Everything was great, but the food was more like Soviet cafeteria food...

Pros: "Crew was very accommodating of my needs."
Cons: "The flight left 2 hours late. This is a problem in the bigger picture of air travel. The process of boarding, the service, and actions of the crew were all great."
Pros: "Seats and crew are the best"
Cons: "Flight time, also business class was almost empty, if I received an email I would have bet for upgrade"

Pros: "Crew were super friendly; food was very good - had trouble choosing options. This was in reference to business class."
