A few questions about transfering from domestic to international in Novosibirsk, Russia
Situation: I am flying via S7 Airlines from Pulkovo in St Pete to Tolmachevo in Novosibirsk, and another flight from there to Incheon, South Korea via S7 again. This is, to the extent of my knowledge, a singulr ticket deal that was purchased together in a single deal and payment. I have next to no experience in flights and transitions of this length, price and importance, and so would very much appreciate answers to the following questions I have:
- Can I use Duty Free Shops in Pulkovo before the flight to Tolmachevo, Novosibirsk?
- Is the first flight from Pulkovo, St Pete to Tolmachevo, Novosibirsk considered "domestic"?
Thank you.
Best Answer
As a general rule, you cannot shop in a duty-free shop and then hop on a domestic flight.
The duty-free shop is obliged to ensure you do not try to smuggle the item back into the country, and obviously if your next hop is on a domestic flight, they simply cannot ensure that.
