What is the best way to get to Crimea and how long does it take? How many hours fly to Crimea

Each of these options has its advantages and disadvantages. Below we will dwell on each of them.

To Crimea by plane

Without a doubt, the aircraft is the fastest and most convenient way to travel. Earlier, about 5-10 years ago, the cost of air tickets was incommensurably higher than the cost of rail. Now this belief has become a myth. This is not to say that a plane ticket will cost you less than traveling by train. However, the difference, if any, is not so noticeable. The only thing is that the trip needs to be planned in advance: it is better to choose the most “inexpensive” dates and flights a month or two before the holidays.

After the entry of Crimea into Russia, the onlypeninsula airport, located 30 minutes from Simferopol, was thoroughly reconstructed, which allowed him to acquire international status. True, flights from abroad have not yet been carried out. Due to the banEuropean Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation to fly to the air zone of Crimea   and the international community does not recognize the peninsula as part of the Russian Federation, it is still not known which Western companies will decide to open flights to Simferopol.

Since the beginning of summer 2014   the geography of flights has expanded significantly due to air communication established with24 Russian cities. It is predicted that in the future this number will only grow. Direct flights are possible from cities such as Moscow, Krasnodar, St. Petersburg, Rostov, Ufa, Mineralnye Vody, Yekaterinburg,Surgut, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod and others. In July 2014, Simferopol Airport (SIP) received from mainland Russia over 100 flights per day.

And, most likely, this is not the limit. Over the next few years, a major modernization of the Simferopol airport is planned, in particular, a project has been developed to build a new airport complex by attracting funds from a foreign investor.

Which carriers operate flights?

The following airlines fly to Simferopol Airport: Transaero, Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines, Orenburg Airlines, Wim Avia, Don Avia and Red Wings.

From the second half of 2014, Aeroflot airplanes began to fly to Crimea

Belbek Airport in the suburbs of Sevastopol

Those tourists whose final destination will be Sevastopol in the new 2015 season will most likely be able to directly get into the hero city. According to the statement by the head of the executive branch of Sevastopol, starting in 2015, city guests will be able to use the services of the Belbek military airport not only in the summer, but throughout the year on a regular basis. For thisbetween the Government of Sevastopol and the Ministry of Defense of Russia negotiations are being held to conclude an agreement on the development of the civil sector at the airport. Belbek Airport is expected to beserve flights from Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, St. Petersburg and Krasnodar.

How much are flights to Crimea?

At the time of writing (end of January 2015) the cost of a round-trip ticket on the route Peter-Simferol-Peter in mid-February was 8652 rubles, and at the beginning of June - 12110 rubles. If you want to save a little, you need to have at least 2 months in stock to track the best deals. One thing is clear, that round-trip tickets are much cheaper than single tickets.

What time is it to fly to Crimea?

The flight from St. Petersburg takes 3 hours 30 minutes, from Moscow - on average 2 hours 50 minutes, and from Krasnodar - a little more than 2 hours. That is how much the plane is in the air. In fact, much more time is needed: registration and passport control takes at least 1 hour.

By plane to Crimea with children

Unlike the railway, where a child under 5 can travel for free, airlines sell children's tickets for half, or even two-thirds of the price, if the young traveler is over 2 years old. But you do not need to shake with the child for more than a day in a train or car. Here it is necessary to choose what you want to save - time, nerves or money.

  To Crimea by train: it’s not cheap, but just as “angry” and long

The benefits of traveling by train, alas, are no more. If earlier a trip with this type of transport was justified by the relatively low cost, now the price of a ticket for a train traveling through Russia (trains do not currently go through Ukraine, and it is not yet known whether they will go in the future) is equal to the price of a plane ticket. Of the minuses, you can add that in the summer it’s hot, stuffy on the road, there are certain problems with food - all that gives a lot of inconvenience. But on the road you can read, play board games, lie, walk.

Remember that during the peak season, tickets for the desired dates may not appear. We advise you to buy them 45 days before the start of the vacation, when the sale opens.

