TL;DR
Group transfer usually picks up 3.5–5 hours before the flight, costing around $60 per person (confirmed 1-2 days before departure). Luggage up to ~17.5kg is free of extra charge, and airlines hand out snack packs (juice, buns, chocolate) on the flight.
In another case, the hotel was the first stop on the route, so the airport transfer took only 10-12 minutes. Guests were sent straight to lunch and given their room key card right after.
After landing at 10:00 (including passport control and baggage claim), the transfer to the hotel took about 2 hours, arriving at 13:30. Official check-in starts at 15:00, but guests were checked in immediately.
For a 23:55 flight, the transfer picked up from the hotel at 19:00 — almost 5 hours before departure. Transfer cost was $60, announced to everyone about 2 days before the flight.
On the return flight, suitcases weighing 17.5kg and 17kg went through with no overweight fee, and passengers got a chocolate bar on board.
On a night flight, most passengers slept and didn't want food, but before departure they were given a bag with juice, sandwiches, a pastry, and an orange.
Tip: bring your own tea, sugar, and cups — airport waiting-area prices are high, but staff usually pour free hot water. For a 21:00 departure, food was served about an hour after takeoff, then most passengers slept.
The group transfer from the airport to the hotel took about an hour, with the hotel being the 4th stop on the route. Guests were sent to a late breakfast right away (croissants, latte), while the room was only ready by noon; Wi-Fi had to be requested separately.
An Aeroflot flight arrived on time; guests got their all-inclusive wristbands right away at reception and were sent to breakfast while waiting for check-in.
For a 10:00 flight, the transfer picked up from the hotel at 6:30 — 3.5 hours before departure. At the airport, each passenger got a bag with 2 oranges, 2 sweet buns, and 3 plain buns.
