Aeroflot bargains

Aeroflot is offering some unusual bargains this fall. A check on Travelocity shows that for Oct. 11, a one way flight from JFK to Tashkent, Uzbekistan costs only $416, less than half the price of the next cheapest fare. You can go all the way to Irkutsk in Siberia for just $715 that same day on Aeroflot, almost $2000 cheapest than the next lowest fare.
In both cases there is a transfer at Moscow's Sheremeteyevo, not one of the world's great airports. I haven't flown Aeroflot since the bad old days of the Soviet Union, but at these prices it is tempting, n'est-ce pas?
I just hope fares are equally good next spring, when I hope to visit these regions.