What trains go to Crimea?

With trains to the Crimea - a whole saga. Until the summer of 2014, it was possible to get to the peninsula by several trains going from some cities of Russia through the territory of Ukraine. Ukrainian customs passed twice - in the Belgorod region at the entrance to Ukraine and at the border crossing of the Crimean peninsula.

Due to the escalated conflict with Ukraine, trains passing through its territory were canceled. People who needed to get to the Crimea began to fly more often. But at the same time, the need for rail transport has not disappeared.

Therefore, in the summer of 2014, it was decided to launch a direct train062CHfrom Moscow to Simferopol via the Kerch crossing. The system is this: in the evening of every day, a train departs from the Moscow railway station Kazan Moscow-Nalchik", which consists of several direct wagons following to Simferopol.

Upon arrival in Rostov-on-Don, these cars are attached to the train562С "Rostov-on-Don - Simferopol",which upon arrival atrailway station "Caucasus" makes a stop for disembarkation of passengers. While passengers are transported by bus to the port, the train is loaded onto a separate cargo ferry. Upon reaching the Kerch port (30-45 minutes on the way), movement by train continues. You can see the detailed route.

Attention:   since September 2014, the train did not cross the strait. Tourists had to pack their bags and upon arrival on the peninsula, with luggage, plunged into a new train. It is too early to talk about what logistics will be in the next holiday season. As they say, wait and see.

To Crimea by train with a child

If a child is traveling with you, take care of food and entertainment on the road. It’s better not to take perishable products with you: yogurt, kefir, cheese, butter. Better take more nuts, dried fruits, apples. If you have to drive for more than 12 hours, a variety of “quick cereals” are perfect. At the stations it is better not to buy pies, whites, and even more so, do not feed this child. Otherwise, there is a great risk, instead of swimming in the sea and playing on the beach, to spend a vacation on the bed of an infectious diseases hospital.

A frequent question for travelers is: “Do I need consent to take my child out of the country?” If one parent or grandparents / other relatives travel with the child. We officially declare that consent is NOT required, since now Crimea belongs to Russia and the border does not cross.

Single ticket

Traveling to Crimea on a single ticket will significantly save your money. A single ticket is a “multimodal” system for delivering passengers to the Crimea developed for the holiday season, combining three modes of transport - train, bus and ferry, which are included in a single transport network.

You just need to go to any long-distance service cashier of FPK OJSC and tell which city of Crimea you want to get to. The cashier will issue a single ticket (train ticket to Krasnodar or Anapa + boarding pass to the ferry + ticket for the ferry and bus waiting in Kerch). The advantage of a single ticket is that all flights are very well docked in time and the probability of being late for one of the modes of transport is excluded.

Upon arrival at the port of "Crimea" you can catch a bus that goes to Feodosia, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta or Yevpatoriya. Read more about the "single ticket" on the Russian Railways website.

Tourists who have planned a vacation on the Crimean Black Sea coast are usually faced with a dilemma - how is it more convenient and profitable to get to the southern resort?

By and large, all paths are open:

• Traveling by plane.
• Train ride.
• Using your own car.
• Bus route.

Of course, the choice will depend on the most important features for a particular person. Each method has positive and negative sides, so you need to clearly understand what is more important: speed, trip cost, comfort, the process of travel or any other qualities of the path.

The fastest option will be the flight Moscow - Simferopol (Crimea). The comfort level of airliners is much higher than any other mode of transport. The time spent on the trip will vary depending on the city of departure, because you can fly to Crimea not only from Moscow airports, but also from many large settlements of our country, most of the Russians use departures from the Russian capital, who are going to swim in the Crimean part Black Sea. By time, direct flights are least likely to fly from:

• Moscow - the road will take from 2 hours 20 minutes;
• St. Petersburg - travel time will be at least 3 hours 10 minutes;
• Krasnodar is the city closest to the Crimea, so it takes only 1 hour 15 minutes to fly from there, however, there are few direct flights.
