Business Class on Aeroflot

Since Aeroflot is the largest airline for the world’s biggest country – and Russia’s national airline at that – you might expect Business Class on Aeroflot to be a bit more up-to-date than it is. The service and amenities are modern, to be sure, but the cabins still look like they’re quite old-school. The Business Class cabins look like they would be at home in Business Class on any domestic flight.

Still, despite old-school seat designs, Business Class on Aeroflot is decidedly nicer than flying coach on the Russian airline, and since there is no First Class on any Aeroflot flight the Business Class cabins are as good as you will get. Incidentally, Business Class on Aeroflot (which is called “Premier Class”) was once part of an array of upper class options – the airline got rid of all the other upper classes, however, merging them into one.
