Departed Spain 22C arrived in Moscow -17C

The flight was 90 minutes late to depart dues to flight operations in Europe. Flew with Siberian Airlines S7. A breathe of fresh air after flying with Ryan Air some many times. We got a meal and given drinks all free and the crew were friendly. The flight was about 4 hours and 30 minutes. Another delay at the Moscow airport had to wait 30 minutes for buses to pick us up. What a shock to the system going from the warm plane to -17C. Did not need to fill out any immigration cards handed them my passport they scanned it and the visa out came a piece of paper which I had to sign and keep one half of it. Maybe the world can learn from this system. Got a taxi to our hotel 52 km away all the roads were 6 lanes wide cars weaving left and right with and without indicating. Arrived at the hotel before midnight and had to wait and hour to get checked in a lot of people checking in and the hotel check in system is slow. Staying in the Vega Hotel about 7 km from Revolution Square. The  room is comfortable great water pressure and the staff are friendly.
