Hi Yonatan!
What a nice livery!
It's always a nice thing when you meet an old acquaintance!
Judging from these photos, everything about Easyjet seems to be just like the LLCs in my country. Looks like commercial aviation is becoming uniform all over the world.
This is different in my country, though. We just sit in silence for the whole flight. We only curse when we can't find an empty luggage bin or something like that.
Hahahhaha Please don't hate me. I know I'm a pest!! You meant "cruising altitude" of course. XDDD
Yummy!! Didn't the plastic wrap affect its crunchiness?
Thanks for the nice report and the beautiful aerials, Yonatan!! :)
Thanks for sharing a nice report with tons of pictures. I personally would spend a few more bucks for more luxury on a flight of 4 hours instead of flying LCC, but I guess you have had a bit of luck that the cabin was a newly updated one (As they have tons with the old worn cabins too!)
