It’s been a month since my return from Thailand. Up what time flies fast— Emotions have already taken off, but nevertheless I will try to describe the transit through Novosibirsk in all colors. BUT it all started with the fact that we ended our group journey through north of thailand and i ended up in bangkok awaiting the appearance cheap airfare to Thailand. I wanted to wait for the burning charter, but they were all there was not, and as time went on. Wait too for a long time I could not, as I was waited at home, and the visa is about to be was over. At that time, the only airline that offered tickets at normal prices, was the S7, in fact, her I bought the air ticket (who should, I recommend to buy through Aviasales.ru and Skyscanner.ru). Bangkok – Novosibirsk – Moscow. Good such a route, transfer only 3 hours. What could be trick?
5 socks + sandals will help to hold out for 10 minutes and with minus 36 °
Transit across the street
I was so happy that I bought a ticket, that I first bought, and then started thinking. And I decided to first read how it happens docked in Novosibirsk in Tolmachevo, well, suddenly 3 hours is not enough. Now, what kind of tickets are not sold, you can buy, and not have time to dock, and no one will care. So, I climbed onto the forums to read and ask questions. Over time it became clear (some kind people told everything, even photos airport showed) that you need not worry about time in transit zone, and not to freeze, as in fact there is no this transit zone, but there are several hundred meters white snow between the terminals
Clearly, many will say that you are returning to Russia, and there is winter, like head it is necessary to think. So in my understanding, I head should think only before the flight and after it, it does not matter transit it or not. Many generally before the trip warm things in left luggage in his native city, and not in transit. So that it was too early to make the airport in Novosibirsk international, got excited. The transition between the terminals was heated first build and then assign status. Interestingly, would foreigners think about this?
Tale of how I walked in sandals at -36 ° in Novosibirsk
Thank god that I had enough brains not so much relax and still read the forums. Therefore, I immediately ran to Big C clothes to pack up and buy presents, I was still going to go there. Jacket I was strangled by a toad to buy, I have not seen for less than 5,000 baht, but why the hell is it disposable. I thought immediately to buy myself for the winter, good it was time to change already, but the choice of winter clothing in Thailand is mute. But I bought myself a cap for 80 baht, I barely found something masculine on women’s stand hats and scarves. Apparently, only Thai women of fashion are here. caps are worn. There were hats Columbia 1500 baht in a specialized sports store, but also, IMHO, complete bourgeoisie. I also I bought 2 pairs of less warm socks for 20 baht, and pants for 400 baht, that’s all warming. Of course I had with me several pairs of socks, two hoodies and a very light windbreaker. AND This set is quite enough for transit, unless, of course, you little flower scarlet.
Ready for transit and return to Russia!
Gifts too
The details of the fact that the flight S7 was delayed for 7 hours, I omit. I got a text message about this in advance and spelled part of the time at the hotel. Others settled into the hotel at the airport and fed. Me food too got, but later. Generally the feeling that they tried to eat us feed so that we are more silent. In total for the flight I ate 4 or 5 times! Truth and time spent on his feet turned out to be the result is more than a day. It is good that even then we are on the second A segment in Tolmachevo without any problems was planted (our initial flew away because of the delay).

Everyone is so funny flying home.
In the international terminal, we went on the sleeve, oh, glory to all the gods! But the exit from the passport control was in a room resembling stock. What there nafig arrival hall! And it is international terminal?
I envy a little, such are all charged before winter
International Terminal in Novosibirsk
I wrapped myself up as best I could, gathered my courage, took a 20-pound a backpack on my hands (I shook it with a fool in a film with straps and I didn’t want to unpack, the reviews were not very good the luggage of the S7), and set off to run to the local terminal, as I could. The first seconds – and what, -36 ° like and nothing, quite normal temperature. After 30 seconds – damn, how far I do not feel my face, my breath caught. I burst through the door like sinner in earthly paradise after hell pans. Sorry no one for me the parties were removed—
Preparing morally for a rush to another terminal
But the local terminal is quite normal, albeit small, but warm enough. What impressed me most was the loud announcement. connection: “Blah blah, passengers remember, the escalator represents vehicle increased danger. “It’s funny, after Suvarnabhumi Airport, with its 5th floors, elevators, traveling facilities, and other infrastructure. But the stump is clear, there is nothing more to declare, planes do not fly, shops do not work.
Terminal local departures
In any case, the local terminal is normal and why international is not done in the likeness and to build a corridor between them, I do not know. Okay, but not everyone will guess the forums to read, and not everyone will be ready to buy warm clothes for the sailing trip. Besides me was another five people, dressed all in the summer. Although not all warm clothes saved – secretly flew to Moscow packed in a sheepskin coat very ears. So she called her boyfriend (most likely) and something there was crying about fucking cold. She really cried, she apparently the first time had to face winter. This is not a cold zone in zoos Thailand, where give a fight -5 ° temperature.
Scoreboard makes us happy with winter temperatures
But that was not the end of it. At the local terminal sleeves are not It was foreseen and they put us on a bus, which should be carried to the plane. So he is not heated, japanese mother! 5 socks under sandals and other layers of my cabbage robes had to endure it too, I after all counted. But the fact that we will be brought up to the plane, we are there we will be 10 minutes blunt, and then we will go back to the terminal, since the plane is not ready yet (it was impossible to know about it in advance, nda) my the brain could not foresee. 20 minutes spent on the bus at -36 ° did not like not only me, but all passengers dressed in the winter. We returned to the terminal, as in childhood to mom on arms. And the secret continued to sob and swear in English in the phone. I it was already thought that I would witness the rupture of this relationship—
Brrr — How cold!
On the bus, when they were standing, I thought I would throw off the hoof
But nothing, we warmed up in the terminal and the second time we were taken before the plane without incident, and they let him in, and a little later apologized and began to feed again. Tyke fell asleep, I stared at window-

The food on the second segment was so-so, on the flight Bangkok-Novosibirsk was much better

I survived, and returned home to my Butovo!
P.S. Baggage is obtained in Novosibirsk and then surrenders again to Moscow Passport control is also in Novosibirsk. This cant is not S7, it is requirement of the Russian Federation.
