Aeroflot canceled my flight to Russia on November 9th today. They asked me to call the call center to arrange a refund or reschedule. I looked on their site, and there are no flights from Washington starting October 31st at all (I scrolled through to March 2022 and then gave up) – neither direct nor via New York. Does Aeroflot know something or is this usual for them?
P.S. I was just told on the call that Aeroflot has canceled almost all international flights to/from the USA for November and for the following months. Maybe they’ll resume someday, but that’s the situation for now. They offered to refund my money or rebook for October. I chose the refund. I wonder what the reason for the cancellation is?
P.S. Bought Lufthansa + United. Turned out to be one and a half times cheaper. Turns out, Aeroflot stealthily (well, okay, I didn’t notice) adds a $249 fuel surcharge to the ticket price of $415 (I fell for it). The new tickets via Europe cost $459 with no fuel surcharges. Either way, I had one layover.
P.p.s. with a layover in Europe, the airlines did not confirm, now I have two pending refunds. Looks like Europe is not an option. Will look for options via Turkey.
