Your best bet is to ask the guards at the museum. If necessary, try giving a tip and see if that works. I bet it will =)
Jump to postAwesome report! I love Saint Petersburg. I have been there many times and it's by far my favorite city in the world. What made you decide to travel to Russia?
Jump to postAs a loyal UA flyer, i have been on their 737's from ORD to home, and loved the TV's, but never paid for it as the flight is less than an hour and i would rather rest or look out the window.

Jump to postThanks for your awesome reports. I was just thinking the same thing as the OP above. It's been a while since your last report...

Jump to postI don't think people that are extremely overweight or with certain disabilities/problems should be alone on flights.

Jump to postSaw Hamilton ant the Benedum last night. Near the front of the program is a two page ad for the PIT-LHR flight, co-branded with BA and PIT.

Jump to postOne more thing....
Via Air has an F-rating from the Better Business Bureau. 71% of their TripAdvisor reviews are poor or terrible, compared to 27% for Allegiant, 26% for United, and 25% for Sun Country. (Southwest and Alaska come in at 6% and 7%, respectively.)
This is the exact problem with government/public agencies picking winners and losers. No accountability for OneJet…and worse apparently going to the well a second time. (I suppose WOW could be lumped in here too except at least in that case PIT was not alone in falling for it). OneJet seemed like a...

After seeing both OneJet and PeoplExpress blow up in tremendous fashion, I’m pretty reluctant to see any startup come to PIT at all to be quite honest.

Jump to postAGC is pain to get to from much of the area. I think the hassles of getting to and from there pretty much offset any convenience of going through there.

Honestly, Pittsburgh's transit is one of the best out there for a city of our size. There are very few mid-tier US cities that can touch it, both in scale and in usage. We were one of the first cities in the world to pioneer busways – the East Busway specifically is a jewel that doesn't get enough ...
Jump to postIt's funny how so many other cities around the country and the world have public transit that is easily accessible and useful.
