Aeroflot is one of the most underrated airlines out there, in my opinion. A lot of people have the impression that they're not good (for all the wrong reasons), while in reality they have an excellent soft product and a modern fleet. Well, it looks like the long haul fleet of the airline will soon…

That's good, because the economy class has an entertainment system that was taken out of the last century.
I’m very happy about this, they often have premium economy fares from Europe to China for only about 400$ each way. The Y+ food is already better than Air China/China Southern/Eastern business catering, if they add a better seat, will fly very often.
@Brian, I’m not sure when the last time you flew on one of their 777s was, but the IFE hardware is much more modern than on the A330s, and they recently also updated their software - the IFE (at least on the 777s) is now even more responsive than before, has a wider selection, and the UI is vastly improved. That was a nice surprise when I flew SVO-JFK two weeks ago...
As good as the products go, if they don’t release space, not many people in the circle will get to know it.
FYI the catering isn't as elaborate as it was a few years ago, at least ex-Moscow on long haul
Short haul is still above what you get on other carriers with that stage length
I’m not sure if you ever flew on Aeroflot!!!!!
Their 777 and 330 is not the newest but are definitely not dated at all. And before that they fly 767 and Ilyushins which has no entertainment system at all, aside from @Lucky favorite air nozzle in the seat back in front of you.
Ah - good news!
But will the seatbelt buckles have "повышение" on them ("lift")?
@Azamaraal no, ‘повышение’ is not the correct translation of ‘lift’, and also Aeroflot just slaps their logo on there instead of instructions on how to use it
I will never ever use this airline again. They lost my luggage they do not answer e-mails they put different labels on lost luggage.
Guys, you’re insufficiently familiar with Russia :)) Updating interiors so soon means they have some funds to “utilize”!
My issue is not their existing interiors but them flying narrow-bodies short-haul. That makes it a no go between Europe and Asia for me.
@Ron ‘flying narrowbodies short-haul’ ...you mean like all other airlines do, except Aeroflot actually has proper Business Class seats and catering? I don’t get what the problem is, I’d think that would make them better for flying between Europe and Asia...
Flew 8 times with Aeroflot last year during the world cup: 2 international long-haul in J and 6 domestic in Y. Boy was I impressed - excellent leg room, courteous cabin crew, super clean cabins, decent food options (even for a vegetarian), pretty well-organised boarding, and every flight was on time. And the Kandinsky Lounge in Terminal B - one of the best lounge experiences I have had.
What's the entertainment like on Aeoroflot between Europe and Asia ? Screen Tv, Wifi?
