Author Topic: Aeroflot Alternatives?  (Read 16175 times)

Hey folks,

I have in the past defended using Aeroflot, but worsening lateness problems (6 hours for my mother-in-law coming over last month, 5 hours on the return flight yesterday) make me unlikely to use them again.  Any advice on other airlines that have better records, but still fairly low prices?

It is all how you catch them and where you are going.  I think the more direct flights the better off you are.  I have had good results with JFK to Moscow on both Delta and Aeroflot.  For flying within Russia I have had good results on Aeroflot.  For flying to Ukraine I like Austrian Airlines.  Just get a few discount travel agents working for you as well as search the internet.  Travel light and bring alot of reading materials with you in your carry on bag.

Hi Ken,

I thought you lived in Texas. And here I thought you wore a big stetson like mine.

I see. I hear you are outnumbered by Russians down there! Of course there is a female in your home, so you are outnumbered there as well Smiley

Steve,
Even tho we run into Ruskies every where, there is no real Russian community here as in other cities.  I will definately be in the minority in two weeks when the in laws arrive.

The seats are cramped.

And I hear they hire inferior pilots :-)

But you can usually get a good price on them.

Of the main American carriers, Delta has always been my LEAST favorite to fly.

Have you tried some of the european sites for ionline tickets. Sometimes you can get some deals on them. I used to have all of them somewhere...

How do I find some of these foreign sites?  I plan to spend a week in Paris, and go to Kazan.  (Lufthansha is dropping their flight from Kazan to Frankfurter in March!)

About all I can do is try to find something from Paris to Kazan (or probably Moscow and take the train.)

I used to have a bunch of them.

There was one really good site that was kind of like e-bay for flights. The selection was just what they had, but the prices were cheap. I wish I had that one, but I can't seem to find it now...

But here is one I found in my bookmark pages:

.....At least they don't hire puzzies who are so insecure they can't stop boasting like a child about their "belongings". A woman whose time to screw him (among others) was only exceeded by her time to consent marriage to a man whose current euphoria is obviously proportional to his prior desperation. A man with two failed marraiges who brags of his current "success" after being married a month. A man who learned nothing from those experiences and now marries, in record time, a woman known by others to have lied repeatably to his face. How many other men here talk about their wives in lingere, or babble on like fools in an effort to convince the world they have something no one else does? How many? As if you have something special to brag about. Only makes me wonder just who you're tryin to convince. A poor excuse for a man, it's no wonder you had to settle for someone else's reject.

Sure, I'll let it slide...but next time I'm gonna pull your wings off.
