We fly to Siberia through Dubai.  Our friends who have used Istanbul have experienced frequent, unacceptable changes in connection times that have interfered with originating flights in the interior of the USA needed to get to a Turkish Air US-based departure airport.  Similarly, onward connections there have reported been sometimes unreliable.

 

Dubai is more expensive.  The international terminal is amazing.  The terminal we use to fly to Russia less so.  For us, layovers have gotten longer this year because number of flights into Russia have decreased.

 

We fly in June/July/September and I can mention experience later.

Just another datapoint to consider. I and my wife have flown through Istanbul on Turkish Air multiple times and have not experienced any delays or changes in connections. It is significantly cheaper than flying through Dubai, and it is a shorter distance and requires less travel time. For us, flying through Istanbul is the preferred route.

I did dig around and found a couple of travel discussions from 2022, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to start a fresh one.

 

Is it possible to research flights to or from Russia these days? I've used Kayak in the past, but now they won't display search results "due to government restrictions".

 

The Aeroflot site won't let me on at all. I haven't tried any other carriers yet.

 

Do I need VPN or some <Deleted>

 

But seriously, what is it that people do these days to arrange travel?

 

Thank you.

just use google flights
