Report from Skyexpress - Russia's low-cost airline launch

Unfortunately not by me, but this is a nice blog post by a Russian passenger on a Skyexpress Boeing 737-300 undertaking one of the first of the airline's flights from Moscow Vnukovo airport to Sochi. It's in Russian, but Google language tools does quite a nice job of getting the gist of the report. And for me the striking thing is how startlingly similar the whole experience is to, say, an Easyjet trip. Skyexpress is linked to Airunion, reportedly with some Western investment involved too. I'm not sure where they got their concept from, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were Luton, England.
