Are you considering flying Aeroflot but you're thinking: "Hmm, is this a good airline company?"
So today I'm going to show you guys what is it like
Aeroflot is the main airline company in Russia
and today I'm on a direct flight New York - Moscow
Departing JFK in New York
There's just one detail: I'm flying business class
One of the advantages of flying business class is that you get to experience the lounges, right?
So Aeroflot doesn't have its own lounge
at terminal one at JFK
But you can use lounges that belong to other airline companies
Today, for example, I'm at the Alitalia lounge
You get an invitation card
and then you just present it at the door
But I don't know if that changes occasionally or from season to season
because right beside is the Air France lounge and both belong to the same mileage company
So, who knows? Let's go for a walk and see what's here
Not many options here, but normally American lounges are like that
You can't compare to the lounges in Asia, for example, Europe or even South America
So I'll take the chance to do some work
Thank you
_ Hello! _ Hello, welcome aboard
Let's see what's here
Hmmm, fancy!
I've never seen this. It's sealed and I can't open. I've been trying for five minutes now
Oh my god, I need some help
Thank you very much
Face cream
Lip balm
Hand cream, toothbrush, toothpaste
And voilà! A broken nail trying to open the bag
Thank you
Okay, so let's see what's for dinner
Everything seems great, especially the dessert
Wow, they have hot chocolate
I rarely find hot chocolate even in business class
Does anyone know of any other airline company that also offers hot chocolate?
Let me know, please
Look at this how cool! That's us, live!
We wish you a pleasant flight
Time to Moscow: 9 hours basically
Thank you
For the main course I chose the beef
It's filet with linguine, broccoli with hazelnuts and a truffle sauce
That was really delicious. Appetizers were my favorite
I think it could have five of those
There was also a salad, a soup
But I skipped directly to the entree
But I'm glad it did because it was actually a lot of food
Quick bathroom tour. Lots of amenities...
Nice and smelling good
Lets see their internet options
This is the cheapest
Five dollars for 15 minutes or 10 megs
This is the one that should last the entire flight, but it only gives you a hundred and fifty megs
Which means, you can't upload a video from here
Actually with any of these options you can't download or upload any large file
Probably can't do Instagram stories either. It won't last
Gotta sleep now. Look at my face, I'm really tired
Flat bed
6 hours later
Good morning
Oh my God! 5:00 PM already in Moscow
And we're almost there
That's why there's no breakfast. It's a light meal
This is the smoked salmon sandwich
Which is actually like a toast
It comes with another one of those small appetizers
Delicious! And a cheesecake
And here is my hot chocolate
They also have chicken noodles
but I don't feel like that for breakfast
and I know it's not breakfast, but still...
How sweet! They gave us chocolate
Ah! And we got a little gift! It's a pack of tea. Love tea!
Already getting dark again
Ladies and gentleman
The aircraft is ready for landing
Whohooo! Here we go again
Moscow is covered with snow, look at that
Ladies and gentlemen, our aircraft has landed at Moscow Sheremetyevo airport terminal D
The local time is 6:35 PM. The time difference between New York and Moscow is 8 hours
The weather in Moscow is good and the temperature is -15° Celsius
Bye! Thank you, thank you! Flight attendants are so nice
Oh my God, we're getting a bus when it's -15° outside
The flight was really good
I actually slept basically the entire flight
And the food was seriously one of the best I've ever had in business class
And I'm not getting paid by Aeroflot, I'm not even working with them. They have no idea
I'm doing this video. It's just my opinion
This flight is so crazy. When you leave it's dark, when you arrive it's dark, but in the next day
I feel like I missed an entire day
This is even funny! I think I've never seen so many wrapped suitcases in the same flight
I'm here in Moscow to work
So I can't show you guys the city
but I have an entire series featuring Moscow and St. Petersburg. Take a look!
So I'll see you guys on the way back to check out if the Aeroflot flight Moscow - New York
is the same thing or if there's any difference
A few days later
Time to go back home, it was a super short trip
So now, let's see how is it to fly Aeroflot business class
Moscow - New York
Lounges here in Moscow are always super busy
So sometimes it's really difficult to find a place to sit down, and you need to share a table with someone
Thank you
Woohoo! Window seat
No, thank you. I still don't speak Russian
_ "That's the menu for our flight" _ "Thank you"
Wow, the menu is totally different. I'm gonna try new things! Yummy!
Oh, no! Seriously?
Return your seat to the upright position
Stow your tray table, open your window blind
Oh, my God! Look at the snow
Glad it was only there!
Wow, look at this huge river totally frozen. So beautiful!
Nine hours until New York City
_ "What is your name?" _ "Renata"
Oh, Renata! Good to see you onboard
What would you like to drink?
I'd like a Sprite, please
_ "A Sprite" _ "Yes"
For lunch I'd like the salmon, please
Ok, Renata! Thank you for your choice
Thank you!
Thank you
Hmm, a black dim sum
Normally people associate dumplings with Chinese food
But Russians has dumplings as well. They're called pelmeni, but I think this is Chinese
Here's your salmon
Thank you
Maybe you want some bread?
Yes, please. This one
This?
Thank you
Risotto, bell pepper and two types of fish
salmon and dorado
Oh, wow!
It's nice! Thank you
And for dessert, ice cream!
Everything so good!
The problem with flying from Europe to the United States
is that there's no night. It's only day for the whole trip. So it's extremely difficult to sleep
But the advantage is to see landscapes you can't see at night
We're flying over the Baltic Sea. It's frozen in several parts
Arriving in Sweden
And here is Norway
So many mountains! It's like the opposite compared to the coast of Sweden
5 hours later
Wow, we're already in Maine!
An hour to New York
I could sleep like an angel! And now they're already serving dinner
Thank you
Chicken stew with nuts and noodles together with cheese, pistachios, and a profiterole
Renata, thank you for flying with us, it's complimentary from our company
Ah, thank you! So nice! Thank you!
More tea!
Your mobile phones and other electronic devices must be turned to a flight mode or switched off
That's Manhattan
Por favor!
Thank you, thank you
Overall, pretty good experience flying Aeroflot
The flight was very smooth
Food was delicious, people very friendly
I'd definitely do it again
If you follow this channel regularly you're probably wondering what was I doing in Russia?
Wasn't I on a road trip to Florida?
Yes! This, my friends, is the real life of a freelance journalist
I work on multiple projects at the same time and this one brought me to Russia, very quickly
I'm now in Orlando, but before showing you around I'm going to edit one more video featuring a Russian city
I haven't showed you yet
Hope you like!
