Why on earth don't you take the train? First Class is excellent, the food is brought to your cabin, it takes about six hours and it should be daylight all the way. Last time, there were a couple of delicious whores in the compartment next door and much mirth and merriment of an entirely innocent sort was engaged in.
The scenery is extraordinarily interesting, reflecting a sort of miniature but panoramic view of Russia since before the Second World War. You are sure to remain riveted to the window throughout the journey.
