Rude hostesses who didn’t care at all about passengers’ needs. Terrible quality of food (we even found a stone in our salad which damaged our teeth) Small space for legs and very Uncomfortable seats (we could barely move) Awful pillows provided: small and dirty Not an inclusive airline at all when it comes to dietary requirements: Total Absence of dairy free options for snacks and milk .
