"laptop backpack was too bulky"

(Vietnam)

Trip Verified | Amsterdam to Hanoi via Moscow. The airline staff weighed my suitcase and backpack and threatened to not be allowed to board for the reason that my laptop backpack was too bulky and my hand suitcase was 1kg more than the allowance, they said that the flight was full. I told him I checked in from Amsterdam and all my hand luggage was fine, what can I do now, can I pay for this. He literally shouted "You have 3 minutes to throw away your stuff now or you stay in Moscow tonight!". I had to throw away some of my clothes, bag of cosmetics, book, notebook, bag of socks from my hand luggage and backpack. Then they finally let me pass, I went on to the plane and waited until everybody has boarded to see the whole plane was at least 20% empty seated? Their staff cannot treat its client this.

"Not a single goodwill action"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Irkutsk to Moscow on SU1443. They re-scheduled a flight 3h30 later than it was supposed to be. Aeroflot tends to forget that people pay to get on a certain schedule, to arrive at a certain time. In my case, I had further connections to take and I reached the gate on time. Delays happen to every companies. However, Aeroflot did not offer to change the booking as such a delay may cause me to miss connections, and with an expiring visa, being trapped din Russia is the last thing I hope at the end of my holiday. No refreshments at the airport provided by Aeroflot, no information about the updated check-in time. Not a single goodwill action. I won't travel by Aeroflot anymore.

"I tried to change the meal"

(Israel)

Trip Verified | Tel Aviv to Moscow. I ordered diabetic meal which was just not edible for me. when I tried to change the meal for the flight back they said its not possible because its 24 hours before the flight. I don't think 24 hours notification is unreasonable for changes about food.

"suitcase was also broken"

(Hong Kong)

Trip Verified | London to Hong Kong via Moscow. Experience on board the plane was fine I was actually pleased with this. But upon arriving to my destination I was told 1 of my suitcases had not arrived and I will receive it the next day, then when my first case arrived one of the bottom wheels had been smashed off.! The next day when my other suitcase had arrived and been delivered to my home address this suitcase was also broken.

"smiling and attentive cabin crew"

(Japan)

Trip Verified | Moscow to Helsinki with Aeroflot. Relatively good flight: waiting for check-in took ~15min, then it was very fast. Flight on time, relatively comfortable seats, legroom decent, smiling and attentive cabin crew. Negative point: the snack served on board was a sandwich with beef, with no other alternatives - airlines should make an effort to at least offer two options (meat / non meat).

"not allowed to change seats"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Ho Chi Minh to Amsterdam via Moscow. We paid 100 euro more to select seats, with this I hoped that I would be able to book the extra leg space, I would not even mind to pay again a bit extra, this was not possible, we called with the airline and asked if they could book them for us. This was not possible, we should do this at the airport 24 hours before check in, we went to the airport to arrange this, this was not possible, we should do this in Moskou. There we had 1.5 hour transfer time. Next day we checked in and we will fix the extra leg space in Moskou, when we arrived in Moskou we had to wait in a line, because of a delay we had 45 minutes transfer time. At the transfer desk we tried to get the extra legspace. During the flight there were many rows with the extra legspace free. I was not allowed to change seats. For the way back we managed it differently, we went again 24 hours before to the airport... no aeroflot desk.. For this flight back we managed it. With good mood at the gate the new hell starts .. 1 hour delay because of cleaning the plane and we had again 1.5 hours to transfer - arrived Moscow 35 mins late. hour long flight in stress because of the staff who can only say you go to transfer desk.

"cancel my booking with a refund"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Amsterdam to Hong Kong via Moscow. 13 days before my departure date, I got a message that my flight was canceled and an alternative flight was offered to me with a departure date which was 1 day earlier than my original flight. Although it was very inconvenient, I agreed on taking the alternative flight. Then 5 days before my flight, I got the message that my alternative flight was full and there was no other option then to cancel my booking with a refund. I was therefore forced to find an alternative flight myself within 5 days. I did manage to find an alternative flight but it cost me way much more than what I originally booked.

"very polite and helpful"

(Poland)

Trip Verified |  Warsaw to Moscow return. Standard in economy class is better than in LH, or LOT. We got a tasty sandwich, apple, and choco wafel. For drink, selection of juices, tea & coffee were served, in Moscow free newspapers and magazines. The aircraft was extremely clean. Flight attendants were very polite and helpful and very well organized however, the aircraft was near full. Ground service in Moscow is organized better than in e.g. CDG, or Lyon. In all airports you have to wait in the lines for passport control, it usually takes about 20 - 30 minutes, but in WAW was 20 also. From the airport is a very comfortable train to the center.

"I strongly recommend Aeroflot"

(France)

Trip Verified | Paris to Phuket via Moscow, economy class, Dec 4th 2019. Frequent Flyer with Aeroflot for nearly 3 years now, all I can say is that I'm fully satisfied with them. Swift priority check-in and security check in Paris via dedicated lanes for Frequent Flyers. Lounge access. Fly Attendants very welcoming, helpful and genuine. Space + seat (front row) and economy seat with good width (18') and pitch (32') - Aeroflot is one of the very few Airlines to still give 18 inches width (most nowadays give 17" or less). Moscow Airport is quite good, the various lounges for Frequent Flyers / business passengers are really excellent. Arrived on time and relaxed to Phuket. Had only once in 3 years a delayed luggage (was delivered 48 hours latter to my door in Paris, free of charge to me). Overall an excellent Airline and I strongly recommend Aeroflot.
