On our trip to bring our son Scott home from Kemerovo after spending lots of extra $ already as the agency had not booked us return flights from the region to Moscow during the busiest summer week & having to book flights on separate flights from my husband as there were not enought seats.. I was already a nervous wreck about flying with my son alone. We get to the airport & find one of our flights is delayed 4 hrs but we can all get on the same flight for even MORE $ but there is no exchange place in the airport so we used practically every last rublle we had... ok fine.. we get through security & they weigh ALL our bags (going out they did not weigh our backpacks). Some how we are over on the weight limit & need to pay $80 in rubles... we did not have enough & they would not us on the plane. I almost lost it.. thinking we are not getting on this plane!. We are so lucky though as there was ONE person on the plane who spoke English who was nice enough to take our dollars & give us rubles. I will always remember her!
