Flying for me though gets the win, 1hour in the plane is great and with competition being so fierce for the MOS-LED route, most airlines do a great job of getting you in and out effectively. FWIW, SU is the tops for this route.
It seems Aeroflot and S7 are the major arlines flying between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Since I try to fly with OneWorld or Star Alliance airlnes, I will probably look into S7's LED-DME route. I am a bit surprised with the size of Star Alliance, it has not partnered with a Russian airline
