An old friend now lives in Penza and asked me to visit him there and told me the only way to fly there is from DME which I thought would be easy I can book a non stop flight to DME but, can't find a way to book one online to Penza. If you know what to do please drop me a line. Thanks Dave

I had the same problem in 2006. Had to get from Moscow to Blagoveshchensk. No Russian airline site would accept my Australian credit card.

Ended up getting a ticket through Zuji, in those days it was a paper ticket delivered by post. Not sure if this is still the case or if they do e tickets now. Have a look at their site.

Thanks for the information. Guess the problem could be the airlines that fly there are not big enough that you can buy tickets on line. I have checked multiple travel websites and have not been able to find out what airlines go there or anything. You would think there would be a way to book a ticket online. David

If you search a bit you find e.g. in
http://www.flightstats.com/go/Airport/airportDetails.do?airportCode=PEZ
that the company going there is Bugulma Air Enterprise.
A quick search finds their email address. No webpage apparently:
Maybe your friend should buy your tickets and send them to you.

Having some time I looked a bit further. Via the Domodedovo website you can reach the website of a travel agency
http://www.ticketonline.ru/
where it seems that one can order tickets from Moscow to Penza.
It is in Russian, but if you enter Penza they will offer you the Russian spelling of the city and you will find the flights. It is up to you to find how easy it is to pay for them from abroad.
