moscow. Gotorussia in ATL is reputable.
