This week was the next "Wings of Russia" award, but now we will not write about it, because in it the airline is assessed by a special jury according to him known to him. It is quite another thing - reviews of real passengers, which in the number of 35 thousand pieces gathered service Tutu.ru. It turned out her own award with prefers, curtisankas and a slightly unexpected result.

An important feature of the rating was the impossibility of "wreking": only those who bought a ticket could vote and made a flight on it, and not any bots that are usually present in any online voting. A similar rating was also published a year ago, following the results of 2016, so it's interesting to compare the laureates in the dynamics.

The analysis was attended by the 15 largest airlines of Russia, from the rating were excluded Azur Air and Royal Flight - they were counted by charter - as well as the "globe", because de facto is S7.

Last year, the highest assessments were honored by the Airline "Russia", "Aeroflot", S7 Airlines, Yamal and Nordwind Airlines. In the new rating, the championship belongs to Aeroflot (9.11 points out of 10 possible), which has shifted "Russia" to the second position (9.04 points). Also in the three leaders includes S7 Airlines (8.87 points). The fourth place is still at one representative of the Aeroflot group of companies - "Aurora" (8.83 points), the fifth - at the "Yamal" (8.71 points).

Passenger reviews, however, very specific. Thus, "Aeroflot" love for "excellent service" and "comfortable flights" and "" - these are common words, more useful criteria are delicious food on long flights, gifts for children and road kits. The natter criticizes most often for the delay of flights (does not know about it, but you will not spend passengers, the passenger cancellation will still consider a delay, although it is not formally) and nonsense sandwiches.

The rest look at yourself. We liked "New aircraft" Utair (in fact, the basis of the airline fleet is the Boeing 737-500 of the midst of the nineties) and all companies have the skill of pilots and. Surprising and the "Victory" rating: Below are only VIM air. Low prices, new aircraft and lack of delays do not outweigh the blocked backs and the random distribution of places in the cabin, as well as restrictions of hand-made dimensions. But at the same time, the planes fly by bit.
