Favorite airlines of people to visit Crimea are Aeroflot and Ural Airlines. They are appreciated for their comfort and safety, the cost will vary from 9 to 13 thousand rubles for a one-way ticket from Moscow. Good service, fresh food and pleasant drinks on board.

According to people, for a flight to Sochi, use the services of S7 or the services of the Rossiya company. The cost of tickets is sparing, which attracts people who fly to Sochi on vacation. Friendly staff on board, food of average taste, but new planes, which are comfortable, attract people.

People are inclined towards Aeroflot and UTair. UTair offers low ticket prices, which will cost even less than Aeroflot. Chosen because of the new aircraft that are updated every 5-7 years.

Also, S7 is a convenient airline for flying around Russia. Low ticket prices attract people, which increases the number of passengers by 10-20% every year.

Worst airlines in Russia

Although the company tops the list of the best, it also made it to the top of the worst, as it unexpectedly increased the prices of flights, which confused people and undermined their opinion about the airline. There are no complaints about the convenience and safety.

1. S7 airlines

The company is appreciated for its comfort, but often people began to complain about flight delays, poor service on board and excessive prices, because now even a flight to a neighboring city can be expensive.

1. Russia

The company also made it to the list of both the best and the worst, which leads to a mixed opinion. It is better to use the airline if you want to fly in Russia, it is not suitable for long flights due to inconvenient cabins.

1. UTair

The airline is prized for its inexpensive ticket prices, but people are often unhappy with flight delays, the quality of the food on the plane, and the uncomfortable cabin.

1. Yakutia

The airline received 2 stars by all standards, but every year it tries to improve and become better in order to be in great demand. Compared to 2016, the number of flight delays has decreased, and the staff has become more trained.

People's opinion about the company is divided into good and bad. Some do not tolerate it and don’t use the services in principle, therefore they often overpay in other companies. Other people are satisfied and ready to use the services of the Ural lines. Cons: flight delays, as well as incomplete security.

1. Yamal

Frequent flight delays, inconvenient cabins, an almost complete lack of on-board service, inflated prices for flights - all this puts this airline on the first line of an unpleasant rating.

From the whole article comes the conclusion that the best airline is Aeroflot, which has proven itself in many ways. Over a long career, more than 20 million flights have been flown, because the first flight was made back in 1923. But each person has their own preferences, and for someone the worst will be the best.
