The flight on the Moscow-Sochi route is rather short, but as a result, you can fully enjoy the beauty of one of the best Russian resorts. Moreover, its duration depends on several factors.
Distance Moscow-Sochi
The motor road connecting Moscow and Sochi has a length of approximately 1600 kilometers, which makes it possible to cover this distance by car in about a day of continuous driving. However, if you measure this distance along the shortest path, that is, in a straight line, it is easy to see that it is only about 1360 kilometers. It is this distance that is covered by the plane flying on the route "Moscow-Sochi".
Flight Moscow-Sochi
Currently, direct flights from Moscow to Sochi are made by about 10 large carriers, most of which are Russian companies. So, among the Russian operators operating on this route there are airlines "Aeroflot", "S7", "Ural Airlines" and others. The total number of flights that depart daily on the Moscow-Sochi route is about 50. This leads to active price competition between carriers, thanks to which a pre-purchased ticket in one direction can cost a rather modest amount - 2-3 thousand rubles.
On a direct flight from Moscow to Sochi, a passenger will have to spend a little more than 2 hours in the air. At the same time, the duration of the flight differs slightly for different carriers, depending on the established standards and the types of aircraft used by them. As a result, the fastest flight in this direction, operated by the Russian airline Utair, takes exactly two hours. But the longest are the flights of S7 and Yakutia airlines: the planes of both of these carriers, delivering passengers from Moscow to Sochi, stay in the air for 2 hours and 25 minutes.
At the same time, if there are no tickets left for a direct flight for the flight date you need, you can take the opportunity to fly to Sochi from Moscow with a connecting flight. Transfers on this route can be carried out in several large cities of Russia: St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg or Krasnodar. In addition, there are connecting flights through the capitals of the neighboring countries - Kiev, Yerevan and Minsk. At the same time, the duration of such a flight will depend primarily on the duration of the docking and may total from 5 to 21 hours or more.
However, if you had to be at a transit airport for several hours, this can not be perceived as an annoying delay. but as a convenient opportunity to get acquainted with a new interesting city in a short time, especially if you have never been here before.
