When visiting Russia, you cannot go without visiting its 2 major cities: St-Petersburg and the capital Moscow. The fastest way to go from one city to the other is to fly.
S7 Airlines
Based in Ob, Russia, the airline is the country’s biggest domestic airline. Its 2 main hubs are Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow (DEM) and Tolmachevo Airport in Novosibirsk.
The airline is part of the oneworld alliance and connects St-Petersburg-Moscow. Therefore, you can use your British Airways Avios.
St-Petersburg-Moscow reward flights
S7 Airlines connect both cities with 12 flights a day as shown below. Almost one flight per hour, which gives travelers a lot of choices.
You can find these availability on your British Airways Avios account. When you select a flight under the Economy column the bottom of the page will show the required amount of Avios and taxes & fees.
A one-way flight costs 4,500 Avios and $13.92! That’s the fastest and cheapest way to connect both cities. Furthermore, this applies to the entire domestic network of S7 Airlines.
How do I get these British Airways Executive Club Avios?
In Canada, a handful of credit cards allow you to earn BAEC Avios miles. They allow you to earn some significant bonus Avios or points transferable to Avios. They are:
