Ohhh, I'd love to see a travel report from Hitoshi about his experience on an
Aeroflot flight... ^_^

If you think no-frills american airlines are basic, you haven't seen Aeroflot.
The stewardesses usually sit in the galley area in the sink when they are not
busy... ^_^;

Anime fans from England used to fly to Japan super-cheap with Aeroflot, and
the (horror) stories were always really funny.
