Another ST Option to Moscow
From the Thursday, May 12, edition of The Moscow Times:
"Continental Airlines plans to start a daily nonstop service between the Newark Liberty International Airport and Domodedovo in May next year, making it the second U.S. carrier to fly to Moscow, after Delta Air Lines."
We've heard about this being on again and off again but a concrete date sounds nice! We'll see if it happens.
