They are considered reliable

What do you think is their standings amongst world airlines. I am getting really good prices with them and I am wondering if they will show the same hop-step-and-jump attitude like Aeroflot.

Once when I took Aeroflot from Moscow to India, it made all sorts of unscheduled stops all over india.

Unsheduled stops? What was the reason?
Aeroswift is certainly not more premium airline than Aeroflot. It rarely happens that you get British Airways service for Aeroflot prices

Buffy, Not sure what to make out of it. Was quite sad and unfortunate.

My trip from here to Moscow was quite good. Aeroflot was brand new and the service was quite good and cheap. But the trip to India was pathetic. It was supposed to be a direct flight and that is what I thought. But it had to pick up unscheduled passengers from Kiev and Tashkent.

Lucky for me, I had to be in Moscow for a month and then fly back there again..

I was on economy and my section had this huge staircase going down. Thats where I had to keep my hand bag. It was dark and cold and lo and behold I foung my checked in luggage also there.

Food was cold and horrible. It was crowded and the airhostess behaved like they were flying in a bunch of pigs. Delhi was another story when returning. There were hundreds of Russians with huge packages one on top of the others and the flight was delayed for 6 hours.

That was 1995.

I am getting Aerosvit for a very cheap price but now I am having secodn thought.
Aerosvit is 795.00 RT and the next highest is KLM for 2000.00 +

Thats the dilemna i am facing….

But that was a good site..Eurotrip should do a similar posting site and we could all review all airlines.

Last month, I had a horrible time with British Airways and I wrote it on the Flights forum .

thanks

If you want to pay extra $1200 for warm food and less chance of flight delays, it’s up to you

Yes, I know and thats the dilemna

As of this morning, I see AEROFLOT also offering a deal of about 800.00 which is really really good at this time of the year.

I guess some airlines will starting dumping their tickets…

As far as I reckon, you are going to India? I don’t know your budgets for travelling, but I’m almost sure that you’ll be staying in some cheaper places and eating not in the top-end restaurants – just to minimize the expenditures, as we all here do. And this can easily happen that a hotel in the place you are going too will be a bit far from Western standarts of cleanliness and comfort – but it’s also cheaper! And the difference in comfort between ex-Soviet and Western airlines is less than difference in budget accommodation quality in Asia and Europe. So why save money on accommodation loosing some comfort during your entire travel and pay more for air tickets gaining some comfort for half a day?

Yes, I have to go to Delhi for about 4 days which will be borne by the company.
But if I go directly to India, then all i do is work and return. It is not a vacation for me.
But my wife wants to go too and that is my fee, not borne by the company. But she gets to use the company car, accomodation and everything.

So unless I get something reasonable, it will be too expensive for me.

Money is an issue for me, but I want to do a stopover in a specific vacation place with my other half so we can enjoy ourselves before reaching Delhi. You know Moscow and Kiev are no vacation.

My two routes to consider are thru Europe and then proceed otherwise S africa and proceed.

Aeroflot will only take me to Moscow which is not a vacation as I already travel to Russia quite a bit in the last few years. We have accomodation provided both in Moscow (Aviamotornaya) and Petersburg by Leninsky Prospekt.

Aerosvit will take me to Kiev which I have already seen.

We just returned from a trip taking me to London, Paris, India, China, Lagos, Cameroon and then to Benin and back to London and then back to the US. 2 months and it is horrible. Work work work…It is tough.

This time I want to have a stopover for a vacation.

In any case, my boss agreed that if I want to stay home for Thankgiving and Christmas he is OK.

I have decided not to do that much traveling any more from 2005.

If you are taking off from North America or the EU, the safety standards will be high, by regulation. Developing country airlines are only nightmarish from a safety standpoint when you fly domestic or within developing country routes.
