SU 263 SVO-LHR aircraft type
First time on Aeroflot soon, and I have the following booked:
Out: SU 2585 LHR-SVO, 11 APR
Rtn: SU 263 SVO-LHR, 21 APR
The outbound was originally listed as an A320 but now has been substituted with an A330. The return is still showing as an A320 but FlightAware shows that it nearly always operates with an A330:

Can anyone who flies this route confirm whether Aeroflot normally substitutes an A330 on this flight?
Thanks!

The route traditionally operates as an A320.
Then in order to compete with BA, SU used a A330 on one of flights for a while. This occasionally makes a comeback. The A330 is of course more comfortable.
BA responded by sending a 4 cabin 747-400, with First Class and Club World service, daily.
Its hit or miss.

I'm sure this is no more but 2-3 years ago I did this on an old 767. I was up front so no problem but it looked a bit aged and I bet the back was not too fun. As new as their stuff is now I'm sure it's new and it's nice.
Fear not.
