Check in for my Aeroflot flight to Moscow was pretty long…
But I did have time to relax in the airport lounge and have a cocktail. I also arranged my new travel accessory – Seat Pak Pro.
You take this out of your carry-on as it has all the things you need for the flight.
This large pocket holds a headset, warm socks, plugs, tissues and vodka-more about that later.
The other side holds things like chapstick, moisturizer, eye drops, ear plugs, blinders, etc.
There is also a padded pocket for a kindle or iPad.
Early boarding was quick and flight crew were friendly.
Comfort Class was nice on this Boeing 777. The seat didn’t go back as much as I hoped but it did have a nice extendable foot rest.
The amenity pack has the essentials.
Toothbrush kits in the bathroom.
There are two main meals but both dinner, usually the second is breakfast on long haul flights, but I don’t mind.
First meal was actually good, the Chilean Sea Bass was cooked perfectly-that was a nice surprise!
After dinner I went to sleep, I didn’t notice what time it was but I think I slept about 5-6 hours. I woke up to meal 2 being served. I didn’t have much of an appetite yet.
The salmon wasn’t as good as the bass but not bad-considering it’s airplane food.
About the vodka…Aeroflot had stopped serving alcohol on its flights a while back because of too many incidents with drunk and belligerent passengers. Now they serve it again but only beer and wine. So not knowing the quality of the wine they serve, I opted to have a back up!
I arrived at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow around 3:30am Los Angeles time and 1:30pm the next day in Russia.
