The Long Haul - Vladivostok to Moscow on a 777-300

[yspotter]

Hello there IFC, today I’ll be flying a very popular domestic russian route, from the capital of the Far East, Vladivostok (VVO) to Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO). This route carries the highest volume of traffic out of all the routes to-and-from the Russian Far East, as Vladivostok is a hub for economic growth and foreign investment. Join me on this nice leisurely flight!

I did the inverted route a couple months ago, it was fun flying the 77W in a domestic fashion.

This route is also done occasionally with the a330 and 350s

The fact that this domestic flight is 8+ hours and crosses 7 timezones is astonishing to me
