Le retard n'était pas conséquent, donc ça va. Le vol s'est déroulé comme tout autre vol.l'équipage était à l'écoute, la nourriture n'était pas bonne, très petite quantité, à la limite c'était du pain rassi, la cabine était à la limite sale. Je suggère une augmentation du prix du billet en espérant que le confort suivra.
