You can stay in Russian/Norwegian waters. The quicker option would probably be Finnish/Swedish waters from St.Petersburg.

#22US fighters and/or ships could _arguably_ intercept a civilian aircraft in international waters and force landing in another country.

Do they have a no-fly list now as well?
Norway and Russia share a land border.

#24There's direct Aeroflot flights between Moscow and Oslo (SVO - OSL). US fighters and/or ships could _arguably_ intercept a civilian aircraft in international waters and force landing in another country.
The plane would not have to go over international waters and/or other countries, but usually do.

If he would be safe in Noway I think the transportation issue is easy solvable. Wonder if the US would feel like they could kidnap him from the streets, and maybe Norway would promise to look the other way. The plane would not have to go over international waters and/or other countries, but usually do.
A chartered flight (light or mid-sized jet) would be around $30k USD.

#26Norway's NIS maintains a friendly relationship with U.S. intelligence.[0] NSA documents leaked by Snowden refer to Norway as a "Tier B" country.[1] The only thing higher is "Tier A"—Five Eyes member nations.

That's unlikely because he would obviously have security (costing a $2-3k USD for decent-sized detail). A chartered flight (light or mid-sized jet) would be around $30k USD.

#30Remember Anders Behring? He was sentenced for 21 years for his terrorist attack in 2011. I find it hard to believe a country that has the most humane prison system in the world would extradite Snowden back the the US...
