Flights Kaliningrad to Minsk

I recently bought a ticket for a flight Kaliningrad-Minsk.. now looking at flight schedules I no longer see that flight operating on that day (May 8th). Is the flight canceled or just sold out?

I was planning on getting visa at airport, if the flight is cancelled I%26#39;ll have to get a rush visa from the embassy or book another flight via Moscow or Riga really soon.

I have just called our Airport Inquiry - the flight for friday 8 MAY seems all right with ETA 1805. The exact time will have to be checked one day prior to your arrival, but that you may need if someone meets you.

... and just to make sure. You do have some company or private person taking care of your invitation at the airport, don%26#39;t you?

Thanks for checking. I%26#39;d noticed on Belavia%26#39;s site (shows flight arrival/departure) that the same flight# was canceled last Friday. On booking sites I%26#39;m not seeing any Belavia flights Kaliningrad-Minsk from 5/8-5/12 inclusive. I wonder if it%26#39;s a thing with the holiday weekend?

I can buy another flight via Riga but it%26#39;s 2X the price.

I had contacted one company about the visa but they wanted 45EUR for the invitation + 10 EUR to meet at the airport. Seemed higher than some other places I%26#39;d seen online.

I%26#39;m wanting to stay at the Tourist Hotel (nr Partizansky metro)

Yes, it is a nice hotel, especially its renovated rooms.

However its a bit far from center and Planeta Hotel could compete by location and price.

Well, I know a place wit visa support at USD 20 and airport meeting at USD 40. Airport transfer at USD 45.

The flight must be all right.

Just got the notification that the Kaliningrad-Minsk flight on May 8th was cancelled... Belavia put me on the flight on May 7th, but my visa isn%26#39;t good until May 8th. The flights on AirBaltic via Riga are also now 2X the price they were before. Well at least my trip insurance (hopefully) covers that.

Well, it is good you kept on checking. And it is even better you were insured against such stuff.
