The OneTwoTrip travel service analyzed sales of air tickets for routes in which the departure and arrival cities are located outside of Russia and the CIS countries, and identified the most popular flight destinations among compatriots abroad.
As the company told the TRN portal, the first place in the unusual rating went to the Helsinki-Prague route, the second most popular were flights from Bangkok to Phuket, the third - flights from Bangkok to Samui. The New York-Miami route closes the top 15.
"The destinations included in the rating can be divided into three large groups. The first is flights from Helsinki, whose inclusion in the selection is largely explained by the popularity of the local airport among travelers from St. Petersburg. The second group is flights between popular tourist locations in Thailand, as well as from Thailand to other countries in Southeast Asia and between them. The third is flights between major cities in the USA," comments Leonid Ryaboshtan, head of the air direction of the OneTwoTrip service.
It is also interesting that the TOP-15 popular foreign routes included flights from Istanbul to Antalya. According to the service experts, this is due to the increased popularity of Turkey among Russian independent travelers, as well as their desire to combine sightseeing and seaside vacations within one trip.
