I have waited on board the plane at Moscow for 4 hours because the FA forgot to inform the Planning Dept. that she did not have a visa.
Most of the time we have some notice that we are going to Moscow, unless diverted in flight, which I cannot think is often, so if the company were informed before the flight to Moscow, they could have pre-arranged for a visa to be ready on arrival.
It is a tough one, but like the above poster said, if you have a minimum rest for an early show the next day with pax, you need your rest.
However, surely something could have been organised so that the FA didnt have to stay at the airport alone.
One definately needs their wits about them while in Moscow airspace.
