Nome is approximately 160 miles from Russia. In June 1988 the border between our countries was opened after being closed for 40 years during the cold war. Since 1988, thousands of Americans and Russians have traveled the one hour flight to Nome's sister city Provideniya. En route, passengers cross the international dateline, literally flying into tomorrow! Accommodations and tours may be booked through Circumpolar Expeditions. Arrangements must be made at least 1-2 months in advance to allow time to secure the required travel documents. Flights may be chartered or passengers may buy a vacant seat on an existing flight for a seat fare of approximately $400 round-trip. For more information, request a brochure from: Bering
