Today I will write about a really short but handy flight from Krasnodar to Sochi. Nowadays the flight is operated by UTair, but around 3 years ago only Aeroflot did this flight, and even earlier, before 2012 Kuban airlines were flying it with YAK-42. This flight goes to Sochi and back multiple times every day, and usually it is operated by ATR-72, but if there is a big event taking place at Sochi, they fly it with a 737-800.
Before the flight
Here is the KRR appron: Look at this, that's my plane arriving from AER! The boarding for business class passengers is done with buses like these: Boarding to this aircraft is only available through the back of the plane, and that's why business class cabin is the back of the plane: Sunset boarding:
first part of the flight
That's how the row looks: (by the way UTair also puts one passenger to two seats, just like Austrian) That's what they have in the seat pocket: Here is the legroom: quite good, considering the fact that the plane is small: For take off and landing they give you a candy, just like about 10 years ago. Good old traditions) Wow! You can actually see what degree flaps are set to: They also give this "traveler kit" to you:
Mid-flight
They serve you meal and drinks: Looks like a bus:
Decent and after-flight
I booked a seat on the right side specially to see the Olympic Park (looks much better in real life): Here is the plane after the flight: And the olympic rings (I take a picture of them every time i come here :)):
