And that's the point about Aeroflot and other similar airlines. Poor
maintenance. If the tires are going bad, what else wasn't inspected
and maintained properly.


Aeroflot planes in international routes go through similar maintenance
procedures like other planes of other carries. Punctured tires are common
(when a 300 ton plane touches and brakes on tarmac, that is something for
rubber). In summer 2002 my Finnair flight from Helsinki to Franfurt was
delayed by an hour because one of the tires of the Airbus 320 went flat
earlier that morning.

will
risk flying an airline with a horrendous safety record to save a

few
bucks. jh

You are pathetic.

Aeroflot has very good safety records and IMHO is safer than any US

airline

?????

Have you ever been on an Aeroflot plane? I have. Scared the hell out
of me. Have you ever been to the airport in Moscow? I have. Third


You are pansy.


And you're a racist. And you're proud of it. Remember saying that?
Let's hear more about "Yids" and "Kikes" and "Hebes". And then tell us
what difference that makes as to the accuracy of my statment.

I don't save my words. I let them spread. Everyone avoiding Aeroflot flights
to Asia and selecting another carrier in belief to give a better chance to
survive is both a pansy and a fool (and perhaps a yid as well).


I have once witnessed a prolonged landing in a flight from
Moscow to Helsinki by a Tupolev 154. We had a chance to see nice views

over
the capital region. When we finally touched the runaway there were lots

of
ambulances waiting us. We were never told the reason for this. Perhaps

the
landing gear or some meters didn't work orderly. It happens.


And it happens more on second rate airlines.

It happens to the stock of airborne all over the world to all airlines. A
couple of years ago SAS planes faced several incidents within a short period
of time. Then started joking about SAS and the company sponsoring death.

Yes 2 times. In my country ( Poland ) it is quite popular, because it is
good and chiper. Sheremetyevo is not a very nice place, but Moscow is

OK.
I have never been in Nigeria, but Moscow is similiar to Paris.


Say what????? Moscow similar to Paris??? Not the Moscow I've been to.

I'm not particularly a fan of Paris, but Moscow isn't even in the same

league.

For friend of mine, Paris looked similar to New Delphi ... I don`t find
Paris more interesting than Moscow.

It would always be safer to stay at home, be in your mothers
kitchen. Never do anything she would not do. And travel only
with the safest airlines. Always use a helmet!

Perhaps you have heard about a Norwegian study which suggests a knitted cap
rather than a helmet for motorists. A team of scientists climbed on the top
of a high tower (in the city of Oslo I guess) and first dropped a helmet
which cracked into pieces when hit the ground while the knitted cap remained
unbroken after the same treatment.

Is this an example of Finnish humour?

Kind of like a disease. The scary part is that you're proud of being a
racist.

survive is both a pansy and a fool (and perhaps a yid as well).


Sounds like someone who simply can't afford to fly on a proper airline
and wants to pretend that he enjoys the uncomfortable, old seats and
that flying on a substandard aircraft proves his bravery. The very
definition of a fool.

I notice you ducked out of the question you asked me about Lagos.
Seems like maybe you were trying to sound important and got caught out
again. Just like with the silliness about traveller's checks.

Stick to racist rants. It's the only thing you're truly good at.

Aeroflot is a proper airline for sure. I don't know what motivates you to
keep up this babble. You are all wrong about Aeroflot though. I have
attended flights on their Tupolevs, 777s (10 year old stock maximum) and
wide body Ilyushins. I don't believe assembled seats are from a store house
residing in a junk yard. I believe they are original pieces. It is true that
I found the furnishing of their boeings fairly tight. By far the most
annoying thing on Aeroflot flights only a couple of years ago was the dozens
of chain smokers.

I flew with Aeroflot from Bangkok to Paris(via Moscow) and back from
Stockholm to Bangkok(via Moscow). Despite what everyone says, I had a
great experience with them. I flew Business Class and I have to say the
seat is pretty much like an Economy Class except you get two seats for
yourself(on Bangkok to Russia and Russia to Bangkok route). However the
planes that they use for Europe flights like Moscow to Paris or
Stockholm to Moscow were awesome and the seats for business class were
as geat as other airlines. The cabin crew were actually calling me
precious...they must have thought I was 15 or something(I'm 23 but
comparing to Westerners, us Asians normally look a lot younger) so they
treated me well. And all the flights were smooth indeed. The only
complaint I have is on the way back, I had 8 hours transit time and it
wasn't fun when everyone around you seemed to smoke. But I did find a
place to take a nap for a few hours so it wasn't too bad. But I also had
a great time talking to some shop workers there. They were very helpful.
I bought a bunch of postcards but there's no post office inside so one
lady offered to send them for me. I sent around 5 postcards and she said
that would be like 2 bucks. I didn't have any 2 bucks banknote, I only
had 5 so I wanted to give her all but she refused to take it. She
insisted on giving me the change. Overall I had a nice experience and
I'm definitely gonna use them again if I have quite a lot of time to
spare for those long transit hours.
