Varna - Moscow: time on the way

Beaches of Bulgaria - a busy tourist destination for holidaymakers from Russia. Every year airplanes and trains fly here. Bus tours are also popular. One of the rapidly developing coastal towns of Bulgaria is Varna. In addition to excellent sandy beaches, vacationers will find here a rich cultural heritage, many historical and natural attractions, as well as a developed tourist infrastructure. After all, this is the third largest city in Bulgaria. But how much to get to this resort? Let's think first of all about where Varna is. Moscow is located from it at a distance of more than fifteen hundred kilometers. It's quite a lot to get on the road on the bus. Let's look at other, more convenient options.

Air communication between cities

The fastest vehicle with which it is easy to overcome the long road (Varna - Moscow) is an airplane. The city has its own international airport. From the center it is separated only eight kilometers. Before Varna, you can get on the city bus number four hundred and nine, which leaves from a stop before the first terminal, or by taxi. The plane is a very fast means, but not the least. The prices vary depending on the season, as well as the time between the purchase of the ticket and the departure. The highest price is observed, naturally, in the summer months and in September, when the velvet season begins in Varna. Then the average price for the air ticket reaches seventeen thousand rubles. And in the low season (November-February, with the exception of New Year's holidays), it can fall to 12,500 rubles.

Direct flight "Varna - Moscow"

Twelve airlines operate on this route. Therefore, the tourist has plenty to choose, to find a more suitable price or convenient departure or arrival hours. First of all, it is Bulgaria Air. This company offers the lowest prices for a direct flight. The air liners of Russian air carriers Aeroflot, S7 Airlines, Transaero, Ural Airlines, VIM-Avia are also flying along the route Varna-Moscow. If you trust foreign companies more, you can choose "LOT" (LOT), Air Serbia, Turkish Airlines, Air Pacific, UTair or Montenergo Airlines. Planes to sunny Varna depart from three Moscow airports: Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo. The most convenient message is provided by S7. She sends her planes from Domodedovo twice a week (flight No. S7922). By the way, the liners of the company "Es-7" fly not only to Moscow, but also to Novosibirsk.

Connecting flights with transfers

This is an option for people who are not too burdened with finances. Of course, this way to get to the golden beaches of Bulgaria will be longer. If on the direct flight "Varna - Moscow" the flight time is at least two and a half hours, then with a transfer the road can take almost half a day. But connecting flights, in addition to attractive prices, can tempt passengers with an additional tourist program. So, "Turkic Airlines" offers to spend at least six hours in Istanbul. During this time, it is possible to inspect all the landmarks of the Turkish capital. For now, Russian tourists do not need a visa to this country on two continents. And the price for the air ticket is very attractive - only eleven thousand rubles for both flights "Varna - Istanbul - Moscow". The cost of the flight is affected by the number of days left before departure. If you buy a ticket in advance, you can get a discount of sixty percent.

Charter flights from Varna to Moscow and back

In September and in the summer months, you can get on airplanes chartered by various travel companies. But the comfort of the flight and the travel time are different from those on direct flights. The matter is that for charterers simple planes of type TU-154, TU-204, IL-86 submit. On such liners the route "Varna - Moscow" is overcome in two hours forty minutes and even longer. It is necessary to take into account also such factor as passing or headwind, which is of no small importance for aircraft of similar design. Lunch on board charters usually comes down to a sandwich and a salad with a cup of tea or a glass of juice. In addition, such flights are often delayed, so the flight should also be added to the possible waiting at the airport.

Varna - Moscow: the difference in time

For all flights, departure is indicated by the departure time zone of the departure airport. But the landing is determined by the time at the destination. Therefore, if you have on hand tickets from Moscow to Varna and back, you may be surprised by the difference in the duration of the journey. On sunny beaches, fly two hours less than home. What is the reason for this paradox? The time zone of Bulgaria is +2 GMT. This means that time in the country lags behind Moscow by one hour. But this difference is relevant only for the period from the last Sunday in October to the beginning of April. In the summer period, which accounts for the main flow of passengers to Varna, the time in Russia and in Bulgaria does not differ. Both countries live in the same time zone.
