Aeroflot is the national airline of Russia and has modernized itself in the last 20 years. It now operates all new and modern Airbus and Boeing planes and is a partner with Delta. Barcelona gets all the writeups about Spain, but Madrid is actually a pretty cool city with great museums and really good food. This is a good fare for late Fall and Winter travel.
