The plane itself looks very smart inside. There were 5 cabincrew members, 2 older ladies and 3 young ones.
The older ladies were advising the younger staff so I think they were in somekind of training.
The uniform looks a bit oldfashioned to me with the yellow-brownish cardigan and simular coloured skirt just under the knees.
Allthough two crewmembers weared navy-coloured trousers.
The flight was 45 min late due to the late arrival.
After going around with drinks, they went round with the inflight meal. As I was sitting in row 15 there was somekind of panic by the staff. They didn't had enough meals for the "non-premium" passengers.So they had to stop giving meals.
Finally they just have the "premium" meals to us. So instead of having Salmon with tortellini and a plastic cup with vegetables in oil and vinegar we were served a fillet of salmon with new potatoes and a small plate of salad and coleslaw.
The cabin crew were very friendly.
The flightdeck gave us some flightinformation during the flight as you used to get with Sobelair.
The only downpoint was that there was no inflight entertainment. Only 2 of the 9 musicchannels worked but no screens.
Totally understandable was the lack of a inflight magazine with prices of the duty-free goods. Instead the cabin crew wend round with prices of various products.
So I guess the magazine is still at the printers.
My impression is that Thomas Cook airlines has a huge competitor now.
A totall difference was the outbound flight of Futura. Its was over 2hrs late.
We were put on a 737-400 who has seen better days. All of chairs in front of me were damaged and filthy.
The meal was "something" with sauce and the crew(2 ladies and 2 gentlemen) were not very friendly except of one lady who didn't stop smiling the whole journey(
).Pehaps she smoked something...The crew looked very tired perhaps this was the reason why we got treated very unfriendly.
They only went round once with drinks.
