S7 Siberia Airlines

I often use S7 for short hops between Kiev and Moscow. They manage to serve hot dinner on such a short flight. Their planes are new and in good condition. Online purchase and check-in as well as in-town check-in in Moscow work fine. Good choice and good value for money. The only minus is that they are always 30-40 minutes behind schedule.

DME-LED-DME DME-UUD-DME. The company has the newest fleet in Russia. The crew are helpful. S7 also has the best web-site of all air companies in Russia. Buying tickets through the web & on-line check-in are great. Self-registration kiosks in the airports easy to use. Food on board is good. S7's hub is Domodedovo which is another advantage.

Domododevo-UFA economy class. A319 clean plenty of leg room cabin crew excellent and attentive hot meal provided. Web ticket sales and check in works like a charm as does their bag drop off service.

Flights are usually on Airbus aircraft which is good news for domestic flights. Have flown DME-FRA DME-LED-DME DME-KZN all in Economy and some really cheap prices. The food is good and better than Aeroflot. Kiosk check-in at DME is great as is web check-in. Service from staff onboard and in the terminal is good.

Domedovo-Chelyabinsk return. First time with S7. All fights on time on all legs. Very smart aircraft clean and comfortable. Lots of leg room in economy. Courteous staff though not much English. Food excellent.

Seating tight but expected on a low cost carrier. Departures and arrivals on time and in the case of the return to Moscow we got in a bit early. Luggage arrived on both legs. All in all a good experience.
