Cheap flights to Minsk (MSQ)
The capital of Belarus is over one thousand years old but it's now known for being a well preserved example of its recent Soviet past. Travelers who are looking for something new are starting to pour in, and the infrastructure is quickly being updated to accommodate them. Flights to Minsk are easy to find as long as you are prepared to change planes nearby in Europe. Using Webjet you’ll be able to quickly find the cheapest flights on any airline as well as the best days to fly for the absolute lowest price airfare possible. The current international airport is sometimes called Minsk 2, as it mostly replaced the one called Minsk 1 in 1989. There are still some flights between the city and Moscow out of Minsk 1, but nearly everyone is better off concentrating on the newer facility for the cheapest flights.
Airfare to Minsk
Finding cheap flights to Minsk can be challenging if you are coming from somewhere outside of Moscow or eastern Europe. Belarus has a national airline that is based in Minsk and they fly to quite a few different destinations around Europe and Asia, but for many of them there is little competition so prices tend to be high. There are frequent flights connecting through Frankfurt and Warsaw so often the cheapest flights are on airlines using those hubs.
