How do I know how long was Aeroflot flight delayed?

1. Have a Lexority attorney to tell you how long the Aeroflot flight delay was without any doubt. Take in to account that the following websites are not always accurate and need a payment record.
2. You can use the web http://www.flightstats.com/ where if you register you can see the Aeroflot status of all flights including those of years ago.
3. Another way is accesing to https://www.flightradar24.com/ where you can see the last 7 days Aeroflot flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to two years ago.

Note: When the Aeroflot delay is very close to 3 hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% reliable, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the regulations says has to be taken in consideration.
