The most popular travel routes for Russians on February 23 were St. Petersburg and Sochi. Such conclusions were made by experts of the tourist service, having studied the sales of railway and air tickets for the February holidays.

Railway sales leaders

It turned out that Muscovites most often purchased train tickets to St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Minsk and Yaroslavl. At the same time, the route Moscow - St. Petersburg is the absolute leader: it accounts for almost a third of all tickets issued on Tutu.ru.

According to the service, in February the average cost of train tickets from Moscow increased from 15 percent (to St. Petersburg) to 50 percent (to Nizhny Novgorod).

Foreign destinations

While the cost of rail travel within Russia has increased, tickets for trains going abroad have become more affordable. In particular, tickets to European capitals and neighboring countries on February 23 could be purchased at about 40 percent cheaper than their average cost.

Among the European cities, Tallinn, Helsinki and Riga are in the top three. Minsk, Brest and Kyiv were the most demanded in the CIS segment.

Air travel

Airline sales for February 22–26 showed that residents of the capital chose such cities as Sochi, St. Petersburg, Mineralnye Vody, Simferopol and Krasnodar for their holiday. In addition, foreign capitals - Chisinau and Prague - also made it into the top twenty routes for air travel.

The number of purchased tickets to Prague remained approximately at the same level as in 2016, although the tickets themselves increased in price by an average of 25 percent. The growth of Chisinau's popularity, on the contrary, is accompanied by a 25% reduction in prices.

Compared to 2016, Tutu.ru experts note a significant increase in demand for air tickets in February - by about 40-50 percent. In their opinion, this is due, among other things, to the spread of online sales of air tickets, lower prices in a number of areas and the strengthening of the ruble.

According to international travel metasearch momondo, demand among independent tourists from Russia for trips for the February holidays in 2017.

Compared to last year, when the demand for travel among Russians was low, this year sees a record increase. The interest of Russians in foreign trips is growing especially actively, which is primarily due to the strengthening of the ruble and the depreciation of currencies, as well as the presence of long days off.

According to Irina Ryabovol, representative of momondo in Russia, the popularity of international flights during the February holidays increased by 303 percent compared to last year, and domestic flights by 135 percent. 31 percent of Russians plan to travel on Defender of the Fatherland Day across the expanses of the Motherland in 2017, 69 percent will go abroad.

This year, Defender of the Fatherland Day falls on Friday, which means that 3 days off are ahead of us at once. And if you add half of the previous day to them, you can go on a full-fledged trip, especially considering that February is not the most touristic month, and airfare and hotel prices are an order of magnitude lower than during the January holidays.
