Shipping Alaska to Russia
 

Does anyone have any information about shipping bikes from Alaska to Russia,north eastern area and if petrol is readily available in that area of Russia?

Hi Suzi

Not easy or cheap, but it can be done by air: Air Magadan flies from Anchorage to Magadan, Russia, via Petropavlovsk, at US$4.0/kg plus passenger fare.

See post below for updated contact details.

Here are links to a few posts on this topic.

Updated contact details - Magadan Air

Phone number for Cargo: 907-351-8464. Ask for Nick. Price for bikes is less than previously - US$4.00/kg if over 100 kg + $100.00 for hazardous materials fee and paperwork.

Flights are WEEKLY (Friday morning). Freight has to be with them by Wednesday noon, so Customs has all day Thursday to inspect it. They fly MD80 airplanes, and have limited space, so you should contact them well in advance to ensure there is space for you to fly on the same flight as your bike.

Phone number for passenger sales: 907-248-2994. Ask for Natasha. Round trip ticket for passenger is $1312.80 if purchased 30 days in advance. One way ticket is $765.40, does not need advance purchase.

The way is from Anchorage to Seoul, then by ferry to Vladivostok and by ship to Magadan.
