Is it as bad as I have heard? I could make it cheap to Japan from my country by using Aeroflot, way cheaper compared to Finnair or KLM which are both quite pricey.

Roll the dice, sip a vodka and let fate decide your journey.

They're much better than they used to be. They haven't crashed in months.
They now require any onboard chickens to be caged.

Probably the owners should be caged as well. Originally Posted by twelvedown

I remember a story a while back of an Aeroflot pilot who let his son of some sit at the controls. Shortly after which the son accidently slammed 80 screaming people into a mountain.
Better than the SilkAir one in the 90's though where the captain was apparently having a tiff with the First.Officer (who happened to be his male lover) and DELIBERATELY plunged the plane into the ground. (killing all 100+ on board)

Yes, and I believe you can now board the planes via the traditional stairs at side doors rather than walking up the rear cargo ramp - airborne troups style - as before... Originally Posted by twelvedown

If Aeroflot doesn't pan out, I'd give this company a try....

And the flights from Japan tend to leave on schedule as immigration are there seeing off the Russian bar girls...
For I am nothing, if not critical.

Vodka and blini (whatever that is). Can't go wrong...

I think Russian gangsta rappers wear a lot of blini. Originally Posted by HarryHurry

I hate to post a serious reply, but, I flew with Aeroflot from Frankfurt to NRT and return and I cannot say enough good things about them!
Service was amazing.
I had a very, very tight connection in Moscow (under an hour) and the plane was slightly late landing. This is in mid January. It was -20C in Moscow. They brought a car out to the plane and drove me to my Japan flight. I was not flying business class... I had the cheapest ticket possible!
My only complaint would be that the flight attendants speak very little other than Russian.

The last time I flew them there was a guy wandering up and down the aisle with an accordion. His wife was following with a tin cup. She had a black eye...
The woman beside me had a piglet in her bag. She said "You pretty boy..you no tell person or you no be pretty no more"

Just make sure to bring some spare clothes in your carry-on. Luggage tends to get delayed, especially if you've to change planes.
The prices, service etc are really good though.www.apastoronascooterinjapan.com
