Winter flight schedule between Belarus and Russia packed with tourist destinations

This winter, Belarus will remain one of the popular tourist destinations for Russians when it comes to the neighbouring countries, informs the Association of Tourist Operators (ATOR) on its official website, citing a major Russian tourist company


According to ATOR, at an away business conference hosted by PEGAS Touristik in Turkiye, the company introduced retail operators to their flight schedule, hotel pool, exclusive offers, and new products they have developed for popular destinations for the upcoming 2024/2025 winter season. When it comes to the neighbouring ex-USSR countries, they mentioned a broad choice of flights and package tours to Belarus.

“The operator offers flights to Minsk from 10 Russian cities: Moscow and St. Petersburg (every day), Yekaterinburg, Mineralnye Vody, Sochi, Kazan, Samara (two flights per week each), Arkhangelsk, and Chelyabinsk (one flight per week each). They also have reserved seats on regular flights from Nizhny Novgorod to Minsk (twice a week),” ATOR reported.

The company’s accommodation pool includes ***, ****, and ***** hotels (16, 7, and 5, respectively), along with health resorts in Grodno, Minsk, Vitebsk, Mogilev, Gomel, and Brest regions. For the New Year in Minsk, PEGAS Touristik reserved rooms in two hotels: Yubileiny *** and Robinson-City ****. While in Belarus, tourists can purchase guided tours, with a choice of 9 single day and 4 multiple day ones.

As we reported earlier, other Russian tourist operators offer their own package tours to Belarus to tourists traveling by plane, as well as those who prefer buses, trains, even personal cars. The Minsk National Airport, in turn, informed that their autumn/winter schedule includes regular flights to 27 cities. Azimuth Airlines, for instance, bumped the frequency of flights from Mineralnye Vody to Minsk to 2 flights per week. Only flights to Makhachkala, Murmansk, and Perm have been cancelled for the low season. Pobeda Airlines temporarily suspended their flights to Minsk from St. Petersburg and Moscow (Vnukovo). Other lines to Russia remain operational.
