Aeroflot (SU)

Aeroflot (SU/AFL) is a full-service network airline based in Russia, founded in 1923. It operates from its hub at SVO, where much of its connecting network is built.

It is not aligned with one of the three global airline alliances, so connections are usually booked directly on its own network rather than through alliance partners — worth checking if your itinerary would otherwise rely on partner carriers.

As a full-service carrier, its fares generally bundle more into the base ticket than a budget airline, but the exact baggage allowance, seat selection and change rules still depend on the fare type you pick, so confirm the conditions of your specific fare before you pay.

When flying Aeroflot, book under the airline code SU, check the carrier's current baggage, check-in and travel-document rules on its own website, and allow enough time at SVO if you are connecting.
