    It's not EU (yet) so think of the duty free

    Most things can be bought at duty free prices even when travelling within the EU (or even within the UK)

    "Duty Free" is a hilarious joke. I've seen Polish vodka on sale for "duty free" prices before in London. The price was twice the Polish street price.
    From Poland...with love.
    They are (they're)     sitting on the floor.
    Their     books are lying on the floor.
    The books are sitting just there on the floor.

    However, as travel to Russia isn't advised against yet, there will be £40 per person, per flight cost to amend it to another destination. This seems ridiculous given the circumstances and it's not like we want to cancel completely.[/QUOTE]

    Actually it sounds pretty cheap considering what the normal costs for changing flights are in the industry.

    We are going to Moscow with easyjet 9th Aug for 5 nights with sons 16 and 18 years old.We arent worried.

    And rightly so.

    I have just returned from a long weekend in Moscow and there were no issues whatsoever.

    Obviously if any situation develops or deteriorates, then that is the time to review your plans and check out the FCO advice.

    As it currently stands, just enjoy your trip.
