    AEROFLOT RULES!

    I have been perusing the usual travel websites and everytime i get a good deal it's with Aeroflot. I mean, it's encredible... other airlines are like 1,500.00 2,000.00 and then there is aeroflot "650.00$" JEEEZ that's a GREAT deal! and it's non stop! only 13 hour flight! w00t. They don't seem to update their english version of the website very often though, and it's a pain to keep having to guess and scroll dates. Is there any website (english or russian) where i can just look at scheduals for flights ? I know it might be a little early, but im jsut trying to stay ahead of the game

    I prefer Aeroflot because they are cheaper, faster (12-13 hors NONSTOP)from LAX, have great service and decent food. You can get travel prices and info from most travel agents or internet travel sites.

    travelocity student rates on student universe.....not bad but you arent in college so im not sure if its extended to highschool as well. Also, are you checking for the month you are traveling, or for now, because seaonal rates are higher.

    I'm gunna start taking college classes in a few months, i wonder if that counts ?

    And no, im searching for dates from dec 9-15 through dec 23-28th 2004. this isn't the real time i want to go. But they don't have flights schedualed for 2005 yet, so im just getting a feel for what they would be like at this season. The real dates i plan to go from are (with 1 to 2 day leaniancy) is dec 18th - jan 7th. I tried travelocity and that's where i gotthe best rates, but aeroflot only came up once every like 3 or 4 days. Maybe it's just too early in the year, and they havn't schedualed more flights yet ? or i dunno. That's why i want to just find a chart that lists the flights already.

    (sorry i posted in the wrong forum).

    Currently Aeroflot only flys out of LAX one day (Saturday) a week. Probably the same out of San Francisco. In the summer they fly 2-3x a week out of LAX. The Christmas season prices are very high and they start around Dec 1st and don't drop until around the second week of Jan. The summer season is the highest and the price jumps to 2-3x the spring and fall price from June 1st to Sept 1st.

    If you can buy months ahead you can get those great deals. But getting a visa takes time (usually 2-3 months for me) and I always find myself sweating it out as I try to decide if I should buy the ticket before I have a visa in my hand. Those deal tickets are not transferable or refundable so if the visa has the wrong date on it or doesn't get approved in time you lose all the money on the plane ticket. The ticket prices change every week. Last Sept I found a round trip price of $500 for the Xmas season but by Oct it was up to $700. My visa was STILL in process and when I checked Aeroflot Nov 1, it was up to $950. Also there were only 24 seats left on the plane. I bit my lip and bought the ticket even though I still didn't have my letter of invitation to get the visa. I spent the next month on the phone to Russia begging for them to PLEASE send my invitation. It finally arrived 2 weeks before my departure date which meant I had to pay $200 to the Russian Embassy for express processing. I got my visa 7 days before departure. STRESS!!!

    Dogboy, what Russian bureaucrats let you do or not do changes daily (or every few minutes). You can always try. But whatever the outcome don't be surprised and don't expect it to be the same next time.
