‘Many travel agents are offering tours well in advance, and experienced travelers often book early, so the offer made by Ural Airlines (a chance to buy tickets for summer flights on sale) is definitely going to enjoy great demand,’ Inna Averyanova, director of Inna Tour Travel Agency, said to UrBC.

Anyone willing to fly to Anapa, Simferopol, Sochi, Krasnodar, or Mineralniye Vody (all situated at the Black Sea) can buy a single ticket for only 3,999 RUR between February 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007.

‘The offer can be popular with tourists and travel agents alike,’ Ms Averyanova said.
