While Aeroflot is generally safe, that route is served by Tupolev aircraft.... In any case, trains a great to St. Pete. You can take a painless 4 hour express or a nice overnight first class - an experience and saves on hotels that are expensive down there. Last time I took the Grand Express and that was just great. Check out the compartments on that one !
