I've heard that there is a coming law, saying that Russians wont need a visa to to to Israel. I believe we'll receive just a stamp at the custom.
So it is another country if you want to meet ur lady without much difficulties

No Julie.

If anybody are wrong it's KLM and the International Air Transport Association. Personally I could not care a toss if one can travel to Israel as a Russian citizen.
But....

If the Israeli government should not know who should?? However, I would wonder very much why they have a tourist visa form on their web if no visa is required.
http://moscow.mfa.gov.il/mfm/web/main/document.asp?SubjectID=5278&MissionID=78&LanguageID=370&StatusID=0&DocumentID=-1

and the page is in Russian  :)

Israeli embassy in London says:
Countries that do not require a Visa
 
If you are a passport holder of one of the following countries you do not require a tourist visa to travel to Israel. If you are a citizen of a country not on this list contact the Consulate on 020-7957-9500. (Between 9-10am)

Argentina, Australia, Austria

Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil

Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic

Denmark, Dominican Republic

Ecuador, El Salvador

Fiji, Finland, France

Germany (from 01.01.1928) Gibraltar, Greece, Guatemala

Haiti, Hong Kong, Hungary

Iceland, Ireland, Italy

Jamaica, Japan

Korea South

Latvia, Lesotho, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg

Malawi, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Micronesia, Monaco, Mongolia

yes, they've already announced it. They hope to have more Russian tourists there. As you know Russian tourists love to waste money when they have a rest :)

 Cuba is a dam good spot. No violence,the only threat is from Cuban exiles living in Florida. :antagonize:
   I never have understood the reason not to visit a country just because you need a visa.  I needed a transit visa to travel in Poland back in 2003,and I never even used it , $100 down the WC  :'(

 Seriously do you watch the TV news ? If so what would any rational person want to take a vacation there, to save some money ?  I could just see it now , RW says " Dahling, I love all those airraid sirens going off, reminds me that I should of had you spend the extra $20 to go to Cyprus. :chuckle:

Yep, I was checking prices for February 2008 recently - Julie is right  :(  Approx. 1500$ out of 2000$ are for the flight.

So I better start accumulating my Aeroflot Bonus miles in a more active way, to collect the needed 50.000 miles by January  :P

Wonder why trips to Thailand are about 2 times cheaper (approx. 650$ for the flights, and 350$ accommodation \ meals \ transfers) - thought a free Aeroflot flight to Bangkok would take same 50.000 miles as Havana...

And... is this offer valid with the outward flight starting from DME?
