ALTERNATIVES IF ALL ELSE FALLS AND SEATS ARE SOLD OUT!
You can get to St. Petersburg lots of ways, for example, on Aeroflot, British Air, Lufthansa, Czech Air, Air
France, and others. Unfortunatly, no American carrier presently serves St. Petersburg. An alternate method
would be, if necessary, to fly to Moscow and take the train or fly back to St. Petersburg.
1) If you are going to St. Petersburg and all tickets are sold out buy a ticket to Moscow and take the train
back to St. Petersburg. We will help you!
2) If you are going to St. Petersburg and all the tickets are sold out buy a ticket to Helsinki, Finland and
take the train to St. Petersburg. We will pick you up!
3) If you are going to St. Petersburg and all the tickets are sold out buy a ticket to Stockholm. Take the ferry
to Helsinki and the train to St. Petersburg. If you did this you would have to leave the States on May 23rd. It
is a fun trip!
