Especially for healthy-food-near-me.com, the specialists of the Tutu.ru travel service have found out where you can have an inexpensive vacation at the sea (or on salt lakes) in the summer months. Experts analyzed all search queries over the past week and compiled the top cities where you can buy the cheapest air tickets.
Most airlines distinguish three categories of children’s air tickets: infant under 2 years old or infant (such a passenger flies without a separate seat on a free ticket or with a 90% discount); children 2-12 years old (for them the air ticket price usually ranges from 70% or more of the adult fare) and adolescents from 12 to 18 years old – everything is like an adult here: the standard ticket price.
The closer the departure date, the usually more expensive the air ticket, therefore in June in some directions the cost of the air ticket may be higher than in July or August. On the other hand, July and August are the peak holiday months, when demand increases and tickets become more expensive.
The cheapest option is to fly to the amber capital of Kaliningrad. A roundtrip air ticket for one adult will cost 5 thousand rubles. 2 hours of flight – and you seem to be in Europe, but you are not. After seeing all the beauties of Kaliningrad, go to the region – there are beautiful towns with a preserved German heritage. It is worth visiting Svetlogorsk, Zelenogradsk, Pravdinsk, Baltiysk, Chernyakhovsk. Wander around the Curonian Spit, look at the dancing forest and pick up amber in your palm. And especially hardened ones can swim in the Baltic Sea.
In second place is the resort town of Mineralnye Vody. People come here to improve their health with healing waters and admire the sights – both natural and man-made. Volgograd closes the top three. June is not quite suitable for a beach holiday, but the first month of summer is the time for strawberries, cherries and cherries.
The cheapest option to be on the Black Sea coast is to buy tickets to Sochi (6,7 thousand rubles), Simferopol (7,1 thousand rubles), Anapa (7,8 thousand rubles) or Gelendzhik (7,9 thousand rubles). And you can get to the Crimean cities of Kerch and Sevastopol using a single ticket (at the Simferopol airport, you need to change to a bus to the desired city).
Another option for a seaside holiday with children is to go to Makhachkala, to the coast of the Caspian Sea. Water in June warms up to 22,2 degrees on average. Maybe not for a long sitting in the water, but for jumping in the waves it will definitely fit. And it is better to go swimming for a long time in July and August.
Traveling abroad will be more expensive – for obvious reasons. But the prices for the tickets themselves are quite comparable to some Russian destinations. But exotics and impressions – more than enough.
Do not forget to take care of what to do with your child on the plane. Here, each parent has their own life hacks, and advice depends on the age of the child.
“In my experience, for a baby under one year old, the most important thing is that the mother is nearby, the breast / dummy and the baby sling / stroller. Last October, she flew with her 9-month-old son and could calm him down, either by rocking him in a sling, or by feeding him. For older children, you need to think about entertainment and food. For my one and a half year old son, I downloaded various cartoons into the tablet, took books for reading, books with stickers, a pill box with windows, where I put rice rings for children. The pillbox captivated the child for a long time. Many people advise choosing flights for sleep. It didn’t work out for me, the child had too many impressions, he did not sleep. I also advise you to drip drops into your nose so that your ears do not block, feed or drink during takeoff and landing, “- shared her experience with the head of the press service of the travel service” Tutu.ru ” Natalia Anisimova.
There are many advantages to traveling by rail. First, it is interesting to look out the window. Secondly, there are no special baggage restrictions.

You can get there directly. But one global minus – the train journey will take longer.
