My fees
(or, as that demagogue uncle Pasha prefers to
call them, contribution towards keeping my part of the operation afloat)
$50 for one or two ticket.
$100 for complex cases or a bunch
of tickets, or tickets with connections, stopovers and what not.
20eur/hour for other errands.
$50-60 for airport pickup (done by one of the
people from www.moscowdrivers.net)
Looking things up in the
telephone directory, or making a couple of calls on your behalf is
complimentary. If that is not enough I can be hired at an hourly rate, with
3 hours minimum. Payment can be
done by Western Union/Money Gram or as a transfer to my bank account (Eur
or USD). Ask for
exact instructions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT BUY
TICKETS ORIGINATING OUTSIDE OF RUSSIA (BEIJING, ULAN-BATOR ETC.). TICKETS
ORIGINATING IN RUSSIA MAY OR MAY NOT BE PROCURED - ASK ABOUT YOUR PLANNED
DATE NO MORE THAN 60 DAYS BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE. EX MOSCOW TICKETS ARE NO
PROBLEM.

Most of my clients buy 2nd class (4 persons per compartment) tickets. 1st
class (2 persons) are almost twice as expensive. Cattle car tickets are half
the 2nd class price. Economy enthusiasts may consider local commuter trains
(na sobakakh - on the dogs in local travel slang) which will take you across
the continent for $50-80. |
