Emirates vs Aeroflot (via Dubai): which airline is better for flying to Seychelles?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 18 days ago
TL;DR
Most travelers prefer Emirates for economy class comfort and food, though alcohol comes in mini bottles (refills available on request); Aeroflot and its A380 get criticized for cramped economy seating and outdated in-flight entertainment.
What the community said
On the A380, economy seating on the lower deck is very cramped, like a minibus. Access to the upper deck (more spacious) costs an extra ~5800 RUB per seat per flight, and isn't always available depending on aircraft configuration.

Aeroflot's in-flight entertainment library is currently weak: no new foreign films, mostly content pulled from streaming services.

On a full A380 (about 550 passengers) with the minimum required cabin crew, expect long queues, dirty restrooms, and very slow meal service (applies across all flight segments).

The meal voucher at Dubai Airport (DXB) isn't very useful — realistically you can only use it at Starbucks or Burger King.

Economy class passengers on Emirates are generally very satisfied: seat size, service, and food are all noticeably better compared to Russian airlines.

On Emirates, alcohol is served in small mini bottles rather than poured freely, but you can request refills throughout the entire flight — worth asking for.
