Thanks everybody. Won't be leaving until around Sept 14. Now I'm waiting for my free Aeroflot ticket. Seems even though my frequent flier card with them has more than enough points, they don't give out the ticket until the week before I want to leave. If they can sell all the seats then no ticket for me! Don't you just love Russian customer service :ranting:

Aeroflot is the only airline that flies direct to Moscow from Los Angeles. So my choices are Aeroflot 12 hours or any other airline 20+ hours plus lots of fun layovers. Life is full of hard choices...........

Yes, that does make it tough. Perhaps if the other airlines were 48 hours of travel with 6 layovers then the Aeroflot option might look good.

Why not just fly LA to Atlanta or New York (2.5 or 3.5 hours) then hop Delta to Moscow, which is a 10 hour flight with the only layover in Atlanta.
