    Don´t know...one russian told me to register within 24h...the other one told me not to bother because immigration won´t.
    I´m in the last quater..If someone checks oyo out play dumd tourist.

    I hate the draw...can´t get back to Sweden..as selfemployed it stinks a bit..but there is just too much miles to go.

    Been on WC 2018 since 2015,,just don´t know what to do really.checking flights and sites..nothing is working out..don´t know what to do.

    I was really looking forward to this....it´s all gone all little bit sour.The distances is enourmous.

    I am a little bit sad.

    What the fekk is I´m supposed to do here?
    Allright,Nizhny I will fix on my own..but then what?
    Nizhny to Sochi is an awful many miles..isn´t it.
    Allright.everythings well at blck sea coast after SWEDEN beats Germany..and then what?
    A trip to Siberia....that´s what.
    I don´t know what to do...obviously free trains is out of the equation.
    I hate flying..I am always scared.
    Fekk this..feekkk beating gli azzurri.I am probably not made for this.

    Brother, put down the pipe! you have plenty time to plan. There are sleeper trains, there are buses. maybe get together with fellow country men and ride it out caravan/bus type. You still have plenty of time @Wolves1889. Group hug!

    exactly. are you just following your nation? and yeah I'm Philly based. I was looking into trains today. lots of varied options, and you have time between games. What are your destinations? Maybe some of the Russian based members can give you some advise.

    I'm looking at that too and honestly, it's tough. I'm probably just gonna take a flight because the train appears to be 15 hours long. I'm hold off on buying flights for a few months as they will likely be adding more flights.

    The only Brazil games that are feasible to go by train are between Moscow and St Petersburg.

    I'm thinking of driving that one - or hiring a driver/taxi - it's only 5 hours or so, and there should be plenty of fans doing the route to split the far with.

    The one I'm scratching my head with is Samara to Sochi.. flights are hella expensive because they aren't direct (through Moscow)...
    Does any one know if there are more flight routes that are going to be launched soon/later?

    I've been looking at that route too (and all the other Australia group game routes). Right now the best I've seen are flights for AU$200-300 that go via Moscow.

    According to Fox Sports "...organisers have promised to add extra direct flights for the tournament" (https://www.foxsports.com.au/footba...k/news-story/f92d99de294dd7f48197eec43540a8fe). But I've got no idea when or if that's definitely happening though. I'm not sure who the "organisers" are

    I have looked at the travel between the cities and it is a nightmare!

    We will be following 2 countries - Australia & Egypt and the issue is:

    Egypt plays in Ekaterinburg on 15/6 at 5PM and then Australia in Kazan on 16/6 at 1PM. I have looked at the flights and there is only one possible one to take and it is about $650AUD per person .... that is insane!!

    Then we have Egypt playing in Volgograd on 25/6 and Australia in Sochi in 26/6 both at 5PM - atleast that one gives you a bit more time however that doesn't help as the flights don't give you enough time after the game and the 26/6 they would arrive too late.

    What to do? Any suggestions?

    You would think that they would make more flights available and direct flights at that for people who want to go to other cities during the world cup. I feel this is going to be a nightmare.

    Please is the Utair company reliable for Russian internal flights?
    I can see the problem in Kazan Samara flight between the quarter final matches. I think I will buy the expensive flight in Saturday morning July 7th with stopover in Moscow. I’m traveling with my wife and I don’t want to risk.

    Are the trains really that slow? Google maps says 10 hours for Kazan to Saransk which is only 400km away. That's less than 50kph (30mph). Sounds ridiculously slow.

    @Nick Kharchenko and @Felipao~ could you give me a primer on how to book through http://pass.rzd.ru/main-pass/public/en ?
    I tried doing a dry run just to see prices etc even though you can't book that far in advance but how do you put how many passengers are going? Usually or at least in the states you put down the info for train/flight i.e. dates and how many passengers but I'm not figuring out here. What is the process? Thank you for your time and info.

    Got the flights, now a body is trying to see if he can get tickets for Mexico vs Germany in Moscow.

    Shit getting from Sochi to Moscow and then back to Sochi may be the most expensive flight with in country for us.

    Hey @Nick Kharchenko , is the 120-days limit already confirmed? Do you have any idea when it will be available?

    I’m afraid because I have a few games in Nizhny, but I’ll be based in Moscow, so it’s really important to book the trains that I need ASAP.
