Tireless fans of tourism are constantly in search of more unexplored places. Among the rich variety of new directions, the Cypriot city of Larnaca enjoys special demand among Russians. This is especially true of the summer period, when the clear Mediterranean Sea and its white sandy beaches attract hundreds of tourists to relax on the coast of Cyprus.
When is it more profitable to fly?
Perhaps, each passenger calculates the time of year when it is most profitable to fly with one or another company. This also applies to flights to Cyprus. So, cheap flights to the island state begin in October and continue through April.
It is at a time when there is no major influx of tourists that you can buy cheap flights from Moscow to Larnaca. Accordingly, with the beginning of the season, from May to September, airlines raise the price of tickets and their services.
Larnaca Airport and City
Included in the top three major cities of Cyprus, the city of Larnaca is freely located on the southeastern coast of the island. Both local residents and numerous tourists consider this city a world-class resort. It is noteworthy that in Larnaca is the largest international airport of the island (international code LCA). It is located 4 kilometers southwest of the city itself.
The airport was urgently built to replace the airfield in Nicosia after dividing the island into Northern Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus, and several years ago there was a major reconstruction of the entire building along with auxiliary facilities. The air harbor of an independent island accepts both regular scheduled and charter flights.
Flight time
When planning their vacation, each traveler thinks about the time of flight to a particular country. For many, when choosing a vacation destination, important information is the duration of the flight, as well as the convenience and quality of passenger service during the flight. Often people refuse the desired vacation spot in favor of a closer one in distance. The reason for this may be intolerance to enclosed spaces or fears of long flights.
For those living in the European part of Russia, Cyprus is one of the most convenient holiday destinations due to the geographical proximity of the island and the frequency of direct flights between cities. Despite this, many residents of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East also fly with pleasure to Cyprus. The distance between the cities of Moscow - Larnaca (the flight time on average takes 3 hours 50 minutes) in a straight line is 2337 kilometers.
Direct and connecting flights
Flights Moscow-Larnaca are operated daily by companies such as Pobeda (a subsidiary of Aeroflot), directly by Aeroflot itself, Ural Airlines and the Novosibirsk airline S7. Russian carriers make flights from such well-known Moscow airports as Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo. The cheapest tickets at the moment are Ural Airlines, their cost starts from 3,729 rubles.

The flight route in this case will be with transfers. The latter, as a rule, are committed in Thessaloniki, Heraklion, Athens, Paris, Warsaw, Chisinau and other cities.
So, if you take the cheapest Moscow - Larnaca ticket, then it will be Moldovan airlines. But the transfer time will be 18 hours 40 minutes with a stop in Chisinau. The next low cost tickets will be from the Greek company Aegean Airlines - transfer in Thessaloniki, waiting time - 55 minutes.

In addition, with the beginning of the season, additional charter flights are opened, on which numerous travelers are transported.
