Wizz resumes flights to Russia
Wizz Air has restarted flights between Luton and St Petersburg, but the Foreign Office continues to advise against non-essential travel to Russia and visitors returning to the UK are required to self-isolate for 14 days.
Also, anyone arriving in Russia must present a negative Covid-19 test dated no more than 72 hours before arrival.
Wizz Air UK MD Owain Jones said: "We are proud to be the sole British carrier connecting the UK to St Petersburg, providing a genuinely affordable and unique travel opportunity to our UK customers."
Fares start at £19.99 one way and flights operate on Wednesdays and Fridays.
