This video shows Tim Peake and the crew leaving Star City near Moscow, Russia, for Baikonur, Kazakhstan, their last stop before launch. The event involves a traditional breakfast and a farewell to the family who will join the astronauts later in Baikonur but will not be allowed to get close to the astronauts as they will be in quarantine. The flight to Baikonur lasts around four hours.
