The quickest and easiest way to get to Sochi is by plane. Aeroflot is Russia's national carrier and offers direct flights to Sochi, usually with a stop in Moscow. Air France is another major airline that provides direct flights to Sochi, with a stop in Paris. Other options include multiple stops in Europe and a layover in Moscow. The flight from New York to Moscow takes about 10 hours; from Moscow to Sochi, add about 2.5 more hours.
