- No delays, all flights are always on schedule.
- Rossiya carrier's planes are sometimes quite old (airbuses 319/320). Passengers note that sometimes TVs do not work on board, which is very important, as this does not provide comfort during long-haul flights. For example, a flight to Sakhalin lasts nine hours.
- According to reviews of the Rossiya airline, there are also new aircraft in the fleet. For example, airliners flying to Sochi.
- Some reviews mention that aircraft cabins are very shabby. Toilets are dirty and uncomfortable to be in. Some passengers are forced to use uncleaned cabins if, for example, they are flying with small children.

- Meals during the flight are quite poor, some customers complain.
Businessmen using the business class, reviews of the airline "Rossiya" leave not the most positive:
- The premium business class fare gives the passenger the only perk of a wide seat.
- At the request of the passenger, they can give out a pillow and a blanket. On one's ownflight attendants do not offer this. This is extremely strange for business class.
- The TVs don't work. Flight attendant call buttons not working.
- Meals are scarce, no different from economy class meals. Drinks (including spirits) are served in plastic glasses without symbols. Desserts are more than modest in size and quality.

Travel to Thailand
As a carrier in Phuket about the airline "Russia" reviews are varied. As always, tourists write both good and bad, mostly justifying poor service with a low price. Let's dwell on the important points in more detail:
- Online registration is sometimes not possible. For example, when flying from Moscow to Bangkok, it is not available in real time. This is extremely surprising in the 21st century.
- The planes of "Russia" are quite old. Boeings for two hundred or five hundred people. For example, Boeing 747-400.
- Televisions usually do not work on board.
- Sometimes the air conditioners don't work. As customers note, it becomes very stuffy in the cabin. It’s hard for adults to endure this closeness, and small children simply cry, wanting to go out into the fresh air.
- Reviews often mention the professional work of the team. Pilots masterfully fly planes, take off and land perfectly, without causing any discomfort to their passengers. The flight attendants are very polite, friendly and smiling.
- Low fare compared to other carriers. The cost of a flight with the Rossiya air carrier, according to passengers, differs from the cost of a flight with Aeroflot by about two, or even three and a half times.
- Food is poor. Sweets are not given out before takeoff. Of the drinks, only one type of juice is offered, usually orange. This is a very small choice, because a person can be allergic to citrus drinks, and what should he drink then?
- An additional payment of one thousand four hundred rubles is possible for providing a seat at the beginning of the plane, and not at the end. According to Rossiya airline passengers, there is no difference in physical sensations between the flight at the beginning or the tail of the cabin.
- There is almost always a shortage of blankets and pillows on board, there are not enough of them for all customers.
- The seats are uncomfortable. The distance between them is very small, it is difficult for an adult to stretch his legs.
So, the conclusion is one and very simple. Poor service for a low price. If you want quality service, please contactother Russian transport companies ("Aeroflot", "Transaero"), which will offer you a flight at a cost that exceeds the tickets of "Russia" two or three times.
And the most important and interesting thing is that if a passenger wants to leave a claim on the Rossiya website, the system will transfer him to the Aeroflot website. There you can buy a ticket, however, more expensive.

- Take off and landing are excellent thanks to the skill of the pilots. Light turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean is quite natural and accompanies almost every flight.

- Food is extremely scarce. Adults should take extra snacks with them.
