Aeroflot

Flights to Russia with Aeroflot

The airline operates flights to 93 destinations in 47 countries and is the first Russian Airline to join a worldwide alliance (STAR).

Aeroflot is based at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport and is planning to open its own dedicated terminal, “Sheremetyevo – 3 “ in the early part of 2009. Aeroflot is a truly global airline but it is most useful for flights to the major cities within Russia, including: Adler/Sochi, Anapa, Astrakhan, Barnaul, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Kemerovo, Khabarovsk, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Magadan, Mineralnye Vody, Moscow (Sheremetyevo International Airport), Nizhnevartovsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Perm, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Samara, St. Petersburg, Surgut, Tyumen,Ufa,Vladivostok,Volgograd, Yekaterinburg and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

Aeroflot uses mainly western built aircraft with a fleet composing of 27 Airbuses of various types and 11 Boeing 767’s.The remaining Tupolev and Ilyushin aircraft are used mainly on flights to cities within Russia.

Aeroflot Russian Airlines For flights to Russia.

Aeroflot is usually a very cost effective alternative airline to the state carrier (e.g. BA and Aeroflot both fly from Heathrow to Moscow). For Flights within Russia the position is reversed, where Aeroflot becomes the state carrier and there are often very cost-effective alternative airlines flying on the same routes.

Aeroflot has consistently upgraded both its fleet of aircraft and its on-board service, particularly on its flights from major European cities. As a purely personal preference we don’t like transitting through Moscow’s Sheremetyevo, preferring to use Domodedovo instead or even look for alternative cities with good connections for example, Kaliningrad, with its new hib and spoke flights on KD Avia.
