\"Picture<\/a> Now I ask you: are your luggage hand-delivered at home for free, every time you fly on your favorite airline?<\/p>\n

Ha. Suckers.<\/p>\n

Some people are quick to bash Aeroflot<\/a> for the most insignificant details (you know, like when two drunk flight attendants start beating up a passenger<\/a>…), but they always fail to point out the positive.<\/p>\n

For example, how many companies are so truly dedicated to the well-being of their long-distance flights passengers that they insure all luggage are directly dispatched at home by qualified airport personnel, free of charge<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I tell you, one quickly gets used to this kind of luxury. Leaving the airport at the end of a 20-hour trip, a small carry-on bag thrown nonchalantly over your shoulder… Once you get a taste of that, you will never consider going back to hoisting that oversize piece of luggage through endless kilometers of metro stations, in a public transportation system that was so obviously designed jointly by representatives of the Parisian taxi driver association and the Committee Against Elevators. It only takes a little bit of getting used to that feeling of lightness when you walk away from the airport on your most casual empty-handed stroll…<\/p>\n

Of course, there will always be people ready to whine about the fact that their luggage must stay an extra day in Moscow and that it’s only delivered the following day\/week (depending on how many gallons of vodka the Russian personnel has had by the time they receive the company telex)… <\/p>\n

But if<\/i>, at this point, you are still naive enough to leave your toothbrush or anything else than heavy magazines, clothes and duty-free bottles of Vodka in your checked-in bag, you probably should not be flying Aeroflot anyway.<\/p>\n

Only one small regret this time: I did not receive anything in Narita similar to the Air France survival kit of last month… which is too bad, as I would have loved to conduct a scientific comparison and find out if the Japanese toiletry kit also comes with a full range of quality skin care products<\/a> and a condom wrapped in flower prints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
