Good afternoon. I'm the flight attendant on this flight. Thank you for flying with us and for your feedback)

[@noelphilips]

Thank you! Was a pleasure to fly with you, and Rossiya!

Wow, Rossiya's Business Class is so much nicer than the other European Airlines short haul premium products (well I guess Turkish Airlines is comparable). I'm really glad to see more Russian airlines getting reviewed on KZbin! I love that Rossiya still has 747s too.

[@nycflyertravel]

@@FilipWinter Oh wow I didn't realize that they flew the A350 between LHR & HEL. I just flew Finnair's A320 on this route and it was the typical inter-European configuration.

[@zlo333]

when i was growing up in ussr, used to read about terrible english weather, here u r leaving major russian city covered in snow, and ariving to london where everything is green,

[@jasonmymail]

Flew this exact same route last year. You were lucky to get the generous and roomy 2x2 seats. On the same A319 I had 3x2 config ,with middle seat empty - ala euro-biz style. Nonetheless service was faultless. Food meh, but stewardess worked tirelessly on this short flight, my glass was never empty of Russian vino and crew super friendly :) Sat next to some Rossiya trainee pilots who were excellent company! Given the price would defo fly Rossiya again. Nice review, thanks.

@kuku kuka vegetarians eat meat still. What are you trying to say?

@kuku kuka shut up

[@pavelborisov9044]

Alright mate, sorry you did't quite enjoy your Russia trip. but just to respond to a few remarks from the series: 1) They've allowed mobile boarding passes the other week, that's settled; 2) Izhevsk is not Siberia. To put it really easy, Siberia is east of the Urals all the way to the Baikal Lake. You were a few hundred km west of Urals, so that's still European Russia; 3) Rossiya is only government-owned depending on the definition. The state controls the majority stake at Aeroflot Group, but it's also listed at several exchanges, not sure how much of it is there though; Other than that, thanks for the content! Always interesting to see how your own country is seen by foreigners.

[@davidellis4031]

"Chicken or beef?" - Got fish, again!

[@keyalpha1]

Happened to me on Finnair. Beef or chicken? Got fish. Which was marvellous, so no complaints.

[@salamatgarba2736]

Great I love the fact that you give the roaring sound of the engines👍🏽

[@buzzukfiftythree]

Great video, thanks. We live under the flightpath into Gatwick and Rossiya seem to be the only airline that haven't yet modified their A319s and A320s to remove the whining noise.

[@madebymawhinney]

Huge improvement in video quality since your longest routes video (I got about as far as Germany in that video - I *could not* watch any further.) Props on making some fantastically positive changes. Helps also that you're recent videos (like this) are of some particularly interesting or niche carriers. You've earned a sub 👏

[@glennkennedy441]

I'm now addicted to your videos....keep em comin' !

[@jgilds7947]

That looked a very chilled and enjoyable flight...top video as always 👍🏻

[@conniepayne591]

It was nice of the male flight attendant to help the woman on with her coat at the departure of the plane. It looked like a nicer time than others you have had. Thank you for the video and enjoy your travels.

[@bum00789]

Absolutely love these reviews keep them coming man!

[@skiparkcityut]

Looks way nicer than most European airlines business class seats. Meals looked very nice for 3 hour flight

[@bushyconn]

Without a doubt, the best sound mixing of 2020 and probably 2019 (I can't remember that far back). Take a bow. Your direction overshadowed the flight itself - cannot remember much of the flight - so It must have been good!

[@matthewtrueland6611]

You know i like/love your reviews and tweets..one thing i really noticed on this review though is... you have a great relaxing voice, but the background music really took over. That said i loved the fridge shot and as always, a great review. CHEERS :)

[@darkstarnh]

Great video, although I didn't realise that St Petersburg airport was built on a slope! ;) EDIT: Hey, so is Gatwick!

[@eddihaskell]

I flew Aeroflot business class from Moscow to St. Petersburg (Russia not Florida) and it was the best business class I ever flew. Excellent service and comfortable seats.

[@aviationforever441]

Wow! I live in St Petersburg. I often go for spotting to Pulkovo Airport. I flew by Rossiya business class, too!

[@jdjddjdjj]

This was a really great video as you can see the effort you have put in

[@noelphilips]

Thanks so much Thomas :)

[@dennislauer2525]

Rossiya Airline is a cool airline👍

[@111-c7x2t]

[@AvgeekCarGeek]

What a brilliant video Review such a lucky person traveling so often loved it

[@bradleythomas27]

Pulkovo use to fly the TU154M into Gatwick back in the early 2000s on this same route, i use to check-in and board this back then with Servisair and they were South terminal based then too.

[@tsr207]

Another excellent production ! you show airlines that we don't really know enough about - a valuable service !

[@davidlazarus67]

The food looks very nice, seat looks better than most European airlines and at a good price. What is not to like?

[@semsemeini7905]

Wow 205 pounds in Business? To Rome it's about $1,000 US in Business instead of $375. Big difference.

[@androsrc5738]

Merci pour cette excellente vidéo, bonne continuation à vous. 🤝👍👍👍

[@Jules-qf2pe]

Quite a few european airlines could learn something from the polite behaviour of those flight attendants! 13:11 !

[@carlcram1717]

A perfect place to say that how sincere condolences go out to all the people who lost their lives in the Boeing 737 max! Bad day in aviation

[@ErmakDimon]

Hi, first of all thanks for a great review! St Petersburg is my hometown and I'm really glad more and more foreigners get to visit it. I also really enjoy flying with Rossiya. I've flown with them in business class as well, last in 2017, and glad to say that it seems they refurbished their cabins and made them even better.

