Overall a very comfortable trip. Boarding process could have been more organized. The food could be better. Crew is excellent!

Staff was very pleasant. Flight was delayed but information on delay was not clear.

Pros: "Nice staff at Precision"
Cons: "Every conceivable element, from the utter chaos of the airport to the challenge of navigating the check in to the quite warm cabin."
Cons: "I was told when I arrived that I have no seat in my booked flight, I have to reschedule and leave 8 hours later. Why let me start my trip is the knew I am going to set at the airport for hours after flying one leg."
Cons: "Poor service overall. Little empathy or care for passengers. Passengers are just a task to handle."

I arrived at the airport and the flight did not exist

They find a way to Nickel and dime you in all creative ways. The boarding crew seems to have target collection amount. If you are flying internationally, avoid them at all costs.
