In order to make travel even more convenient, airBaltic is increasing the number of flights and replacing smaller
airplanes with the Boeing 737, which seats larger numbers of passengers. Since the beginning of the summer season, for instance, there have been six airBaltic flights a week to St. Petersburg, with one-way ticket prices beginning at LVL 51, airport fees included.

As the summer season has begun, airBaltic has opened its downtown office in Minsk in addition to the exisiting Airport office, thus making it easier for clients to book and purchase their tickets and to receive more extensive information about flights.
This is the address for the Minsk office of airBaltic:
Minsk, Masherova av., 19, room 6
Telephone, fax: +375-17-226-9043

During the summer months, it will also be much easier to travel to the Ukrainian capital city this year. Hoping to promote his country’s economic development and to attract foreign tourists, the Ukrainian president has lifted visa requirements for citizens of the European Union’s member states and Switzerland. The visa-free programme began on May 1 and will continue for four months, thus making it far easier for the citizens of the aforementioned countries to visit Kiev. Ukraine will begin negotiations with the EU on further easing up of the visa regime in October of this year.

It should be noted that the extensive network of airBaltic routes allows travellers from these four Eastern European cities to use Riga as a convenient hub from which travel to Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki and beyond can begin.
