Moscow to Sakhalin - fly this airline and you will think flying economy class on another airline is
like first class. The plane was 5 hours late due to mechanical problems, then we stayed onboard for
about an hour on the tarmac, no drinks offered during this time.It was an 8 hour flight and the
temperature on the plane was roasting. Smallest legroom I have ever seen. When reclined the seats in
front crushed my leg, I had to recline my seat the couple of degrees that was available to be able
to have some angle to slide my legs under the seat in front. You would have thought the water was
the price of gold as they were reluctant to give any water out and was only offered half a glass of
water in 8 hours. Toilets like a pig trough and were not cleaned in the 8 hours. Staff unfriendly
not a smile amongst them.
DME -Duchanbe and back. Old Tupolev, nearly no english spoken on board ,
passengers undisciplined, food poor, no alcohol on board which is a good
thing due to the number of potential strong alcohol drinkers onboard.
But plane on schedule and smooth flight.
