Have you ever been to the airport in Moscow? I have. Third world. Reminds me of Nigeria. I second what the poster said above. It's amazing that people will risk their lives to save a few dollars. Reminds me of a thread here a couple of years ago where people were recommending PIA because they allowed smoking. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. |

Have you ever been to the airport in Moscow? I have. Third You are pansy. 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. world. Reminds me of Nigeria. Have you ever been to the Lagos International Airport? Sheremtyevo is dull (and cold as it is a big bird cage), however this suggests nothing on robustness of Aeroflot flights. As well, we could say that don't fly KLMs because the Lagos airport is so horrendous a place. I second what the poster said above. It's amazing that people will risk their lives to save a few dollars. It is amazing only for very subjective reasons. Some people see Mary Poppinses and Peter Pans along with pink elephants. Many people have seen angels. This is amazing. Miraculous actually. I never attend AA flights from the US east coast. |

A friend of mine traveled to Russia, and flew Aeroflot on one international and several internal flights. He was part of a group of scientists and business types invited by the government there to observe manufacturing and scientific installations for the purpose of gaining help from the West. As such, they were flown "first class" everywhere. He brought back a collection of pictures of beat up aircraft and balding or damaged tires on the landing gear, and those were the aircraft that he actually flew on. There were also stories of poorly insulated and very uncomfortable passenger cabins. Unless things have improved over the past couple of years, I would avoid that airline if possible. JDoe |

It was supposed to be an answers to the other part of his question about what Moscow airport is like. |

Aeroflot is now an umbrella for dozens if not hundreds of companies. |

"Chris Blunt" wrote in message ... You're correct in saying that people are increasing their risks to save money, but you also need to take into account the actual level of that risk rather than simply compare it. If there's, say, a one in two million chance of being killed on a US airline, compared with a one in a million chance on Aeroflot, then for me either would still be an acceptable level. It is known that Aeroflot as an international carrier has been reliable and it is not prone for fatalities. Domestic fleet is known to be more or less worn down. What amazes me is how people are quite happy to take much higher risks in their everyday lives and then put so much effort into unnecessarily worrying about the airline they're going to fly on. That's right. Traffic in Bankok alone kills half a dozens or so people every day. If we compile a zillion different risk analysis reports and statistical tables on people flying Aeroflot, we could draw a pie of risks during their holiday in which one sector describes air crashes. Even if the pie was 10 meters in diameter, one couldn't see the sector by bare eyes. |

THe flight was nice according to them but Aeroflot misplaced their luggage, it is almost impossible to get any sort of compensation out of them except a measly 50$ or something. They found the bags after one month and delivered them to me. But the flight from India - Moscow - US was much cheaper than other airlines. They got a free upgrade to business class on one leg too. You should stop driving, stop going out of your house, stop living in your house lest it might collapse. That is the most stupid thing I've heard. Do you even know how much less risky it is to fly than to do any of the routine daily activities you do? |

Thanx for the many replies!!!
I see a long discussion has started about Aeroflot's safety record. Well, I'm not too worried about this. As long as the engines and wings are visibly intact, I'm happy. I was more worried about corrupt officials at the airport while in transit. I guess passengers in transit are not hassled by dodgy people wearing uniforms and huge official looking hats?

What's the airport like, your regular airport same as a thousand airports in the world??? Never flown via that part of the world, guess it's the same as South-East Asia and China? Want to avoid any unpleasant bribery/corruption issues while in transit (or did I see too many movies? Kris |

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. -- Jacek |
