Clinic spent 2,5 months negotiating and&nbsp;lobbying to get them permitted again.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/icons_01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" \/><br \/> While&nbsp;we kept lobbying for&nbsp;resumption of charter flights, we urgently arranged buses going from St. Petersburg to Helsinki and&nbsp;back in&nbsp;late August \u2013 October. These buses picked our clients up at&nbsp;arrivals in&nbsp;Helsinki airport and&nbsp;brought them to St. Petersburg and&nbsp;back. As&nbsp;O.L.G.A. clinic owners we have subsidized the whole buses whether&nbsp;there were 15 or&nbsp;30 passengers on&nbsp;board.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/icons_02.png\" width=\"50\" \/><br \/>\nYesterday, 3 November, Dr. Michael finally achieved the official permission for&nbsp;our clinic\u2019s own charter flights to restart! Our flights will go every Sunday from St. Petersburg to Helsinki and&nbsp;back at&nbsp;least from 8 November<br \/> until&nbsp;27 December. Congratulations!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/icons_03.png\" width=\"50\" \/><br \/>\nWe fought for&nbsp;this opportunity for&nbsp;our clients because&nbsp;we believe that&nbsp;1 hour flight and&nbsp;quick passage through formalities in&nbsp;Finland and&nbsp;Russia that&nbsp;we supervise is better than&nbsp;9h bus trip from Helsinki to St. Petersburg and&nbsp;back with unpredictable waiting time and&nbsp;decisions at&nbsp;Finnish and&nbsp;Russian borders.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/icons_04.png\" width=\"50\" \/><br \/> And&nbsp;since we believe so, we will subsidize the whole flights. We have to pay for&nbsp;the whole airplane both ways already from 8 November. This was outside of our control that&nbsp;negotiations with local authorities took unpredictable amount of time. Actually, these negotiations had unpredictable prognosis either \u2013 we never knew whether&nbsp;we would get flights approved or&nbsp;not.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/icons_05.png\" width=\"50\" \/><br \/>\nThe charge for&nbsp;one ticket will be 290\u20ac one way independent on&nbsp;whether&nbsp;there will be 50 or&nbsp;2 passengers on&nbsp;board. Departure every Sunday from 8 November, from St. Petersburg at&nbsp;15:55 local time, from Helsinki \u2013 at&nbsp;16:55 local time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/icons_06.png\" width=\"50\" \/><br \/>\nWe cannot let circumstances stop you from reaching your goal! And&nbsp;we wish to provide you with comfort you deserve, the normality and&nbsp;safety of travel in&nbsp;unusual times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the alternatives?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We have to accept that&nbsp;we do not have enough funds to subsidize both: the buses and&nbsp;the flights; we chose to subsidize flights even&nbsp;if&nbsp;this is a higher financial risk for&nbsp;us, because&nbsp;we think this option is best for&nbsp;our clients.<\/li>\n<li>There are regular flight connections, for&nbsp;example, via London, Zurich, Moscow and&nbsp;Istanbul, here we have no influence on&nbsp;flight cancellations or&nbsp;decisions during formalities on&nbsp;departure and&nbsp;arrival.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0We can arrange a taxi from St. Petersburg to the border between Russia and&nbsp;Estonia (3h, 100\u20ac) and&nbsp;from the border &#8211; another taxi to Tallinn airport (3h 110\u20ac); there is a 200m walk between two countries during which&nbsp;passport formalities are done. We can arrange a taxi but&nbsp;have no influence on&nbsp;formalities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We believe that&nbsp;a regular flight to Helsinki with convenient connecting charter flight from Helsinki to St. Petersburg and&nbsp;back, quick passage through formalities &#8211; supervised by us &#8211; is the best travel option for&nbsp;our clients today.<\/p>\n<p>We all experience unusual times, and&nbsp;many things are outside of your control and&nbsp;our control.
