Hopefully S7 will work towards building a route map that links the Russian Far East with more of Asia's OW carriers. CX nor JL provide service to their Far East hubs and neither does S7 provide any service to NRT nor HKG from OVB, IKT, VVO, UUS, PKC, or KHV either.

With the current route map from both sides, the only feasible connection is to fly NRT-ICN on JL, then connect ICN-OVB via S7, and connect there once again to backtrack to VVO, UUS, PKC, and KHV.
