Departure of the "Comet" from Sochi is scheduled for 10:30. Passengers are advised to arrive at the pier by 08:30 to go through border and customs formalities. The ship departs back from Sukhum at 16:30, and disembarkation in Sochi is scheduled for 19:00.

Tickets for the Saturday flight are already available for purchase on the official website ticket.kometasochi.ru. However, when buying tickets, there is still confusion with the final cost.

We decided to clarify the cost of tickets at the box office by phone +7-913-286‑36‑37, we were quoted the amount of 1500 ₽ per ticket one way. Later they called back and already named the amount of 1200 ₽ there and 2200 ₽ round trip. At the same time, they offered to pay for tickets by transfer to a card or in person at the box office. When asked why tickets on the site are 500 ₽ cheaper, they stated that the site is "raw", but "you can buy there for 1000 ₽".
