Train / Airplane tickets
|
Unfortunately neither Russian railway nor internal airlines offer tickets
booking. You have to buy the tickets back in advance. For that you should go
to one of the agencies or directly to the railway station, stay in a line up
to 2 hours (45 min. on average) and discuss the details of your trip with the
no-English-only-Russian-speaking lady in the ticket box. Or I can do it for you
and deliver the tickets to your address in St. Petersburg once you arrive here.
One more little reason to order this service is the fact that Russian train
tickets (certainly all in Russian) are complicated to decode for the foreigners.
I make it easy as I stick to your tickets a piece of paper where you can read
without difficulties:
| – |
railway station you departure from (there are 3 of them in St. Petersburg),
|
| – |
train number,
|
| – |
wagon number,
|
| – |
seat number.
|
No need to guess what is what.
|
If you want to buy the tickets (how it works step by step)
-
You let me know the details of the tickets you need (check below) and
wire me the prepayment which amounts to the tickets price + my service
cost.
-
I confirm the money receipt and my obligations.
-
Next working day I buy the tickets, confirm the purchase to you and wait
for the information what date/time/address you wish to get your tickets
in St. Petersburg.
-
I confirm that the delivery will be effected as you require.
-
Your tickets will be delivered by me or my colleague as agreed.
|
If you do not know at the moment where will you stay / how could we meet...
It is not a problem - inform me when you know. Besides you will have my contact
telephone numbers. In case you will not manage to agree with me the delivery in
advance you can call me and fix an appointment for the next day.
|
How much I charge
Provide me the information I need to buy you the tickets (check below) and I
will charge you €19.
If you need more than 4 tickets the price will be €25.
If you need to go to some place but
| – |
have rather vague ideas what transport to choose (train or plane);
|
| – |
want to learn the different options;
|
| – |
want me to check for you the timetable, length of journey etc;
|
i.e. if you want me to help you with the planning / providing the info you might
need then I will charge you €25.
