Aeroflot Airlines intends to double the frequency of flights from Moscow to Lyon in the autumn. Instead of the current once a day, the route will be serviced twice. A late evening flight will be added to the existing morning flight, reports our own correspondent Travel.ru.
From October 28, departures from Moscow (Sheremetyevo Airport) at 9.15 and 19.45, arriving in Lyon at 11.10 and 21.45. Return departures at 12.10 and 22.55, arriving in Moscow at 18.05 and 4.45. The morning flight will be operated by a Boeing 737, the evening flight by a less capacious Airbus A320. At the moment, it is not entirely clear whether the second flight will be retained for the summer period - flights to Lyon are most popular as a way to get to the ski resorts of the French Alps.
Let us recall that from October 28 Aeroflot will begin flights from Moscow on a dozen new routes - to Nalchik, Vladikavkaz, Nazran, Grozny, Makhachkala, Izhevsk, Dublin, Ljubljana, Gothenburg, Colombo and Dubai's second airport. In addition, the company is considering the possibility of starting flights to the Dominican Republic, Mauritius and the Seychelles, as well as to Chengdu in China and resuming flights to Mumbai. Aeroflot will also increase the number of flights to Bangkok and Phuket. Aeroflot also intends to transfer almost all flights from Moscow to the Far East and all flights to Kaliningrad and Simferopol to its subsidiary airline Rossiya.

Let us recall that soon passengers of all Russian airlines may lose the guarantees of free transportation of briefcases, handbags, backpacks, outerwear, as well as baby food, medicine, canes, crutches and other items necessary for medical reasons. This is the draft order of the Ministry of Transport, prepared after the appeal to the ministry by the airline Pobeda, which demanded that passengers be deprived of all these guarantees. If the draft is approved, carriers will be able to limit passengers to only 5 kilograms of hand luggage, and the permissible dimensions of such luggage will be determined by the airlines themselves (Pobeda itself already uses a tiny “calibrator” measuring 36x30x27 centimeters for this, in which it is impossible to place many ordinary small city bags, as well as some mobile electronics - for example, some laptops).
