Delta Airlines- from $1,284  with 1 stop - most affordable
LOT Airlines- from $1,355 with 1 stop
Air Canada- from $1,577 with 1 stop
I would suggest Delta Airlines at a price of $1,284 because it's most affordable.
Once you arrive in Russia you will be taking various forms of transportation. You have the choice of taking a taxi or walking in the city.To go out to the rural areas you will be renting a car. You will most likely be renting a Kamaz truck as the roads can be very difficult. The only public transit that we would be taking in Russia would be through Moscow and Magadan.
