What is the Aeroflot flight from Hurghada like — delays, food, comfort?

A report dated 13 October 2026 described passengers waiting for an Aeroflot flight to Moscow two days earlier: they spent the whole day at their hotel as departure was rescheduled five times. The airline was expected to move them to another hotel late that evening, but the report did not confirm whether this happened.

Aeroflot Hurghada–St. Petersburg flight: 20-minute delay on the runway waiting for takeoff clearance, but arrived ahead of schedule. Food and drinks were good, though the menu gets repetitive. Views of the Red Sea from the window are a highlight.

A charter flight from Hurghada to Kaliningrad in mid-March cost around 5,000 RUB due to low demand at the start of the flight season — the plane was nearly empty.

Aircraft vary — both new and older planes are used depending on passenger load. Water is provided on board, hot water available on request. Takeoff and landing are smooth. Delays mainly happen due to passengers or technical issues. An April Hurghada–Moscow flight went without any delays.

Aeroflot (not Rossiya Airlines) takes about an hour longer but includes meals and in-flight entertainment. Flight SU 423/424 Moscow–Hurghada–Moscow was once delayed 5 hours with no water provided at the airport — only an apology at the end of the flight. Passengers arrived at the hotel at 8:30 PM, just in time for dinner.

Moscow–Hurghada–Moscow flight in June: 30-minute delay outbound, on time returning. Very smooth takeoff and landing — no ear pressure. A passenger 190 cm tall found legroom surprisingly adequate.
