While there are loads of websites that sell outrageously expensive first or second class tickets for the Trans-Siberian, I can't quite figure out what a good price is. What did most people pay? How easy is it to book a trip with several stops on the way? Thanks, Lorraine

I think you arrive in Kholmsk which is supposed to be a dump! If you plan on spending any time in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, I'd definitely book FAR ahead (all the hotels are always booked out by the oil companies and their contractors). If you find out anything, please post it here! Thanks, Lorraine
