Aeroflot has become customer-oriented?

[Josh Wilson]

Why probably? It's very easy to find pricing for airline tickets online. 

 

Taking a random roundtrip from Moscow to Berlin at the end of this month
shows that Air Ukraine will be your best low-cost option, undercutting
Aeroflot by as much as $100. However, it also has 2-5x the travel time with
a long layover in Kiev (at least wifi is free there). Flying direct would be
2-3 hours, flying non direct is 5-15. 

 

Comparing Aeroflot against other European carriers (like Air Berlin,
Lufthansa, Austrian airlines), Aeroflot is generally the lower cost option
for that particular trip. When I fly to the US, I've usually gone with Delta
or Aeroflot (which are both Skyteam anyway) - so they are generally
competitive on the NY route at least as well. 

 

I would guess that each traveler would need to look at individual travel
plans individually, but generally Aeroflot is competitive for most flights
in and out of Russia, I've found.

Probably Aeroflot prices aren't competitive with the prices of other
airlines flying internationally to Russia, so I wonder if it would really be
worth taking Aeroflot and going for three days without a visa or getting a
visa, staying longer and flying on a cheaper airline.
