Comfort
According to its characteristics, Aeroflot offers a comfort class somewhere in the middle between economy and business class. It is not available on all aircraft, but only on Boeings, for example, on the Boeing 777. The cargo compartment in such Boeings is quite large, which makes it possible to double the baggage allowance for comfort class passengers (two pieces of 23 kg each). Hand luggage - 10 kg. Check-in for a flight for Aeroflot comfort class passengers is carried out at the same counters at the airport as for economy class passengers. Business lounge access is not available.
