I went to Moscow about 12 years or so ago... the cost alone of a visa has ruled out me going back anytime soon.
However, Dont forget... there is a World Cup coming up in Russia in a few years
One of the arguments for VS starting Rio was because of the World Cup and the Olympics and that would drive initial and then long term demand yet nothing happened about that. Though that may have been due to delivery schedules of the 787-9. Rio was first raised in
2007 !They had the same chance for YVR in 2010 and missed it by 2 years!
If Easyjet can't make a go of it and reading flyer talk BA is having
issues (and like Brazil Russia has had an Olympics and World Cup is quick succession) then
(a) Why on earth would VS want to start a route that has known problems?
(b) Why on earth would DL let them?
