Being a charter carrier, the airline"Royal Flight" reviews negative character from passengers receives mainly due to delays in flights. And indeed, quite often the aircraft take off late, but not more often than other similar carriers.
Approximately 70% of passengers complained about theaircraft, focusing on how little space between the seats. It is impossible to fold the seat because it completely falls on the person sitting behind. And if in the case of a short flight this is not critical, then flights over 5 hours are very difficult to carry.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to tune into a flight without food or to purchase seats in the business class, where the menu is more diverse.
All without exception, note the excellent attitudepersonnel to the airline customers. Her employees are very polite, sympathetic and attentive. Flight-attendants, if possible, smooth out all the inconveniences of the flight.
