samsensam Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 flew from the uk to mongolia via moscow with Aeroflot 15 years ago my memories are of unfriendly staff, baggage weight limits strictly enforced and worryingly old aircraft. Moscow airport was like a refugee camp. things might have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJIC Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 No the airport is small,being a passenger in transit is a tiresome experience. cabin service is very close to having your meal slung at you card dealing style,they get you there without incident,although landing in Russia,brings on a spontaneous round of applause, from the russian passengers, i'm not sure if this a signal of glad to be home or alive!

DirtyDan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Mrs. Dirty took them to Moscow (SVO) just a short time ago. Plane between SVO-BKK was older and worn down. The plane from St. Petersburg to Moscow was new and quite nice. Food service was reportedly not very good (and they didn't even attempt to meet her pre-ordered vegetarian meal). The stewardess displayed the same warmth the rest of the Russian culture communicates with - quite a shock when coming from the Land of Smiles going into the Land of Scowls. Alcohol ban on a Russian airline? LOL - you just made my day. All in all - Aeroflot isn't a first choice, but it was worth the price for a direct flight versus the upcharge and layover for the next best priced Emirates.

Well I know some Russians and for me Russian culture seems to be extreme friendly...more friendly than Western Europe and USA. But never fly Aeroflot......State owned and former state owned services are often bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coulson Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The last time I flew with Aeroflot you were allowed to smoke in the back 10 rows. I imagine they have changed a lot since then. Nothing memorable about the service, except the air hostesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Some fellow recently flew Berlin - Moscow - Bangkok. He seemed relaxed about it. No horror stories. As I understood they did not serve alcohol? (I remember him telling me!) Seemingly to avoid drunkyards brawling (which seemed to be a regular occurance in the past). No idea whether its the rule. From the net. BKK to SVO, they fly an Airbus A330-300 (333), seat pitch in economy 30 to 32. Not for the big boys 30 is disgustng even for a medium sized European, One user comment in SeatGuru is less than enthusiatic: Over the summer months these flights are to be avoided. In the back the seat pitch is shocking - it's almost unworkable for the 1.8M plus people. If the seat in front reclines you will need to stand. You will not be able to see the screen with the seat in front reclined. The flights are 100% full -not a single seat vacant and the aisles are just trolley width. It's DVT waiting to happen as there is nowhere to walk at all. Edited June 24, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Alcohol ban on a Russian airline? LOL - you just made my day. Guess you need an update. Wine is offered together with a hot lunch on the following destinations: ... <not Bangkok> The sale of alcoholic beverages on all Aeroflot – Russian Airlines flights was suspended as of August 5, 2013.

mausbiber Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We took the flight 2 years ago from BKK to Berlin. The food was russian-style. Yes, it fill your stomach. Otherwise the biggest problem was the noise from some crying children - I guess you can have this experience in any other plane. But the bord entertainment system offered a lot of music and videos (but not as much as Emirates) and the headphones had sufficient power Talking to the staff was not so easy, only one stewardess had some more skills in English language. For me SVO was a little bit confusing. We had to change the terminals, the signs were not clear. And asking someone from the ground staff for the direction - good luck if you cannot express yourself in Russian. saving 200 Euros on the ticket - at least you have the choice. I would do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Well... Mrs. Dirty sent me a picture of the champagne she had before take-off in BKK. I had no idea they did not offer alcohol to everyone during meal service at least - consider me updated. There were lots of horror stories when Aeroflot when it was solely "state owned", but recent years they've really upped their game to compete in foreign markets. I'll admit they were reported (from the Mrs.) nowhere near the best, but when you can grab a cheap business class seat for little more than the cost of economy on other airlines, it was worth it.

paz Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yes, they serve no alcohol. At least in coach to BKK.. Yes, the service is is kind of rushed and casual. Try asking for water with you meal. No, Moscow airport is not small, you can find yourself walking a long way. Other than that it gets you there and miles are credited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
