Moscow To New York (They Gave Up)
This pilot made it a third of the way before deciding to turn around after four hours.
Aeroflot Moscow/NY turned around, diverted back to Moscow - @Flightradar24 is a fascinating app right now

Moscow To Madrid
This is the ridiculous route an Aeroflot flight from Moscow to Madrid now has to take. Once the German ban comes into force it will be even worse. And that's an A321, spare parts for which can't be exported to Russia. I wouldn't want to fly on it. pic.twitter.com/s5ttjFvWYk