[@signorpippistrello]

Had a domestic flight with Rossiya in 2008 on a Tu-154. One dumpsterfire of a flight. I‘m surprised they developed that far! Well now it’s probably back to Tupolevs and Ilyushins…..

[@camotech1314]

More like banned from flying anywhere outside Russia.

[@BenM14-ZW11]

Chicken or Beef are the options, but you get fish. Makes total sense if you think about it haha. Thumbs up as always Noel

[@gillianboden6735]

I really love this channel I'm mad about flying, I can't seen to find any reviews on etihad, I flew with them to Nepal and found them fantastic, live to know your thoughts

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

Nice review. I like your style a lot, in my opinion there are far too many “flight reviewers” (I use that term loosely) on here who would have cried blue murder if they didn’t get a bread roll. Yes the meal service could have been better, but overall it wasn’t bad and you don’t just focus on the negatives like a lot of the self-entitled so and sos on here!

[@Avantime]

I haven't seen you do a full flight video for a while now, although I don't mind seeing more vlog reviews.

[@acelmoni2833]

Nice video!! Greetings from Mia!!!

[@dknights22]

so what do you think about the two recent boing crashes - as a nervous flyer, I watch your videos to give me confidence to fly - but you could have been on one of these two flights! ?

[@MikeySeedot]

13:54 100% agree, even Security at Gatwick is top notch compared to Manchester Terminal 1. Hope they'll improve when the expanded T2 opens :)

[@nickclarke8334]

Birmingham Airport is also not that great! Going through security is mostly sluggish 🐌

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

Manchester is my local airport and it doesn’t get much right apart from the fact that they manage to depart and land planes there. Not a fan!

[@thepanamahat]

Noel, did you ever do an Uzbekistan Airlines flight ?

[@55jhjhjkjk]

hi Noel, what music was playing around 04:00 (de-icing)....i had such a cool vibe ?

[@Delta191]

That was pretty impressive. Aeroflot should feel lucky to be associated with them. Was that the flight you enjoyed the most overall from you Russian adventure.

[@shaunpierce4174]

I would kill to go to Russia but I begrudge paying well over £100 for the visa. As for the passport control at Gatwick, it's the perfect system, usually through in a couple of minutes at the most.

[@fishharvester9434]

Noel where do you find your bumper music as we call it in the states..

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Impressive cabin Noel

[@Parlophonic]

An interesting video, but please do not let the background music dominate next time; your voice fought to be heard!

[@Sguness69]

Looks good !

[@tally1604]

This is an international flight. It doesn't matter that it's short haul, business class is configured differently than domestic business would. For comparisons, look at cross Atlantic business on European carriers. Intra-european is really a domestic market now.

[@VK-ld1dv]

I flew domestic on Rossiya. Same business class set up, same food and drink options. The flight was only 3 hrs long, which felt too short given the excellent service. Much better than intra-european business class on Iberia/Tap/Lufthansa/Finnair, etc. They just put you in an economy seat with the middle seat blocked.

[@halloyt6171]

I from ST petersburg i love flight witch rossiya

[@tjittekamminga5170]

nice cabin and service I think!

[@jamessheehy2752]

Becoming a big fan

[@keyalpha1]

So around 250 €? Good price for such a good flight. On Finnair for that price all I get is a knee in the groin.

[@111-c7x2t]

50 Euros now, will be even cheaper as Russia falls more into the dump

[@sirmium12]

Hey Noel, are you still in Russia?have u flown on any of the Tupolev ones?

[@thomaspawley8834]

What I know is Business Class on Russian Airlines there are 2 seats per row as on e.g.g Lufthansa have 3 normal seats in Business

[@jaquelinemartin8683]

Love that music Who is it Noel please 💜

[@camotech1314]

Every Airbus seems to have that engine buzz. It gets pretty loud.😮

[@roberthamilton1301]

[@danyashka132]

[@dave1001]

red and white aircarft livery but blue seat - are they Aeroflots?

[@Sllottery2010]

Aeroflot is the owner of Rossiya. May be they gave them this aircraft. P.S. He said about this situation in 3:25

[@dave1001]

Yeah i heard that and i knew Rossiya had been merged into Aeroflot along with other regional state owned airlines to make them more stable (not so long ago Aeroflot was forced by the the government to spin off it's regional airlines). Just looks a bit odd having blue seats that's all

[@jamescorbett3611]

The service is very good on this airline and I hope if there is a vaccine that things will return to how it was

[@semsemeini7905]

Shucks I wish you had done economy. I am flying LED to Rome. 3 hours 45 minutes.

[@mrsj2196]

Jeez, how long have you been in Russia? Please advise your next trip.

[@rasmuslindholm5719]

Ah, waching this while flying xplane, doesn't get better...

[@ryoss110]

Can you review Pobeda next?

[@noelphilips]

You know I originally was booked on Pobeda from LED-STN and it cost like £25. But then Rossiya had a sale on and I was able to get business class which I figured would be a nicer one to review :)

[@Ax-nt7wd]

Will you upload Heathrow to Istanbul. Istanbul to keiv and the Chernobyl flights to your website

[@paranormalkansas5768]

Why does Aeroflot still use the hammer and sickle in the logo

[@MasaGuitar98]

Jakeb M why not? It has been their logo for 95 years.

[@Volkaer]

Mate I am beginning to wonder what you're trying to tell the crew since you keep constantly getting fish instead of literally everything else. Including when fish isn't even on the menu XD

[@VK-ld1dv]

European carriers need to learn from Rossiya/Aeroflot/Turkish/American carriers - an economy seat with a blocked middle seat is still economy, not business

[@mirrormirroronthewall1905]

Not bad for second hand planes
