Hello everyone,
In January, I will be flying from Washington to Dehli as part of my Grad School work. Whilst the cheapest fare is Turkish (about $1,200), the layovers in Istanbul are ridiculously long.
However, for an extra $100, I can fly Delta to Moscow then connect to Aeroflot's Dehli service, on an IL-96, no less.
The question is, with a total of 13 hours on Aeroflot (6 1/2 each way), is it worth doing just for the sake of flying an IL-96 and being able to say 'I've flown Aeroflot'?
Air France via Paris is actually not much more expensive, but it is a helluva lot less exotic!
The proposed flight plan is:
DCA-JFK Delta MD-88 or CRJ
JFK-SVO Delta 763
SVO-DEL Aeroflot IL96
DEL-SVO Aeroflot 772
SVO-JFK Delta 763
JFK-DCA Delta MD-88 or CRJ
Advice, please!
