Studying abroad is a big step in every student’s life. That is why every step of the process has to be well planned. One of the most important steps while travelling is getting your tickets - flight, bus, or train tickets. It's very obvious that a well-planned trip makes your study abroad experience better. USTU is willing to help every student to properly plan a trip to Ukhta from anywhere in the world you might be coming from. One of the stressful things related to studying abroad is accurately booking your flights and finding affordable tickets.

Below there are some links to find affordable flight and train tickets to Russia and within Russia:

Train tickets can be booked online, it's an English version of the Russian railway company. You need to get registered. (In this online service the town of Ukhta is spelled as "UHTA"). The avarage price of the train ticket (Third Class) is 4000 rubles. Once you've bought your tickets to Ukhta, you need to send it to us via WhatsApp or Telegram (the phone number is +79048648556) in order for us to send a representative, who is going to meet and escort you to the dormitory after the arrival.

There are five routes how to get from Moscow to Ukhta. It depends on the Moscow airport you are going to land in. For you convenience please learn more about Moscow Metro and Russian trains. In addition to that, if you happened to have any kind of problems with Metro, you could as well order taxi services. We recommend to use either of two following services: 

  1. Uber taxi. Uber is a technology platform. The Uber app connects driver-partners and riders. Riders are quoted the fare that they will pay before requesting the ride. Uber uses a dynamic pricing model; prices vary based on projected time and distance as well as the time of day and the supply and demand for rides at the time the ride is requested. At the end of the ride, payment is made based on the rider's pre-selected preferences, which could be a credit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay or cash. We provide you a guide How to use Uber.
  2. GetTaxi. Gett is the free, on-demand transport and lifestyle app that allows you to easily book a taxi in Moscow and other cities. Available on iPhone and Android, Gett is the go-to app for getting what you need delivered to you, whenever you need it. We provide an unbeatable experience for our passengers, business users and drivers alike by giving them the most reliable, quickest and safest way to get the things they need, and get around. 

We highly recommend you to purchase a local SIM-card with connection to the Internet after the arrival to Moscow airport in order to stay in touch with us and let us help you and answer all the questions. There are outlets and shops in the airports where you can get yourself a SIM-card of local operators such as Megafon, Beeline, MTC. Tele2. The average cost is usually about 200-300 rubles. Along the way to Ukhta you may happen to have to buy something in Russia (e.g food, tickets to Metro, tickets to Ukhta if you haven’t bought it yet etc.) if that happened you would need to have cash money in rubles because here in Russia we do not accept dollars. You can exchange currency at airports. However, we inform you that the exchange rate at airports is quite overvalued, and henсe advising you not to exchange all the money you have, but only the amount you are going to need to get to Ukhta.

  2. to book the tickets on-line beforehand, it is cheaper and it is less chance to meet scammers, who will sell much more expensive tickets (if you are late, you can exchange your train tickets or partly refund them);
  3. not to take a taxi or any other services from a stranger. Remember: strangers can offer you overprice service because they see you are not a Russian and don't speak Russian. If you want to use any service offered you by a stranger, please, contact the International Department (WhatsApp) to find out if the price is reasonable.
