Aeroflot
Hi there...
Im flying into BKK November the 23. My aircarrier this timecould be Aeroflot, since i have found a really cheap roundtrip ticket, from Denmark To LOS, at around 770$. My question, does anyone on this board have any dealings with Aeroflot before ?. I mean in my homecountry, they are certainly not ranked among the best Carriers out there, but it would be stupid to not to take such a cheap flight, when i have the chance. Are they worth it, or should i spend 400$ more on a better flight.

The transit time isnt that bad, i think 5 hours...wasnt aware about the transit visa, i have never flown Aeroflot before, usually use SAS,Thai or KLM. I was more concerned about, Safety,history of lost lugage and so on. But of course, would not like to be served a drink but a Stewardess with more hair on the legs than mine

Yup! Went from Athens to Singapore. Worst service and safety I have ever experienced. They were serving a meal with beer (we don't serve no stinking coffee) as we landed in Delhi. If anything had gone wrong the food carts would have been lethal projectiles. Spent 6 hours in Delhi while they made repairs, 4 of those hours on the plane. Spend the money, it's a long flight as it is without adding more hours. Just my 2c worth. Dave

Thx for the response and the good reading about Aeroflot...
I decided for another carrier, and by luck, I got a reservation for the same time period 22Nov-22Dec with SAS, for only 60$ more, what a bargain, its well under 500$, what i usually pay, to fly directly with Thai Air from Copenhagen.

My first trip to Thailand I went with Aeroflot from Copenhagen to Bangkok and it was just like any other airline!!
On the way to Bangkok we had an 2 hour transfer. But on the way home about 4 hours  And Moscow airport isn't that much fun But spending 4 hours on an airport is more fun that to spend 3-400 euro on another carrier U can have a lot of fun for those money!!

I used Aeroflot in the past for my trips to Moscow from Amsterdam. After three time, my secretary know not even to start asking if I want them again. *****y service, lousy planes, etc. I rather choose a non-direct flight then being on the direct flight AMS-MOS.
For my November trip to Phuket I fly Singapore Airlines to Singapore and then Tiger Airways to Phuket. Should be ok. Nanook

Aero-Flop, the only thing that holds these planes together is the rust and happy thoughts. Stay away from them. Everything rattles and makes scary noises; flying can be stressful enough without all the worry of whether the plane will disintegrate in mid air.

Aeroflop haha..... Beat me to it.... A buddy of mine brought a ticket with aeroflot to go to Moscow..... Cant remember where he was flying from....Possiably Denmark but i could be wrong. He said Moscow airport was a sh1thole aeroflot should be banned from flying outside of Russia but he said there was a cute hostess on there which made up for things... You made the right choice.... i would never fly Aeroflot personally.... Stick with Thai or as you chose SAS.... Better choice in my honest opinion

It's been twenty years since I flew with Aeroflot and I still shudder to think of it!! Another exciting outfit was Danair, don't know if they are still around.

They have been gone for over 15years. Bought by BA for £1, they also took on Dan Air's £50m liability  Here's a little about them Causes of Commercial Decline Among the main reasons for the airline's sudden "financial tailspin" and its ultimate demise were a lack of "vertical integration" with a major UK tour operator. (Dan-Air was the last remaining major "independent" provider of charter airline seats to numerous large, medium-sized as well as small tour companies based in the UK and overseas, at a time when most of the UK's large tour firms had already decided to set up their very own in-house airlines, which then aggressively competed with Dan-Air for the bulk of those operators' business leading to a general decline in charter rates.) Another important reason that was said to have contributed to Dan-Air's failure was the fact that its fleet contained too many different, incompatible aircraft types and that some of these planes were considerably older and far less efficient than the latest "state-of-the-art" aircraft operated by some of its competitors, such as fellow Gatwick-based Air Europe. This made the Dan-Air fleet costlier to operate and maintain. The Boeing 727s in particular, some of which Dan-Air continued to acquire from various previous operators right until the beginning of the 1990s (including some that were brought into its fleet on what turned out to be highly unfavourable leases), proved to be a major "financial millstone" around the airline's neck. Furthermore, some industry analysts pointed to the fact that Dan-Air's decision to embark on a major expansion into scheduled services from its Gatwick base at a time when the UK economy was still mired in the early-'90s recession, exacerbated by the after-effects of the first Gulf War, as an important factor that actually made the airline's financial position worse rather than improve it. These analysts also opined that an injection of £49m of additional working capital into Dan-Air's parent company as a result of a successful share issue in 1990 was insufficient to fund the airline's future needs. (The additional funds raised through the issue of new shares were considered to be insufficient to pay for a complete renewal of Dan-Air's fleet which was to be standardised on only two aircraft types, i.e the Boeing 737-300/400 series and the Avro RJ115 [an updated version of the BAe 146-300 that was eventually never built]. These funds were also regarded as insufficient to finance Dan-Air's ambitious transformation from a "cheap-and-cheerful" charter-oriented carrier with a motely collection of a small number of poorly performing, "low visibility" regional scheduled operations, chiefly between secondary airports across the British Isles and Europe's provinces, into a top quality, "high visibility" mainline short-haul scheduled operator, primarily plying "trunk routes" between Britain's and Europe's major airports.) [edit] Closing Chapter Following inconclusive and ultimately abortive discussions with Virgin Atlantic regarding a deal to "save" Dan-Air in return for an investment of ca. £10m, the airline was eventually sold in an "eleventh hour" rescue arrangement to British Airways in 1992 for a nominal £1 and absorbed into that airline's Gatwick operation. Under this arrangement British Airways had agreed to take on its erstwhile competitor's total financial commitments of about £50m (including Dan-Air's debts), only 12 of its most modern Boeing 737s, a similar number of its short-haul scheduled routes from Gatwick and only about one-fifth of its entire 2,000-strong workforce. This "rump" of the former Dan-Air then formed the nucleus of what British Airways had intended to be a "low cost" short-haul feeder operation for its Gatwick-based long-haul scheduled services under the working title "British Airways European Operations at Gatwick" with the ultimate aim of helping to put British Airways' heavily loss-making Gatwick operation on a path to sustained profitability. This goal has so far proved to be elusive.
