Intro
Hello from Moscow, as I have recently come back from Siberia on board the Aeroflot A350 in Business Class. While I will have my full initial thoughts hopefully coming tomorrow, and a review in the coming weeks, I wanted to show off the rarely seen flagship cabins on these A350s. I've gotta say: wow, this might be the most beautiful cabin in the world...

For those unaware, back in 2020, Aeroflot began taking delivery of what was supposed to be 22 A350s that would serve numerous international destinations. However, due to certain reasons, Aeroflot only took delivery of 9, and the rest ended up with Turkish Airlines and Air India. While the cabins might be similar to AI and TK, they are lacking one major part: the signature Aeroflot touches...
Business Class features 28 seats situated between doors 1 and 2. As per cutting-edge products, these are laid out in a 1-2-1 configuration with seats alternating between being closer to the window and the aisle.
Those traveling as a pair will look to sit in rows 1,3,5,7, in the center section. At the same time, those traveling solo should seek out the true window seats, which are in rows 2,4,6. This also means that there are only 6 "true window" seats...
Honestly, once inside the seat, it had all of the bells and whistles one could ask for. Whether you are looking for plenty of storage space in the cubby behind, a drawer (similar to the old BA Club World) for your shoes below, or a closet to hang your jacket, there were almost zero flaws to the suite....
Now, I had just one complaint with the seat, and that is how they placed the seat controls. Genuinely, this product is nothing short of exceptional, but when you are sitting upright and working, I accidentally kept clicking the buttons to go into lie-flat with my elbow...
I wish there was a little guard they could add, maybe plastic or something...
Overall, I have to say that this is now my favorite business class cabin in the world. It's not necessarily about the 1-2-1 private suites, but the attention to detail that went into them. The small Aeroflot logos on each door, the beautiful color schemes, the orange and blue lighting throughout, and the staple piece Aeroflot logo at the back of the cabin.
My only complaint was that the flight was only 4 hours long...
Premium Economy
I also had the opportunity to snap a couple of pictures of the premium economy cabin, located right behind door 2. Featuring 3 rows in a 2-4-2 configuration, these seats seemed extremely nice, especially considering Aeroflot isn't selling these as premium economy on domestic routes (Space +).
Final Thoughts
I am really excited to be sharing a look into how surprisingly good the aviation scene is in Russia at the moment during this series, but most of all, I am excited to showcase the Aeroflot A350 Business Class experience. While I will have an initial thoughts post up tomorrow, I wanted to share a look into these drop-dead gorgeous cabins. It's hard for me to be impressed, but Aeroflot blew me out of the water.
