BRU-SVO-LED, PEK-SVO-BRU. Short haul flights with A320. Lots of legroom, new planes. Long haul flight with new
A330-300, legroom ok, but bad seats who got pretty painful after a while, good IFE with pretty good selection of
movies. General comments : staff is good, but not too enthusiastic. Food average. You have to pay for alcoholic
drinks on long haul flights (alcohol banned on some flights).

Moscow DME to Saint Petersburg. Check in was easy. Friendly, smiling cabin staff who could communicate at a basic
level in English. They passed out candy before takeoff and a mid-flight snack of tea/coffee, apple juice, and some
sort of wafer dessert - distributed newspapers as well. Seating was comfortable with plenty of room.

Seoul-Moscow-Warsaw return. Great fare (just 845USD roundtrip), great food onboard. Some delays, on both legs, but
that didn't bother me much. Good news is that Moscow airport has been renewed, Wi-Fi and clean air (smoking allowed
only in special cabins). They've banned alcohol on board so no more drunk passengers and fights for seats!

I just returned from a tradeshow in the Ukraine. Aeroflot offered the best fare and connections from Nice (via
Moscow), so I took a chance - begrudgingly. Brand-new airbus aircraft, smiling cabin crew, leather seats and
plenty of legroom. The crew came and greeted me to thank me for flying them - a nice touch. The food was good
- even in Economy. Shrimp, smoked salmon, a lovely cod dish - very unexpected.

LED-SVO. During this one hour journey the crew managed to serve newspapers, drinks (with coffee/tea) plus a
nice sandwich. New A320, everything went smoothly. Recommend on this busy route between 2 Russian main
cities.

LHR-Moscow. On arrival asked if possible to have an exit row seat. Was advised of a €45 charge which was then
waived which was a nice start. Aircraft then boarded one hour late, and one hour taxi/waiting to take off which
made it 2 hrs delayed. Cabin crew efficient but poor command of English. Good leg room/comfort with food as
expected on an Economy ticket although alcohol has to be paid for.

Istanbul-Moscow-Tokyo (Narita) Economy. Was not expecting much when I purchased the cheapest one way
ticket I could find. Check-in at Istanbul, despite having a 20 mins wait, was friendly and easy. Flight to Moscow
delayed 30 mins, but the cabin interior was clean and brand new, if a bit spartan (no inflight entertainment). Still,
the seats were comfy and the flight attendants courteous. Moscow-Tokyo leg was great. The seats were
comfortable, flight attendants friendly and everything went smoothly. My only real complaint is that the choices on
the inflight entertainment on this leg were slim, but at least it was there.

Heathrow to Shanghai via Moscow. London-Moscow flight was pleasant on a modern plane with plenty of leg
room and as a short haul flight works well. However from landing in Moscow to reaching Shanghai was awful.
Transit through Moscow is embarrassing - one desk with rude and unpleasant staff. I advise you to run off your
plane if you have a quick connection because I have no doubt that they don't co-ordinate transit passengers and
the plane would leave without you, no effort made to fast-track those with short connections. One desk, one
security machine. The plane from Moscow to Shanghai was late and outdated, with less legroom than the short
haul flight from London, no entertainment and food that was awful. Unfriendly cabin crew. Everything that could go
wrong did go wrong. Yes it is cheap, but there is a reason why it is cheap.

Delhi-Barcelona. I could not check-in online so called up the airlines to find my flight was re-scheduled. My
connecting flight had been rescheduled so that my transit took 24 hrs and they wouldn't provide any sort of
accommodation. Moscow airport contains narrow corridors with duty free shops, food must be paid with Russian
money. There was free Internet but only in a few places with low wifi signal. Plane food was bland and mediocre.
Average service.

Moscow-Delhi Economy. Cabin almost full, helpful and smiling stewardesses despite demanding passengers,
regarding their choice of meals. Missed a glass of wine but no alcohol on this segment.

Paris CDG to Beijing Capital via Moscow Shemereteyevo. All flights were on time with good service on board.
Inflight entertainment includes several films in French and meals were good. We flew A319, 320 and 330, all in
good condition.

Hong-Kong-Moscow and Moscow-Shanghai. I have to say out of all international airlines I've flown, Aeroflot is the
most out of date with their entertainment technology. The seats, while old, were leather and soft and I slept for
the first time on a flight. Hong-Kong to Moscow was 1.5 hrs late due to winter storms. Trip to Shanghai was on
time and the plane almost empty so every passenger could occupy an entire row. The food was average and the
staff do not smile but that's just the culture. I would fly with them again, one of the better airlines in the cheaper
price bracket.

Aeroflot are not a bad airline though I do feel that for the most part it's fleet and it's service offerings are
several years behind those of the competition. I flew Barcelona - Moscow and was swayed by the price. The first
leg was in a fairly new airbus A319 with comfortable seats and a clean interior. The only thing of note was the
general demeanour of the crew, who did nothing to make me feel welcome and were almost hostile in their dealing
with the passengers. The pre-flight safety demonstration was multi-language and clear and I found most of the
crew spoke English with no problem. In flight refreshments offered were a variety of fruit juices only. Alcoholic
drinks are not available, though after almost pleading I did get a diet coke. The meal was among the worst I have
tasted in my many years of flying. The second leg, Moscow-Shanghai, was a real eye opener. The Aeroflot website
shows that this flight is operated using one of its newer A330 aircraft with in seat entertainment, but checking the
entertainment listings I found that they been updated for 4 months. Not important of course but an indication of
the haphazard approach to service. When I actually boarded I found that the flight is actually operated by (and has
always been) by one of the airlines older Boeing 767 aircraft. Aeroflot Boeing 767's are much older than the rest
of their fleet and come with little in the way of comfort or amenities. None of our seats or others around us would
recline more than 2 or 3 cms. Walking up and down it was clear that no seats offered any noticeable ability to
recline. They also had no adjustable headrests. All in all it was a very uncomfortable 11 hour flight. Added to the
discomfort was the fact that there was no personal entertainment offered. The aircraft used the old system of
large screens placed above the seats around every 10 rows. There were movies played - in Russian often with
English subtitles, however the quality of the screens and the placement made it an unpleasant experience. Once
again the refreshments and food were very disappointing. The omelette breakfast was the only edible thing I had, all
other food was very poor. The staff on this second flight were more attentive than those previously. My return
journey was merely a reverse of the outbound - equally as uncomfortable and equally poor food. The only
significant difference was that I had coffee poured over me by one of the cabin crew who gave me a towel to dry
my now soaking trousers but still failed to apologize or help in any other way, and finally they lost my luggage and
once located failed to get it to me for almost a week.

Moscow-Volgograd round trip on new and clean 737 & Airbus 330 planes. Check-in and inflight service was
excellent in spite of our very limited Russian skills. Good inflight meals at no charge. We had switched our
overseas flight from Aeroflot to Delta because of poor Aeroflot reviews (should not have done that). The return
Moscow-JFK Delta flight was 3 hrs late, causing many on the plane to miss connections at JFK, while two Aeroflot
planes left on time and made their connections. SVO terminal was beautifully clean, modern, and bilingual, with
efficient service, in stark contrast to the poor arrival image given by JFK.
