Aeroflot

Flying to Russia ? why not try Aeroflot ?

Aeroflot is the grandfather of Russian Aviation. It is the National carrier, the largest airline in the Russian Federation and whilst it is no longer wholly owned by the state, it is without doubt the most powerful airline in the country, politically, commercially and geographically.

Based at Moscow's thriving hub airport, Sheremetyevo International, Aeroflot is an amazing mix of old Russian long term-ism and new Russian entrepreneurship. Passengers will either delight in the old fashioned charm and cabin service or despair at the in flight extra's which are provided free when compared to a low cot European carrier such as easyjet.

Aeroflot was once the world's largest airline and despite many changes in shape, structure and regional airline structures it is still a giant. With a fleet of 100 aircraft serving nearly 50 countries worldwide and 100+ destinations, Aeroflot not only serves its growing home market but is also a perfect choice for passengers who use their home base in Sheremetyevo as a hub to get from West to East.

Explore Russia with Aeroflot.

At Alternative Airlines, we are always looking for ways to get our passengers to new destinations and finding new ways to get them to established destinations. Aeroflot's massive reach and frequent flights to most destinations make Aeroflot a good choice from both of these criteria. From cities across the vast Russian Federation to destinations like Tehran, Seoul, Hanoi, Bangkok and Phuket using Aeroflot's Moscow hub, Aeroflot provides a professional and cost effective alternative choice of airline for passengers in the know.

Aeroflot is the perfect choice of airline for all those visiting Russia. Either as a first timer enjoying the unique sights of cosmopolitan Moscow and the legendary cultural delights of St Petersburg, or as a traveller to exotic regional cities such as Perm or Novo-Sibersk, Aeroflot is the airline with most flights, best connections and usually the most competitive prices.

Moscow is the national capital and oozes charm.. but with a difference! From some of the most luxurious hotels in the world to the most recognisable tourist sites (Red Square must be on everyone's "see before you die" list) to the gloriously solid and concrete Soviet era apartment buildings, Moscow is dazzling in its diversity and scope. For example stop and marvel at the underground metro stations in the city centre. Finely detailed but huge, they reflect an era of confidence and public spending on a scale not seen in the west.

St Petersburg, Russia's second city and easier on the eye for discerning tourists, is connected to moscow by a short one hour twenty minute Aeroflot flight. A two city visit gives you the chance to compare these two great cities and enjoy the Yin and Yang which characterises the Russian character. Beware St Petersburg is a Northern city, situated at almost 60 degrees north (on a par with Northern Alsaka) so from December to March expect snow in varying depths as during those months there are on average 123 days with snow cover.

Of course, for more intrepid travellers there are many more exciting places to visit within reach of Aeroflot flights. Fishing enthusiasts rave about Murmansk in the far North; Naturalists visiting Kamkatcha will see sights they only dream of in less remote locations; and Vladivostock is the end of the line for Railway enthusiasts travelling the length of the world famous Siberian railway.

As well as its domestic network of flights, Aeroflot also flies to a number of significant destinations worldwide. Destinations in the Far East such as Seoul in South Korea, Hanoi in Vietnam and Bangkok have easy connecting services over Moscow with most of Aeroflot's European city services. Particularly good value is the indirect service from London Heathrow to Tehran via Moscow where Aeroflot's competitive fares make this exotic city attainable for both tourists and family visiting passengers alike.

Aeroflot is a truly affordable option with all the advantages offered by a large international airline plus the extra standards of service and connectivity enjoyed by being a member of the prestigious SkyTeam alliance.
