Airline ticket prices vary depending on time of year, the day of the week, upcoming holiday (Christmas, New Year’s Eve etc). It’s always cheaper to fly: ~ during the middle of the week; airlines hike up their prices on weekends (because most people travel on the weekends); ~ after any major holiday prices are *mostly* always cheaper; ~ early morning/late nights, which is not very convenient, hence not a lot of people want to fly/travel then; etc... There is also the so-called "eight-week rule": the cheapest time to book your flight, is ABOUT eight weeks before you plan to leave. Q: "Where can I find those cheapest plane tickets to Russia from Philippines?" A: you have to track changes in flight prices everyday in order to notice those "consistent patterns" I've mentioned above. It's time consuming process, so you need to have patience. In a couple of months you'll know where to buy them. Prices are changing every single day, and sometimes "low cost" airlines" have less advantageous prices... there are also "hidden costs". @>UNORTHODOX< : "Assemble a makeshift mattress raft and paddle yourself a route to Vladivostok and take the Trans-Siberian railway to Moscow. Certainly the cheapest.....but by no means the easiest." A: just because you have not graduated from high school, *kid*, and therefore can not come to Rus' *to stare at and drool over Slavic beauties*, does not mean that you should pollute this sub-category with your bilious envy. It's not nice.

What about appartmets? Vladivostok - ~$50 per day - http://vl.sutochno.ru/ Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - http://moneron.biz/rooms.php orthers - http://www.komandirovka.ru/hotels/sakhalin/ Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky http://www.idelveis.com/about/ http://www.komandirovka.ru/hotels/petropavlovskkamchatskiy/

3rd class from Vladivostok to Moscow? Non-stop? This adventure is not for the faint of heart. Full car of people who have not washed weekly.

Go to trans siberian railway in google, you can see tickets. If you want to go from Vladivostok to Moscow, that is like trans siberian railway. http://www.russiantrain.com/ Just type in Vladivostok in departure box, then moscow in arrival one. Pick a date and click search.

The fall and winter are usually the best times to travel to Russia in general. If you're going to Vladivostok, you'll most likely go through Soeul, or, if you intend on taking the train to your final destination then Moscow or Harbin/China. However, as you've mentioned, time is a factor for you so you probably won't be able to use those options. If you decide you want to travel via Japan, you can go to Vladivostok by ferry from Fushiki, but the nearest airport that I know is Toyama (which is about an hour drive from Fushiki port). But, you're not really going to save any money, because whatever you save in airfare you'll make up for in taxi/ferry/train costs. And the cheapest origin cities to Russia will be the major traffic hubs such as Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), Newark (NWR), or Atlanta. And the cheapest carriers will be AirFrance/KLM via Schiphol, Aeroflot, Delta, or (if you're going via Soeul) Korean Air.

it would probably cost more than the car's value. from Russia to New Zealand it is probably thousands of miles. It would probably be more cost efficient to sell your vehicle in Russia and buy a new one when you reach New Zealand. I found only one site about New Zealand to Russia.

It's quite unusual to go to Vladivostok - most people go to Beijing because a) there's more to do and b) because it's cheaper and easier to get out from. Travelling from St Petersburg will more than likely require a change of trains in Moscow anyway. Irkutsk and Lake Baikal is a popular stop.
