Advantages

ComfortThis flight was not so good, the only good thing was the staff. They were very nice. And the toilets were also clean and hygienic. Unfortunately, the comfort was not good. Price performance is actually always good, as I book the flights last minute. The punctuality of the flight was not good, but everything went very smoothly during boarding. For the reasons mentioned above, I would give the whole flight three out of five stars.
