Flying supersonic jet was never cheap. The Concorde jet was costly to run and maintain that led to high ticket prices. MiG jet flights in Russian MiG jets are even more expensive. A MiG 29 flight costs more than USD 15000 for the MiG flight only. And the cost to travel to Russia is not included in that basic price for Russian MiG flights. Advanced MiG flights like stratospheric Edge of Space flights cost even more for the MiG flight only.

To put it bluntly: A mig flight is not available at a bargain price. MiG-31 flights to the stratosphere cost dependent of the jet flight duration up to EUR 20,000. And mig 29 flight is with about half the price for the short mig 29 flight program still expensive. Fly jet fighters is something that is not affordable for anybody: Many customers are top managers, entrepreneurs, or multinationals on the look for a truly unique incentive program for key staff or key account customers.

Why fly mig 29 is the only viable option left when you want to fly mig. After flying mig in Zhukovsky became impossible in 2006, Nizhniy Novgorod remains the only place world-wide where everyone can fly migs.

If you want to do a mig flight, you can currently only choose between a mig 29 flight or a flight in the mig-31. A few years ago, many more aircraft were available for a rented ride: Russian mig flights were carried out in mig-21, mig-23 and even mig-25. Those days are gone. What has changed?

To understand the current situation, let's look how the mig flights in Russia have evolved since the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Back in the 1990s, a mig flight was affordable for almost every European or American. Trembling Russian economy and widespread corruption made russian mig flights an incredible, yet affordable adventure - especially if you knew the right ways of booking.
