To Russia With Love

To Russia With Love

To celebrate the launch of its new services to Moscow, Cathay Pacific has released two special introductory offers.

For people heading just to Moscow, Cathay Pacific is offering a special return economy class fare from Auckland to Moscow, starting from just $1919 return plus taxes of $85.00.

Cathay Pacific will start flying from Hong Kong to Moscow three times a week from July 13, and this fare will be available for departures from Auckland from July 12 to November 30. Tickets must be purchased by May 28, 2010.

Ian Herald, Marketing Services Manager at Cathay Pacific New Zealand said the introduction of Cathay Pacific’s new flights to Moscow would make it significantly more convenient and attractive for New Zealanders to travel to the increasingly popular destination.

“A number of Kiwis would love to travel to Russia, but up until now, it simply hasn’t been convenient or affordable. Cathay Pacific’s new fares and convenient connections will now make Moscow much more accessible and appealing to New Zealand travellers.”

Cathay Pacific has also released a special fare to London, via Moscow, of just $1969, plus taxes of $362.

This airfare is available for departures from July 13 through to November 30 and tickets must be purchased by May 28. Travel on this fare must be via Moscow in both directions and passengers will travel between Moscow and London on Cathay Pacific’s oneworld partner airline, British Airways.

Passengers are permitted to stop over in Moscow in either direction if they wish. However for those that take a stopover on the way to London, on the return journey there is a quick two hour connection from British Airways to the Cathay Pacific flights to Auckland. Alternatively, passengers can pay a surcharge to travel on a direct Cathay Pacific flight from London.

Cathay Pacific will be operating to the preferred international airport serving Moscow - the refurbished Domodedovo International Airport - which offers all the facilities expected of a modern international airport.

It should be noted that New Zealand passport holders do not need visas for Russia if they transit and stay airside at Domodedovo airport. Passengers stopping over will require a visa.
