Closest Russian big city to Alaska
Magadan Air has a flight each Friday that leaves at 6:00 am. About $1400 US round trip. I wanted to go the Khabarovsk, however, there were no direct flights, so, since I had to stop in Petropavlovsk I decide to stay awhile. I am glad I did.
Arrival
Russian Immigration and Customs
Immigration and Customs took a long time, about two hours. You can not make any mistakes on the form, no crossing out misspellings, you must start over with a new form. When I got my turn I said nothing. Customs was interested in the anti-biotics that my Doctor prescribed if I got sick with extreme diarea. After a bit of confusing Russian Language I finnally said a Russian word. "Esle ..." "If I get sick ..." the Customs gaurd was wondering if I was sick. I said no. "Neit"
