Frankly, I'm devastated that Rossiya is taking over all the Aeroflot Far East flights (except VVO which is still run by both) although glad that they're transferring to SVO! (and glad I'm avoiding Rossiya at the end of this month going to Sakhalin!)
I totally agree with the pitch size. The difference on VKO-VVO compared to VVO-SVO was unreal!
Come back!
They have a reasonable network these days particularly for the Far East now.
+1 (albeit MOW!)

Bumping ancient threads is discouraged here for good reason. But theres precious little information floating around about Rossiya Airlines (FV). For example, didnt the FV code belong to Pullkovo Aviation at one point.
On my current visit to Russia, I have noticed that Rossiya operate a number of flights from various Russian airports (Samara, Kazan, Ekaterinburg, Ufa, St. Petersburg) to Pardubice (PED) airport in the Czech Republic. At 100km from Prague, this is like a backdoor airport for that city, and sure enough, Ryanair operate a service from PED to London STN.

Does Rossiya offers complimentary meals on its long-haul flights? I thought that meals are standard service on long haul flights of full-service airlines, but now even some traditional airlines such as UA does not offer meals on a 9+ hours flight!

Canada and Mexico also class as domestic, but beyond those borders UA international flights do come with a meal..

I think Hawaii flights not having a minimum service level is unacceptable. Yet they get away with it, because US airlines have been allow to coagulate into monopolies. I am so glad I don't live there, for many reasons at the moment.
