There aren’t any McDonald’s outlet in Crimea since the fast-food chain ceased operations following the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.

In what can only be described as an extravagant display of wealth, a Russian man booked a helicopter ride to eat a burger at McDonald’s.

According to reports, Viktor Martynov and his girlfriend were vacationing in Crimea when they got fed up of the local food outlets there. Dying to have a burger, he booked an expensive two-way helicopter ride to the nearest McDonald’s outlet which was 450 km away. The entire journey cost Victor around 2,000 pounds.

He flew to Krasnador, a city in Russia, to have burgers at a Mcdonald's outlet.

It is to be noted that there aren’t any McDonald’s outlet in Crimea since the fast-food chain ceased operations following the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.   

Martynov, 33-year-old, is the CEO of a Moscow company that sells helicopters.

”My girlfriend and I were tired of proper, organic food, we wanted normal Moscow food. Therefore, we took a helicopter and flew to Krasnodar. In fact, it turned out to be an interesting adventure: we ate hamburgers and flew by helicopter,” KP news quoted him as saying. 

It is quite shocking considering he spend that much amount of money on a dinner that was worth 49 pounds. Martynov ordered burgers, fries, and milkshakes to satisfy his hunger.
