Aeroflot has announced the Sleep+ service: by paying 21.5 or 32.5 thousand rubles, a passenger can buy out a whole row of seats in order to be able to lie down during a long flight. It only works on one route for now: Moscow — Varadero, which is operated by Rossiya (part of the Aeroflot group).
A block of three seats by the window or a central block of four seats is available for purchase, hence the different prices. The Sleep+ service is only available at the check-in stage at the airport.
Not everyone can use the new service. For example, it is not available to passengers with air tickets with unconfirmed reservations, passengers who have ordered a service for the carriage of baggage in the cabin on a passenger seat, or, for example, passengers who have paid for an extra seat in the cabin for personal comfort.
As a reminder, Aeroflot opened ticket sales to Varadero at the end of May. Flights are operated on Boeing 777 wide-body airliners. Currently, there are two flights per week, on Thursdays and Saturdays, and a third weekly flight is scheduled to be introduced on Tuesdays from September 5.
