On my return flight, I once again find myself placing my fate in the hands of Russian airline Aeroflot. I survived it once, the chances were slim, but I can't believe I am going to tempt fate again.
The first flight was ok, but on this one, I can safely say (how ironic) that cracksin the hardware were starting to show (literally).
As I sat in my seat and look up, the light and buttons area had 2 strips of foil pressed into, as if trying to seal some breaking crack together. Call me paranoid, and maybe its part of the decor, but no other seat/ area thing had these strips of foil attached to them.
As I was waiting for the toilet, I saw the seats where the air hostesses sit. It had a curtain ring surrounding it, like circular shower curtains/ "changing room" curtains in cramped HK shops. The curtain was hanging off the rack with at least half the rings broken. Moth holes in the fabric?
Then I went into the toilets, and the first thing I saw was a heavily scratched and scarred toilet seat.
These things collectively confirmed to me that the plane is very, very old. But don't hang on too tight to your seats or the arms might just fall off too.
