45 Russian school children

waited to board flight to Barcelona.

Is their reward

for doing well at school.

Among them, is 11 year-old

Artur Chammatov

At the start of the school year,

we agreed that 
if he'v finished with top grades.

Then he could go with the group.

When I came back from work one evening,

he came up to me 
and showed me his school report card.

And said,' Dad! Look! I kept my word.'

And he looked at me 
with a question in his eyes.

And i said,'Good!' 
I've promised he can go.

The children are from Uver, 
in Central Russia.

They've been delay in Moscow

because they missed their original flight.

The replacement has been charted 
to take them to Spain.

Also on the flight, 
has Swetlana Kaloeva and her children,

Konstantin and Diana.

They're visiting their father,
who's been working in Spain

for year an a half.

I've spoke to them on phone every day,

which makes my days more easier.

That was hard to not to see my 
children for such a long time.

Swetlana(Mother) is lucky

to get seats on 
its back xxx in chartered.

Delays in getting visas meant 
other flights were also that.

We're finally going to see each other

and we're going to have fun together

The crew completed final preparations.
