Hainan Airlines to Moscow: Melbourne from $3261, Sydney from $3283 Return in Business Class - Sep to Dec 2026

About the Airline

These fares are with Hainan Airlines in Business Class, departing from Melbourne and Sydney. Hainan is one of the few airlines to hold a Skytrax 5-Star Airline rating, and it isn’t part of a global alliance, instead relying on selected codeshares and the wider HNA Group network.

Hainan’s Australian services connect through China rather than the Middle East or Southeast Asia. On recent Australia to Europe fares the connecting point has been Haikou, China (HAK) — see Haikou Meilan International Airport on MinimumConnectionTime.com for an overview of the airport and its connection times. The connecting city can vary by date, so check the routing shown at booking and confirm you have enough time on the ground before you commit.

Note also that MOW is a city code covering all of Moscow’s airports, so check which airport your itinerary actually arrives into.

About the Destination

Moscow is Russia’s capital and its largest city, built around the Kremlin and Red Square with the onion domes of St Basil’s Cathedral at one end and the GUM department store along one side. The Tretyakov Gallery holds the country’s best collection of Russian art, the Bolshoi Theatre remains one of the world’s great opera and ballet houses, and the Moscow Metro’s Stalin-era stations — Komsomolskaya and Mayakovskaya in particular — are worth riding around purely to look at. Summer and early autumn are the most comfortable months to visit; by December daytime temperatures sit well below freezing.

Australians should read the current government advice before booking: the Australian Government’s Smartraveller advice for Russia is do not travel, and consular help is very limited. Travel insurance is unlikely to cover a destination under a do-not-travel advisory.
