We have been to Aerograd / Kolomna two times - this year and last year. Unfortunately it was our last trip to this DZ. The good things on this DZ are fast explained: - ticket price - aircrafts - safety-conscious Now we come to the list of bad things: - the "hotel" has the standard of a better youth-hostel in Europe and is more expensive. (Windows without mosquito net, bathrooms without windows and airing, ants coming out of the splices in the bathroom, windows besides the airing of the kitchen) - The "restaurant" is expensive as Munich city, the food is between edible and awful, the servings are small, the service is horrible (no English, up to 45 min waiting time for a beer), in ten days we didn't get one correct bill; - The cafe is also expensive as Munich (a small coffee with milk is about 3-4EUR) - The only announcements from manifest which are in English are load calls; for the reasons of holdings or how long they will take you have to ask separately - You have to count your jumps because there are frequently errors in the jumping-bill - A lot of holdings because of the military - They raised the ticket prices against last year by 15% (actual 500RUB (13,5 EUR) when you buy 50 tickets; - they reduced the exit level from 4300m (at the first exit) to 4000m; so if you are the last exit you are on 3800m; - They take more money for the helicopter (Mi-8) tickets now, but that doesn't matter because it doesn't work anyway :( Result: If you only want to jump and don't worry about anything else, it's maybe worth the trip (depends on the holdings). But if you like to have a cold beer and good meal after more than 10 jumps a day, without driving to Kolomna to go to a even more expensive restaurant, don't do it!
