Cheap-ish way of doing the Moscow final

The flights are ridiculous now for Manchester - Moscow, and the hotels even more so.

So I've been looking at this for a trip.

Out on the Tuesday Morning Manchester to St Petersburg.

Book the cheapest hotel in St Petersburg just to get your Visa, get your head down for a couple of hours if you want.

Get the overnight train from St Petersburg to Moscow, and go back to St Petersburg on the Thursday.

Total costs.

Flight Manchester to St Petersburg 270 quid return

Train St Petersburg - Moscow 100 USD return for a sleeper cabin

Hotel in St Petersburg - 40 quid for a decent place

Total for the trip 360 quid plus you get to see St Petersburg which is a beautiful city

Anyone else with any other cheap options ??

Hope this is of some use to someone.

cheers, this is the kind of thing i am looking at tto, but from london instead. will post on here if i sort something. the papers today were saying there isn't a single room in moscow on the day of the final.

i'm looking into flights you can actually cancel and get your money back also.
