  Primary flight destinations are Abakan (ABA) or Krasnoyarsk (KJA).  In late May, a flight from JFK to KJA costs $600 plus $150 in taxes = $750 one way.

2013

• Notes from Geraldine Fagan (September):
• From Abakan, full-size buses leave daily from the bus station at 15.15, 19.15, 23.40, journey time 6.5-7 hours, cost 600 roubles.
• Mini-buses (marshrutki) and shared cars leave from the railway station (left-hand side as you face the entrance). Marshrutka place 700 roubles, car place 1,200 roubles. Normally at least one vehicle waiting there, but would fill up more or less quickly (and so leave quicker) only after arrival of long-distance trains early morning (06.00, 06.35, 07.17).
• We splashed out for a whole car (6,000 roubles). No regrets - new-ish western cars, journey takes a maximum of 5 hours including stops wherever we wanted. Excellent new road.
• Reliable, Russian-speaking Tuvan drivers +79233854591, +79232651668
• If there's time, traditional Khakassian restaurant Khoon Khoorai well worth a visit in Abakan - Ul. Shchetinkina 21
